Parallel lines never meet it doesnt matter what size they just have to be evenly apart and never meet.

Perpendicular lines are lines that cross and make a right angle here is and example

That is a perpendicular line because when it crosses the corners are able to form right angles.

Here are the sheets that I have completed showing the lines.

Poem

A drop in the ocean, A tree in a forest

Its okay look at me, Even when your lost at sea

Don’t be a shrinking violet, Be as fresh as a daisy

It will drive you crazy.  Even when a snail is slow

It’s okay if you feel low. Even when it stings.

There will always be a new beginning.

 

The idioms I have used were: A drop in the ocean,, Shrinking violet, Fresh as a daisy.

The meaning of these idioms are: A drop in the ocean = an amount that is so small that it does not make an important difference or have much effect. Shrinking Violet = Means someone who is very shy or modest. Fresh as a daisy = be full of energy and enthusiasm.

Idioms

Over the past few days we have been learning about figurative and literal language and one of our tasks was idioms. An idiom is a type of phrase or expression that has a meaning that can’t be deciphered by defining the individual words. The idioms I chose were to hit the sack and let the cat out of the bag.

Action Station ~{Drama}~

This term I have been apart of a Theatre Sports Group. We have been using our voices and different movements with our bodies to play a variety of drama games. The activity I enjoyed the most was shapes because you had to make certain shapes using your ideas and imagination. The most challenging part for me this term was trying to remember all the lines of the script and stay focused.

Action Station Softball

1. What did you think of softball as an action station?

Well in my opinion I think it was really good that we got the option to play softball.

2.  What did you learn/do in this action station?

I learnt how to run around the bases and catch the ball as I have never played softball before.

3. Did you enjoy/not enjoy it? Why?

I thought it was pretty fun.

4. What did you find challenging?

What I found challenging was when I had to run around the base as fast as I could it made me feel a bit nervous.

5.  What was your favourite part?

My favourite part of softball was when I was in the field and we had to try and catch the ball.

6. Would you choose it again if this was put forward next term?

I’m not to sure.

 

Persuasive Writing

This term we have been learning about persuasive writing and what it means. Persuasive writing is a type of writing that it means to persuade you into doing or buying things. Example a lot of company’s use persuasive writing so more costumers will visit their environment.

So in this post I will have a rhetorical question, a simile, and I will use persuasive writing. Here is my take on it.

Most skills use so much technology, especially to do writing. Does it hurt your eyes when you stare at a screen? I think that schools should use less because, always being on a device is not going to increase your fine motor skills, writing on a computer will make it so you don’t practice handwriting and people get enough screen time at home and if you’re handwriting isn’t clear no one will be able to read it!!!

Constantly writing on a computer is not going to improve your handwriting. However when you write in your book you will be improving your handwriting to make it look neat and professional. Don’t you want to be able to write nice and clear?

Writing in a book will be better for your brain and your fine motor skills, when you’re just typing on a Chromebook your hands only lightly glide across the keyboard! And when you write with a pencil your hand will be tightened and strong and you will be moving your wrist and strengthening it.

At home you get enough screen time and you are damaging your eyes staring at a screen. You need to make sure your eyes are nice and healthy and if  you are always on a screen your eyes will get blurrier and blurrier.

Using technology every day is as bad as binge eating candy!!

So no more technology!!

 

My Camp Goals

My Spencer Park Camp Goals

My first goal for the camp is to bike 8 km this will be a HUGE challenge for me because when I bike I don’t bike for a long time I only bike small distances.

My second goal is to successfully put up the tent, I think me and my group will be able to if we use teamwork.

My third goal is to be able to cook a delicious dinner with me and my group, we are going to cook noodles and eggs.

My last goal is to make sure I pick up after myself and I make sure I keep the environment tidy.

Thanks for reading.
