Personification writing piece.

Small pieces of rocks, grass and stones stuck in me isn’t such a pleasant feeling. The pain being inflicted on my body hurts badly. Stepping on poop smells DISGUSTING and UNCOMFORTABLE!!! At this point I couldn’t bare to breathe with the unbearable scents surrounding me. Falling into a nasty, smelly, puddle made me soaked and smelly!! I’m starting to think that my only source of food is the stale bubblegum stuck to the floor with each step my owner took on them. Gross… Does my owner even have eyes? Each step my owner took was on one of the most disgusting parts on the ground (puddles, poop, bubble gum and rocks). I’m yearning for the day when I get brought back to the shoe store...

Written by | Nyjah and Chavda

Today, Chavda and I has written a personification writing piece about shoes. Personification is non living objects that has human qualities or abilities. We associated our story with shoes because we use them everyday. Although, the twist was we sat back to back and we couldn't speak while we wrote. Chavda and I had no problem writing this writing piece together as most of our ideas were similar and if they weren't we simply just changed some of our sentences to fit our liking. We used the 5 senses in our writing piece.

The most horrible people in history. Gavrilo Princip.

For the past 2 weeks LS2 has read amazing horrible history books and created a presentation and kahoot. This was a very fun project to work on. I read the most horrible people in history. My main focus was on Gavrilo Princip. I found many facts about him and his past which was very interesting. I managed to create a presentation and kahoot for everyone. A very fun fact I learnt about Gavrilo Princip was that he shot Austrian Archduke Franz and everyone associated the death of Austrian with his people. Basically, people instead insisted that Gavrilo shot "20 million people." (Although, Gavrilo did not.) 

Tennis

Today LS2 participated in another fun lesson of Tennis with Peter. The new skill we learnt was "Volley." Volley is having a iron grasp on the racket and having a short but swift movement with your wrist that hits the ball over. My partner and I was able to volley the ball back to each other after a few minutes of adjusting to the technique and practice. Although, I have created a google draw that compares my movements to a very famous tennis player Serena Williams.

Financial Literacy - Game

Today Florence, Haylee and I have played a very fun and interesting game that is about profit, discounts, selling and balance. The game is called "Market Day." Each person rolled two dice 15 times and landed on two different spaces. Either a sale (you can sell one item which is depended on the second dice) or market option which is selling more items for a discount or giving one free. Our goal was to make a profit and not go overdraft. The items we could sell were 3 juggling per set for 12$ (10 sets of juggling balls so 30 balls in total), 10 Hacky sacks which were 5$ each and 10 Bungy balls which were 8$ each. In the end we all had to take out 70$ from our profit as that was the amount for our stall.

Firework Safety.

Today Chavda, Fui, Marieta and I created a firework safety presentation as today is Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes is a fun and special day celebrated by many people. Although, people from all ages should stay safe. We have listed 5 steps you should follow on this day. After creating the presentation we presented to LS1 and Room 5. 

Woodwork - Tech

Today for woodwork in tech some of the year 8s are starting to sand down their projects while others create the joints. I was able to complete my joint which will help join my other piece of wood together. My project is going to be a jewelry tree. I only need one joint cut out and then I will only need a few pieces added to my design. Although, next week I will be moving onto sanding down my wood so that it's smooth.
