Descriptive Sentence

We were given a task to do during the holidays which was to find a descriptive sentence in a book that we read in the holidays. I read Diary Of a Wimpy Kid Old School here is the sentence I found.

My Book Review

"WOW" it is already the end of the term. We were asked to write another book review. If you haven't read my first one you could. The link is here:My Book Review. This time I wrote about Tom Gates Top Of The Class (nearly). Here it is.

The Swimming Race: A Sporting Moment in Time

Recently in Room five we had Midland Line Swimming Sports. We were told to write a description about that day. Here it is.

As I walk into the pool I start to feel butterflies in my stomach. All the other schools have arrived and are waiting for us to come and sit down. There are lots of schools there and as I walk to the bench, it is like they are all looking at me. The first race is the one hundred meter race. They have other one hundred meters races because there are more then five competitors. After that race they call out number three “NOW I’M REALLY NERVOUS!”. This race is the one length freestyle, here we go I’m in the pool waiting for the teacher to SLAM! the bricks together. All of a sudden SLAM! I get off to a bad start so I go faster I can see the other racers next to me zooming ahead of me I kick harder and end up coming third I hit the end in relief “Race Well Done” I grumble to myself. "OKAY" I think to myself I can do this I check my arm and realize I have quite some time till my next race.

Okay, now we are at number 10 and I’m waiting in line with my opponents thinking about winning, although I don’t think I will. We are next. As I wait in the water my hand starts to hurt then SLAMMMMMMM!! Go the bricks sounding like they are going to break it is then when I get halfway across the pool on my first length I realize i’m second “I CAN DO THIS’’ I say in my mind. On my second length now I saved my energy on the last lap and now I think I am first, and before you know it I’ve hit the end of the pool. Parents say “Good Job” and the ones that know me say “Well Done Blake” as I walk across the end of the pool trying not to trip over on the pool lane ropes.

I hand my time to the person who writes the times then I head back to the bench. I think my next race is one length breaststroke as I’m waiting my name gets called out and I’m waiting for the race that is happening now and I’m standing on the edge of the pool, I’m going to dive then “SLAMMMM!” off I go as I’m in the air, then when I splash into the water all that excitement fades away….. “What are you doing” I just about fell asleep, I push my head up and gulp for air I feel very weird doing this because I’m bobbing up for air every few seconds I push both of my hands and realize that I CAME FIRST! I’m so proud of myself. There were multiple races throughout the day and I can’t wait to do it again.

This is me in breaststroke!

Global Warming

In room five we have been reading about Global Warming for Infobytes. We were asked to write about facts for global warming and the dangers about it. I did a Google drawing with Jake.

Haiku

In Room five we have been writing using Haiku. A Haiku is a traditional Japanese way of making a poem. If you want to make one for yourself you can see it by clicking on this link: Haiku.
The rules to making a Haiku is that you have to have five syllables on the first line and 7 on the next line then 5 again and you can't have any more than that. Here is mine.

Swimming Term 1 Reflection

Well the term is nearly over and swimming is also ending so the teacher decided that we could reflect on swimming. We made a slideshow about it. Here is mine.

Our Harold Visit 2018

In Room five we went to Harold. While we were there we learned about the digestive system and how it works. We also learned step by step where it goes and what the body parts of the digestive system are called. I worked on this with Deakyn and we wrote different parts that we could remember.

Hunting And Fishing Competition 2018

On Easter Weekend there was a Hunting and Fishing Competition. We were asked to write about it but some people didn't go to it so we had to think about what it was like and I didn't go to it so I had to think with the help of photos. We wrote a description about it using present tense and vivid words. Another thing we were working on was to zoom in on our writing and add detail. Here is mine.

Hunting and Fishing

Making my way to the Hunting and Fishing Competition for the first time, I can’t wait. I already feel disgusted by all the dried blood and wounds the poor animals had to go through when they got shot. I  notice a tent that has driven everybody’s attention. I power walk over there trying not to be suspicious. I hear talking get all of a sudden louder. I try to push my way to the front but it is difficult because everyone is crammed in a small space.

After half an hour of just walking around I find some very disgusting dead hares, goats, deers, fish, and some eels that are alive. When I go to feel them the eels are slimy and slippery just like a squishy toy. I really am not a fan of eels because they are slippery and slimy. (I am also a little scared of them like they are going to bite me.) I notice a big red truck that has all of the deers hanging by their hooves and there is a big blue tractor. I am all of a sudden very interested in what is happening here. I think the tractor is lifting the deer and putting them on the truck. After three hours I get bored so I go home.

In my opinion I would like to go to the Hunting and Fishing Competition again, and maybe next year I will enter the competition. I think the point of the Hunting and Fishing competition is to lower the population of the pests in the area.
