Diet Follow up

This my groups DLO on diet. We were looking at the ancient Olympians diet then we compared it to modern day Olympians diet. We saw a big difference. The Ancient Olympians didn't eat as much as modern day and they didn't have as much healthy food. The Ancient Olympians at a lot of dry food. We had to find a website for it, but it had to pass the C.R.A.P test. C for current, R for Reliable, A for Authority and P for Purpose.

Magic Box Poem

Use powerful imagery to write your own ‘Magic Box’ poem that paints a picture in the mind of the reader

List

I will put into the box...

The amazing feeling of being able to fly

The shiny spark of gold reflecting in my eyes

The smooth feeling of diamond

I will put into the box...

The cool feeling of raising an iron sword

The feeling hovering over the stormy ocean waves on a hoverboard

The shooting star flashing past my eyes

I will put into the box...

The taste of fresh lemon drink sliding down my throat

The brightest poppy to honour the ANZAC soldiers

The rumbling noise of a dinosaurs rumbling stomach

The feeling of hot chocolate melting in my hands as it shape shifts into a solid chocolate bar

My box is fashioned from platinum sides and steel and edges , with golden coins on the lid and sparkly glitter in the corners.

Its hinges are made out of the strongest metals that you can find on earth

I shall keep adventuring the wild places in my box

This is my poem on my magic box. We had to write three things on three of our list. We had to make it into sentences. To make it sound better we had to use our 5 senses. After that we had to write what our box is made out of.

Warriors visit PBS

Two of the warriors came to PBS, Ryan Hoffman and John Palavi. Georgia came as well she was the one calling out the questions. First they introduced themselves. There was a spinning wheel, there were different topics, and which ever one it lands on we talk about. The first topic was trivia. We were doing questions. Whoever gets the questions correct gets a spot prize. Another way to win prizes was to read the words on the board. Thanks to Alice to for sponsoring PBS.

After that we we were learning how to start a race for a short distance race. First we have to take a step back behind the yellow line, then Andy called out on your! and we would step forward. Then she called out set! we would have our back heel standing up and our hands should be in the cheek to cheek position. When she said GO! we ran our fastest to the other side. The next thing was get a partner, get a cone and lye down on our tummy, face our partner. When she says on your marks set Go! we would run to our cone and out it back we were lying. CJ beat me the first time but I beat him the second time.

Searching for the different language features

Today we were searching for the different descriptive language features and  we had to highlight it, we also had to write beside it what language feature it is. My partner was Cyrus we found a lot of different language features. We took turns on highlighting and writing. The language features we were looking for were nouns, adverbs, adjectives, metaphors, similes and verbs. All together we found 42 descriptive language features. The most language feature we found were nouns and verbs.

Descriptive Language Features

So we are learning about descriptive language features. We had to give some example to Ms Naicker first. We had to make a presentation or google drawing and write the different descriptive language features. We also had to include the definition and some examples.

For reading we did current events and out event was The Big Sleep Out. We had to read an article then answer the questions. This was an event that happened last year and 135 people participated. The main idea was to know what events are happening around the world. My point of view changed because of what the homeless really had to go through. It also changed because how they have no place to stay and no food to eat.
