Making a complex sentence

Today at literacy we learned about complex sentences. A complex sentence is two simple sentences joined together to make a bigger one but their is a thing called a conjunction that joined the two sentences together to make it a complex sentence. But you also need two verbs (doing word) in the two sentences here is the photo that I used for my complex sentences.

Weather art

This term we have been learning about weather. In art I created a stormy night picture with lightning. First I started with my lightning we couldn't make it thick or strait and it was hard because I had to press so lightly that the brush would only skim across the page. Then I did the black cloud so all we did was dab the page with black so there was like a big black sun. Lastly I did the glue on the silhouette and we stuck it on the paper to the bottom of the page. Here is my finished product

Antarctica descripton

For literacy we have been learning about Antarctica. We were told to write about Antarctica so we had to find facts about Antarctica. We started learning about Antarctica when we went on a trip to the Antarctic center to learn about explorers the weather and the animals that live in Antarctica. Then we were asked to choose a topic between Animals, explorers and weather and climate. Once we had chosen our topic we were told to write a story about Antarctica before we start on our topic. Here is my writing

introduction	1of 7 contenents, desert
characteristics	Cold 25% bigger than europe 2x the size of  australia, covered by snow has land underneath, has 90% of worlds snow . 2500 meters (2.5 km) deep snow. hard to live. coldest place on earth. Surrounded by water. The south pole can be found there. Doubles the size because of sea ice White desert
evaluation	I think that antarctica is a place that you should visit some day

                                      Antarctica

Crisp,white and unwelcoming. Antarctica is considered a desert because it has no rain. It is also 1 of the 7 continents in the world.

Antarctica is 2 times the size of Australia and 25% bigger than Europe. It has some amazing landscape that will blow you away for example massive glaciers and crazy ice platforms that overhang the a white cloudland. Antarctica has an active volcano named Mount erebus, mount erebus first Formed in 1908 and the last eruption was in 2011. Mount erebus also had a plane crash in 1979. A DC-10 with 257 people on board crashed at mount erebus and killed all people on board. Antarctica has 90% of world snow which if you think about is really fascinating because that means that the rest of the world only has 10 percent of the world's fresh water. Antarctica also has 70% of the world's fresh water so If you melted the whole of antarctica the world would have more fre

Antarctica emperor penguin writing

this week we have been writing about Antarctic animals. we first started learning about Antarctica when we went to the antarctic center to learn about the history and what happened at Antarctica. we went around most of the place looking at facts about animals, explorers and the weather. my favorite part was the snow room.

evaluation	I think that the emperor penguin is cute because of it's size. It makes it look so soft and cuddly

Emperor penguin

Emperors penguins live in Antarctica. they are a bird.

Emperors can grow up to 20 years old which is really crazy. Emperors have white belly's with a little bit of yellow/orange fur on the top with black all around. Emperors weigh 30kg/66lbs. they are 115cm tall/3.8ft that makes the Emperor the tallest penguin alive.

Emperors breed in the middle of winter. they must keep their babies warm other wise they will die. they would be too cold to survive and to young because they would not know any survival skills.

Emperors eat fish, krill and squid. The baby penguins feed on krill and squid. The population of Emperors are roughly around 595,000 emperors in the world.

Personally Emperor penguins are my favorite because they are unique and cool because of their height and their size compared to a human.

School hiding spot

For the last week we have been writing about SHS hiding spots. In this task we had to plan of what our hiding looked like and then we took a photo of what our hiding spots looked like this is my writing. In the photo I am behind the container door

One fine day at school with kids playing ball tag and all of that and then all of a sudden a mysterious plane came out of nowhere With a big T on it, Cobi and I were confused but then we saw Lots of mexicans fell out of the plane and then we saw a orange figure hanging out of the plane. Cobi heard the orange figure say “haha mexicans I have put sleeping pills in your food NOW YOU ARE OUT OF AMERICA” and then he said Make america great again!. Me and Cobi were Confused but when I looked at the pile of mexicans they all had GUNS so me and Cobi ran to A place that I Know of by the middles syndicate. Once we were there I climbed onto the container door.

I was standing on the hinges when a portal appeared on the door, So I jumped in and Cobi followed. Now we were somewhere completely different to where we were Because we were in cuba and there were these two cars racing one was black and one was matte grey and the grey car had most of it's car parts missing. then we were teleported to somewhere else but this time Cobi was stuck in Cuba so I was alone in this military base with all of these weird things like grenade shape things, so i took them all and then I teleported back to the hiding spot. I ran to the field with all the angry mexicans and threw the device It blew up and a group of mexicans but then they magically disappeared into

perswasive writing

for the last couple of weeks we have been dong lots of persuasive writing here is one of many of them

 school uniforms are everything

Are you fatigued from washing clothes over and over and OVER again? Because I Believe that it's important that we have uniforms because everybody is the same and nobody is different, It feels good to show that you’re part of a particular school

and you won't ruin your clothes.

Firstly,everyone is the same when they wear uniforms and what I mean by that nobody would look different If we all wear the same thing. Another thing is that If you were wearing a different style of clothes like for example a style from the 80S other kids would bully a child that is different.

Secondly a child would feel good to represent their school and by that I mean they would be proud to be part of the school they go to and also if a child is wearing normal clothes some people might think that the child is not going to a school and others might call the police and the caregiver could go to jail.

And lastly you won't ruin other clothes and I mean that if you wore normal clothes to school you might rip them or get them dirty and then your mum or dad will have to do lots of washing and the other reason is that you  Will have more choice of clothes to wear over holidays or weekends.

  

persuasive writing

we have been working on persuasive writing for the last two weeks step by step we learnt about it and then in the second week we started writing it and this is the final product

• The reasons why with supporting ideas

A purr-fect friend for Ms McLeod

No pun intended

Did you know that a cat has a smooth,soothing purr,so I think ms Mcleod should buy a cat because they are cute and cuddly,cheaper than a dog and if you own a cat you have a 40% less chance of dying of a heart attack

Firstly, I think ms Mcleod should buy a cat because they are soft and furry. Also they comfort you by rubbing their head on your leg. Also It can help you relax and sleep but the best thing is got to be their faces because they are so cute especially If their face looks angry It makes them look so cute.

Another reason is that a cat is more cheaper than a dog and what I mean by that is a cat needs less attention because it doesn't need lots of toys because a dog likes attention,For example when you leave your house a dog will start howling and barking but a cat will just be like eh whatever and wander around the house all day.

Finally I think ms Mcleod should get a cat because for some weird reason if you have never owned a cat before you have a 40% more chance of dying of a heart attack now… It may sound peculiar but a cat can ease the pain when you have a heart attack,also scientist have talked about the myth and is believed to be REAL.

In conclusion I think Miss Mcleod should get a cat, because the are amazing cuddly animals that need less attention and can lower the chance of dying of a heart attack. So stop what you are doing! And hit up your local pet store to get you Purr-fect purring friend so please consider buying one of these furry animals for only a few dollars.

Olympic activity day 2

Star Explosion Writing

STAR EXPLOSION


For the last few weeks we have been doing learning how to write paragraphs in our writing and making them more descriptive.

Star Explosion

When a star is going to explode it means it's the end of the star's life. Then it begins its process of the explosion. It happens in four parts.

At first it doesn't look like a explosion but inside is a boiling fuse ready to explode. It swaps color between yellow,orange and red that means that it’s ready to explode. I think that it does this so that more stars can fit in and shine bright. This makes me wonder. what aliens think they are?

Then  the red starts to fade away and then the orange gets darker. then the flame starts to bubble outside of the circle. that means that inside the star it is expanding and trying to push out. And then all of a sudden yellow blobs of fire emerge from the star. This makes me wonder,What does a star explosion look like from earth?

The yellow spots turn into a blue flame. Wow!!! a big flash just like a camera.This  means it's blowing up. When the flash goes away the star is now and blue that is the hottest flame. this makes me wonder how long do stars live?

Now the star is blue that means it is very hot!. and then all of a sudden the blue star starts to expand and get bigger. it has 3 colors they are,a dark blue,a neon blue and a whitish color. The star is as bright as the night sky. This makes me wonder how hot is it?.
