Five Sentence Challenge.

This week in writing my group went onto the Five Sentence Challenge website. The five sentence challenge is when you get given a picture and you have to write a story about it using only five sentences, Mrs Taylor wanted us to use power words. The trick with it is you have to pick only one part of the picture to write about. I chose the girl and the dog.
This was the picture:

This is what I wrote:

A light breeze pricked my skin, the smell of rain in the air was immanent. Sam was barking at tadpoles cutting the surface of the lake. He came bounding up to me, his slobbery tongue attacking my face. Placing one of his large, wet, dripping paws on my lap, I knew what he wanted. Giggling, I scratched him behind his velvet ears, his tail thumping the ground.

The Golden Ticket

This Weekend I was performing my dance schools performance of ¨The Golden Ticket¨. Selwyn School of Dance is my Dance school and ¨The Golden Ticket¨ is the first performance that the Contemporary,Jazz,Hip Hop, Musical Theater and Theater Craft classes got to have their own performance. ¨The Golden ticket¨ is the dance schools version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. For the Matinee I was Veruca Salt, I had so much fun being Veruca and I got to speak with a british accent, my favorite line was,
¨I want a Squirrel, I want one! All ive got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and three parakeets and two canneries and a turtle and a silly old hamster! I WANT A SQUIRREL!¨. Then in the evening show I was a Villager, a Pure Imagination girl and a Squirrel.
All the leads got a flower that was dyed rainbow.

Toolkit

On Wednesday we went to Hornby Primary to do Toolkit. Toolkit is a thing were students from the different Hornby cluster schools came and took ¨Sessions¨ with different toolkits. We had to sign up to different toolkits but also we took one toolkit. Bree, Grace, Lucy and I had to do blogger. Then Grace and Bree were both sick so Lucy and I got Prudence to help us and we all went on the day.

We made a slide on how to create a quality blog post:

Timetable

This is my timetable for the term

Senior Buddies

This week Laura and I started Senior Buddies. Senior Buddies is a support system that has two/three seniors going into one of the three junior classes. We get to do stuff like, help with reading and sight words, testing spelling and helping with fitness. I really enjoy this because I love the juniors and I love helping them learn. 

Children and Young Adults book awards

Today we got to go to St Margaret's to listen to six authors talk about their books. My favorite authors were Leonie Agnew and an Illustrator, Jenny Cooper. I really like Jennys drawings and Leonie talked about her book, The Impossible boy, I really like her and afterwards I got to go down and ask a question, I asked if they had any suggestions for anyone who wants to be an author and they gave me lots of helpful information that I would use.

If I had to choose a book to win the book awards I would choose Leonie Agnew´s The impossible Boy, I really liked the part she read and she is a great person to listen to.

Netball Zones

On Wednesday the 2nd the Yr 7&8 netball team went to netball zones at rollistion college, it was fun but we didn't win any games though we did tie one. The first game we played we lost to rolliston college then we played against burnham, we tied that one-one all. Then we played rollestons other team and we lost again but it started poring with rain and we had to go inside to the gym. Our last game was cancelled but we versed West Melton and we lost but we had fun and it was an awesome experience.
