Novel Study 100WC

At the start of the term Miss Spittle assigned us a novel study. As part of the novel study we had to steep into one of the characters shoes and write a 100 WC from their perspective.

It’s the year of 1942, I live in a dark run down old orphanage up in the mountains of Poland. Its summer here but it's still very cold. I´m Dodie and all my relatives are deceased. Today I went down for dinner. We're having soup, like we always do. It has cabbage leaves, pork fat and the occasional piece of grey plaster from the kitchen ceiling. I finish my bowl of soup. Felix isn't touching his food so I ask him if I can eat it, I knew he wanted it  but I asked anyway. We both laughed after that.

The Holidays

This morning we wrote 5 basic sentences about our holiday. We looked at a range of different connectives that will improve our writing. A connective is a word that joins simple sentences or ideas to make your writing better. some connectives are: such as, never the less, in spite of, but, and etc. After that we spent time improving our five basic sentences by using connectives. What connective can you use in your writing?

Despite already going to the super market I still had subway for lunch. The weather wasn't the best never the less we still had a fun holidays. Whilst we were in Invercargill we went to Spider Man Homecoming at the movies. In addition to that we had pizza for tea. In the second week of the holidays Mum and I came down and put the recycling bins out even though we didn't have to.

Novel Study

For reading this term we had to complete a novel study. My book was called An Elephant In The Garden. I hope you enjoy the work that I have done.

First Aid Kahoot

A few weeks ago St Johns for schools came to our school to teach us about first aid. To test how much we learnt and to teach other people we had to present our learning in a way that will help people learn about first aid. We had a few options they were: a Kahoot, a movie, a poster, a comic and a slide show. People only ended up doing movies and Kahoots in the end. I did a Kahoot. For this we had to draft on google docs 15 Questions with 1 correct answer and 3 wrong answers. Then we had to copy and paste the questions on to kahoot. After we had made our Kahoot we played it with the class. It was a great way to learn and I would definitely do it again on various topics.

The Cream Egg

Today we did a 100 word challenge it was about this picture. 

We had to try and show off the different types of punctuation and skills we can use in only 100 words. 

Eventually we knew this would happen, Joey dropped his cream egg. His taste buds were working hard to make it go back to were it belongs. But the traffic didn’t agree. They put up some traffic cones so that no body could get through. Then it happened they see the drenched bully heading for them. It came in fast and we couldn't stop it  It wiped it all away and the dreams of getting it back to Joeys mouth was crushed.  In every recovery mission the drenched bully always came and swipes it out from ‘under our fingertips’. Which sucks!

My Lions Holiday

This term in room 4 for maths we did a unit on budgeting. Because the lions were coming to New Zealand Miss Blair decided that we should incorporate it with our maths. We had to budget a holiday as a lions fan. The budget was $10,000. There were a few rules listed on one of the slides that we had to stick too.

I finished with $227. 50 left over. I thought that that was pretty good because I stayed in the budget and stayed to all of the restrictions. Something I need to work on is asking for help if I'm not quite sure what to do so that I finish things on time.

The Quest

This weeks prompt for the 100 WC " now what do I need". We were focusing on changing the openings of our sentences and using level four punctuation. . , ? ! " " ' ... ;: ( )


In a world like no other there lived a girl. She lived with her twelve brothers in a small cottage on the edge of town. Like an abandoned dog the children were malnourished and starving. At a chance for a better home and enough food to last them a life time she set out on a quest; not knowing the danger ahead of her. She took only what she needed to survive and no more. I’ve got the unicorns hair, the golden egg. “Now what do I need?”she wondered. Continuing her journey she traveled afar finding everything she needed.
