100 Word Challenge

This week for the 100 word challenge the prompt was 'but then the weather changed dramatically'. We had to focus on using exemplary vocabulary and punctuation.


It was a simmering hot day and the beach was jam packed full of families swimming and people getting tans. Personally it’s a bit too hot for me but the fact that I was in Fiji made it worth the headaches. I could see something in the sky; but nobody else seemed to see Anything so I just thought I was hallucinating. Until the wind started to pick up; then the weather changed dramatically… It was coming closer now and people were panicking they knew what it was and I did too. Imagine the damage it will cause… “oh no.”

Speech Board

Speech board is an assessment that we do every year at Drummond School. For this we have to read a passage from a book, memories a poem, present a speech and do an impromptu speech.

This year I did my speech board on Fantails, my book was ‘ an Elephant in the garden’ by Michael Morpurgo and my poem was about what I did in the Easter holidays ( we wrote our own poems this year).  For our presentation we created a slideshow on google slides. It had to have bullet points and pictures. I found out lots of interesting stuff about the Fantails breeding patterns like they can lay up to five clutches of up to five eggs every season. Another interesting fact is that 20% of Fantails are completely black.

We  do Speech board because it helps us learn to speak loud and clear and to memorize things. I personally don’t like Speech board because it’s kind of boring and costs lots of money that could be used towards more important things; like warming the school pool and starving people.

100 word challenge

Every Monday we have a new creative challenge called the 100 word challenge. This is a good writing task for learning because you have to really focus on the words you use because you only have a specific amount of word you can use.
This weeks prompt is 'the water just kept gushing out'.


There had just been an Earthquake in downtown Chicago, it was a 8.7 magnitude. A building had collapsed and There were a 5 fatalities and countless people hurt and hospitalized. The noise was so loud that I couldn't hear a thing, there was a distinct smell of dust and blood.then an aftershock hit. I could hear something wrong. A pipe had burst and the road had fallen in. There was water everywhere and it wouldn't stop. The water just keep gushing out. Just to make everything better it was now wet and slippery. It was disastrous!

About Me

This week in room 4 we created info graphics on Piktochart  about our self .  I really enjoyed this because I liked designing the info graphics and arranging the things on it.  I didn't get to finish it properly which was a bummer.   It was a great experience and i would like to do it again.
