My book review

The boy on cinnamon street

Title: The boy on cinnamon street

Author: Phoebe Stone

Storyline: A book about a girl that has a secret admirer and he is a little crazy about the girl but they never never get to meet each other and the girl is really good at gymnastics but suddenly she is failing at everything her family as a secret that has cust hr family forever but over the spring break she meets her secret admirer and the power of love took the crust away and she goes back to being awesome at gymnastics this book is if you like love stories

What I liked best: The story It just made me melt and feel all bubbly i really liked all the described sentences they used.

What i didn't like: them talking too much about her gymnastics and how good she was.

Favorite character and why: louise terance her life was so good apart from the curse and all her boy problems her family and friends wore perfect i really wish i was her.

Would i recommend this book:I would if you are into all the the love and dramatic books if you  didnt want to hear the writer talk on and on about gymnastics skip half of chapter eight.

Olympic Artwork

This term we have been doing an olympic art piece with two similes and two metaphors.  For the people that don’t know what a simile and a metaphor is i will explain

A simile is a comparison using like or as example Hiss Hills was as angry as a dragon.  

A metaphor is a direct comparison not using like or as bout you can us was example Miss Hills is a dragon.

Around the border is olympic vocabulary like the  3 olympic values excellence, friendship and respect.

For the math side of it we tessellated  (for people that don't know what a tessellation is a tessellation is a repeating pattern that has no gaps and is  coloured in a pattern.)

To make this we had to choose an athlete and take a photo of our head cut the athlete heads off. No i did not kill them and stick my head on the athlete's body and then stick it onto the tessellation art then I glued the tessellation onto the A3 bit of paper that a few inches had been cut off and then Miss Hills laminated it and then it was done,  now is hanging in room 10.

I completed course 2 on coding

Hong Kong STEM Challenge No. 2

Materials we had access to:

6 x long sticks

1 x wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces

 

Challenge #1

Build a structure with a cube as the base:

In challenge 1 was quite hard because we had to have steady hands or we would knock it over and we would have to rebuild it.

Challenge #2

Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge #2 was two was easier than challenge 1 because we got to use any bottom base and make the tallest building.  But the building would always fall over so I will get angry at it.

Challenge #3

Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3 was really easy because we were building it a little safe.  It didn’t turn out that impressive but it still to us was the best thing we have ever sore.
