Room 8 haiku

For the past few days room 8 and I have been learning about Haiku.Haiku is a traditional poem that only has:

• Three lines
• 17 syllables: first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables and last line 5 syllables.
• And you have to use seasonal reference.

I enjoyed writing the haiku in a group. This is my group haiku:

     Clouds emptied the sky,

Waves crashing onto the rocks

      Blanketing the sand

Hurricane

For reading I played a game called Hurricane Reading Comprehension. For me this game was quit hard because because some of the question were very hard to anwser and some were easy to anwser. I enjoyed playing this game I will definantly play this game in my free time.

Converting metric units

For maths I played a game called convert cup to quarts.  It was very difficult to understand how to play this game. It was very hard to move from each level to another. I will definitely play this game again.

Brooke Neal

Today a olympian came to our school and her name is Brooke Neal. Brooke Neal is a olympian. Brook Neal was talking about the three olympic values and she also add one more in. Brook Neal told us that she had I poster of the hockey team and at the back she wrote:

• Nothing can stop me
• I am powerful
• I show pride
• I will do my best everyday.

She said that she hanged this poster in her room and read it to herself before she left to her games.

Basketball

Today we had basketball with our two coaches Yaron and Malik. We learnt a lot of things like BEEF and BEEF stands for Balance, Eyes on the target, Elbows facing the hoop and Follow through. We also learnt to catch with your fingers shaped as a diamond. The whole classroom enjoy learning new skills and and playing basketball games with the coaches.

Decimal

For this weeks maths we have been learning decimals. This game was a consolidation for the future. This game was easy for me and I had no problems playing this game. I will definitely play this game again.
