100 Word Challenge

100 Word Challenge

This week our 100-word challenge is about St Patrick's Day, The story I wrote is very interesting and not something I would usually write. Here is my story.

I was just gardening as usual and this really grumpy old lady wanted to give me a garden nome. I took it because I was scared of what she would do if I didn't take it. I put it in my backyard and strange things started to happen.  I always heard noises and it was like screeching. One night it got so bad I thought someone was in my house. I would always check but the nome would just be in the same place. I know there's not an actual person trying to break in because I have cameras. If it was the nome I wouldn't know because its too short for the camera.

100 Word Challenge

For weeks 4 and 5 we had to do a 100-word challenge.  I have been away so I am doing this now.  Here is what I came up with for the 100-word story. 

100 word story: I was just zooming around the house looking for any food. I happen to find some cheese in a bedroom. I was just calmly eating the cheese and I heard foot steps of a cat. I took my cheese and went to the kitchen and I saw a cat. I thought it saw me so I ran and went into a cup.  Now the cat is trying to find me. I can hear it sniffing around and I’m getting a bit worried.  Hopefully, a human comes home soon and distracts it.  I think the cat might have found me now...

Roald Dahl

 BOY Tales Of Childhood

Today we picked a book to read in term 4 out of 3 choices.  The choices were,  Roald Dahl Boy Tales of Childhood,  Fleur Beale Playing To Win & Rodman Philbrick Freak The Mighty.  I picked Roald Dahls book because I find then interesting and not to easy.  We have to do 2 or 3 questions off this chart.

The 3 that I chose are....

Q: Read the blurb on the back.  Does this interest you?  Why/Why not?

A: Yes, This interests me. This interests me because I like anything books like david walliams. I like books what he and other authors write because they write them funny but also serious.

Q: I predict the book will be about...

A: I think this book will about the story of Roald Dahls life as a young boy or in his early 20s. I also predict this book will be about something funny, serious and possibly some mischievous work.

Q: What impression do you get from the front cover?  What can you infer about the book?

A: My impression I got from the cover is probably a weird, silly and crazy life. I really hope it is because that would make a awesome story

Do you like Roald Dahl books or David Williams better ?

Do you read silly, crazy books often ?

Blog ya later.

Health

Gender  &  Smoking 

For a couple of weeks we have been doing health.  We have been look at health crisis.  We had a really long list to look at and chose one to research about.  I chose smoking because I know somewhat about smoking.  I made a chart on men and women,  and age groups on who smokes more.  I found out men smoke more.

I think people should stop smoking and start chewing gum to help you stop smoking.

Do you know anyone that smokes ?

What is your opinion about smoke

Kirsty and I think that it would be best to get an Axolotl because it's cheaper and easier to look after, there is less to do so that they won’t have to take time to prepare work for the students to get a pet. 

Kirsty and I also discussed that you don’t need that much money to get the things because instead of getting the expensive brands you can get the budget brands.
