My Memory Block - Edited

This is my new version of my Memory Block. I have edited it to make it more interesting. Please comment on this post.

FIJI  

The plane ride to Fiji was long but not boring. There was always something to do on the plane. The TV could let me play games, and watch movies. It’s the way down that hurts me. My ears were screaming in pain and I was probably about to as well. All I needed was one juicy, delicious, lolly to suck on. I’ve learnt my lesson.

Coconuts

The coconut milk tasted so tangy, delicious and smooth in my mouth, with a bit of an aftertaste of cream. I wished the heavenly luscious taste would remain in my mouth enduringly.

Hammock

Lying there in the relaxing sun on that net hung between two trees. I felt a bit disturbed as I swung there in between those two palm trees with delicious yet heavy coconuts dangling from their ceilings.

Beach

The hot sandy beach below the little hill was one of my favourite places to be in Fiji. Running down the hill into the waveless, cool water felt like running into paradise as I sank into the refreshing Fijian Ocean.

Sunshine

The tropical sun blazing against my skin as I walk outside, admiring my surroundings. Each day full of it, boiling my body until I feel the supreme need to bomb into the swimming pool, not distant away from my hotel room.

Kayaking

I strapped on my life jacket and hopped into the banana coloured kayak, while Dad pushed it into the sea. I rowed to the small lump of sand I could see in the distance.

Relax

Relaxing in the tropical sun in Fiji made me feel peaceful and sleepy. Each moment I relax in the sun, the heat makes it’s way into my skin like a great hot chocolate warming me up in the winter.

Reflection T1 Week 8

This week I got three questions wrong in my SRA and it took me two tries to get it right again. In my Cloze I got three wrong, but it only took one try to get it right.
I think next week when I do these two activities I will try to concentrate on this a lot more next week.
In my AWS I got five wrong. I wasn't expecting that as it was a really easy page. I think that when I do my AWS I need to concentrate harder. The most occurring way that I got it wrong was when we were told to have five sixths of a number, and I accidentally only put one sixth.

SRA

I need to improve on my SRA because I got three wrong and it took a while for me to get them right again. I think to do this I need to look at the questions carefully and choose my answer carefully as well. They all have ticks because I have them all right now, but I will put another sign next to the ones I got wrong.

What’s your story?

I don’t think it’s right to hunt for fun because it is silly just to randomly hurt an animal. It doesn’t benefit you, or the animal. ✓

Reflection Week 7 Term 1

This week I got a really good comment in maths from Mrs Taaffe, and I got them all right.

This week for my pole art group I'm really enjoying it because it's really fun and I enjoy painting. I want to thank Mrs B for supplying the expensive paint otherwise we wouldn't be as far through it as we are.

I think I did really well in my SRA because I got a star. I only just started this level, so it's good that I got them all right on the first one. I might breeze this level!

I think I might have to think more on my AWS because I got quite a few wrong. I have now decided that I will check through my answers before the deadline. 

Next week my goal is to concentrate really hard on my work because I get distracted really easily. I will practice this by sitting in the Quiet Zone most of the time.

Cloze

This week I feel proud about my Cloze because I got none wrong and this is the first time this year. Here is a picture:

I think that next week I will try to be a bit quicker at my Cloze because it takes a long time for me to do it, even though I do it well.

Thames Valley Swimming

On Wednesday I participated in Thames Valley Swimming Sports. Unfortunately I placed last in all my races, but at least I got in and was able to participate. I think that the Thames pool is too shallow to have proper swimming races in, and the diving blocks are a bit too high. I still enjoyed the day though - the water was SO warm!

Reflection Week 6

This week I think I need to improve on my AWS because I got heaps wrong. It's the highlighted ones are the ones I got wrong. Sorry, it's a bit hard to see.

I think I did better in my fractions work though because I only got one wrong out of nine.
I think I did well in my Cloze because I only got two wrong.

I also think I did well in my SRA and I think that I might be able to move up a level. Yay!

My Memory Block

This is my Memory Block. We had to choose a topic for our Memory Block, and I chose my holiday in Fiji. 

I chose the colour and font that I thought matched the words. 

I will explain what each word meant to my holiday underneath. 

Please leave comments and give me feedback!

Fiji

In the winter holidays in 2014 I went to Fiji for a week. The highest temperature was 31 degrees! We only had a sheet for blankets at night.

Coconuts

One day we drank coconut milk from the coconut. We bought them from the drink bar called the CocoHut. The coconut milk tastes really tangy and sour. My brother and sister hated theirs.

Hammock

There were hundreds of hammocks hung up between palm trees and I loved just lying there in the sun. It was a bit scary though - a coconut could fall on my head at any second! I also pushed Patrick so high on one that he fell on the ground. :)

Beach

The beach was so great! There were no waves, and you would be able to see massive snapper not far off the shore. The beach was at the bottom of a little hill so we ran down the hill straight into the water! It was great.

Sunshine

There was so much sun! It was 32 degrees everyday! The nights were hot too. All we had was a sheet to sleep under, and I am NOT complaining.

Kayaking

We went kayaking once and it was really cool. I was rowing, and I’m not good at steering. I hit an island.

Relax

It was really relaxing in Fiji. Hammocks rock!

Hauraki Plains Swimming Sports

This week I competed in the Hauraki Plains Swimming Sports. To get into Thames Valley you have to get a first or a second.
I got 1st in 2 lengths breaststroke, 2nd in 2 lengths freestyle, 3rd in 2 lengths backstroke, and 4th in three lengths breaststroke.
I'm in Thames Valley!
