__** Descriptive Writing **__ **__ ﻿ __ We had to write a story using one of the twelve pictures of the mystery of Harris Burdick for motivation for our story. Mine is called **__A walk in the park__**.**

“Hey mum!” I said quite loudly. “Yes dear.” My mum replied from the kitchen. “Can I go for a walk out in the park?” I asked hoping she would say yes. “Yeah sure you can, just make sure you are home in time for dinner, and please take your jacket with you.” My mum replied with hesitation, maybe just focusing on cooking her food. “Okay thanks mum!” I yelled back to mum. “Oh and I will.” I quickly replied. So I went up the stairs and went into my room, got ready and took my jacket that was just lying on my bed. I ran down the stairs and quickly yelling out to my mum just before I got to the door “Bye mum, see you at dinner.” I was nearly out the door until I heard a big yell. “Bye Hun see you soon, keep safe and remember don’t talk to strangers, I love you!” It was mum. “Okay mum, love you too.” I quickly replied so I could go already. I went outside and quickly shut the door behind me that it made a big slam. I opened the door and yelled out “Sorry mum.” Then I gently shut the door closed behind me. So I was walking along the path until I saw my big brother Jake. “Where are you going Jaz?” Jake asked. “Um for a walk in the park?” I replied with hesitation. “Oh okay then, have fun.” Jake mumbled. “Yeah I will.” I replied with not knowing what to say.

Finally I continued my journey to get to the park. As I was walking I saw some really beautiful flowers. I asked the owners if I was able to take some. He replied with a “Sure you can dear.” “Thank you very much sir.” I replied with my lovely manners. “You’re very welcome.” He whispered back. So I took a couple of them. I didn’t want to take too much as I thought that it would be quite disrespectful so I took about three or five. As I was walking I didn’t know what to do with the flowers so I decided to give them to my mum as a gift for what she has done for me. “Yes.” I thought to myself. “That would be a great gift for mum.” I continued walking waiting to get to the park. “Hey Jasmine!” Called out someone from behind. “Are they calling me?” I thought to myself. “Jasmine! Hold up!” That person yelled out. I turned around once again and saw that it was Amanda running from behind. “Oh hey!” I answered back. “Hey what are you doing today?” Amanda questioned. She was really out of breath. I think it is from all the running she did trying to catch up with me. “Um, I'm just going to the park.” I explained. “Do you want to come with me?” I asked. “Sure, but I have to go home soon.” She stated. “Okay that’s fine.” I said, We continued walking; this has been a long walk just to get to the park. “Oh hey look at these flowers, aren’t they just beautiful?” I asked. “Um, er yeah they’re gorgeous...” Amanda lied. “They’re for my mum.” I told her. “Oh, that’ll be cool.” She assured. “Yeah won’t it just?” I said happily. We kept on walking and we have finally reached our destination... The Park! “Yay, we are finally here.” I indicated. This was one of those journeys that felt like forever. First trying to get out of the house, then Jake talking to me, then picking flowers, then Amanda calling and chasing after me, that was one heck of a journey. I take this track where there are lots of pretty flowers, so I decide to collect more flowers and add it to the ones I already have. Today is just such a beautiful day, the sun is out and shining, no clouds just clear blue skies, and picking beautiful flowers for my mum and being here with Amanda. “Hey, do you know what we should do first Jaz?” Amanda asked with excitement. “What should we do first Amanda?” I answered back. “We should totally go on the swings!” Amanda giggled. “That’s a good idea.” I said agreeing to her decision. So we ran to the swings and I tried to gently hold the flowers tight so they won’t get ruin or get away. I got the swings and checked if the flowers were okay, phew they were just fine so I put my flowers and jacket on the ground next to the swings. It was quite windy so I didn’t want the flowers to fly away so I put them under my jacket, hoping that it will stable it. We ran to the swings and one by one swaying higher and higher into the air we laughed and screamed but with joy and not fear. As we went high in the air, I leaned back and went down really fast. My head felt like it was going to touch the ground because I was leaning so far back. What an experience. I told Amanda to do it too; she agreed. She was screaming on the way down, I think it was excitement and fear at the same time. We both started laughing when she got back up. I didn’t feel like going on the swings anymore so I just swayed back and forth with my feet touching the ground. I was just watching Amanda enjoying her time. “Hey Amanda!” I yelled wondering if she heard. “Yes Jasmine.” She answered back with a big yell. “Do you want to do something else?” I asked her wondering what we should do. “Yeah sure, why not?” She answered. “Would you like to do anything in particular Amanda?” I asked. “Why don’t we finish off what we started?” Amanda exclaimed. “And what was that?” I asked wondering what she was on about. “The track we took before we ran here you silly!” She yelled. “Oh yeah, that’s a good idea.” I told her. Amanda went off the swings and I took my stuff and we went back onto the track. It was lovely seeing all the beautiful flowers and as I saw some really good ones, like multi-coloured petals I picked them adding some more to the ones I already have. We kept walking and talking and laughing. We had such a great time. “Hey Jaz, I sort of have to go home now...” She said in hesitation. “Oh that’s fine, well I guess I will see you sometime soon?” I said. “Yup, sure will, so bye.” Amanda said while she was slowly walking. “Bye!” I said wishing that she didn’t leave. She walked of leaving me to finish the track of by myself. I didn’t mind walking alone as I usually do walk in the park by myself.

She knew it was time to send them back. The caterpillars softly wiggled in her hand, spelling out “goodbye”. It was nearly time for dinner so I tried to walk as quickly as I can back home. I stopped at the plant where the caterpillars live on. I picked up one and I could tell we had a connection with each other. I started talking to the caterpillar like it was my friend. It was really time for me to start heading home and I could tell that the caterpillar needed rest because it looked like it was starting to go into its cocoon shell to soon be a butterfly. I said bye to the caterpillar and it said goodbye back to me. I put the caterpillar back on its leaf and let it carry on with its life. I started to walk home hoping that I will be back home in time for dinner. Mum doesn’t like me being home late, she gets quite angry and the first time I was home late will be my last. I ran back home because I knew I was going to be a little bit late. I opened the door and walked in. “Mum I’m home!” I yelled so she can hear me. “Okay, how was you walk Hun?” She asked. “Um it was good I guess” I answered. “Oh was it?” She asked wandering if it was a good or bad thing. “Well dinners ready now so come and sit down and eat.” She said. “Okay, thanks!” I replied. I went into my room and put my jacket away then I came running down the stairs hungry for some food. We had some butter chicken served with rice for dinner. It was really yummy. “Mum, the food was lovely, thank you.” I told her. “You’re very welcome dear.” She answered. I ran up the stairs, went into my room and write in my diary entry for the day. My diary entry went something like this... Today was really fun, I got a bit caught up this morning but I was fine, Jake sort of held me up. I went for a walk in the park and Amanda came running after me this morning too. She walked with me for quite a while in the park. We had such a great time together. I found a new friend; it was a caterpillar, how lovely is that? It was so cute, it even wiggled goodbye in my hand, how cool is that? I quickly ran home so I wouldn’t be late, I wasn’t, thank god for that. Mum made butter chicken for dinner; OMG it was so delicious! Now I am in my room doing this diary entry. I'm going to stop now, I am going to head to sleep, goodnight diary, see you tomorrow. Today was fun, one day I would like to see my caterpillar friend again, but I will be seeing it in a butterfly form, can’t wait!

The End

Me, Nicole and Aliza worked as a group and chose an activity out of many. We chose the one where you had to design a cake for a robot. Here is our end product.
 * __ Multiple Intelligence work __**

__** Book in a Bag **__

We had to choose between a book in a bag or a digital novel study for our reading work. I chose the book in a bag and I did my book on Jane Blonde, **__The sensational spylet__** by Jill Marshall.

media type="custom" key="6769271" __** Abstract Art **__

Today we went on www.bomomo.com to create an abstract art thing. We tried out lots of different tools and I attempted my name. It is called "Magical Slinky Milo".

__Digital Book__

 ** We did a range of poems and different ways to write a particular poem. We then had to publish it ** ** into our written language books with an illustration. Mr. Beehre then showed us a website called ** ** www.tikatok.com which is a digital book.

Mr. Beehre gave us a task to do a podcast explanation. First we had to go on weemee.com and create  an avatar that resembles us. Our avatar had to have at least 3 characteristics of ourselves. Then we had to  choose one question out of four. I chose... How does the lung work? After we chose a question, we had to <span style="color: #ef154b; font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 22px; line-height: normal; white-space: pre;"> research and get information on our question. After we have got all our information, we had to write an <span style="color: #ef154b; font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 22px; line-height: normal; white-space: pre;"> explanation in our own words. After Mr. Beehre had checked to see if our explanation was okay, we went and <span style="color: #ef154b; font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 22px; line-height: normal; white-space: pre;"> did a podcast using garage band. After that, we went on imovie and put our picture of the avatar and our podcast <span style="color: #ef154b; font-family: 'Segoe UI'; font-size: 22px; line-height: normal; white-space: pre;"> together, finally we have finished our podcast explanation. Here is mine, I hope you enjoy it. =]

Our class signed up for a glogster account and we got funny usernames with funny passwords. After we got into our account we changed our passwords into something that we can easily remember. Wethen had to choose had to choose 1 climate out of 4. I chose the Polar Zone. We had to follow a worksheet and we had to answer the questions. After we had answered our questions, we would make a "glogster" which is a digital poster. There were many options to choose from to make our poster and it was really hard to decide which we wanted to use. Finally when we had finished our glog we had toembed it tour wiki page, write a description on what we had to do and then do an asssement on it.

<span style="color: #f1b941; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 19px; white-space: normal;"> __ALJ Keynote Presentation__

<span style="color: #ef154b; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16.9px; line-height: 19px; white-space: normal;">Mr. Beehre gave us a task to choose a topic that is relevant to technology. We had to do a brainstorm on the topic we choose and had to choose one particular area from that topic for e.g. Transportation and cars. Then we had to answer 6 question, 3 that Mr. Beehre gave us and 3 that we made with out partners. We also had to find a video that was relevant to our subject.



Slice of Life Recount


 * Mr. Beehre gave us a task to write a recount on an adventure or something we have done. We had to include some onomatopoeia, metaphor, action verbs and etc. We had to write a recount that was atleast 300 words. Here is mine. **


 * The Tower Of Death **


 * One by one as each heroic person went to go and face their fears, it was getting closer to my turn. **


 * "Oh no!" I squealed as quietly as I could. **


 * It was my turn to face the tower of doom. Luckily, I was not going alone, I went with with my brother Tam and my two cousins Maggie and Cambinh. I sauntered to the fear fall. I tried to sit down as gradually as I could. I think my brother was too. I was frightened like a little baby, but I had to face my fear. I guess that's why they call it the "fear fall". We buckled in. **


 * "It's to late to get off now." Maggie laughed. **


 * "Oh man now it is really too late to get off now" I mumbled. **


 * We were starting to go up, up and away. As we were on our way to the top I was starting to shake. Me and my brother was scared as hell. He is older than me and I was really surprised. We were now at the top. All the cars looked liked tiny match-box cars. Me and my brother was gasping and mumbling out the words "Oh no." or "OMG.". We didn't want to talk **
 * anymore as the fear fall was going to drop any moment. The fear fall started to zoom down. My eyes was solid as statue, I couldn't open them, they were shut as tightly as possible. I could taste the wind going into my mouth as it was drying it too. It felt like I was dying for ten seconds. It also felt like I jumped of a plane without a parachute on. The fear fall went so fast down, it felt like my voice box broke. I couldn't get a sound out, not even a scream. I think my ears were blocked too. All I could hear was the wing laughing at me. SCREECH! As we were coming down slowly to the end. The tower took two seconds even though it felt like ten. I am finally finished. I cant' believe I have just conquered the fear fall. **


 * __Letter Writing Postcard__**

Mr. Beehre gave us a task to write a postcard from a city in a country that we chose. We also had to choose 3 tourist attractions in that city and we went on google earth to look at the place and describe the weather. I chose London, England. My 3 tourist attractions were the London Tower, London Eye and The Buckingham Palace.
