Descriptive writing

This week we were practising for the writing test that is coming up. So we practised describing a image. Here is the start of my writing practise.

I saw her and then she was gone, I heard whispering for me to follow, It only took me a few seconds to decide… My curiosity overrules the urge for me to run home be scared and retreat.

Tasting  fear I furiously try to predict the oncoming events. The girl is  walking down the corridor of bewildering trees that provide an arch way around the narrow stream. The pure smell of nature taking its course eases my anxiety somewhat.  I follow the mystery girl but soon lose sight of her as the mist filters through the trees blocking my view. I've lost her.

compare and contrast

This week we finished reading the boy in the striped pyjamas and we watched the movie. One activity was that we had to compare and contrast the book to the movie. Here are some of my Ideas.

Canta Maths

This week on Wednesday My maths team traveled over to Christchurch to compete in the 2018 cantamaths competition, because we came second in westamaths. 

We went over at 9.30 and when we arrived at Christchurch we went to the mall for an hour and a half. After we went to the mall we went to horncastle arena for the comp we looked around at the displays there and then we got ready for the comp and we were all crowed near the doors. When the compitioin started the time went realy fast.  

we ended up coming just above middle of the range. 

I really enjoyed the experience and I hop I go nest time.
