Survivor Island

18 of September 2017 Drummond Primary School Year 4-8 kids

had to make a team and create a teepee to stay on an’ island’

for a couple of hours. We needed a range of stuff to help us survive . The criteria was to make a fire for an injured person and cook food to not die of starvation.We also had to trade in tokens for things we needed e.g plasters matches and so on. Another thing we had to do was carry our injured man  to safety from up and down and back on the back field.  We created a stretcher using natural materials in order to do this.

Throughout the day I learnt to be a team member and find materials. I enjoyed the hurricane / tsunami a challenge it showed me that if that's just one bucket of water, imagine cyclone Irma victims with piles and piles of water .

My team was a handful  but an outgoing bunch throughout the time we were there.

Can you guess

This week we had to write a story on someone we knew but not anyone who lives with us the succes critera was to write about there face, skin, hair, action and there talking I hope you enjoy my story and try guess who it is

She has wrinkled, dried up skin with a slight tan and does a range of voluntary work at starship ward B. The wrinkles don't show she's 80 at all. Her wrinkled face shows she's aging every day of her life.

Her thick black and grey hair is really thick. Although her hair is mostly black there are some traces of white throughout her hair. As she walks her hair shines in the sunlight through the hospital windows at starship. her

Her red lips highlight her face and sit neatly under her blue eyes and lovely smile.  Her small glasses  glimmer in sunshine.  Her white shiny teeth show she brushes. Her scruffy eyebrows darken her face. Her ears pick up any sound  

Her high pitched voice is noticed anywhere in the starship hospital. She engages you to into what  she's saying or doing.Her funny sense of humour is noticed threw out starship ward B. her interesting talks brighten up darkest of dull days at starship hospital.

Her way of moving is unique slow but unique because of her wadle she does sometimes to get from A to B. Her laugh makes you really happy in dull days . Her amazing way to talk to heart families like us is so special when you go there tough times like this it's good to know you  have someone like her by your side to get you thru the horrible days.

I am learning to write a piece of prose-  a sketch with detailed words, about a particular place, that is very important to me

I know I have achieved this when I can describe this sketch of the place,in specific detail. To do this I need to:

• Use specific nouns
• Activate the nouns with strong verbs

It's the little things in life ...

A cricket pitch

Morres Reserve Cricket

Many wickets collapsing in the top order as a hot Summer's day drifts on.

Bales tumbling while wickets falling in the fired up game

Batters decimating the run rate and total score they created a good total

Fielders absolutely amaze the crowd with their outstanding boundary savers  and efforts.

Bowlers eliminating everything in their path to get the much needed win.

Creased lines smudging  as the batters and bowlers get more anticipated for the win.

Supporters supporting on the  sideline their fellow teams and great efforts by others.

Vehicle owners moving their cars away  after hearing the upcoming bet on who can hit the furtherest..

My chosen place - the cricket pitch

My Memior Poem

I am learning to write a memoir poem. (This recalls a moment in time from my past that links to an emotion I felt at that time) The emotion I have chosen to link my memoir to is….

In my memoir I describe the scene and situation using strong adjective, nouns and verbs.

I hope you enjoy it.

The cricket game was exciting enough

Numerous Kids worrying

A tribe of irritating Townies complaining [as usual ]

The hardened pitch moisturized by the speed of the ball

a lot of tension from both Clubs at boiling point

Ignorant Supporters lying [Boys High]

Bored Umpires arrogance- rising

We did what any good team would do

We rose to the challenge- and won

Amazed, elated, wondering

Can we do it next time ?

Doing something important.
