The Great Fire Of London

 

Books!

 How many of you like books? Instead of being on your phone all day, grab a book. A book is the door to another world. There is no other way the get there, at least not yet. In books like Harry Potter, we are sucked into magical fantasy worlds. And in books that are similar in the setting to A Little Princess, we turn back time to the old days. 

For me, it's always a pleasure to be reading a nice book with no one interrupting me. Study shows that less than 20 percent of teenagers read books daily, and over 80 percent go onto social media every single day. Non-fiction books have a lot of information that is very helpful, whether it is about science, nature, sports, and much more. 

Books are more trustworthy, because a lot of information on social media are fake. The books are read and edited by publishers, which would mean that they have already corrected mistakes. Personely, my favourite book is A Little Princess. I hope that everyone has a favourite too! There are also many genres. Thrillers, Novel, Fiction, and so much more. Books are really a great big part of our life!

A golden rose

 Once apon a time, there lived a king. A king was not nice at all to his people. He was very rich, but that did not satisfy him. He yearned to be the ruler of the world, to have all the money. There was a witch, who heard of this greedy king. So she used her magic to turn into the kings friend, and one day, she said, “Your Majesty, If you were the ruler of the world, what would you do? If the world was in danger, people dying, would you use your money to help them?” With a wave of his hand, the king grunted. “Nah. It’s there own problem. Who Cares?” The witch was deeply angered, so, hiding her anger she said, “your majesty, I have heard of a golden rose that has been rumored to be in the forest. The rose is worth billions, if you have it, you can be the richest person in the world!”

Immediately the king sat bold upright in his throne. “What? Get me the carriage now!” He shouted rudely. So he the king was sent to the forest, with hundred of soldiers marching behind him. Once they arrived, the king said, “You! All of the soldiers! You are all to leave immedialty, who knows if you will try to steal My Precious golden rose?” The soldiers left. But one clever soldier hid behind a tree. He was indeed very clever, and he had sensed that the kings friend had something fishy about him. The kings friend was as greedy as .the king, and the soldier knew that the friend would have kept the rose to himself. The soldier also had never heard of a golden rose, and had suspicions that it might be fake or dangerous. The king meanwhile, jumped off the carriage, running towards the golden rose shouting, “I’ll be the richest in the world! I’ll be the richest in the world!”

The instant he landed his hand onto the golden rose, he jumped back. “What…?” The rose had electric shocked him! But he didn’t care. All he wanted was the money/ He reached out again, and this time he screamed in agony. Drops of green blood seeped out of his hand. In an instant, he fainted. The soldier, who had been watching the whole time, ran forward and carried the king back to the palace. Once there, he called the doctors and he raced to the kitchen. You see, he was very smart. He knew of this curse, he had dealt with witches before. He made a unique medicine, which saved the king’s life. After that incident, the king understood the mistakes he made before. So he upgraded his kingdom, gave money and food to the poor, and lived happy ever after.

Music

 At 9:05 on Thursday we went to the hall for music with Fran. We used pizzicato on the violins. We made a nice tune, using the bow. It hurt my ears a bit, when we were playing the E string. The sound was so high! When put our fingers on the top of the strings so that when we played it, it would make a different sound. Using the violins was a great experience, there was a lot of things we learned. 

Maths

The maths this term has been awesome. Despite Lockdown, we still did quite a lot. The first is Prototec. I did stage 8 and received 95%. After that I didn’t need to do it anymore. I went onto IXL, which is a maths website which has heaps of activities I could choose from.There was square roots, algorithm, factors, and much more! There was also Beat The Clock. It was a sheet of paper where there were some basic facts on it. We would time ourselves and see how long it took us to finish it. We persisted everyday, and gradually got shorter times, which meant that we were improving! Khan Academy was also really helpful this term. In it we did some coding. It would give us instructions on how to code, and we used the code to make pictures move, to create different shapes and colours. I enjoyed all of the maths in this term.
