Snipet of my book

  Blinking. I never understood the purpose of blinking, but now I understand why people always got intrigued whenever someone was unconscious and woke up dreamily. What happens next? Is the question I ask myself when I blink my eyes, and see the face of a boy, draped in a white sheet of a nightgown. He had a halo of butterflies surrounding his silhouette. Grey and glittering gold they floated down around his pasty hair. It puzzled me how beautiful and mesmerizing he looked. Lost and scared. I felt sorry for such an obviously troubled soul, but he was gorgeous. Gorgeous and afraid, the butterflies zapped away into oblivion as  the darkness inhaled me with its huge jaws. I was in the corner of the deepest ocean. Unable to breath.  

It felt like decades before I was dragged back to the surface by the very darkness that was keeping me in, it taunted me as I struggled against the bungee that was taking me away. I had grown used to the darkness, but it was a voice that made me listen. A deafening scream. 

After hours and hours of condescending blackness I hear a female voice, soft and sarcastic, it was almost like her voice was two long hands, pulling me upwards to her. 

“Who is she… What did the label say her name was?... Annevita Rose Gallia…  Gees what a strange name… she's from the north side?... oh that makes sense…”

My eyes flickered open again and this time I didn't see the boy, just a whirring bright light shining into my open irises. Pity. 

I make a sound of disgust and discomfort at the light, 

3D geometry Shapes

 In maths today we got pieces of paper and made 3D shapes, it was really hard and it was difficult to work your head around but we all finished them and I made a chirstmas tree with the shapes I made. 

Maths Geometry Update

This Week in Maths we have been learning about geometry and tan-grams, we went on a site called mathigon.com and did the tan-gram maker game which we learnt how to rotate, flip and slide tangram pieces into their correct place. We had a different shapes and we had to fit them into a puzzle outline. Doing the tan-grams is all about rotating, flipping and mirroring. 

We also had to do heaps of long sheets about geometry with stuff like if I do a 1/2 turn clockwise what are you facing? and that was really helpful. 

We have been naming properties of shapes. For example, 

____________

l                       1    This square has four edges, 

l                       1    This square has 4 corners

l                       1     All of the corners are right angles

l                       1     It has 2 sets of parallel lines. 

l___________ 1     All the sides are the same length. 

and we have been doing things like that for multiple shapes. 

This triangle has 3 edges and 3 corners. 

all the lines are the same length. 

the internal angles add up to 180 degrees.

This rectangle has two sets of parallel lines

It has 4 sides and four corners

all the lines are straight

all the internal corners are right angles

opposite sides are different lengths.

Minecraft Mystery Box: Theme Park w/ Jeneva and Abe

On Monday, Jeneva, Abe and I did a Minecraft mystery box. the theme was theme park. Jeneva and I decided to first do a tea cup ride. we made the little carousel and wanted to start making the tea cups. (Abe wasn't at school for the first day we did it.) but we soon discovered making tea cups in Minecraft was harder then it looks. so we decided to do a normal merry go round with real horses, but that was also really difficult, so we finally settled on bumper cars. we laid some slime down and added the Minecarts. by this point Abe had arrived and I really wanted to make a popcorn stand. so Jeneva finished off the carousal and Abe did the big arch way entrance. and I built a seating area and a popcorn stand/cafeteria area. it was so much fun and I really want to do it again!

Also afterwards Abe wanted to add some sea turtles but I blew them up in lava covered TNT. my own invention. It was incredibly satisfying.
