Cross Country

WALT: show not tell.

The day has come our school cross country. My body was quivering and my head heating up as if it was going to burst into flames. I breathe in and out trying to calm myself down.

I felt like I was going to melt as my legs were not powerful enough to hold myself up.

At the start line I am ready in my position to run. I feel like a panther ready to attack my prey and the others are too. “ Clap” and were off. We run and run as if our prey as gotten away. The other girls run like they are having a race to have each other's territory.

How our muscles work

You are probably thinking now how our muscles need to work, what makes them function. Your journey starts here. Read on for more about “How our MUSCLES work.”

The way our muscles work is that our Tendons are cords made of tough tissue, they work as special connector pieces between bone and muscle. The tendons are attached so well that when you contract one of your muscles, the tendon and bone move along with it. Skeletal muscles come in many different sizes and shapes to allow them to do many types of jobs.

Did you know you have more than 600 muscles in your body? They do everything from pumping blood throughout your body to helping you lift your heavy backpack. You control some of your muscles, while others like your heart do their jobs without you thinking about them at all.

The strong and prolonged contraction of a muscle during exercise causes sooner or later muscle fatigue. Fatigue increases while the glycogen stored in the muscles decreases. Muscle fatigue is something you get often when you exercise.

So that is how our muscles work and what it takes and needs to function. Click here to check out more information about how our muscles work

Write4Gold Poster

WALT: Identify and present facts of greater importance from a non fiction text

Last week's work was about a true story Write4Gold. It was about teams from around the world to compete in a Write4Gold competition. The main thing was to showcase their talent to everyone and to express what art/graffiti is all about. The judges wanted " Zero Tolerance." What I've learnt from this is to do teamwork, showcase your talent and to make right decisions when it come down to one person.

Inferring character traits

WALT: Infer the character traits of different characters

Using correct punctuation

WALT: punctuate sentences correctly.
This week we are learning on how to use our punctuation correctly in our writing. Punctuation are . ? " " ! or , that you use before closing off a speech. When using speech marks you have to have some sort of punctuation before closing it off. For an example- " Hey John I'm gonna go to the store to pick up some bread," said Bryan. " 10 minutes will do." So as you can see at the end of bread I put a comma beacsue John was still gonna talk. A full stop at the end of do is when he stops talking and walks away.

The Lost Statues of the Muntabs

WALT: think from the characters point of view.

Lost statues of the Muntabs

In a old camp site there was Anthony and Murray. Anthony and Murray were best friends but wanted to explore instead of sitting in one place 24/7. “Hey Anthony,” whispered Murray, “Do you want to go out on a trip.” Anthony’s heart was burned from his body, His eyes filled with tears and he rushed out as quick as a cheetah.

“What would I do to keep Anthony away from dangerous things in the swamp,” panicked Murray. “ Could I lure him in with something.” In search of Anthony he found a statue, but not a normal statue of people. “ Anthony,” shouted Murray “I found something.”Where abouts are you” ” I’m over here.” As it turned night, the shine of the moon came down like a light from heaven. The light shined down at the statue, while the full moon passes.

It was a lost statue of the ancient Muntabs. Muntabs were ancient warriors that were first born into the world. In the distance were more statues. Moonlight shines on water,statues and the beautiful shine of water as the crescent moon shines way up in the sky. As Anthony finally found Murray they started to discover things that have never been revealed before.

While they were digging for interesting artifacts they thought about handing them in to the university for museums.“We have only found 28 Muntabs statues let’s find more!” Exclaimed Anthony. “ It’s enough,” replied Murray. “We don’t need any more let’s leave some for others to discover.” So off they went with artifacts about the Muntabs and travelled away from the light of the moon.

They had got back from travelling in private property while they heard howls coming from each sides of them 1 howl, 2 howl and 3 howls. “Hey look we are finally back,” mumbled Murray. “ What a day of relic finding.” They made their way back in their tent.Falling asleep slowly another howl was heard in the distance. Anthony woke up. In a rush “Murray.” screamed Anthony as he was frightened by such noise outside.

“Ahhhhhhh,” shouted Murray with his heart pounding as if he was going to faint. “ You almost scared me to death, what's wrong.” Murray whispered angrily.

“There,there are Muntabs.” said Anthony shivering cold.

“There is no such thing as Muntabs alive,” replied Murray. “ Now go back to sleep.”

So as they went back to sleep Anthony felt better that there were no Muntabs.
