Christmas Around The World

This week we are here to celebrate christmas and I am so excited. Today we read all about the christmas traditions from all around the world.

In France they leave their shoes out in front of the fire place so father christmas can put presents inside of them.

In Italy they eat very little on christmas day because this is a special day of prayer. Italians share their christmas gifts on the 6th of january witch I find very fasanating.

Dutch people celabrate St. Nichoals day on the 6th of december.

In Sweden Christmas eve is known as as  Julafton. This is a day to celabrete and make partys.

In Mexiconeach night from the 16th of december till christmas day the re-create the story of joseph and mary arriveing at bethlehem.

The Polish people call christmas eve the festavil of the stars. Often the don't eat until the first star apers in the night sky.

The Christmas Food

Today we are learning about the christmas food that we give to santa. Nomaly we give him food and cookies but in other lands they might get out plum pudding or Ginger bread cookies. It is all diffrent in there on specail ways. like in France they leave out a pudding called yulelog.

New Zealand's Sacred Mountains

Today for reading I am about to read New Zealand's sacred mountains and by the title I have found out some questions that I would like an answer to.

How many sacred mountains are their?

Where are the sacred mountains placed?

What are the names of the mountains?

I found out the sacred mountains are sleeping volcanoes that are waiting to erupt.

I also found out that the mountains were once gods and worries for the land.

The last thing that I have found out was only one volcano that was a woman.

We also read a book called The Battle Of The Mountains. I found out that these books are very similar because they are talking about the same story. The battler of the mountains was between the 6 brothers that had there love on the only woman mountain. They decited to have a battle for her love. she couldent stand it anymore so they split up and went there seprate ways.

The Big Friendly ... Monster

This week we have been learning how to elaborate on a picture. I thought that this was quite challenging because it was just a simple picture that we needed to write a WHOLE ENTIRE STORY with. I loved the challenge because I am a person who likes challenges.

The Big Friendly ... Monster

Trudging through the woods with big feet going BOOM, BOOM, BOOM until he reaches a little cottage. “Hahaha what do we have here” the monster said with a big evil grin on his face.

The monster found a cute, adorable kitten sleeping on a pink pillow with white polka dots. Then he grabbed the tiny marshmallow but the white fur ball went meow. The owner came in and saw the hideous monster and then saw the adorable kitten. He screamed and ran out of the house. Then monster said that he was going to have fun.

He took the kitten to his home and turned on the stove. The kitten nudged the monster and made the horrible beast smile. Right after he found out he pretended to be mean and horrible. He decided to go hunting instead from cooking the kitten. “1 more day. Then I will cook it”. He went hunting and found 2 deers, 3 chickens and 1 bear.

The next day he found himself hugging the kitten and screamed. The small white ball woke up and screamed “ MEEOOOW”. They started to become great friends but they both secretly wanted to be more.

The End

Her is the photo that we got given.

Fireworks Are Amazing

 

This week for maths we did an activity called fireworks. It is all about counting the money for fireworks and adding them up. Sometimes you get a certain amount of money and you have to pay for fireworks that are the exact amount you are given. I thought that this was challenging because we had to add up all of the fireworks and trust me when I say there was a lot. Aside from that I think that this activity was an amazing opportunity to find out what I am good at.

Doubling and Halving

Poem About The New School

I can see the world revolving around the school,
It looks very nice and very cool,
I can smell the great new land from here,
It is like I am already there,
I can hear the people screaming and sing and shouting with glee,

It sounds just like kids playing in the sea,

I can feel the glossy part on the whiteboard table,

I know that it is very stable,

My heart is pounding with the happiness inside,

I love the school as if it were alive.

Today was the 3rd day at our new school and my 2nd because I was away yesterday. We all got to write a poem about the new school. I think that it is amazing but that is just my opinion. I used rymzone to find the rimes. I have put a lot of thought into this poem. I love this school because it looks amazing. Just like I said in the poem. I am proud of my poem.

The Giant Complex Sentences

Today in writing we had to write 3 giant complex sentences about this photo. We got the photo of once upon a picture witch is a website that you go on to find a photo that you want to write about. I had fun doing this. The hardest part of this hole thing was to come up with a complex sentence. The easyest part was to separate the simple parts, verbs and the conjunctions. I had so much fun doing this. I think that when you have time you should try this webstite.

Simple	Red
Verbs	Orange
Conjunctions	Yellow

It was dark and creepy because it was a silent night. Giants came to eat the humans as if they were brussel sprouts. The children were sing take me to church until these giant vacuums came to swallow them. Everyone starded to get scared as if they we're a little sceard princess hiding to save herself.
