Cinquain - Music

Yesterday I was given a task of writing a cinquain poem.

 I decided to write about Music because it is what I tend 

to usually listen to when I'm bored. While I was writing it 

I was struggling a bit trying to find expensive words but

 I believe I did a decent job. I really enjoyed creating this

 poem and I will definitely be looking forward to writing 

different styles of poetry.

My Flying car

WALT - Write a narrative story

SUCCESS CRITERIA:

I must have a “hook” to get my readers attention.

I must use show not tell so that readers can create a

picture in their mind.

"Roar" as the engined blasted with noise, I was so angry as I couldn't get my car to work so I kicked the car with all my anger and with a blink of an eye, a miracle happened, my car was working. At first I thought I was dreaming but very happy knowing I got it to work, so I got in the car and put my foot on the accelerator. Suddenly the car floated straight into the clouds. As it went up I screamed louder than a fire alarm siren and thousands of eyes blinked repeatedly as they couldn't believe a car was flying.

Soon my frightened screaming turned into a thrilled scream because I now know that I am the first person to fly in a car so I decided to enjoyed as this could be the best time in my life. Zooming through the sky, I could see thousands of paparazzi taking pictures of me and I knew I would be famous.

Going through the sky, I felt like superman and it was very easy to drive up in the air. It had been a smooth journey so far, but now the engine suddenly gave a cough and splutter. That could only mean one thing, I was going down but very lucky it just had enough energy to bring me to land gently.

As I was landing I ended up right in front of a gas station. I hopped off very quickly and filled up my car, hoping that I fly again. Unfortunately it did not happen again but it was a great adventure and I still wonder about how it happen.

Silhouette in the rainbow art.

We did this art today and it's called silhouette in the rainbow. First we had to take a picture of our side view and trace the outline of our face, then we painted the face black and let it dry. After that we drew lines and painted inside the spaces. This artwork was a great experience for me, in the future I would want to do more art like this.

Technique - I took 5 earbuds and dipped them into the paint then started drawing my tree. 

Colour -  I started mixing the colours to make the colours that I needed for my art. This was lots of fun.

Success - I like was able to mix the colours and got the colour that I want.

What I need to work on - I will need to be able to look at how I can paint a tree with branches, using the same technique.
