Isla's 100 Word Challenge Reflection

Isla's 100 Word Challenge

I was watching 'The Wizard of Oz' and I was just up to the part of the tornado.The violent storm was crashing down everything in sight!Next I heard a rumble and I realised that 'The Wizard of Oz' was only a dream.So the rumbles were real!As I looked out the window I could see struggling trees being blown about like natural flags.And controlling it all was a whirl wind of terror.Suddenly,it was all very dark.The power had died.As the night went on there were continuous roars of despair,hate and anger.

On The Eiffel Tower

I was standing in huge awe at the top of Paris' famous landmark,the Eiffel Tower.
Clutching my purse, I placed two euros into a telescope.I could see so many places!
I could see ... Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, The Louvre and the Tuileries Gardens.
Just then, someone smashed into me rudely, causing the telescope to flop down to show the gravelly
ground.As I looked down I was surprised to see a large commotion at the foot of the tower.
I could faintly hear the word 'Euros, euros!'.Then I realised I had dropped my money. Ooh lala!

The Biggest Eagle In The World

What-to make a conclusion or an assumption.
So What-I learnt how to use a T Chart . I firstly wrote down a inference, then I'd write because..... (from the evidence from the text).
Now What-I think I should write down more ideas and only have to read the book once.

Here are a couple of my thoughts.......

-I think that the Haast's Eagle was the biggest eagle in the world because .... It weighed 13 kilograms , a wingspan of 2 metres and powerfully muscled legs and feet.

-I think the Moa was the biggest flightless bird in the world because ......... It weighed almost 200 kilograms.And the Maoris wanted it for its large amount of meat,bones and feathers.

A picture of a Deer

WALT-Sketch an animal.

So What-I learnt how to draw a Deer properly and we had to show where the light was coming from in our shading , the shading was done on the opposite side of where the light was coming from.

Room 11's learning plan

The Senses of the Sea

In Room 11 we are learning to : Use our senses (hearing,smell,touch,taste and sight.)to describe
our thoughts,experiences and feelings.
So What : I've learnt that you have to use lots of interesting describing words so that the person reading it feel like they are in the story.
Now What:I think I need to describe more about what the rocks and seagulls are like (in I hear and I see.)
Here is my story describing my day at the beach:

I see monstrous waves clashing onto the hot silky sand as if the sand was in trouble with the waves and
I can see seagulls searching for fish around the wet and slippery rocks.I hear furious waves smashing on
the sand and seagulls screeching numerous amounts of times.I smell the salty fragrant perfume of the sea with a whiff of fish making a perfect smell for the ocean.I feel the calm salty mist spraying against
my cheek as the waves clash on the beach like a thunderstorm.I feel soaked and excited!!!!!
