Rewriting a text using a different language style

On Thursday, Mrs Golder requested the Banana's group to rewrite the second page into a narrative. We all cooperated and contributed towards our group work. Mrs Golder had to pick who would be the princess, the queen, the prince and the other characters. I noticed that it was good to cooperate because it shows Mrs Golder that we can work as a team.

This is our rewrite:

Princess Ofa commented, “These reactions are signs your body is getting ready to …”Queen Melelose added quickly, “either fight or run away from a situation.”Prince Raniera was listening in and advised, “This is how our ancestors often reacted a long time ago.”Kolotina, the butler exclaimed, “ That’s true, your Majesty, for example when they came face to face with a large woolly mammoth!” Mikayla, the servant walked in with a bucket of ice and agreed, “this can help you cool down from your fight or flight reaction.”Prince Raniera interrupted the conversation and explained, “Your blood carries your body’s extra heat into tiny vessels called capillaries.”While the maid was cleaning she overheard the conversation in the royal room and wanted to join in this academic discussion. She mumbled shyly, “Because blood is red and the capillaries in your face are very near the surface of your skin, this heat-release this heat makes your face appear red, too.” The royal family were in shock of her knowledge and intelligence and were absolutely speechless.

By Bananas: Kolotina, Ofa, Melelose, Raniera.

Our special visitor, Myron Simpson arrived and he was accompanied by two year eight students who were holding his equipment he was going to demonstrate to us.

PUFFING, PUFFING AND MORE PUFFING!!



Everyone crowded, pushing each other while trying to fit through our school gate. After all the pushing and bumping each other we finally made it through. During the time we were running we could feel the pressure and perspiration forming on our bodies. Everyone cheering while coming through to the finish line, we felt relieved. At the end of the day we were all proud of ourselves and others who tried their best.

Places:
Mikayla at 1st place
Ofa at 2nd place
Miria and Elizabeth (tie) 3rd place

Can you do this?


In week seven, Room 12 started learning about origami. One student in our class had to search for a video tutorial that taught us how to make an origami object that wasn't difficult for our class to make. Once we had done our task we were allowed to make any origami model of our choice. I chose to make a butterfly.

Our Amazing Assembly!!


Yesterday afternoon Room 12 hosted the senior syndicate assembly. For assembly we put on a talent quest to watch all the students and their unique talents. It was a battle between Rooms 9, 10 , 11 and 12. They showed off their wonderful talents singing and dancing. We ended off with Rooms 9 and 11 coming first, Room 10 coming second and Room 12 coming third. The Talent Quest was a blast and also the assembly.
