Can You Hear That?

For the past 2 weeks now, we have been working on the book Can you hear that? It tells us about sound, how it is produced, the characteristics of sound and how humans and animals hear sound. I found it interesting that some animals have a larger eardrum, making sound louder for them. I learnt that sound causes vibrations that create sound waves. These sound waves create sound. 

How is sound produced?

Around the World Reading - Poetry

Around the World - Poem, Today Feels Dreadful

My Ratings : 9

Author : Taylor Loslein

Summary : 

I think that the poem talks about how much the person's depression has taken over him/her. Its about how 'useless' this person think he/she is and how this person is sometimes forgotten. 

My Thoughts :

 Aside from how sad this poem is, I think that the metaphors that the author used as well as the words that they used really expanded the poem more. Meaning that the words really made the readers understand the poem more.

Volleyball

For the past few weeks Glenbrae School has been learning how to play volleyball taught by two wonderful coaches, Elena and Sam. Last week and the weeks before we learnt the moves digging, setting and serving. This week we learnt how to spike. First, you will need to step to the left, then to the right together with the other foot. This altogether will need to be at a fast paste and will need your arms to swing in order to have that momentum. After the foot work, you then will have the energy to bounce off your feet and hit the ball downwards. Everyone in our class did very well and learnt a lot. We are always looking forward for our next lesson. 

Swimming Lessons

For the past 5 weeks now, room 7 has been learning how to swim. We have mainly focused on freestyle and backstroke. Freestyle is swimming above the water with your head facing down. Along with your arms rotating pass your ears and thigh. Backstroke is the same except with your face facing upwards. I think we ll improved and are ready in case of an emergency. 

Perspective Art

For the past 2 weeks, room 7 has been working on Perspective Art. In perspective art, you use shadings and vanishing lines to really make it look realistic. I think that everyone's art was outstanding but here are two pieces that just stood out and caught my eye. 

  

Vodafone Warriors' Visit

Today, at Glenbrae school we had the opportunity to meet three amazing vodafone warrior players. Lewis, Kiano and Joe. Along with their visit, they taught us the importance of hydration, belonging and sleep. We played quizzes games and to top it all off, they gave us the amazing chance to receive awards such as bottles, bags, balls and wristbands. I mostly enjoyed playing the games because it got me energized and hyped up. There’re visit was very exciting and fun. Our school had so much fun and learned many many interesting facts.
