31 October, 2012 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! :O {Frightened face.}

Sorry for not being on for a long time, I've been busy with the wikispace challenge. Here's the link: gravity newton 4k.wikspaces.com It's VERY COOL, so make sure you check it out! {It's all about gravity and Sir Isaac Newton. Can you make __GRAVITY NEWTON THE TOP VISITED SITE IN THE WIKISPACE CHALLENGE?__ [By visiting and spreading the word out. Please, with gravity books and apples?]

OMG, it's almost NOVEMBER! My birthday's the 12th of November!

Anyway, this week is swimming week, so in between classes we go to a South Buona Vista swimming pool. Year 5 & 6 join us.

Oh cool, look, I can make a speech bubble like this: (} [It's sideways.]

15 October, 2012 Dear viewers, The topic for our wikispace is on Isaac Newton and gravity. If you viewers went on the site, I hope you enjoy it and please spread the word all around the world!

I'm shouting out for Lucy and Jahanvi, for being great buddies. Thanks Luce & Jahanvi!

Peace out, Alethea of the awesome.

11 October, 2012 Today at school, for Mandarin, we learnt that characters evolved from drawings that the ancient Chinese drew. They modernised & simplified it by taking away bits of lines and pieces in the character.

<span style="background-color: #43f9f9; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Mr K gave us an assignment called the Wikispace Challenge. <span style="background-color: #43f9f9; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">We got into groups of about 2-4 people and Mr K explained what you needed to do. You have to __CREATE A WIKISPACE__ and the wikispace link the groups have created will be assessed by <span style="background-color: #43f9f9; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Mr K, <span style="background-color: #43f9f9; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">along with some other teachers all over the world! The deadline is on the 23rd of November. Tomorrow we're going to choose our topic for the wikispace. Lucy, Jahanvi & I (The group I'm in) are planning to do outer space, but we aren't 100% sure.

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Because it was raining, the class had to stay in. Jahanvi, Lucy & I decided to learn the gangnam style dance moves with the dance teachers Lara & Tara but we needed music so Mr K allowed us. The next bit's funny, because a whole stream of Year 3 kids jumbled into the room for the music. I heard someone shout 'DISCO!!' and everyone started dancing to gangnam style! You could see teachers laughing and shaking their heads at us! We showed Mr K and a few teachers our dance to gangnam style and at the end Lara and Lucy became the bottom of a pyramid and Tara would stand on them. Jahanvi did the right-leg splits & I did the middle splits which I could almost do. My dress covered up the bit that's meant to touch the floor so it looked like I could do the splits. The teachers got a bad view as a congo line started and circled around us & the room. All that happened in 45 minutes and a classroom!

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ff0057; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">We had so much fun and danced like there was no tomorrow! I hope the teachers were entertained too! :)

13 September, 2012 Hey! Scroll down to read about my olympic presentation, I've updated it.

12 September, 2012 Hi!!! Lots of things happened today! We watched the ELC musical performance 'Call of the wild.' It was fantastic. Tomorrow the people wo are in my mandarin class are taking an oral test and on Friday we are having a test. I'm nervous.

Scroll down to read my olympic presentation! I've updated it.

11 September, 2012

I am quite interested in poetry, limericks. here are some limericks I made:

The Maid

The Maid once lost her shoe, Inside the palace loo. She soon began to worry, That if she didn't find her shoe in a hurry, She'd be boxed by a kangaroo!!!

Musical Dance

The music to dance to is hip hop. And the music to listen to is pop. B ut if you want to do tap dance, Or do a jig or a prance, Make sure your not seen by a cop!

Doggy

On a day that was foggy, The walk got canceled for poor doggy. Doggy soon got bored, And called upon the lord, To make the next day not rainy nor soggy!

The olympic assignment has ended. The assignment was fun, yet challenging. 4K had to think of a country that should host the 2020 olympic games and tell us why they chose the games. We did activities like 'design a mascot for the 2020 olympic games. I'll try to upload the picture of my mascot later. Oh, the country I chose is Canada, Ottawa. Why: because I find it a fascinating country and I think it's the perfect country to hold the 2020 olympic games. It's heritage and culture is phenomenal and Canada isn't to small of a country to host the 2020 olympic games. One of the activities were also make up a jingle or song that your city will sing in opening ceremony. Here are the lyrics to my song:

-UNITE-

In the open space we see them run, carrying the torch with pride. Never give up hopes, never give up dreams we all see the light!

Let us come together! Having fun forever, let us all unite.

Ooooh, the games are here, and we're all gonna cheer! Ooooh, the games are here, and we're all gonna cheer.

Let us all unite. Unite unite, unite, unite. Let us all unite, unite, unite, unite.

Let us come together! having fun forever, Let us all UNITE!

-MOTTO- Bringing together all the nations, regardless of race, language or religoin to participate with honour and pride and to show perseverance.

-OATH-

We promise to show great sportsmanship and to represent our countries with pride and honour. We shall persevere and do our best at all times during the length of the Olympics.

-MASCOT-

THANKS FOR READING!

I came 4th place out of 22nd!!

What a metaphor is: A simile without 'like' or 'as' (For example: He has a heart of stone.) it's describing a noun without the words 'like' or 'as' and saying the noun is something else not just LIKE another thing.

I will try to work on more examples tomorrow.

I can't believe I haven't been on all week! Sorry. Have you ever heard of a word called __ frivolous? __ It was 4K's wacky word of the week. Frivolous means carefree, have a think, are you frivolous?

Question of the week: What has 2 legs but can't walk? A kangaroo!

So far this week, I've learnt Captain James Cook had a cane called 'Cat o' nine tails' and used it to whip his crew for not eating their meals! How strict is he? 4K also did a bit of poetry this week, 4K had to write a poem about the class! This is my poem:

4K's way A is for Arthur, the artist of the 4K B is for BFFs, you get lots of them in 4K and C is for coolest teacher, thats Mr.K! I hope you've learnt 4K's way, I now present to you a cheerful BYE!, have a great day!

My mum got to the hospital at 4:00am. She was pushed on a wheelchair by my mums great friend, Mimi. Who unfortunetly was too elated by the news that she pushed my mum to quickly and zigged-zagged around the hospital. My black hair popped out, then my young, wrinkly face. 1,2,3"Aaah Waah Aah Waaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The doctors said my voice was rather loud. My mum was visited by many friends and family.

Paragraph 1- talking

I was about 2 when I started talking, this is probably my earliest memory. My mum was taking me out for a treat with her cousin A.Yana. We got to our destination by the MRT. On the MRT we went underground- heres the funny bit: "Ooh ooh" I said "Yes Ellie, it's dark" my mum said, thinking my mum meant the ducks that swim in the pond, I said BIG DUCK, QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!!!

Paragraph 2- a big change

When I lived in a HDB flat I went to a school called East Spring Primary school to be continued.....................................

For science this term, our topic is space. We got into groups of 3 then mind-mapped everything we knew about space. I learnt a lot about Earth and the different planets. A new thing I learnt was Earth used to have only one continent and it was called Gondwanaland.

Bye!

the assembly was pretty good. By accident Marcus hit the microphone against the table.

__11th March 2012__ For maths we learnt what polygon is. A polygon is a shape with 3 or more sides and angles. Then we did a page of maths about angles and polygons.

In mandarin class I learnt how to write "Singapore" in Chinese characters. There are three characters in "Singapore" so I found it rather difficult to remember. 4K is hosting an assembly on Week 8. We have yet to plan it. We are also playing the recorder for music in Week 8 and sometime in Term 1 we're having a Mandarin assembly. That is alot of assemblies! But I am looking forward to it!

I've created a voki & I hope you like it!!!!!! media type="custom" key="12566588" width="140" height="140"
