Isaac Newton

Lately in Room 6, we have been learning about a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton.  For the past couple of weeks we have been doing science experiments related to him. We also did lot's of research about him in groups. While doing this work around Isaac newton we all learnt what a fair test is, a fair test is an experiment where you do something in the same position and place and don't change anything. Our goal was to create a slideshow about Issac Newton's laws and explain how a rocket can work in space. Sadly I didn't explain how a rocket can work in space yet.

I did some research on Isaac Newton and watched some videos about the different laws of his such as inertia, acceleration, and force and gravity. Before doing this I didn't know anything about the Isaac Newton's laws of motion, but learnt lot's through research and videos.  

What I did well : Added lot's of information about his laws of motion

What I found challenging : Finishing it on time and understanding the scientific language

Next steps : Adding more information about Issac Newton's life

WALT… 
Use paragraphs to link similar ideas together
write in structured, well developed paragraphs that flow well from one to the next within the text
use linking words and phrases to link paragraphs for effect

We had to describe a picture of a man in a dark wood cabin, everyone in room 6 did this writing and we all came up with a different backstory and perspective. Before we started writing, we did some reading about paragraph writing which guided us while we were brainstorming the five scenes. Also while I was writing I tried to use some interesting vocabulary, I used a site called wordhippo.

When I was writing this descriptive text it was hard to come up with a link between the paragraphs so it flows, but in the end I managed to come up with a story line that can flow well between the text. But overall I wrote as the point of view of me watching the man/telling the story and in third person.

Next Steps : Making my sentence structure better and using a bigger variety of sentence types.

What I enjoyed: Getting to express my way of thinking for this picture.
What I found challenging: Finishing my paragraph writing on time.

Darkness

He hides in a dark abandoned wood cabin with only one room, while he lays uncomfortably in the dirty corner. As the man aches in pain, his fragile bones slowly move to change his position. The man’s blood sweat and tears all drip down, as his lonely thoughts keep him awake. The midnight darkness starts to howl, while a strong gust of wind thrashes towards the window from outside. While the rain starts to leak from the moldy window, he listens to the forest storms. The sound of a car passing gives him a sense of anxiety; assuming that it someone coming to find him.

He staggers over to the window to see a foggy bright vibrant yellow light in the darkness, then the yellow light turns off. He then ducks down from the window; so nobody will see him. his heart starts pounding heavily. Within seconds a tremendous hard-knock bang on the door. He avoids answering the door; but hides in fear. Another hard knock appears across the door then the door burst open, a tall tough man comes inside the dark wooden cabin, he stays hiding in the corner. The tall man shadows over the weak skinny man, he whispers “please I’m innocent it wasn’t me” the tall man replies with “that’s just the way the world works” he drags the weak man out of the cabin and they drive off nowhere to be seen.
