Weekly reflection!!

Am I on task?
I think that I am on task most of the time, the only thing that would put my of what I'm doing is listening to music. I am getting thing done, all I need to do is writing, maths and other things. I'm feeling proud with myself and of what I have achieved. The thing I need to focus on is my maths. I need to stop talking to my friends all the time last week I wasn't on task.
Am I managing my time well?
I think I am managing my time pretty good, I have done everything I have need to this week. I need to do my writing and I should've started it but I haven't. I have finished my kiwi kids news and I have been doing things ahead of time.
Is trello working for me?
I think that trello is a guide for me, it really helps me with what I need to do. I can look in the overdue tasks and do the things that I need to do. I don't really use my own list, which I need to do.

The smokey, misty air fulling the the back mysterious room. Nothing but blackness is to be seen, mice and rats scurry across the lino floor. The sound of laughter, music and beer bottles smashing to the ground. You run your hand along the cold walls to find the light, blinding light fills the empty space. Everything you touch is frozen solid, there is ice hanging from the shelf's of beer. You take deep breaths as you breathe in through your nose you smell something rotten, you lift your foot up to find dead rats.  



LO: We were asked to write a piece of writing that explained a setting, my setting was in the back room of a pub, we only got 5 minutes to do this.

Paperback writer! 

Aria slowly walks down the street, her long, silky black hair swaying behind her. Her blue eyes dart from people to people trying to find her best friend Mia. Her friend walks up to her with a confused and disgusted look on her face, Aria’s friend was dressed a girly dress but Aria wore her best sweatpants, her plan t-shirt and her nike sneakers. Mia loved her friend not because of what she wore, but because she was sweet, kind and she had a good taste of music (Jazz)!

Mysterious explosions in Colombia!

This Day In History 

By Emily & Mary

About this article

There were 20 trucks loaded with dynamite, these trucks stopped in Buenaventura. 13 of these trucks headed to Bogato, the other 7 were going to a different location so they were parked overnight. Just after midnight the 7 trucks blew up killing over 1,000 people and injuring thousands of people. It is still a mysterious today, no one knows why the trucks blew up. 

So What?

These trucks were fully loaded with dynamite and it is very dangerous, these trucks killed over 1,000 people and injuring many people as well. It just shows that trucks shouldn’t be carrying explosives everywhere because you don’t know when they might explode.

Weekly Revision

Most of the week I was sick so I didn't get much done, all I did when I was sick was my email to Ronald Mcdonald House for my personal inquiry. At school I did some of my writing but I think I should've done more of it. I completed some of my tasks that I was asked to. I think that I am getting into rhythm now. I also completed my Kiwi kids news. I am glad that I completed things I needed to today.
