The ending of our volley ball season

Today for volley ball we played games and listened to music. Our instructor Antonio/AKA Toni put us into groups of four and five's. The goal for every team was to get the most point's. My team was group 4 Leetia, Amy, Kelly , and myself. We worked together having fun and encouraging each other. Unfortunately we didn't win but we were proud of each other and that's all that matters. At the end the winning team got their prise. My teacher told asked me to give a short but strong ending speech. I thanked Toni for everything she done. We ended strong leaving with a proud big smile.

Star Signs

Today we gathered up as a class and done an activity.  Our activity was to go around and find people's star sign to make a tally chart. It was very interesting finding out people's birthday, quite a surprise. After we finished we drew our tally chart's in our book. The most common star sign was Capricorn and the less common factors for the star signs was Pisces, Taurus , and Scorpio. We all learnt something new about each other.

Thursday's day of work

Today we gathered up as a class with our deputy head principle Miss Sadgrove. Everything was focused on Key words and word classes. Simile , Pronoun , Metaphor , and personification. After when our deputy head left, my teacher challenged us to write a paragraph using similes. She gave us a picture to look at and to visualise and write one paragraph. After we finished some people choose to read including me. The people who read got very good feedback and little improvements to help next time.

Volley ball

Today's lesson for volley ball was mainly focused on spiking my favourite part in the game of volley. We did do other subjects it wasn't as meagerly as spiking but I managed to pick up some new skills. Lesson after lesson our class get's better and better the way we work together makes us closer and we achieve new skills as a team. Our instructor Antonio taught us what side we should run on for people who are left handed or right handed. Next week has a challenge the await for us. I wonder if we could succeed and work well as a team.
