Blog Post

My blog post today is on competitive girls basketball. On our team there is: Sidney, Veronica, Georgette, Augustina, Ashley, Kiran, Jaira, Alycia and I. This year so far we have had 4 games and won them all, we also have a game tonight here against Christ The King. This year we have versed Balmoral Hall twice, Linden Christian and Holy Ghost. Our team is currently first place amongst all the teams we versed. Our last game was at Linden Christian and it was probably the hardest because before they versed St.Maurice they were number one, but after when we versed them we won with a score of about 32-44. This year is my first year playing basketball and I will do it next year again too. Thank you for listening to my blog post!

                               Math

The blog post that I am going to do is about math. In math we are learning all about circles! We are learning to calculate and do the diameter of a circle, the circumference of a circle, and the radius of a circle. We are also learning about the area of a circle. The formula for the area of a circle.

R=4cm

 

 A= 50.27

This example shows that pi multiplied by the radius squared is the area. What radius squared means is that in this example it would mean 4 multiplies by itself. So, 4*4 = 16cm.

You can find the circumference by . The formula for finding the circumference but you know the radius is An example is:

r = 4.2

c =

c = 26.4cm

You can find the diameter of a circle by knowing the circumference . The formula would be pi multiplied by the diameter.

 Example:

D = 3cm

C=

C =

C = 9.4 cm

Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed my blog post on math.

Lit Circles

The blog post that I am going to present today is what my group is reading in Lit circles. The book is 262 pages long and it’s called the Penderwicks.

 So far, this book was about a man named Mr. Martin Penderwick, a professor with his 4 daughters Rosalind, Skye, Jane, and Batty. Their mother died from cancer 2 weeks after Batty was born. Rosalind was 12 years old. Skye was 11 years old. Jane was 10 years old and Batty was 4 years of age. They owned a dog named Hound.

 The book started off with Mr. Penderwick, his four daughters, and Hound heading to Cape Cod to a mansion called Arundel with a guest cottage owned by Mrs. Tifton. They were going there for summer vacation.

 In the middle of the trip, their dad lost the map. They asked an old tomato man for directions. When they arrived it was more than they expected. They didn’t know it was a mansion, so they were very surprised. There was also a beautiful garden. In the garden, a boy named Cagney, the gardener of Arundel worked there.

The next day, Skye sneaked into the garden because she wanted to explore. She had to sneak in because she was a stranger to the new place. She talked to Cagney until Mrs. Tifton came out and Cagney helped her hide by telling her to hide behind a bush. She overheard her talking to Cagney about a garden contest. After Mrs. Tifton was gone, she bumped into a boy with straight brown hair and freckles on his face. She thought that he was an ordinary boy, and said that they need to escape from the snooty Mrs. Tifton. She finds out that he was Mrs. Tifton’s son and she was very scared.

 She felt bad, so she discussed it with her sisters Jane and Rosalind. They decided that Jane would help Skye apologize and they would make an apology party for Jeffery. The following day, the apology was accepted and he was able to come to the party. Just before the party, Rosalind and Skye argued about the cookies Skye accidentally broiled them. Skye said that Jeffery’s mom was snooty again. At the same time, Jane came in with Jeffery. Their dad also came out of the room.

Social Studies

   
                              Social Studies

           Today, the topic I chose to write about is Social Studies.  In Social Studies, we have created our own political platforms and made a party, a candidate, and three issues which we support.  The parties each group created were, Six Guys, Zebras, P.O.P, The Care Bear Party, and MTBG.  Each party made a speech and presented it in front of the class.  I thought all of the speeches were well thought out and had good ideas.  Once everyone had presented, we had to vote and cast a ballot.  We casted the ballots in alphabetical order.  We still have to count the votes, I hope you enjoyed my presentation about what we are doing in Social Studies.

Hi, good morning/afternoon. Today my blog post is about art. In art we just finished our Valentine’s Day card. Mr. Cotter said that we are now moving on to origami. I’m really excited to begin origami because it is a really fun thing to do! I started doing origami in grade 3, I used to only do it when I got bored. But now whenever I have a piece of paper in my hand, I automatically start folding or playing with it until I figure out what I want to make with the piece of paper. All you need for origami is a piece or pieces of paper. Origami is basically just folding paper until you make something really cool out of it. And here is an example of origami I made. Thanks and this is the end of my presentation.
