First Post for 2017- Our YMS Hero Values

This week we have been revisiting our YMS Hero Values. Our Hero Values stand for:

                                                                                                                

Healthy Individuals

Enthusiastic Learners

Responsible Citizens

Open-Minded Explorers

We are required to follow and respect these values. We had to visit the new HERO site and find one or more values and reasons to make a drama and present it to the class. Laura and I found this difficult because we had no ideas. We found this really embarrassing to present. In the end we chose ¨Responsible Citizens-Pack your own lunch and try new things¨. I hope you enjoy our skit!

Raft Building And My Last Post For The Year

For my last post of the year I am going to post about our recent class trip. We hiked up the Bridle Path for about an hour and a half. After our hike we made down to Corsair Bay. At Corsair Bay we made rafts. We had a team competition to see who's team's raft could get out to the floating platform. It was very fun! Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves too!

I hope you enjoyed my post and here is a class picture of us before our hike ended.

Happy Holidays!

100WC Australian Crocodiles

This week for the 100WC the prompt was:

Wide,  Orange,  Crocodile,  Within,  Collapsed

With my 100WC I searched up some facts about Australian Crocodiles.  I learnt some interesting facts about how Australian Saltwater Crocodiles are by far the most dangerous animals in Australia.

Here is my 100WC for this week, feel free to comment.

I was travelling around Australia, reptiles crawling and haunting the rivers. I came across a gigantic crocodile, it’s wide mouth opened and collapsed when a school of fish swam past his long body. Within the distance between the crocodile and I, I could easily be attacked.

I ran as fast as I could. All the way back to my van. I was hot but nothing was going to stop me getting to safety.

I got that feeling that the crocodile was chasing after me. The sky was transitioning colours, as I turned what I saw was a beautiful orange sky.

The Fear Streaming Tears

Today we had a task of writing a new 100WC. 

This weeks prompt was: '…as the smoke cleared…'

Hope you enjoy my 100WC and feel free to leave a positive comment.

It was a warm summer's evening, I was slowly falling asleep on the couch. I was home alone. I woke up with a sudden fear. I could smell some sort of smoke coming through the kitchen window.

THE NEIGHBORS APARTMENT WAS ON FIRE!🔥

My brain was going crazy… What should I do?

It then came to me that I needed to get down low and get out of my apartment.

I grabbed some appliances and got out.

I called the fire department, and they got to the apartment buildings in about 5 minutes.

By then it was about 11:45 P.M.

As the smoke cleared I saw the firefighters bring out a 6 year old boy. I could see tears of fear streaming down his cheeks.

My Speech: Money should NOT have been invented!

For the past 5 weeks, we have been working on our speeches. We were given some topics to choose from or we could make up our own topics. Our speeches had to intrigue the audience, make sense and be presented with confidence. The topic I chose  was 'Money should NOT have been invented!'

Here is my video of me presenting my speech! Feel free to comment.
