Week 6 reflection

 This week I did a lot of thing such a swimming practice, learning such as maths, literacy, inquiry, and RE (Religious Education) ECT. Not only that today is a pool party and tomorrow is the semi finals for the swimming contestants which I am included in.

The things I enjoyed this week were chatting with my mate, swimming, and doing my work with my mates and seeing what happenened when we got a question wrong because it was hilrious to see them rage at the fact they got the question wrong.

Something I found challenging was swimming because although I made it in dosen't mean that I'm good at doing the strokes.

I have worked on my goals by watching videos at home to help expand my learning tremendously.

The Values of Mercy means to show mercy and integrity towards your friends and others. I have shown this by always helping my friends with anything their unsure of.

I am looking forward to learning and expand my knowledge even more and chilling and playing with my friends.

 

This is my word of the week. This weeks word was Estuary. An Estuary is a mouth of a river that leads/connects to the ocean.

Chapter Chat questions. The Hunger Games

This year our teacher is reading the Hunger Games book to us, the book is by Suzanne Colins. This book has won four awards, The Hal Clement award, California young reader: Young adult, Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award and the Fantasy & Science Fiction - Young Adult. Every now and then we will be doing a chapter chat which is reviewing the book and making sure that we understand and are caught up. We will show this by answering the questions that are about that chapters we read. We picked 4 questions and here are my answers to those questions.

Katniss and Peeta handle the shock of being selected for the Hunger Games in two very different ways. How does Katniss react and how does Peeta react?

Katniss was feeling frightened although not showing it.

Peeta was the bakers son and because Peeta was buff from lifting the breads and pastries he was still crying and he wasn't afaid to show it.

Are regular people allowed to travel from one District to another?

No. It is ilegal to travel through districts unless it is formal buisness.

Why are mockingjays comforting to Katniss? 

Because when she was younger Katniss and her dad would sing a lot and not only that, the birds were a type of species that could copy someones coversation and mimic it as well. So the bird would always comfort Katniss because the mockingjays would always copy here Dads songs.

Effie angers Katniss during dinner, so what does Katniss do to purposely annoy her? 

Effie Trinket was the lady taking Katniss to the games and Effie annoyed Katniss by telling her a story about 2 ill mannered people and Effie said they were disgusting, so to annoy Effie, Katniss showed bad table manners by wiping her dirty fingers on the table cloth and she also ate her food with her hands.
