Poetry - Quatrain

 Quatrain

Harry is amazing

There's none like him

He is the best

 and hasn't injured a limb

Dogs are the best 

Cats are the pests

Dogs are cool

 and like to swim in a pool

Roses are red 

Violets are blue

I have a crossbow 

And can shoot you

Roses are red

Violets are blue 

My doggo 

Is cooler than you

This is my poem, This type of poem is called a quatrain. I enjoyed this because it was really fun.

Calendar art

 

This is my calendar art for 2022, I found making this very interesting as we learnt about the warm and cool colours. We had to draw a special place for us, my special place is down at a creek where our property ends (e.g the fence posts) I enjoyed using the pastels to blend them into each other so they look better. This is one of my favourite calendar arts we have done as it is something unique for each person's art ( mine is a creek someone's is a beach.) 

Poetry - Cleirhew

 There was a boy his name was Harry

He was often on the contrary

He was very cool 

He did not own a pool

Poem - Epitaph

Here lies Taj Cat

Who looked like a rat

His parents called the exterminators

He yelled and screamed and called them traitors

But his parents did not care and they feed him to a bear

Here lies Jari Jim

Who always fell in a bin

Instead of falling he tried to fly

Where Jari Jim met his demise

This week we have been learning about poetry. These are my epitaphs, And epitaph is a short poem four to six lines for a gravestone. I liked this because I could do lots of rhyming and was fun making up names. I found some of the rhyming words tricky to think of e.g exterminators.

Back to school

 

This is my worksheet for today, It is a form we have to fill out, to show how we feel about coming back to school and what we like about lockdown. I liked this because we got to talk about the lockdown, I enjoyed lockdown because when we were working there were fewer distractions that classmates can create. I enjoy school because we learn a variety of subjects about intriguing events and people. I will keep the lockdown label until we go back down to level 0.

Paralympics - Para sports

 Paralympics

There are currently 28 sports in the Paralympics. The Paralympic Games or the Paralympics is a series of international events for athletes with a range of disabilities. Of the 28 sports, the two newest sports are badminton and taekwondo. It occurs every 4 years and was created by Sir Ludwig Guttmann and took place in 1960 in Rome for the first time.

Para-Sports

The current twenty-eight Para sports are Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Boccia, Canoe sprint, Cycling road, Cycling track, Equestrian, Football five a side, Goalball, Judo, Powerlifting, Rowing, Shooting, Sitting Volleyball, Swimming, Table tennis, Taekwondo, Triathlon, Wheelchair basketball, Wheelchair Fencing, Wheelchair rugby, and Wheelchair tennis.

Taekwondo

Paralympic Taekwondo is an adaptation of Taekwondo for athletes that have disabilities. The Tokyo 2021 Paralympics are the first time Para-Taekwondo has been held. Matches are made up of two to three-minute rounds and take place indoors on an octagonal-shaped court.

Badminton

Para-Badminton is a variant of badminton for athletes with a range of disabilities. Like Badminton, Para-Badminton is played on a rectangular-shaped court separated by a net. The aim of para-badminton is to, using a racquet, pass the shuttle from one side of the net to the opposing team on the other side and attempt to force an error in the opposition, therefore winning a point.

Archery

Para-Archery was introduced in the first Paralympics in Rome, 1960. The archer will fire a series of arrows at the target (122 cm in diameter ). The standard distance away from the target is 70m. There are two types of bows in para archery: The Recurve bow and the Compound bow. The Recurve Bow has limbs that curve away from the archer to increase power. The Compound Bow has a levering system usually made of pulleys and cables to bend the limbs.

Goalball

Goalball is a game for people with sight loss. The aim of the game is to roll the ball over the opposition's goal line. The Ball has bells in it so players must rely on their hearing to stop the ball. During the match, spectators must stay silent as the athletes cannot have noise interference. It is played indoors on a rectangular court with two goals on the side. It was invented in 1946 and was introduced to the paralympic games in 1976.
