It will be hosted in the sports and performance center at Moonee Ponds Primary School commencing at six o’clock and conclude at seven o’clock . The purpose of the event is to show the student’s work on the topic of destination moon, also to inform everyone about the moon landing. You are welcome to bring a camera or phone to photograph the children’s work and an inquisitive mind. The night will include presentations of work done by the students in foundation to year six and include topics like the Apollo 11, going to or being on the moon and space debris.

Hi Emily,

I really enjoyed your 100 word challenge this week I especially liked the part where you said “at least that’s what they told me.” Implying that, that was not what really happened. Maybe next time you could describe how your character was feeling in this situation. Other than that it was awesome it was very well described and enjoyable to read. Keep up the good work.

Hi Sophie,

You’re 100 word challenge was very well written. I like how you described what you’re character when they saw the hat on the table. Maybe next time you could have told the reader why she had been dreading this day. Other than that it was an amazing piece of writing awesome cliff-hanger at the end. Keep up the good work.

Hi Bella,

You’re 100 word challenge this week was very enjoyable to read. You described both the hat and the setting well. Maybe next time you could use adverbs in your story to describe how your character was doing something. Other than that it was an amazing 100 word challenge and very intriguing. Keep up the good work.

Hi Lucinda,

You’re 100 word challenge was written very well. I like how your character asked questions in the story. Maybe next time you could start your story with a hook like describing words talking or sound effects. Other than that it was a wonderful story I really liked the sentence” I had a feeling that was hassling me inside to take the hat for myself.” Keep up the good work.

Amelia

The wind blew and I looked out my window to close it and I noticed the paint work that needed doing. I went out and lent the  ladder up against the brick crumbling wall I begun stepping up and then suddenly I fell back on to the pavement my body screamed with pain. My eyes watered as I slowly got up and walked to get help I felt as if I was sinking as I continued to walk I trembled and stumbled  as my gold coins fell out of my pocket the wind blew my red hair into my face.

School Captain Speech

ameliag2016

Hello 5/6’s,

My name is Amelia I have been going to Moonee Ponds Primary School since prep. I have done many enjoyable and memorial things while I have been at this school.  I have been in S.R.C in years 2, 3 and 5 and green team in year 4 and have participated in tournament of minds last year. I also have been playing flute for nearly 3 years. Outside of school I play netball in a team twice a week as well as ballet and squad swimming. One of my favourite things which I am quite passionate about is Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts harry potter has taught me many things and values and lesson which I now use in my everyday life. And I would like to be your 2019 school captain.

As part of school captain you have to be an organised person which I think is in my 2nd nature. I try my best to complete and finish things on time while still being neat and not rushing what I am doing. During my time as a year 5/6 this year I have tried my best to be as organised as I can I have completed more than I ever thought I am always on time both at the start of the day and after recess and lunch complete all of my homework on time as well as doing extra optional homework I do this to the best of my abilities. Being school captain would mean I am organised getting to meetings on time and handing on things as well as working and handing when it was the right time if I was school captain this would mean it would help you to run more smoothly because I have done what I need to do.

While I have been in 5/6 I have improved my communication skills to different ages not only though class masters to improve my public speaking but also though S.R.C and buddies I have been able to talk to kids both older and younger than me and be a role model to them. This has helped me both in and out of school I have been able to communicate better with my buddy which has led her to become more confident around me communication can not only be used in this sense but also being a good listener as well as being clear and not over complicating things as well as respecting for them. Witch it think that I have gradually become better at. This has also lead me to become a better public speaker, I am naturally not a very loud person but though the course of this year and last year my public speaking has improved for the best I am still not the best public speaker but though things like performing music, and lines I am now less shaky and more confident when talking and acting around large groups of people.

I feel as I am an open minded person and am open to stepping out of my comfort zone and being optimistic about them and being open to try and do and listen to new ideas. I have done this though many ways throughout my years at this school as well as I have read many books and tried many sports and I will never say no to trying or doing anything again, as I have been open to doing many things. When being school captain you have to listen to everyone’s ideas even If you don’t personally agree with them yourself. You also have to listen and consider others idea’s sometimes even over your own but you may not always get your way every time this will help you known to others by being open and fair.

School captain would open up a lot of new opportunities for me it would help me enforce the school values Respect optimism care and collaboration  to all students as well as opening up new learning experiences for me to improve further on my public speaking skills so I can be the best that I can. School captain would allow me to improve on many skills I already have as well as helping and communicating to others. If I was your school captain you would have more input in what I do and this would help you to be more positive about our school therefore improving what I can based on what you want.  And that is why I would like to be you’re 2019 school captain. And I would really value and love to represent you as school captain next year.

Thankyou,

Amelia.

22.5.2018

Today I took part in the district cross country and came 38th out of 49 girls participating in the 3 km run. I am very proud of myself and the achievements I’ve had from this year to last year. I’m also very happy about my efforts since the track had steep hills and sharp turns, and also because I wasn’t going to go in the first place. Also because i was racing against year sixes. i’m just very proud of the effort since I don’t train and i’m ecstatic for just finishing and giving it a go!

Finally my pictures would come, mum and I were at the shops waiting for my pictures to print. When they were done mum handed me the envelope witch had all of my pictures in it. I tore it open and picked out a particular photo, it was a picture of our new puppy with my sister. It slipped out of my hand so I ran to pick it up I looked at it, then it suddenly went dark. “Mum come” I called “my pictures gone black,” she looked at it. “You’re just holding it the wrong way” she called back.
