The Black Piranha

The Black Piranha

WALT: write a descriptive paragraph.

My father (Carlos Fitarez) has many interests in different animals, mammals, etc. It started when he was a little boy. He read a lot of books about animals which motivated him to find other facts about these species. During one of his, so called, journeys, a friend of his was telling my father about a different kind of fish he’d never heard of before. Carlos did his research before he left for adventure.

         

Carlos was floating through one of South America’s rivers as he was told that this is where the black piranhas were located. He grabbed out his fishing rod and put his bait on the hook and waited for a black piranha to eat the bait.

        Finally he caught one. As soon as it was in his hands, he grabbed his camera and described nearly everything about the black piranha;

The Black Piranha is a very distinctive species. They have burning red eyes with a stocky body. They’re very dark in colour and have a superb set of gnashes. Almost bulldog like in appearance. It isn’t a long type of fish. It is maneuverable which means it move incredibly quickly. It does not hunt in packs as traditionally believed, they actually hunt on their own.  Because they’re fast and have one of the sharpest teeth on earth, it makes it easy for them to hunt. Piranhas have tatty tails and fins because their cannibalistic. They are not afraid to eat their own kind. They would take big chunks out of the piranha, leaving the fish alive.

As soon as he finished recording it, he let the piranha go and then uploaded the video to youtube and got over 500k views in a week.

Hand Art Design

This is my hand art design. First I had to trace both of my hands and then add my own designs on it. Once I finished, I asked Mr. Beel for the paint and I began Painting. This was my finishing result.

In this game, I had to answer a series of questions. Some of them were hard so I asked help from Mr Ralph. I enjoyed playing this game.

Prototec Basic Facts

In the fractions and percentages box, it is shown that i only got one wrong. Before i clicked the “Mark” button, I double checked and I was 100% sure that I would get all correct but when I clicked it, I got 1 wrong.  I think this means that I need to work on my fractions and percentages. I had fun with me basic facts. Here's a link to the website I did my basic facts on.

Hokey with Lydia

At 9:30 Tuesday morning, we went on the court  to learn some hockey skills. Our coach was Lydia. While we were playing, she gave us some advice. She said:

1. To always keep the stick below our knees. She made sure we weren't swinging the sticks so we don't hit anyone.

2. We put our left hand on the top of the stick and our right hand on the coloured part of the stick. We use the flat surface to hit the ball and not the rounded area. 

It was fun learning how to play hockey with Lydia.

My Role Models

WALT: Write a topic sentence and related facts.

Role Models

A role model is someone you aspire to or are interested in what they do. They would be the person I would like to be. In other words, a role model is a person who inspires me to follow my dreams and set good goals for my future.

The person I look up to in my family is my dad. Although we’re not a rich family, I enjoy good  food, clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. My dad is committed to hard work and enjoys providing for our family. He works five days a week and spends time with us during the weekends. He’s a fun loving dad, who would help anyone, provided he can do so safely.

Another role model would be Yazmin because she is intelligent, kind, she is always on task and is devoted to hardwork. She has a few talents like drawing, being a team player and helping me out when I ask for help. She behaves well in class and is easy to start a conversation with.

My role model in the community is Manu Bennett. He is a famous NZ actor who I look up to because I enjoyed watching “The Arrow” in which he stars in and I’ve always dreamt of being an actress since I was a little girl. Manu Bennett acts as a villain on the TV series and his acting skills made the programme very exciting.

I believe I have chosen a group of strong willed people as my role models and would like to think that I will one day meet Manu Bennett.

Artwork

This artwork was inspired by Wassily Kandinsky and the art style is expressionism, abstract. I enjoyed creating this piece of art because it's the first one that I've completed. 

Equivalent Fractions

This is my studyladder results. In this set task, I revisited Equivalent Fractions. I got 100% because I already knew my equivalent fractions. An equivalent fraction is like 6/12 and 5/10. They both equal to 1/2.
