Xtramath Results

This is my xtramath for week 1 of this term. I think I did quite well, but I know I can do better.

My worst mistake


My Worst Mistake
My worst mistake was about a year and a half ago. I was sent to the store to get some stuff that we needed for dinner. My mistake was telling a lie and taking advantage of my mum because she always sent me to the store instead of herself.

I was 11 years old and turning 12 in a couple of months. My mother always sent me to the store if we needed anything, and she still does. As always I did as I was told and I bought the stuff my mom asked me to buy. But this time what my mom told me to buy wasn’t the only thing I bought. I also bought me a chocolate bar. I knew that my mum knew how much change she was supposed to get back, so on my walk home I ate my chocolate bar thinking of something to tell my mum. When I handed my mum her change she looked at my confused. I lied to her that some of the food prices went up, she believed me.

It wasn’t long after that I was thinking about what I told her and how she believed me. I started to regret lying to my mum, so I told her. She didn’t seem angry but I knew that she was. I apologised and she forgave me, lying to my mum is something I never want to do again.

Holiday Reading - Rewrite the ending

Original End - They find the werewolf that has taken the pair of false teeth and punished the chef that adopted him because he was the one that came up with the plan.
My Ending - They find the werewolf and instead of still allowing the chef to go, after they punished him at the aquarium i’d make him write a book that tells the story.

The title of the book is Meet The Vimpiresons By Knife and Packer. This book is an adventure book. My ending is better because it kinds of make it like the chef was the person that wrote the book.

Holiday Reading - Recommendation

 The title of the book is The Son Of Slappy by R.L Stine. I think this book is a thriller or suspense book. I would recommend this book to one of my best friends, Chloe. I think she would like this book because it’s a book from the goosebumps series.

Food Explanation

Birthdays

My family in America loves to celebrate each other's birthday. We gather together at my Grandparents house to celebrate. We always have food and it’s the main thing we have when we celebrate. The food is usually made by the people that are throwing the party.

Not long after our big breakfast of pancakes, eggs, toast, breakfast sausages and orange juice, my mother and her 3 sisters begin making the side dishes for our barbeque. They start early because most of the side dishes need to be chilled or they take a long process to make. My mother prepares the ingredients to make egg rolls. One of my aunts shreds the crab meat for the crab salad. Another one of my aunts starts marinating the pork ribs and chicken. My other aunt peels, washes and boils the potatoes so they are ready to be made into a potato salad.

When they’re all finished with the food they made, it was time for lunch, because my mother and aunties don’t want us to keep opening and closing the refrigerator and ruin the chilling of the food, they took us out to McDonalds for lunch. Soon we are finished with our happy meal and played at the small playground. We go home in time for the meat to be grilled.

Our grandpa and uncle begin grilling the meat. Just like my mother and aunties, they both have jobs to do, so that they don’t get in the way of each other. My uncle applies the meat onto the grill and removes them when they’re done and my grandpa flips the meat, so that it is evenly cooked. They swap jobs for each kind of meat. Chicken, ribs, steak and pork..

Celebrating birthdays is something my family in America loves to do. Food is the main thing we use to celebrate. I love the way my family celebrates birthdays because they’re fun and everyone gets involved.

I remember as it it was yesterday.


I Remember As If It Was Yesterday
I remember as if it was yesterday. It was around 4am and my mum and 3 aunties were packing our food, utensils, clothes, lotion, brushes, tents, blankets and pillows for our camping trip. I was really tired but also really excited. We had started early because we had a long road trip ahead of us.

Netball Explanation


Netball

Netball is a great game to play with a big group of people. On the netball court there must be 7 players on each team. There should be two different teams competing against each other. Netball is easier when you know what position you’re in.

Each player stands in different positions for different reasons. In the game there is a goal attacker . They can shoot the ball to score their team a goal . They can run in the third they started in, the center third and their teams circle. Goal defence can also do the same because goal attack and goal defence mark each other. Wing attack and wing defence can do the same as goal attack and goal defence except they can’t go into their teams shooting circle. Goal shoot and goal defence can go anywhere in their shooting third but no further. The last player in the game is center. Center can go in all three thirds but not in the shooting circles. Once you know what position you’re in it makes learning the rules a little bit more easier.

Netball rules don’t only revolve around what position you stand, but a few rules do. When any of the players step into a third or shooting circle they aren’t allowed in the referee will blow the whistle. If that happens then it is the other teams ball where the rule was broken. The other rule is, if the ball goes out it is the other teams throw in. If two players from the same team have their hands on the ball at the same time, it is a short pass and the other teams ball. If someone smacks the ball out of the other teams hand it is called contact and it is the other teams ball. If the person with the ball bounces it on the ground, or plays with it in their hands then it is a handover and it’s the other teams ball. Another rule is if the shooter shoots the ball and it goes straight up in the air and doesn’t touch anything and they catch it again it called a short pass because it’s almost like throwing it to yourself. When you know how to pass the ball it’ll improve the goal shoot or goal attacks shooting.

Netball players have different ways to throw the ball to keep it away from the other team. One of these ways depends on how you pass the ball.  There are 3 different ways to pass the ball. The pass that most of the netball players use is chest pass. Chest pass is when the person with the ball has it near their chest and passes it to another play from their teams to their chest. Another way to pass the ball in netball is to bounce pass. To bounce pass you need to bounce the ball on the ground and face it in the direction of the person you’re trying to pass it to. The last pass is, over head pass. This pass takes the ball from the top of your head and passing it to the other opponent's chest.

Netball is a fun game to play with a big group of your friends or family. There must be two teams of seven players. Netball positions, rules and ball passing strategies are all really easy after using it for a long period of time.

Telling Where

Telling Where
Waves crashing upon the shore as the wind blows. Tall trees all around, making shade for relaxation. I can hear the laughter of children in the water as they splash each other.

Holiday Reading - Character Potrait





Thea is Geronimo’s sister and special correspondent at The Rodent’s Gazette.
The title of the book I read was Thea Stilton and The Mystery on the Orient Express by Geronimo and Thea Stilton. This book is an adventure book.

















Holiday Reading - Choose your own




The activity I decide to do was to pick your favourite chapter of the book I read and tell why that chapter is your favourite.


The title of the chapter I think is the best is An Army of Clowns.
This chapter is my favourite because it is when Geronimo and his nephew Benjamin found out that the clown that helped them, Chuckles is a criminal and he is the one that has been stealing all of the pumpkins for halloween.  
The title of the book I read was The Peculiar Pumpkin Thief by Geronimo Stilton. The book is a book about mystery.
