Irony

This week I have been learning about irony. There is 3 different types of irony. Verbal irony, dramatic irony and situational irony. They all mean stuff to do with opposite. 

When Tom and James left the house they both noticed the weather was absolutely terrible. They had to walk 20 minutes to school. It was gushing down and the wind could almost pick you up and fly you away. Five minutes into the walk it started hailing. Tom looked at James and said “the weathers great today, isn’t it”.

In this piece of writing there is verbal irony which is the same as sarcasm. Saying something when you actually mean another, e.g  “the weathers great today, isn’t it” when you know that the weather was actually horrible and the opposite of great.

Science T3 W1

In science we have been learning about how day and night works. We got given in our groups a small piece of paper, a paper clip, a small Styrofoam sphere, a pen, some sellotape and instructions. We put it all together to make a globe that can spin. After that we got a light so we could shine it towards the globe as we slowing spun it, this represented how day and night works. We watched how NZ's day and night worked. Then we made a stop motion explaining how it works while we spun the globe with the light on it.

Term 3 Goals

This term I want to share more of my work with others. That means I will also have to get better at finishing my work so another one of my goals will be to stay focused and move myself away from any distractions if I'm not. I want to get better at remembering and using all the strategies I've been taught in math so I can get answers easier and faster.
