Coin Operated

I am learning to summarise a short clip.

So a little  boy wanted to go to the moon and he was playing with his spaceship toy.  Then he came across a coin operated spaceship machine. He thought it would bring him to space so he asked his mother for 5 cents. His mother gave him 5 cents to go into the machine and when he went into the machine and started it, he was very disappointed. It didn’t bring him to space. So he got out sadly but he came across an ad for lemons. This gave him an idea to make a lemonade stand to get money so he could try the machine again. Then he sold lemonade for many many years, until he was an old man. He closed down his stand, and he took a big sack of money he had gotten over the years. He made his way across the road to get to the machine. When he got there he poured all his money into the machine and went in the machine. He pressed the button to start the machine. At first the machine didn’t work and he was sad. He pressed the button again. It didn’t work. For the last time he bashed the button. Then the machine’s engine started revving then he blasted off into the air, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. 

The end.

I enjoyed this activity because this is very helpful.

Summarising

For reading we had to watch this short clip and summarise it.

So a kid's dad had to go to work, so he dropped the kid off to his grandparents house. Then the kid sat in his grandpa’s garage but one of the shelves had a box with a picture inside it. The kid was curious so he climbed to the shelves but he fell, taking the box with him. His grandpa noticed him fall so he came to the rescue. Then the grandpa discovered the little boy’s dad’s wagon. So they took it out for a ride. When the little boy was on the wagon the grandpa mentioned some “escaped zoo monkeys.” And the kid was imagining they were escaping zoo monkeys in the forest. Then the kid imagined they were falling off a cliff into a river and their wagon turned into a boat. Then they were facing crocodiles.  This to the kid imagining they were falling off a waterfall and then their wagon that turned into a boat turned into an airplane. But then the airplane ran out of fuel so they had to jump off the plane with a parachute. Next scene they were under a tree and discussing what shenanigans they did. The grandpa then explained that those monkeys and crocodiles were just pests compared to aliens. Next scene they are in a spaceship having a war against aliens. Then there was a big alien spaceship pointing their guns at their small spaceship. Turns out it was just the kids dad’s car with his blinker lights on. Then the dad realized that they were playing with the dad’s old wagon. Next scene the dad was playing with the kid and they were on a course to the moon. But in reality the dad and the kid were both in the wagon, and the grandpa just pushed them off a steep pathway. :P Very quirky short animation.

This isn't what a summary is but I worked hard on it so yeah.

I enjoyed this activity because it's very good to learn how to summarise.

The triangle butterfly.

 This is one of the writing activities I did this week.

The famous rare triangle butterfly lies in the town of the enchanted forest. The wings of the butterfly are triangle shaped and that’s where it got its name from. And at the end of wings it looks like it has  snake heads there.  It feeds off the flowers of shiny, gold flowers. It flies around and whenever someone looks at it, they will be granted eternal luck and will never have bad luck. Butterflies are very jealous of the triangle butterfly and attempt to kill the triangle butterfly but luckily the butterfly  has bodyguards. The guards are very strict about who goes near the triangle butterfly. 

I enjoyed this activity because writing is fun.

Team Fortress 2

This is one of the tasks for writing I did this week.

Team Fortress 2 is a first person shooter game, where there are game modes with different objectives. One of the gamemodes is to capture all the control points so yeah that’s something.

Offense Classes: Captures control points.

Scout: Scout carries a Scattergun, (shotgun) pistol and a bat. He is very fast and can capture control points very quickly. He is perfect for hit and run tactics. Also he is ideal for aggressive fighting and flanking people.

Soldier:  Soldier carries a rocket launcher, shotgun and a shovel. He can capture control points quickly with rocket jumping. He also is capable of both defense and offense. Great class to get familiar with the game.

Pyro: Pyro is a pyromaniac who carries a flamethrower, shotgun and a fire axe. He specializes in close quarters and if an enemy gets damaged by a pyro and kills him, the enemy will still take damage from 

afterburn.

Defense Classes: Defends control points.

Engineer: Engineer carries a shotgun, pistol and a wrench but he doesn’t rely on his guns, he relies on his gadgets. He has a device where he can build teleporters, sentry guns, and dispensers. Sentry guns can defend control points by killing enemies. Teleporters can teleport other classes to action straight away. Dispensers can heal other classes and give them ammo.

Demoman: Demoman carries a grenade launcher, stickybomb launcher and a bottle. He can shoot grenade launchers at people and kill people from a distance. He can put his stickybombs on the control point and detonate them when an enemy walks by. 

Heavy: Heavy carries a minigun, shotgun and uses his fists as a melee weapon. He has lots of health so he absorbs big amounts of damage. He can gun down enemies while absorbing lots of damage. Very powerful class.

Support Classes: Supports the team.

Medic: Medic carries a syringe gun, medigun  and a bonesaw. He uses his medigun to heal his teammates and has a special ability called Ubercharge but can only use it when charged up. If the medic uses ubercharge the medic and the player that has ubercharge will be invincible. The Medic and Heavy are great pairs. 

Spy: Spy carries a revolver, butterfly knife, invisibility watch, disguise kit, and electro sapper. Spy can kill deadly enemies with a quick stab to the back (backstab) and gun down enemies with a revolver. He can make his escape with his invisibility watch. He can use his disguise kit to disguise as the enemy team and use his electro sapper to make teleporters, sentries and dispensers out of commission.

Sniper: Sniper carries a sniper rifle, submachine gun and a kukri. With his sniper rifle he can shoot enemies from a long distance. His sniper rifle can charge up and if his rifle is charged up he can kill his enemy with one shot. His sniper rifle damage can have more effect if aimed at the head. He is very strong at long range but at short range he is forced to use his submachine gun.

I enjoy this activity because this was for free writing.

Insect Habitats

This is my reading activity for this week.

Insect Habitats.

Nests: Insects can build underground nests, nests in trees, and other quirky places for their young. Some insects build very simple nests, but others can build complicated nests.her. Nests can be very helpful from getting protection from predators, and nature’s unpredictable weather.

Plants: Insects also live in peaceful, green scenery. Plants, fields, and forest are also habitats for insects. If they needed food, they could eat leaves, seeds, nectar and some fruit.

Fresh Water:  Lots of insects live in water such as, rivers, lakes, ponds and other water things.

Some insects stay in the water while others grow up there, then move to other places.

I enjoyed this activity because it is very educational.

Do you any other insect habitats?
