fixing writing
Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
- We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
- Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
- The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
- Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.
Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“ However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina. We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.
First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy) put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.
Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!
I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

blindfold challenge
On Friday 21st September 2018, 9.10am room 7 did the blindfold challenge, room 7 students had to get into buddies and miss arranged the furniture.
We got into buddies and my buddy was davlyn, after that miss ashley told the instructions. the instructions was you have 10 points and if you touch or bump a table or if you step on a piece of paper you lose a point, you couldn't touch the person who's blind folded.
After we got into buddies and got the instructions we played the game I had to tie davlyns Blindfold then we got up and I had to instruct him then I said “go right” and after that I said in a commanding voice “stop your gonna bump in a table “ and he didn't bump into it then he reached the end
After davlyn was blindfolded I was blindfolded when I was blindfolded I felt nervous and terrified at the same time when I was getting instructed I stepped on a piece of paper and it went “CRUNCH” I was like “did I step on a paper “ then davlyn replied “YES” in a frustrated voice and I reached the end.
My favorite part is when I lost a point and being blindfolded.

The first one was kind of easy it was like we was pulling our partner's hands and falling back. Some of them you had to be very flexible and do the splits. And you had to balance but balancing was very hard because it heart.
2p
It was very challenging because we had to make different shapes like a star and a chair on a chair. Making shapes with our bodys are very very hard because I was terrified to go on my friends shoes. It heart when I went on my friends shoes because when I rubbed my body it heart.
