Hello grade 4s! Welcome to the senior primary! The past three years that I have been here was really fun and there were lots of amazing activities! A few of my favorite activities that I did in the past three years were books by night which was a night were you would get hot chocolate and go to different classes and read books. Another fun activity was sports day which was loads of fun with my friends. I loves  singing with all my Emerald friends. Last year (2019) Elkanah had a production called bugsy Malone  which was very fun and i got to make loads of friends. You should be exited for grade 6 because in art we make masks which were so much fun to make and design.A few tips that you should keep with you are in drama always give 100% and never talk when somebody is preforming and get on the good side of your teacher it will help throughout the year!I hope you have an amazing time at the Senior Primary!

                                                            Last week the Grade 6's did a poetry ILT . Poetry is a form of English writing , that sometimes rhymes. There are lots of different styles of poetry, my favourite style is a Haiku. People write poetry to express how people are feeling.  The activities we did over the ILT was we had to do a terminology task were we had to look up words and find out what they mean. Another thing we did  was  a poetry slam  were we had to come up with a poem and preform in front of two classes.We also had to write different styles of poetry  and then put it into a slide show.

In class we are reading a book called Wonder and Mr Brown is talking about precepts, let me tell you about my precept that I chose.   I think a  precept is something that is a rule or something to stand by and something you want to keep for a long time. My precept that i found and liked is , ''Shoot for the moon but if you don't make it you'll land among the stars'' which means go for your goals but if you don't make it you will get somewhere else.'' You could use it for a lot of different purposes. Now I am going to tell you about this precept that I made ''They just want to be like you.'' which means if people hurt your feelings , don't care , they are just jealous of what you have and they don't. I hope that you learned something about precepts. Try to make you own precep ts.
