The exotic journey

Today, I did an english lesson with Holly and today was about the qualities for a poem. I had to chose a fruit and write a peom about it after discussing the qualities.

The qualities for a poem
  • Alliteration - The first letters of a word being the same with the naxt after it. Eg. pointy pants, sugar sweet.
  • Onomatopoeia - a word sounding like a noise. Eg. Crack! Smash!
  • Personification - describing a thing with an action a human does. Eg. trees dancing, the cherry laughing.
  • Sibilance - repetition of the 's' or 'sh' sound. Eg. the slithering snake swept into the spooky skeleton house.
  • Assonance - the vowel sound repeated. Eg. the fair pear in my hair, the slime crime takes time.
  • Similes and metaphors - comparing something to something else. Eg. Simile - as fast as a cheetah, light as a feather. Metaphor - she was a long river, a boulder he was. 
My poem

As I sat down on the front door steps,
Longing to taste the juicy, tropical fruit,
I felt my mouth watering at the thought of it,
I could imagine and see the ripe plump topaz in my hands,
Glimmering and beaming at me,
Its sunshine-yellow flesh dancing in the light,
The soft coating waiting to be peeled,
A green, strong stem shot out of it, holding the magnificent structure together,
Swoosh! A graceful, roaming robin perched beside me,
As if understanding what I was thinking,
It sympathetically took a small step towards me, beckoning me to follow,
Then it flew away, with me behind it,
mango fruit isolated on white background Wall Mural • Pixers® • We ...
a mango
Over the small hills, mounds of grounds and across a wide river,
Splash! Mw feet went in the soothing, cold water, 
The bird lead me to a tree,
A tree where my favourite fruit dwelled,
It nibbled on a stalk of one and... SNAP! it fell,
With my quick reactions, I caught it,
Sitting under the tree, the fruit showed off its beauty,
I used my penknife to peel the jacket, 
And bit into the fruit of my dreams,
Oh, how sweet and moist it was, 
The Mango.

My book review

Image
A few weeks ago, I created a book review on request for it to be posted on a magazine . I chose to do it on the Boy of the Back of the Class. Here is my review.↓ Introduction The Boy At the Back Of the Class is a great book by Onjali Q. Rauf because it reveals the hardship of people escaping the war in Syria and a strong connection between two people. Summary A refugee boy came to a school where the narrator and her best friends go to. The narrator became friends with Ahmet (the refugee boy) and Brendan-the-bully was being mean to him so they had a fight. Ahmet won and so Brendan got revenge by putting a can of baked beans into Ahmet’s red bag. He tries to wash it off but the smells and stains stayed. The narrator learned more about Ahmet’s background story and how he got into the school and country. Ahmet and his family were running from a war in Syria and they all got separated. Unfortunately, Ahmet’s cat died whilst going on a boat to Greece. They had to move to many differe

Making Harry Potter Monopoly

Image
Me with the game Two days ago, my mum had a fantastic idea to create our own Harry Potter Monopoly to play as a family. 😀We printed the paper for the board that I cut it out extra carefully. The next day, we got some unused cardboard and turned it into the gameboard. We printed the money and the title deed cards and cut them using the slicer. We used a recycled box to make the place to put the game and figures inside. Then, we printed the bottom for the box and stuck it on. After that, we wanted to print the top of the box but we unfortunately had no ink left!😞 At night, after we had iftar and salah, we played the Monopoly and it was AMAZING!!! We all were so into the game that we played until midnight!😅A few days later, the ink finally arrived and we printed the top of the box to complete everything. The game turned out to be spectacular. Instead of regular chance cards and chest community, there were potions and spell cards. E.g. One of the potions cards said to go directly

Pizza Pizza

Today, my mum suggested my sister and I make 3 mini pizzas for lunch. She also asked my brother to make brownies with her. We all woke up and opened our home school (I knew that I would have a lot of fun today because we had so much fun yesterday).  I decided to draw a greyscale (black and white), shaded picture of my blue, metallic hydroflask. I think it looks very realistic. Share what you think of my drawing in the comments. After that, my sister and I made the pizzas. Me with my drawing. I had to be very careful with the shading and I really did not want a single line out of place because I want it to look neat. I also put the shadow of my bottle to make it look even more realistic. Instructions to make a mini pizza Serves one person. 1.First, preheat the oven to gas mark 5. 2.Second, mix in a cup of flour with a half-cup of water (ratio from flour to water is 2:1). 3.Flour your surface and knead the dough on that surface.
