Hello there and welcome back to my blog, I hope you are all doing well during your Term 3 Holidays. Almost there everyone! As you all know that it is holidays, of course there is another Learning Journey. During these holidays I'll be blogging and explaining  about the Spring Learning Journey activities almost everyday.A big thanks goes to creators of the Spring Learning Journey as well as the teachers in Team 5 who have encourage students to participate . So sit back and relax while I explain the 2nd activity for the Spring Learning Journey, Wk 1.

Activity 2 (Facts): Romeo and Juliet

Along with the tasks set up for us, they provide fun facts about the people that we are learning about. The person that this activity is about was  a famous author, poet and playwright. He is best known for playing roles amazingly in plays and one of is famous plays is Romeo and Juliet. You've guessed it, it's William Shakespheare.

So before we get into the activity let me share you some more facts about him.

1. Shakespheare was born on the  26th April 1564
2. Shakespheare is widely considered the world's best dramatist
3. He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets
4. He married to Anne Hathaway when he was only 18
5. Then he had 2 twins, Hamnet and Judith

Shakesprearean English Task

So for this task today I had to learn more about Shakesprearean English. Shakesprearean English is the version of english Shakespheare  used in most of his plays. To practice being like Shakespheare we had to write a small recount of what we did in the morning. Then after that we had to use a translating tool that translates it into Shakesprearean English.

Week 1, Activity 2

Today's Winter Learning Journeys activity is about a famous author named Ronald Dahl but he wasn't just a author he was also a British writer, fighter pilot, spy and inventor. He is also best know because he writes a lot of funny and enjoyable books we all love to read including Charlie & the chocolate factory, Matilda, The Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox and much more. The book today we are focusing on is the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). 

What we have to do for part of today's activity is write a character description of the BFG that includes at least 10 descriptive words and a drawn picture of the BFG to go along with the 10 or more words. Hope you enjoy...

Character Description

The BFG is a Big Friendly Giant. He wears long ,green trousers, white baggy shirt and a old, brown sleeveless jacket over it. He also has big, floppy ears and he is a hundred times as tall as a giraffe. He is very old but really is a really great friend to have. He enjoys catching dreams and putting them in kids rooms during night time with his new friend sophie. He has a really bubbly and friendly personality that I think everyone would like, I would love to have a friend like him. Here is my drawing as well..
