Problems I faced in Term 3

In term 3, I faced many problems. One of which was that I found poem analyzing very boring. I found it hard to concentrate during lessons. Also, I found it hard to juggle playing time and studying. Ace was also difficult to handle as I lacked time due to my training. Hopefully these problems will be solved by term 4 and my results improve.

YOG reflections

Singapore, despite being a small country on the map, has managed to host the first ever YOG. Eventhough she is 45 years old, she has managed to host such a grand event. This is a huge step for Singapore. Not only does Singapore get the honour of hosting this grand event, it also is able to attract more foreign people into Singapore, thus improving Singapore's economy.

A acrostic poem

An acrostic poem about me :

Xavier is my name,
And I'm in track and field.
Very tough CCA, with very difficult training. However
In the end,
Everything will be worth it when winning
Right almost every medal. :)

A sound poem

A sound poem composed by me :

I hear my mom nagging in my ear,
nag nag nag nag nag.
That angry woman screaming in my ear,
But the only thing that goes in is...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

What I've learned

For term 3, we spent the term learning about poetry. We learned about analyzing poems. We also learned that there are many different types of poems, for example :limericks and haikus. We also learned things about poems like onomatopoeia and alliteration. Overall I think that I have learned a lot this about poems this term.

The poem.

Carrying a sling bag up four flgihts of stairs,
I see my teacher pass by.
She asks me for my homework,
I say its not done yet and she asks why.

I give her a smile, turn my head around,
and make a mad dash away.
In my classroom I sit quietly,
scribbling and scribbling away.



This is my poem, enjoy :)
