This is my noteflight composition! Below is my blendspace that teaches you about blues music. I originally thought of choosing my style as Hungarian Czardas, but that was a little too hard, so I decided to choose blues music. I liked Hungarian Czardas music because I listened to one piece and it sounded really cool. Then I switched to blues, I liked blues because I really like how the chords sound. Once I started to compose my piece it didn’t really sound like blues. Matt said it sounded like many different kinds of music, so I think that I will call this piece Mixed Up Melodies! It has been fun composing my blues/other kind of music, and I hope next time we compose I will have a certain kind of style.

Dream House Project
A few days ago we had a homework assignment to find pictures of a dream house and describe each room. It was fun finding pictures of an amazing house, but it was a little hard finding a house with every room that Sharyn said had to be in the house. But when I saw everyone else, they had different pictures of every room, and I thought Why didn’t I think of that! But I did end up editing pictures into the picture. It was a little hard writing sentences about each room, because we had to use a different non B.A.G.S adjective for each sentence. B.A.G.S adjectives are different adjectives because you have to change the conjugation based on the word before it. But overall the project was fun! Right below are the sentences I made for the rooms in the dream house.
Voici une vielle chambre a coucher interessante
Voici un petit WC bleu
Voici une jolie salle de bains maronne
Voici une mauvaise chambre a coucher verte
Voici une grande salle de sejour froid
Voici un nouveau salon chaud
Voici une bonne cuisine orange
Voici un bel jardin soleil
Voici une longue salun a manger noir
Voici un joli living blanc
Voici une courte piscine bleu
Voici un mauvais grenier gris
Voici un sent mauvais garage ronde
Voici un tres bien sousol carre
Science Behind Lunch
These are pie charts for 6B of what we eat at lunch. We looked at different websites and saw other pie charts, after looking at them we tried to change what we ate at lunch. Before was what we usually ate, and after was trying to eat how the online pie charts looked like. Some people tried to eat less of grain, or some people tried to eat more fruit, different people changed their diet based on what they usually ate.
Creative Writing Piece from November
I’m proud of this piece because I did a lot of editing. At first I just wrote paragraphs about my magic power, and how I would work with it. I didn’t have a story arc, so I had to change the whole story. It was hard but fun. It was cool how I got to make a story about a magic power, and the problems I had with it. This writing piece showed a lot of detail, which was one of my goals for the year, to be more descriptive in my writing.
I am Olivia and I was born with a magic power. I am going to explain how my day was yesterday. By the way, my magic power is to be able to snap and be anywhere in seconds. If I wanted to go somewhere halfway around the world, I would be there in a couple seconds instead of a 12 hour plane ride.
I woke up at 8:10 and I had to be at school by 8:15. When I got out of bed, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, ate breakfast, got changed and walked out the door at 8:14, just to be safe. How the power works is right after you snap your fingers, you zoom through many different invisible tunnels in the sky. You could end up going through different tunnels from different directions and collide into each other.
I said goodbye to my parents and snapped out the door. Unfortunately, I had a bad morning after leaving home. After I snapped, I zoomed through the tunnels and got stuck at a dead end. Normally that’s the tunnel that leads me right to school. Then I looked at the sign and underneath the sign there was another little sign that said “Sorry for inconvenience, the tunnel cracked so it is dangerous to speed through it. We will be opening the tunnel again tomorrow at 8:30am.” When I saw that note my brain was out of ideas. I had no idea how to get to school.
At least of what I knew, there was no other tunnel leading me to school. It was already 8:16, I was a minute late. I kept on snapping and snapping to different places, but none of them were bringing me to the right place. I was thought of calling my mom, but I would just get in even more trouble. Then I began to cry. I was really nervous because what if I was lost forever? I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. I couldn’t even figure out how to get back home.
Then I saw a blinking light on one of the tunnels, I started to follow it. It brought be to a blue and green tunnel. I thought to myself, “Should I take a risk and go into the tunnel? Or should I be safe and try to find a different way out of the tunnels?.” Then I thought, “No, I should go in, I’m lost right now so maybe it will bring be somewhere safe.”
I walked into the tunnel and I started to float. I felt butterflies in my stomach. The soft blowing wind was drifting me forward, I felt as light as a feather.
I was almost out of the tunnel when I heard a soft voice.
“We have saved you, when you need us we are here, but then we disappear.” The soft voice said starting to become silent.
“Who are you?” I asked
“We are the angels of the tunnel.” The voice said.
“Have you always been in the tunnels?” I asked with a scared voice.
“Yes, we have been watching over you and protecting you” She said.
“Oh, well thank you for saving me!” I said starting to cheer up.
I thought that she would say something back to me but the voice had disappeared. I was a little creeped out. I knew that since I had a magic power, weird things can happen to me.
Once I was fully out of the tunnel I saw buildings and trees. I felt like I knew where I was, and I did! I was so happy and relieved that I started jumping up and down. I was right across the street from school. It was a little weird because my friend came up to me and said “Hi Olivia, ready for school?” In my head I was thinking “What are you talking about? Aren’t I late for school?” Then I looked at my watch and it was only 8:14!
Soon I felt a soft breeze blow into my ear and voices started saying,
“We have set back time for you, now you may go to your school without being late.” Said the angels of the tunnels.
“Thank You very much.” I whispered quietly into the air.
“We will watch over you, so if anything happens we will protect you.”
Then I crossed the street and went into school, without being late.
