    Narrative writing refers to descriptive story writing. Your story should be clear and creative.

    • Conflict (What goes wrong in the story?)

    • Solution (How is the conflict resolved?)


    Also, when writing a narrative, use the following to bring your story to life:

    • Use similes, metaphors and personification 

      • (e.g) The sun was as hot as fire

      • (e,g) The touch of the wind caused the leaves to dance happily in the trees

    • Use dialogue where necessary

    *Triangles Review*

    All triangles have a total of 180 degrees. 
    To calculate an unknown angle in a triangle, you must subtract from 180.

    EXAMPLE


    Step 1: Add
    70 + 50 = 120

    Step 2: Subtract
    180 - 120 = 60 degrees

    Mathematics

    POLYGONS



     
    A polygon is any closed 2-dimensional shape formed with straight sides. Triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons are
    all examples of polygons. The name tells how many sides the shape has.
    For example, a triangle has three sides, and an octogon has eight sides.

    Quadrilaterals

    A quadrilateral is a polygon that has exactly four sides. This also means that a quadrilateral has exactly four vertices, and
    exactly four angles. Although, the sides do not have to be the same length, the angles inside a quadrilateral will always add
    up to 360 degrees.
    Here are some examples of quadrilaterals:

    Saturday Classes 2024

    Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’.  Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region.
