Dungeons and Dragons



The Dungeons and Dragon's team

Here are the super characters who made up the team of adventurers from the world of Dungeons and Dragons. We decided to have a competition to write the best character description for our favourite character. Here are some of the descriptions we wrote:

Luca's character description about Bobby.

He's wearing a clean looking viking suit with a pair of fury shorts, a cute little smile on his chubby face. It looks as if those feet would have room enough to play in those huge boots. He looks content as if his team had just defeated the most powerful and fierce dragon of all times.His helmet looks as if it could protect him in a battle.

Olivia's character description of Eric

A blood red coat shone amongst the Sun. Midnight coal black hair swallowed the world. Armed legs like in the Viking time. A Sun shot yellow shirt with flecks of diamond .

PS If you have no idea who they are, we have included a link to one of the episodes below:

We have more than 4500 DOJO POINTS

Here is our current Dojo Points Total as a Class. I particularly like the 98% positive rating! Well done 3G!

The science of spillage...

Oh no! Messy teachers have spilt coffee all over the staff room. We know the toy we want to design but how do we test which material will be the most absorbent?

A Safire blue sea souroned, A shooting city that streamed the city in to busynus, lightling streamed through the sky as if it would fall, fern grass made it look beautiful - Olivia

 

1. The thunder storm crashed with loud noise that will make everyone stay in the house.

2. The enormous London Bridge shone down from the terrible thunder storm.

3. Everything in London looks very dark and gloomy.

4. The terrifyying people were scared.

On the left side of the town there are lots of machines that the builders can use.

On the left side of the town it is stormy with lightning that is very strong so the builders can get it with a machine.

When the top of a tower is flat, a strong ship can go there when the force field is on.

On the side that has trees there is a special station that keeps lightning in.

On the right side of the river the trees are covering half of the town.

The shiny saphier blue water is under the bright ivory bridge and there are some corn shape tower with glass windows stand on top of the bridge. Boats are silver with a silver ball. The roads are dark grey with white lines in the middle.

William


Lightning bolts shot out of the sky while the battle ships glided in the air. The electronic buildings towered into the clouds like a airplane trying to fly to space which is miles away. Rivers gently swayed side to side as the steamboats engines roared. Miles away people could see the cars zooming in the distance. The people watched as the land was filled with joy and excitement.

Elastic or Stretchy?

Personally, I am more stretchy than elastic! But I guess that's just my age...Today 3G spent the morning deciding whether different materials were more elastic or stretchy. If you send us a material we will definitely make a point of looking at whether it is more stretchy or elastic.

Difference is Character!

Villain or Hero? A picture says a thousand words! However, four super sentences can do just as good a job as any picture if you word it the write way! If you don't believe me then read these absolutely cracking character descriptions for Scrooge and Serena!

Remembering the past!

Recently, the world marked the anniversary of the terrible tragedy that was the first world war. Avi wrote this poem based on a picture from that war. I think his poem really does capture a poignant moment from the conflict.


Round helmets
Grubby uniforms
Muddy faces
Boots stuck in the mud
Can we make it in time to save our wounded solder?
