My favorite golf to watch is LIV golf which is the less formal golf than the PGA, there it music and its just more fun. I hope I can be in LIV golf one day. I play at the Hope Valley Country Club and my favorite hole is 14, it is a par 3 and is really fun. One time I almost got a hole in 1, I was 2 inches away. I got a birdie. A birdie is one under par. The best you can get is an albatross which is 3 under par then there is an eagle ( I have got one eagle) which is 2 under par and a birdie which is 1 under par. Over par there is a bogie, double bogie, and triple bogie. I got an eagle on a par 5 which means I got a 3, I drove the ball 275 yards and then hit a 110 yard shot right next to the hole for an easy put. I hope you guys start playing golf.

My LA class made books about a perfect world. Peg Gignoux helped use a lot. She is a great artist, here is a link too see her art. https://gignouxart.com/.To make the plants on the book we put ink called Akua ink on a gel pad and then put a plant on top and a piece of paper, then we rolled it so the ink got on the paper and made a plant painting. Then we did some folding to make the book open and close like a book. Then we cut a hole in the middle so there is a cave looking thing. Then we glued all of are plant paintings. Here is my book.

I will talk about fingerprints. Fingerprints are formed in 10-15 weeks in the womb.There are three different types of fingerprints, loops, whorls and arches. Loops are the most common fingerprint type and can point towards the thumb or the pinkie. Whorls are the second most common type of fingerprints and they have spiral or circular patterns. Arches are the least common type of fingerprints and they have a wavy pattern. Fingerprints are scientifically known as ‘dermatoglyph’, meaning sculpted skin. Everyone has their own unique fingerprint, just like snowflakes! Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Koala Bears even have them too! He are my fingerprints.

 I found all of my facts on this website if you want to learn more.

Chamber Theatre is an acting company. They came to my school to perform the Monkey’s Paw and The Necklace. They were amazing actors. The sound effects came on at the perfect time. The Monkey’s Paw is a about a magical monkey paw that gives you three wishes but each wish comes with a consequence. Here is a picture.

 

The Necklace is about someone who went to a dance but they needed jewelry so they asked there wealthy friend and she gave her a necklace. The necklace was shiny and had diamonds. She went to the dance and had a blast then when she was walking she had no necklace on so they looked for it and did not find it. What do you think happened next.

Hope you guys decide to go watch Chamber Theatre perform.

My LA class at my school is playing a stock market game, we are playing it because we are reading The Westing Game and someone named Sam Westing gets murdered by someone and the game is to figure out who killed him. There are pairs of two and they get clues. One group thinks the clues mean a type of stock. The group is Turtle Wexler and Flora Baumbach, Turtle is the one who invested in the stock market. I invested in Home Depot, General Motors, Dick’s Sporting Goods , and Boeing. I thought they would do good but currently I am down $200. I made a spreadsheet with the help of my teacher. This is what it looks like below.

And here is my logo.

Colonel Virts came to Durham Academy to present and it was awesome. He was a U.S air force fighter pilot and an astronaut at NASA. When he was up in space he saw so many cool things. He had a room in the spacecraft that was basically all windows so he could take lots of pictures. He took over 300,000 PICTURES! In space you still have to work out and get some energy out so they had a treadmill that was on the wall, you had to strap in to stay on the treadmill otherwise you would float. Colonel Virts also wrote books here is one of them below. Hope you become an astrnaut like Colonel Virts.
