Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages

Today in Maths we were given a table to complete. We had to convert fractions to decimals, and then to percentages. Here is my work..

Frozen. I stood there frozen with mixed feelings, fear and wonder. I gazed at the bizarre happenings around me. I felt dazed, as if I was stuck in an dreadful dream. I was scared like a cat.

Cards, some large and some small dance around in front of me like it had a mind of it's own. Confused but yet mesmerised, I began to make my way through the forest hoping that I made the right decision. Step by step I walk as slowly as a snail. “ERRRRR” I heard in the far distance. Chills ran down my back. My heart beat started to run fast. I stopped under a tree. I couldn’t breathe. Gasping for air I gradually started to walk slowly. I sluggishly looked around for help. “Where even am I?” I thought in my head. I looked around for ages hoping to find something but I had no luck. Suddenly I heard the eerie sound that I heard earlier. “Where do I go?”. I ran as fast as an cheetah so I could get to the other side but it was an dead end, I had nowhere to go. The sound became louder and louder and I could sense the creature coming closer. Before I knew it the creature was behind me and I slowly turned around. “CRASH” I woke up in shock. I woke up back in my room. “It was all just a bad dream?”. I got out of my bed shocked.

Introduction: Angel

“Beep beep” The alarm goes off. I suddenly wake up and rushed into the bathroom. Today was the day I competed in a huge tournament against other competitors from around the world. I instantly got dressed and prepared for the most important day of my career. Once I was done, I took an huge deep breath and headed out.

Problem: Nikaya.

Only at that point that I had realise my arrows were missing, if I don’t find them I will be disqualified. My heart sunk, I can’t even think of the numerous amount of people I have disappointed, I am absolutely puzzled where they may be. I tried everything, but my last option was to, retrace where I went.

Solution: Richelle.

All of a sudden I see something in the corner of my eye. There they were my dream savers “I found them, I found them” I quietly said in my head, and It was just in time. I immediately grabbed the arrows and headed out. Whilst walking back, I grabbed my bow and headed down to the arena. I got in position and the games began.

Conclusion: Angel.

As the game had finished, I suddenly looked up towards the scoreboard and there it was 2045, I had set the world record by twenty points.

Share what you think about this article and explain why

I think this article is very interesting because it shows an scientist finding a real dinosaur footprint. For me I think that’s really cool because they were once roaming around the world before and now they’ve gone extinct. For me that’s really interesting and the fact that they found an actual footprint is better.
