Word Art

Over the last two weeks we had to write kind and positive things about each other, then put them in, paper, boxes we had made. We then made a word art cloud.

Cricket

On the 27 of November we had a person named Paddy come and teach us a little a bit of cricket. Here are some photos.

Knights

On the 20 of November we had a different teacher called Mrs Meikle. We had to make a presentation on knights.  Harrison and I made a slide-show.

Headphones

In writing we have written about if we should keep headphones or not. We used an OREO template to write it.

Should we have Headphones?
I think that Headphones should remain in Room 6 because they are helpful for school work. 

Would you like it if you had to set your class to watch an educational video,  then have all of the noise repeating around the room from the video? 

Headphones should remain in Room 6 because they are helpful for blocking out music when people need to concentrate. If we didn’t have headphones there would be music booming around the room and it would be hard to be heard. 

Study.com states that the “Mozart effect” can help enhance your intelligence* and music can be soothing and it can relax you. Background music can also help you focus on your work. Some people think that music helps them with memorization. 

I think that headphones should remain in Room 6 because they can help with your learning.


*Intelligence is being clever I think, the dictionary couldn’t help me this time.

Reasearch

For reading we had some activates that we could do and Miro and I deiced to make a drawing on Cyclone Research.

 

Look into His Eyes

We had to write a sentences from a picture. Called Look into His Eyes.

The moon lights up the dark street good enough for me to see the road to my miserey.

I stroll along the dark road to the camp, which I was put into this camp, two weeks ago, when lots of people came to the blimin place.

A dark shadowy figure sprints across the street looking like he was trying to escape, from the camp.

I want to escape and I think it might happen.

We have recently made a Maths DLO (Digital Learning Object) about dividing with remainders.

M alliteration poem

For writing we had to make a poem based on F is For Fox by Carol Ann Duffy. We made a poem like F is For Fox but we used m instead of f.


M is for Mannequin, Moon and Max

Max marched to the movies.
Watching a posed mannequin stand motionlessly.

Magical mysteriousness managed to happen
 As the mannequin came to life.

Magical medicine shins in the mixing bowl

And matching the magical medicine colour.

Max marched to the moon.

Trying to manage to escape the mimicking mad mannequin.

The mannequin marched after max matching his every step.

Moon rocks fall to the misty ground.

The moon rocks fall

Missing max and the mannequin by a mosquitoes length.

Magic mist turned a flat moon into a muddy meadow.

Max mastered martial arts making the mannequin seem harmless. 

Max attacked the now motionless mannequin.

The mannequin was mangled motionlessly.



“Mannequin be gone”

Swimming lessons

We had to fill in a reflection about swimming lessons this term. We had swimming lesson every Monday and Wednesday.
 

Hunting and Fishing

On April first we had hunting and fishing competition. I had to write a description about hunting and fishing.  I had to use present tense and vivid words to describe. We also had to write as if we were there at that time.

Hunting and Fishing competition

Strolling down from our parked car, I hear the growl of a tractor’s engine. I walk further down and see there is a red truck with deer and pigs hanging down from the stock crate. Near the truck there are fish hanging from hooks. Splash splash from the eels in small plastic boxes makes me jump slightly. I walk forwards then I move out of the way because there are multiple utes coming towards me. I walk along the utes then end up at the huge white tent. I can smell the weird aroma of cooking meat and chips. I go and climb up a tree to wait for a while and to give me something to do. I decide to climb down again to stroll around. Then I walk to the stag truck again to admire the stags. A weird feeling comes across me, the feeling of anger and disgust. I feel sad for the poor fish. What did the fish ever do to you? I think silently.  I then change my mind and I walk to the tent slowly to get some chips. Then I  wander back to look at the stags. Their tongues are hanging out of their mouths, making  me look away in disgust.  I then walk to sit down in the huge white tent because it’s time for the major spot prizes to be handed out. 

Cycle Safety

We were learning about cycle safety with Constable Joss. After our session we had to write a description about our cycling. We had to use present  tense and vivid words to describe.

                                                                         Cycle safety

We just finished the safety stuff, now it’s party time! I line up on the yellow line by the court. I am at the back of the line which means I need to wait what feels like forever. I’m ready to go now. I start to go slowly before I gradually pick up speed then I circle to make sure there is no one in front of me. I start to go very fast then jump off the see-saw. I then go around the corner then speed up to jump again. When I jump,  then turn to zig-zag, I hit the ladder and it feels like an earthquake waking me up in the middle of the night. I’m back at the end of the line now. I wait, I wait a little, a little bit more, come on this is getting boring! I wait a little more, come on, this is taking forever! I’m at the front now. I start like a race car. Zooming down the zig-zags, I go speeding round the corner, trying to take off. I fly off the see-saw then slow down slightly to stop then start to zoom off again. I come to the back of the line and now it’s time to wait.

About Me

I had to make a slide about myself without adding two much personal detail. Hope you like mine.

Swimming Sports

We had to write a description about our swimming sports. We were learning how to write a detailed description, also how to use present tense and vivid words.

Swimming Race 🏊

Plop, I jump into the water,  grab onto the wall and with my arms behind me I face the pool.  TAKE YOUR MARKS, GO!  I’m off,  the water is flowing around my face.  The colourful lane rope beside me slowly changes colour. The further I go it seems like the pool is getting longer. I’m breathing every three strokes. When I breathe I see spectators watching then when I put my head back down I can’t see them any more.

Half way through my legs slowly become lifeless. People are cheering for other people. I can hear them when I breathe but then I can’t. People rocket past me but I don’t care much. I look to both sides and there aren’t any people behind, which means I’m coming last, but I don’t care much (although I would like to come first). I breathe in some water then I start to choke.

The bottom becomes closer which means I’m getting close to the end. I’m nearly at the wall. Ow! I just hit the wall. I raise myself up and then get out of the water. I then receive my time and hand it in.  I walk back to my seat and wait for my next race.

How to be a Better Learner in our School

We had to make a slide about how to be a successful learner. We had to make a slide on a shared slide-show. Here it is.

That was summer

In our class we wrote a poem about summer. We got our inspiration from the poem summer by  Marci
Ridlon.

That Was Summer

Remember that time

when the waves

were crashing down

on the beach

pulling you slightly

every time,

the sand deforming

every step you take?

Remember how the

rocks rolled away

after you pushed them?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you hit the water

in the pool

or hit the ground

after jumping off

a pile of rocks

or the time when

you saw the clouds

swiftly blow away

in the wind?

Remember how the waves

nearly stole your shoes?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you drank L&P

at the car park

with your bare feet

getting burnt by the hot ground

or when you went to the waterfall

and stood on a rock in the water

and thought “I’m the king of my own island”?

Remember how the time

came when you had to go?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you went

swimming in the river

when your dad said

not to

or when the iron

from the tracks on the digger

felt like flaming hot lava

or when the rocks

hurt your feet

when you were at the river?

Remember how the

sand covered your

feet and the heat made you

want to stay there forever?

That was summer.
