SLJ -Rosa Parks

Many years ago in the USA black people weren't treated fairly and had to sit in different places in buses.  One day Rosa Parks to move from her sit to let a white person sit down.  She said no because she thought it was unfair.  She was arrested and other black people thought it was unfair and they stopped using the buses.  After several months the boycott ended and everyone was allowed to sit anywhere they liked on the buses. 

SLJ - Mr Mandela

 It is very lonely and boring because there is nothing to do.

It would be cold because there was only straw to keep warm.


It is unfair because everyone should treated the same.


You would miss your family.

SLJ teaser - The Wall

I do not like Donald Trump's idea to build a wall to stop people getting to Mexico and the USA.  I do not think it is fair for people who want to go somewhere but they can't. I think it is mean of him to not let people travel where they want to go.  I don't get why he does not want people to go where they want.  I think it is unfair of him.

Coding

Today Mr Kinane taught us coding. He showed us how to make a new block in variable. He challenged us to make a square spiral. Then we found out how to make a shape and make it rainbow coloured. I found it hard to make a shape rainbow coloured. I liked making different shapes.

Calndar Art

This is my Calendar Art of me falling into a portal.  We had to use pastels. We got to choose two colours. It was fun using pastels.  Mrs Long took a picture of me and I stuck it on.

Whitebaiting

On Sunday we went whitebaiting at a river south of Ross. We went with Willam, Sierra, Akeyla, Finnian, Mark, Dad, Suzie , Tony and Mia. We caught one pound. After that we made a bonfire. There was a girls fire and a boys fire. We had whitebait for dinner.  We had toasted Marshmallows on the fire for pudding, they were sticky and I liked buring mine.  When it got dark we played spot light. It was fun. The next day we went on the kayaks in a small lagoon, the water was clear but cold.  There was also some sinking sand and mud that we played in.

Nibbles

This is my pet lamb called Nibbles. Nibbles is a boy. I have been feeding him 3 bottles every day. In these photos nibbles has a jacket on. He was yonger then.  I had to wipe his bum when he was yonger. He lived in the shed a week ago but now he is in the paddock. I love him.

My Pet Taco

This is a haiku poem about my cat Taco.

For writing this week we had to write a Haiku poem about our self. A Haiku poem has three lines. The first line has to have 5 syllables the second 7 and third 5. Have you wrote a haiku poem? If you have not why don't you try amd write on in the comments?

Repeated Addition

We have been learning to use repeated addition in class. I found it easy to write the repeated addition. I found it hard to find the right answers. We had to think of a multiplication  problem and then work it out with repeated addition.

Coding

This is my picture that I made when we did  Tynker. It looks like a fairest wheel that is rainbow coloured. I found it hard to get these colours. I found it easy to find the blocks. To make more you had to press pause, move Cody and then press play. I liked making more fairest wheels. It was fun.

Colour Poem

For writing the last 2 weeks we have been doing a colour poem. You could do any colour you wanted. I chose blue because it is my favourite colour. We had to write about the colour we chose. We had to use our senses to write our poem. I loved doing a colour poem. I found it hard to draw some of my pictures. I found it easy to chose which picture to do next.

Vocab

This week our word of the week is mayhem. Mayhem means a situation of great confusion or destruction.

Melted Wax Art

Our Clown Art

First we had to do a drawing of what our clowns would look like. I did a few drawings of my clown. Then we did the one that we would colour in. You could only do the clowns shoulders and head. The teacher and Jackie had to melt old crayons. We took turns at painting with the crayons. Once the crayons had melted we used  a paint brush to get the melted crayon. The melted crayon got put in to a  muffin tin. There were different colours to chose from. You could only do one strip with the paint brush before you had to put it in the tin again. You could only do one strip because if you did another strip it would come off. We had to do a border around the clown. My clown had a blue and green border. My clown had red hair.

If you did clown art what colour would you do for the head? I found doing the hat hard. It was fun doing the hair.

Runaway Land

  I made this picture on Pixlr Editor.  I have been learning to use Pixlr Editor. I found drawing the people hard. We had to chose a sentence out of our reading book to make a picture for it. My sentence is He needed his two favourite cousins, Lance and Vance who lived next door.

Vocab

The word of the week is vast. Vast means a huge bit of land that you can see for miles. We have been learning what vast means.

Reflection Term Two

I like reading, writing, and art because you use your imagination a lot. I think I am good at writing because I can describe  things that I do.  My next step in writing is to make sure I use comma’s and apostrophes.

I need to work on reading punctuation because reading sounds better with punctuation. In term 1 and term 2 I have got better at times tables and fractions.

I like art because you can paint, draw, and make cards. I also like art because you can choose different colours.

My favourite part of the term was when Mister Kinene taught us coding because it was fun looking for the different blocks.

 I  do not like doing Math Whizz because it is boring. It is boring because it’s not fun and repeats the same activity again and again.

Vocab

This week the word of the week is novice. Novice means a beginner or new to something. If you are new to something you would be novice. I just learnt what novice means.

Cross Country

 On Friday the whole school did cross country. We had to walk to the cross country course at the Morrison's farm. The Morrison's farm is not that far from our school. My family came to watch cross country. First we walked the course so we knew where to go. We had to wait till it was our turn to run. When it was my turn to run we lined up then off we went. We had to run down a paddock, turn the corner, go over a bridge, run till we got to another bridge, run up a hill run and along the top of the hill . Then we had to go down a hill and  sprint to the finish. I got wet socks because the ground was muddy and wet with puddles. I got first in my race. I felt good because I tried my best.

Have you ran in cross country before? Did you get wet and muddy?

Fraction

We have been learning about fraction and what fraction look like. I had to get blocks and put them in different groups. We did some word problems. I think the word problems were the hardest.When I had to draw the fractions I thought it was easy.

Vocab

The word of the week this week is bolt. We got to chose which bolt we would do because there are different types of bolt. The bolt that I did means to go really fast.

Coding

Today our class did Tynker. We had to make lots of different shapes. We had to use the pen, move pixel  and change the colour.  We had to try to make a triangle, square and four squares for a challenge. I found looking for the right blocks easy. It was hard for me to make a triangle. It was very fun.

Vocab

The word of the week this week is cease. Cease means to stop something right away.

Week Six Vocab

Every week we  have a word of the week that  we have to write about. Our word this week is procrastinate and it means you do not do what you are meant to do then you do somethink else.

Embark - Vocabulary

We had to write what Embark means and put the word embark in a sentence. Next we had to make a picture.

Fishy Tales

     

I like this poem because it has rhyming words in it and it is funny.  It is about fish doing funny things. The book is called Fishy Tales.                         

Seeing Eye to Eye or Not

How do you play Bullrush? Why does Mr Beadle not like the kids playing Bullrush? Why did Lucy complain when her dad turned off the TV? What was Lucy's dad's opinion about why the TV needed to be turned off?

My favourite game is wink wink murder. I like going to the swimming pool.

Up Over The Tens

I have been learning to work out the number that is in the middle in the question. I had to show the first number in the question and then find the number in the middle of the question. I did this by using the total.

Cybersmart

We have been learning to be Cybersmart. We needed to write how to look after our chromebook. To keep your chrome book safe you have to shut your lid when you carry it. You need to be at the right place at the right time. Always shut done your chromebook when your done because someone could go on your account and write not nice comments on other peoples blogs.

Maths

I learnt what a rhombus is. The shapes in my picture are rhombus, squares, triangles, hexagon rectangles and a trapezium.

Up Over Tens

I was learning to use materials to show how I worked the a problem out. I learnt that 17 + ?= 24. I had to count on from 17 to 24 to work out the problem.

Art

First we got a big piece of paper. Then we dyed the paper. Then we had to let the paper dry. Then we wrote about ourselves. Then we had to get the writing printed off. Next we had to get a photo taken and we had to get our photo printed. Then we had to glue our photo and writing to the piece of paper. I think that I could work on cutting out the writing. I think that I did a good job at gluing my photo and writing on. I like dying the paper because you could chose which colour you wanted.

More or Less

I was doing one less, ten less, one more and ten more. I need to improve on how quickly I work the answer out.

Growing my Brain

I have been learning to grow my brain. I am going to say positive comments to myself when I am doing something that might be tricky for myself.
