  1. What challenged you the most and Why?

    Georgia. She has always had a faster freestyle stroke than me but I did catch up and touch the wall in less than half a second.

    After the races Georgia both hi-fived each other and I helped the smaller kids get ready and get the chant going.

Cottontail

Cottontail is a small brown baby bunny with a white tail. He is very cute. Cottontail is a wild bunny but he sleeps in our hut and eats carrots. He likes to come out and have a lot of attention you can be 3 steps away and he will stay where he is.

He is very cute and one day sent us a letter it read...


To my new friends!

Thank you for all the carrots and the hut you built for me!

Could you leave more carrots?

Thanks Cottontail

I decided to send him a letter back so I put it in the hut and found it gone!


Edit

We are learning to edit here is our WALT!


We had to find a post that we could make better. I have chosen the post below. I think that this post could have my working out as well as the answers. I think that my audience would like to see that here is my old post.


What do you think that I could do better at to improve this post leave a comment. Here is the new post that I think is better...

Syllables

Today we did a project on sorting words into groups. I decided to sort mine into syllables. Here are my facts!

I found out that in this book only has one, one syllable word! I also found out that 3 is the most common. We came up with some thoughts about this.

Is It This Book That Has A Lot Of 3 Syllables?

Is IT SOMETHING ALL WRITERS DO?

Douse it have something to do with the level of the book



We think that one of these are our answer and we are waiting to find out more! Meanwhile this is what I have been doing! Look closely at all of the rows and words. What group would you sort them into?

3 Simple steps

Here are the 3 simple steps you need to know to get this question right!

Step one.

The question. Look at your question carefully read it a few times.


389 + ? = 600

Step 2.

The strategy . Use the strategy below to get the answer. The strategy is just making tidy numbers.

+ 1 = 390 + 10 = 400 + 200 =


Tidy numbers are any numbers that end with 0. 

It may be helpful to under line the number that you have added.



Step 3.

The answer. The last step is to put all the numbers we added together you may want to underline the numbers we added. Look at how the under lined numbers relate to the answer.

= 211!

Two stars and a wish

W.A.L.T: To Evaluate our learning honestly


* My Star is that I think I did well at learning about genre in the library i found out that my favourite genre is fantasy. I am proud of this.





* I am also proud of getting to all of my work shops on time and helping others get to theres. I think that the noise level was much better than last week!





My wish is that all the rooms can be a silent as room 11 I think that this is a great goat to work towards to because it is important for everyone to have a silent working space. I can help by reminding people and not talking my self!









Catch me if you can

In catch me if you can we are learning about attacking and defense. We played a game called the 3 billy goats gruff. The goats had a ball and the trolls defend. The goats have to pass the ball up to the line that the trolls stood behind.

Then after the goats have passed the line the trolls have to try intercept them. What a fun game!


Math codes

Today we are using the code below to find the answers to the questions. As you may be able to see he z is the highest number and A is the lowest. This is because the numbers get higher as the Alphabet goes on.


Here is my working out!











My name is: 32

The word is: Writing

The most expensive county is: The United States Of America

The least expensive country is: Ched

Smart goals

These are my SMART goals for reading and maths.


My maths goal is to... Recognise different symetrical shapes
The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because...  Maths is not my strong spot I do not find it as fun as the other subjects.
I will accomplish my goal by... Making it fun pretending it is something else and seeing it in a different way.



My reading goal is to... To read a variety of books on the same theme and notice the similarities and differences between them.
The reason I have decided to focus on this goal is because... It is something I am hoping to achieve within  this term.
I will accomplish my goal by... Working not only in class but any where I am!

Two stars and a wish

We are doing a reflection called "Two Stars And A Wish" The two stars are things that you did well during the week and the wish is what you could get better at. We reflected on our learning.

W.A.L.T... Evaluate our learning honestly.


Here is mine!

  • Believe in ourselves,
  • Take risks in our learning,

  • Strive for excellence,
  • Take responsibility for our learning,

Reflective Questions to answer:

I like the belive in yourself because courage is rare if you make it rare. I half Disagree with “just practice” Only Perfect Practice make Perfect!




  1. Which agreements will you find easy to follow? Why?

Risk taking I do it every day whether it is in sport or science.

  1. Which agreements will you find difficult to follow? Why?


To work in unity I like doing stuff by myself.

My art

We are learning to create a piece of art using pastels a photo and black paper.

First we had to take a photo of ourselves in an interesting pose. Then we traced our photos  onto the black paper. After that we cut it out. Next we started to create swirly block of colour using the pastels. We made sure that the  blocks of colour joined in the middle. Once we had topped that we glued on out black shape pencil side down.

Have a look!
