The Indian Ocean

In Reading, we were learning about different oceans. The oceans that we could pick from were the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. I chose the Indian Ocean. We had to research our Ocean and make a poster about it this is what my poster looks like.

Book Week

Book Week is an exciting and amazing week of fun. When it is Book Week in the library we get more new books that people can buy. There are lots of fun activities like creating a book cover, writing a story and more you can win and get a prize. But the best part of Book Week is definitely Friday. On Friday there is a book parade and you can dress up in a character of your choice. My friends and I were the Three Little Pigs. Book Week was so much fun!

Country Research

This week in room 5, we have been researching a country.  We had to research all types of things like the most popular sport, the country's leader and more. I researched France and this is what it looks like. 

Animal Poster

This week we have been working on posters of animals that we have researched.  We had to find out what their habitat, diet, looks, babies and extinction is.  The animal that I chose is the Dodo I enjoyed researching the dodo because it was a very interesting animal. I chose the Dodo because I didn't really know what it was but now I do. This is what my poster looks like.

Our Play

This week we practised a play and performed it to the whole class.  This play was about a car trip when their Grandma texts some crazy things to her family.  Here is a picture of me and my group performing it.

Animal Adaptations

In room 6 we have been making our own posters about adaptations. We all had to design our own bird with all the features that a bird has and put the meaning why they chose it.  we also had to do different activities on animal adaptations.   here is my poster

Beak science experiment

Pointed beak, flat beak and pelican beak are all the types of beaks we used for this discovery.But these things are also known as forceps, tongs and cups. First we learnt about the meanings of the words we need to know like, aim. Aim means trying to achieve something in the experiment we were trying to see what shape beak is the best for picking up food. And we learnt what will we change( the equipment), What we will measure ( the amount of food) and how we will keep it a fair test. The way we can make it a fair test by having a nice steady surface, by having the same person doing each type of food also by having the same amount of time of 30 seconds. We had an amazing time experimenting with rice, peppercorns, gummy worms and skittles and after we got to eat LOLLIES. Thank you Miss Down for this amazing experiment.

 

Figurative Language

Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification. These are all language features which we call figurative language. In reading we have been learning about these language features and how authors used them in their writing to make their work engaging and add interest for their audience. We made posters either with paper pencils or flowers with examples Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification.

Inspirational Heros

During Reading we have been researching people who have faced challenges and stood up for what they have believed in.  They have either been a voice for those that don’t have one or are a person who never gave up when facing challenges.

My person is: Martin Luther King Jr

Come visit Room 6 to check out my flip presentation of  Martin Luther King Jr.

Growth Mindset

“It’s okay to not know but it’s not okay to not try”

To me, this mindset means:

To never give up and it’s fine to get things wrong

I could, use this mindset when:  

If I start to find things hard in school work
