Show Don't Tell

WALT makes inferences about a character's feelings.

This week we read a story called Timo and his shorts. It was about this boy called Timo and he got some new shorts so he can go for a swim at school with his friends. Then he had a big problem when he got to the changing shed to get changed but his shorts were gone.

I found it easy to talk about Timo’s face,body,and voice.

I really enjoyed talking about Timo’s reactions and feelings and what he might be thinking.

epro 8

 During this week my class did this rotation thing everyday after morning tea. Yesterday my class did epro 8 and in my team was Dallas,Ezekiel,Devontae, and me. When the teacher gave us the instructions we had to build a dog kennel. We were learning about e pro 8 and how to build the dog kennel.

First, my team and I had to think what we had to do with the floor and then tried to make the legs so our dog house could stand properly.

Secondly, when my team was building we were in front of everyone because we were on criteria three and the dog house was nearly taller than me.

Finally, when the build was done we had to break the whole thing down and put the parts in their correct spots.  

I found it easy to grab the nuts and bolts and give them to Dallas.

I found it hard to put the parts together.

I really enjoyed building the dog house with my team.

Next time I need to be more understanding so my team knows what I'm saying.

Acrostic poem

 During week 1 my class and I went into lockdown. We had to do online school work and we had to do our work at home. It was boring because we had no cross country to do.

In the first week of lockdown I was getting bored. I couldn't wait to go to school but we got stuck in a lockdown for a few weeks and carried on with online school.

Second, while we were in lockdown I always tried to do something to entertain myself so me, my mum and my sister went for a walk down to The Aerodrome. Then we walked down there for six kilometers. When we got back I checked my chromebook to see if I had class but it took me one minute to find out that I had no class.

Finally: Now we are in Level two I can go back to school to see my friend’s.

We were learning about an Acrostic poem.

I found it easy to write while I was in lockdown.

I found it hard to put language features in my writing.

I really enjoyed doing online school so the can explain how we can improve my writing

Next time I need to do more work for maths and reading so I can move the little man up into the air.

Why should recess should go for longer

Recess should go for longer. Because if you go outside you can get fresh air. You can have more time to play and eat.You can also miss some school work.

Firstly, fresh air can make you work better and makes your brain stronger. It is a well known fact that you learn more when your brain is refreshed and it can function better so you're ready to learn. 

Secondly, if recess goes for longer you can play soccer, basketball, and handball. So you can play, get more exercise to get fit and practice your skills. 

Lastly,if you don’t like school work then this is why recess should go for longer because if it goes for longer you will miss a lot of school work and do your work only for an hour.

This is why I strongly recommend that recess should be longer because I can play for longer and I can miss a lot of work and you can play and get more exercise.

Clickety-Clack Cicada

 

We have been learning about language features during Literacy. The way we have been doing this is by reading and understanding poems. 

Some of the features I identified in the poems are metaphors, verbs, onomatopoeia, and adjectives. 

This week we read Clickety-Clack Cicada by Jill Brasell. 

I found it easy to identify some of the language features such as metaphors.

I found it hard to locate the nouns because it is an area I think I need to work on more.

I really enjoyed learning about metaphors because they make the story more interesting and help to create an image in our mind about what the author is trying to tell us.

Next time I need to work on discussing the poem more and sharing my ideas.
