Shapes

In room five we have been learning about two dimensional shapes in maths time. I was in a group with Amelia and Tahila we did a screencastify.  

Plastic Mountain

In room 5 we are learning about plastic. The reason why we are learning about plastic is because it is destroying our sea and sea animals. The turtles think plastic are jellyfish and like to eat it and it kills them.

Plastic Bottle Mountain

I gaze around on the ground and stare at  thousands of bottles underneath the bridge, I have been working and working non-stop. I flop down on all the bottles and I can see lots of different neon colours and brands, like fizzy drinks and soft drinks. I gaze at a sharp pointy grey knife that Mum is holding which she uses to cut the labels off the bottles and put them in the right basket. Six hours of boredom. “Can we go home now?” I ask.

The whole plastic mountain smells like a rotten egg. It is so disgusting I can’t breathe. I pick up a slimy bottle and I throw it in one of the big bags and it bounces off the bottom of the bridge. There are big bags of plastic bottles “I am never going home” I say to myself.          

Author Visit

Room five and six had an author visit from Jenny Sommervell. She wrote books that were based on a true story. She writes books about her life like when she wrote The eel hunt and the The day dad Blew up the Cow Shed. When she was a little girl on the way back home on the bus she liked to write books on the bus and make up stories. Jenny read us two of her books that we have in our school library.  

 

 

Symmetry

In room 5 we were doing symmetry in maths time. In maths time we were learning about fractions. The line of symmetry makes the whole split in half through the middle. We had make sure the sides of the shapes were even on each side. I was in a group with Zoe and Tahila and this is what we created.

My Reading Profile

In room 5 we all had to create our own reading profile. We had to create  a drawing to show what we want to do in term 3. This is my drawing
