Wasp Nest

Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show the class. Here is my descriptive writing about the nest. We used our seven writing prompts that are shape, size, position, number, colour, texture and  doing to help us describe. Here is my writing.

Wasp Nest

Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show everyone . He had found it while picking raspberries in his garden.

The wasp nest is crumbly and dry and it still had a live wasp in it when we cut it open. Where the wasp had hatched you can see the cells are hexagon shaped. A cell is a place where a wasp would lay an egg. The outer shell of the nest feels like very thin, dry cardboard that is rough and jagged. The cells that are joined together are called combs which are joined together with mud that we call pillars. The wasp nest  feels like thin paper but is actually made out of wood from a fence or house. When we opened up the nest there were loads of dead wasps. They had also made the nest out of straw. The wasps built the nest around a rock. You can see the hole where the wasps would have came in and out from the nest. The cells look like the inside of a cardboard box. I accidently broke the nest but now we can see how its built. Now and then a wasp will hatch out of one of the cells and scare the whole class. The colour of the wasp nest is light brown. We left the wasp nest outside and more wasps hatched. It is shaped like a ball.  There are more than one hundred cells in the nest.

In conclusion I think that wasps are pests and I hate them!

How to be good Learners in Room 5

In class we made a shared slideshow and had one slide each to work on. We had to write down what would make us good learners in room 5.
Here is my slide.

Summer

In class we have been writing poems about our summer. We were inspired to write poems by MARCI RIDLON who wote a summer poem as well. We had to write the poem the same way MARCI RIDLON did which was called That was Summer. Here is my poem.

That was Summer

Remember that time

when your cat scratched you

cause it was scared of bubbles

in the bath

and stealing snacks

cause you were hungry?

Remember how the cat almost fell in the bath?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you ate ice cream

in the hot hot sun

and before you could finish it

it had melted into the ice cream cone?

Remember how it made your hands sticky?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you were camping

and there were loads of bugs

in your caravan floating round the lights

and at night it started to rain?

Remember how you got up in the morning

and you could smell the wet pavement?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you went on walks with your dad

and then you went to check the water pump

and it felt like you fell down the well?

Remember how hard it was seeing if the water was past the pump because the water was so blue?

That was summer.

Basket ball bounces

In class we are learning to do a statistical investigation on basket ball bounces in a minute. Here is  my drawing on how many basket ball bounces we could do in a minute. Our aim was to find how many basket ball bounces we could do in a minute.

My book review

In class we made a book review. We had to write why we like the book and the author. Here is my Book Review

Room 5 Jumps

In class we are learning to do a statistical investigation. This statistical investigation is about how many jumps we could do in a minute. My number of jumps was 50. Here is my DLO on what we had to do.

My Reading Profile

In class we had to make a Google drawing about our Reading Profile. Here is my drawing.
