Word Art

In class for homework we made an origami box out of paper. We have been writing positive words about our friends and then we put it in their box. We then took all of the words out of our box and made word art about ourselves.

Cricket

On Tuesday 27th of November we had a guy called Paddy come in and teach us about cricket. 
We learnt new skills about cricket and was able to get out of the classroom for some fitness. My favourite part was being able to hit the ball. Here are some photos, Enjoy!

Knights

In class on Wednesday we had a new teacher called Mrs Meikle. We learnt about knights. We  were learning about what they do and how they lived. I made a slideshow with my buddy Miro. Enjoy =)

Wringer

In class we have been reading a book called "Wringer" written by Jerry Spinelli. We all wrote about a scene from the book then pulled names out of a hat, the persons script that got chosen was the one that was recorded. We choose more then one script so we were all in groups. My groups script was written by Bethiney, it is when all of the boys were throwing snowballs at Dorothy and she didn't react to them.
Next time I would like to describe the scene more by adding in more dialogue.

Pet day

In class we are learning to write a information report. For Pet Day we had to write a information report about our pet. It had to to include the breed of the pet what it eats, what it drinks, and where it sleeps.
Next time I would like to find out more about my pet and also try to describe my pet more.

Holiday Reading

In the spring holidays for reading we had to make a google drawing and find a sentence in the book that we are reading the describes the feelings of a character. We had to include the author, the page number of the book where we found the sentence and the name of the book. Here is my drawing.
