ANZAC reading activities

The past 3 weeks I have been working on ANZAC activities. I had to do poetry and I did my own 'Jack and Tom' animation. I also wrote my own poem. I learn about the nurses in the war and thought they travelled a lot. I found it difficult trying to think what to say in my poem. Please have a read and I hope you enjoy my work!

My timetable for this term!

This is my timetable for this term and for next week. This term's goal is to self manage and run our own timetable. This links in with our school value this term of Enthusiastic Learners. It is important to learn to manage our own time so we can do it better when we are older. What do you think? Any tips for me?

100 word challenge

In class, we have been working on something called the 100 word challenge, It is where we have to write a story that has exactly 100 words in it. We are doing this because it helps us improve our vocabulary. This week my story is called 'the stairway to the sky'
Hope you enjoy,  


The stairway to the sky
I was lost in the forest and then suddenly I saw a very bright light. I walked towards the bright light and when I came closer then I saw a golden staircase and It led up to the sky so I started to walk up...
When the staircase ended, I figured I was in the sky. It was so bright It took me about five minutes to get used to the brightness. I walked around and I saw a very big lion with a bright shiny golden main. Then there was a dark tunnel I decided to go through it.

Top ten ways to look After a Chromebook

Last term we had to make a movie about how to look after your chromebook. We need to look after our chromebooks because most of the work we do is on chromebooks so we don't want to break them. I like to use ReadWrite to read out my writing that I've done. I like the site Night Zookeeper because it's creative and it encourages me to write more. Enjoy the video!

Is the story True or False?

On monday,

We had to write a school holiday report,

And I wrote this:

The Hill

I had sore knees.  I had just fell off a really steep hill.  My knees were bruised.  I was in so much pain. I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I had to go home early. I was at a friend’s house and she has this really steep hill that she likes to run down. So we had a competition. The competition was, ‘who can run down the hill the fastest?’ I was winning until…

The problem was that I was going too fast. So I fell and started to roll down the hill. I was going so fast that I was going to be sick. I heard my friend calling out to me, “do you need help?” “Yes!” I replied. But by the time I had  said that, I was very close to the ground.

Then I hit the ground. I felt dizzy, and sick. My mum took me home. I was really lucky that my brother wasn’t with me. If he was, then he would have been so annoying! Once I arrived home, I sat down on the couch and watched T.V. When my brother returned home, I didn’t tell him anything.

But he saw the bruises on my knees, and he asked, “what happened to your knees?” “Nothing!” I yelled. If I did tell him, then he would of started being annoying. Mum did’nt know that I was hiding it from my brother, so she told him. And that’s when it started.

What do you think? Is it true or false?

Van Gogh's Starry Night Painting.

Over the past six weeks, we have been learning about van Gogh's painting called ‘A Starry Night’. We cut up his painting into 6 pieces and we chose a piece each. It was only the Year sixes. I painted a bit with stars and a moon at night. We used van Gogh’s techniques like using small swirly strokes to make the sky look windy and swirly. I chose a medium sized brush to make my painting look like his. The painting was a picture of a nighttime sky with a little village and a big black curvy mountain. I used a sponge brush to use the night sky then the swirly bits on top. I had lots of fun doing MY unique painting. :-) We used SOLO to describe our thinking. My thinking is Multistructural because I can describe several things about van Gogh’s painting skills. My next step is to describe several things about van Gogh paintings and explain why I used this skill in this way.

Maths with friends.

A few weeks ago,
I did a times table puzzle with
Bree and Evie. It was based on the three times tables,
we completed it in 10 minutes, and enjoyed doing it together.
