The Plastic Mountain

In room five we did some writing about picture of a plastic mountain. We had to include sights, sounds, feelings and sensations. Here is my writing.

                The Plastic Mountain
As I walk through what feels like a plastic rubbish dump I feel and hear the different coloured plastic bottles crinkling underneath my muddy feet. The  disgusting smell of garbage goes rushing up my nose.
 I pick up a green plastic bottle filled with  soggy mud. Mum  sorts out all the plastic bottles and puts them in giant woven baskets. Behind me there is a gigantic muddy pile of plastic bottles and bags. Dad and my brother are sorting out the clear plastic bottles.

 I am feeling sad for all the marine life that this horrid plastic is killing.  I turn around I see more plastic spilling from the bridge above us. I am wondering what will happen to all this plastic. Will it go into the ocean and ruin the fishes and the homes of other marine life?

 

Author Visit

On Tuesday 28th of August, Jenny Sommervell  came to our school. She talked about  The Day Dad Blew Up The Cow shed and The Eel Hunt She  also read them to us.I learnt the life cycle of eels. Here are some photos of her visit.

Line Symmetry

In room five for maths, we had to fold a square piece of paper in half, and then we had to draw straight lines, with a ruler from the fold, then we had to cut the shapes out.  Then we had two halves of the shape and in the middle was the line of symmetry. We sorted the shapes by four sides, three sides, and more than four sides.The line of symmetry divides a shape in two.  Here is my groups work.

Reading Profile

At the start of the term we had to make a reading profile on a google drawing or slideshow. We had to include what book we are reading ,who your favourite authors are, your reading goals, how you went with your reading goals from last term, and a new book you have tried and enjoyed. Here is mine.

Fractions

In room five we are learning our fractions, so we did some fraction art. We had to trace circles  onto different coloured paper and  cut them out then  we folded them into fractions and cut them out. Then we made sea creatures with the fractions. For example I used a half, three sixteenths, and three eighths for my red jellyfish. Here is my fraction art.

Holiday Reading
