Top Team Photos

Last Friday we went to Top Team. Top Team is  where different schools go to a school and do lots of team challenges. A team from our school got first place. Here are some photos of Top Team.

Little House on the Prairie Menu

We have been reading a book called Little House On The Prairie. There was a list of activities to chose from. One of the things I chose was to write the menu for the meals that the family were eating on the prairie, then write the menu that you would eat if you were going on a road trip and we had to say how they are different. Here is my slide show.

Little House On The Prairie

We have been reading a book called Little House On The Prairie. We had some activities to choose from. I chose to draw Ma doing the washing and also I drew Pet and Patty, the horses, on a different piece of paper. We had to add lots or detail and colour. Here are my drawings.

Plurals

My spelling group have been learning about plurals. We had to make a DLO about plurals.We would be successful when we had  explained what the word “plural” means, explained at least two rules and give an example in a sentence of words that have followed the rule. Here is my slide show

Descriptive Calf Writing

In room 5 we are learning to describe, we had to describe some Jersey calves. We would be successful when we have used the senses: see, hear, feel, touch, smell, used present tense, written a short introduction to introduce the description, and an ending, used a variety of precise, vivid adjectives, verbs and nouns used a variety of sentences - different beginnings, structures and lengths organised my writing into paragraphs. Here is my writing.

As I approach the wide grassy paddock, the milky brown  Jersey calves are staring at me. I am wondering if they want me to go in to see them or not. I make a decision, and creep into the paddock where the calves are staring at me like crazy. Suddenly there is a loud mroo! from one of the calves and I get a massive fright. As I recover I have a look at the calves, and I see that one on the left has a patch of white on its side. Another at the back is making an extremely funny face. It has its head pointing at the sky and I start to laugh.

Slowly the calves begin to move then they start to play around me. I think they realise I am not going to hurt them. They start sprinting around me like they want me to play, so I start to sprint around with them. I play with them for awhile until they start to get tired.

 Then the horrible smell of calf milk  sprints up my nose. Yuck! It reminds me what I came here to do. I pour a generous amount of warm calf milk into the trough. The calves immediately rush over and start slurping down the milk. Wow! Those calves must have been hungry.

I reach over and stroke one of the calves soft smooth fur as it is drinking.The raging sun is beating against my back so I stroll over to the branches of a big oak tree for shade. As I watch the calves run around and play the faint sound of tractor motors running fill my ears. I cannot wait to come back tomorrow and feed these cute Jersey calves.

Number Patterns

In our maths group we have been learning to recognise and continue number patterns. We had to make a DLO. On number patterns on our DLO we had to include a number pattern, we also had to explain how the number pattern works. Here is Hannah's and my DLO.

In room 5 we had to make a reading profile. On our reading profile we had to include how we went with our term 3 reading goals, our reading goals for this term, our favourite author or series  and are they the same as last term or not, a book we have read and enjoyed and  a book someone has recommended to me. Here is my reading profile

Pet Day Slide Show

In room 5 we had to make a pet day slide show. On our slide show we had to include our writing that we did for our pet projects. We could put some slides with some photos of pet day if we wanted.
