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.

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.

Chairs

Last Thursday we had Mrs Ealam and because we were learning about the plastic in the ocean last term, Mrs Ealam thought that we should recycle some old wooden chairs that were sitting in the shed and we did. We had to get into groups off four but we had to have the same sort of interest. My group chose nature. After we had chosen a theme we had to get lots off magazine images that suited our theme and then we had to cut them out. After that we had to wipe down our chair then we glued the magazine images onto the chair, we were not allowed to leave one bit of wood showing. After we had covered up all the wood, we had to cover all the magazine in ModPodge  glue then we let it dry and then we were finished.  I think my groups chair turned out  to look good. Here is my groups chair. If we did it again I would get some more birds that were flying.

School Holiday Maths Challenge

For the school holiday maths challenge, we had to do some maths  during the school holidays. We had to take a screenshot or photo of our maths. Then we had to make a slideshow on our slide show we had to include the maths we were learning, a screenshot of our maths and how successful
we were, Here is my slideshow.
