Cement in a cup

Walt: Make 3D art

For the last few weeks room 7&8 have been doing cement in a cup for art. It was a fun experience. My favorite part was putting the cement into the cup. I would love to take it home.

Puns/Play with words

WALT: Understand/find 2 meanings to puns

Used 2 pictures

1. Mr Hendricks. Real meaning
2. Picture-sport    fun- draw eyes on the ball

Own-TV-family

In class we are learning about puns/play with words. As you can see we have two photos “eyes by me” and “keep your eyes on the ball”. Mrs Ramokolowan our teacher told us we could draw eyes on the picture so we all did. Eyes by me means look at  me and be quite, and keep your eyes on the ball mean focus on the ball.  

Shorty's dream

WALHT: Write a interesting and enjoyable narrative

It was just one hot summer day. The sun was hot like a heater. Alex wasn’t a normal boy he couldn’t do things like other people because he was to small. Alex had brown eyes and short black straight hair. Alex loved all things that had to do with danger even though he was small. All Alex had wished for was to be big. He was in the alleyway until something caught his attention.

“I wonder what it would be like to be big?” Alex kept repeating to himself. Alex had used all his 11:11,birthday wishes and shooting star wishes to be big. While Alex was walking he overheard two big,buff and scary men with stubbles talking, they sounded as if  they were mad like a roaring car luckily they didn’t notice him. The two men were planning to kidnap someone. Alex couldn’t believe it but he knew he wasn’t just going to leave like he didn’t hear anything. He will come back tomorrow afternoon.

Alex  went walking again down the alleyway hoping he wouldn’t be seen by the two big men. Minutes later Alex heard a van pull up and men running out like a tsunami was coming. *Moment of darkness*, Alex woke up strapped to a chair next to another person. His hands were sweating like he's been running for hours,heart pounding like beat drops and kept stuttering. He didn’t want to die.

While Alex was strapped to the chair he felt a little weird like something was happening to his body, he started to get a headache. *Boom* the chair broke and he was growing bigger. The two big,buff and scary men tried to wrap the rope around his legs. He grabbed the other person and went away. However Alex took the two men to the police station. Alex loved being tall although he couldn’t get in his house.

He was too big, he started shrinking and shrinking. “AHHHH” shrieked Alex “ ohhh thank god that was just a dream”.

Prototec Basic Facts

Today for basic facts I did stage 8 and I got 85%.  I thought it really hard when I first started but then Shanelle taught me how to do it and I understand it a little better. But I still need to learn how to simplify big fraction numbers and fraction size.

Happy Mother's Day

The 4 operations

WALHT: Use the order of operation-BEDMAS to solve problems.

This online activity was a practise to see if we understood BEDMAS. I didn't find it easy I found it quite hard because I don't have a full understanding of how to work it out. I want to keep learning BEDMAS so I can do it mentally in my head.

Memories with my mum

Memories with my mum.

I love my mum. She is the best and I wouldn’t trade her for anything. My mum always helps me when I am stuck or when I don’t understand anything she will make sure I do. If there is something from school she will help me even if she doesn’t understand it completely because that’s how much she cares about my education. My mum always comes to my school events and encourages me a lot to try new things. My mum has sacrificed a lot for me, even when she is mad at me she still takes care of me. When she is sick she still cooks me something to eat.

The best memory with my mum was when I first saw her.
