Sustainability Art

Asher and I are making a recycled horse for art we made an I movie to show how it is going. In one of the slides it says protect and creators...but it is meant to say project and creators just a minor spelling error!

Narrative Writing

This term we have been focusing narrative writing.  Today we got told to make a six sentence story. For the first sentence we had to introduce the character.  In the second sentence we had to explain where and how they live.  The third sentence was where we had to describe what talent they had and how they were better than everyone else.  For the fourth sentence we had to introduce a problem to the story.  In the fifth sentence we had to figure out a solution to the problem.  The Sixth sentence was where we had to solve the problem and then have a happy ending. This is my story it is about a guinea pig called Pipsqueak.

1.	Once upon a time there was a guinea pig named Pipsqueak who was always doing something outdoors weather it was going on adventures or just doing something like gardening.
2.	She lived in an amazing old brick castle in the highlands of Scotland where the grass was green and and the forests were huge big enough for her to go on week long adventures.
3.	Pipsqueak could get out of any situation whether it was escaping deadly animals or getting out of sticky mud pools she was the best as what she did and there was no one better than her.
4.	Poor poor Pipsqueak after all her adventuring she had completely forgotten about all her family and friends because she was always on a deadly adventure she was never there when her family and friends visited her.
5.	Pipsqueak was very sad and she couldn't imagine what her family was feeling she decided she would try her hardest to get back together with her family because she had been gone for so long she forgot if she had any siblings or not.
6.	As soon as Pipsqueak got back to her castle she called her parents and family right away she thought that it was excellent timing that she was back on Christmas eve because the next day all her friends and family all met back up for a wonderful Christmas day.

Maths Reading Visualisation

In reading have been working on our comprehension strategies.  Last week we focused on visualisation - they way we can create mental images when we read to deepen our understanding of the text.  We read a short passage that explained how to measure a very tall object without having to climb it and we visualise how we would do this.

Yesterday we went out and put this knowledge into practice.  My buddy Karmi and I measured one of the poles on the playground.  Using the method we measured 3.49 meters.  The actual height was 4.27 meters.
