Line Symmetry

At the moment in room five we  have been learning about two dimensional shapes and so we have had to do a Screencastify on it. We have had to add in our Screencastify some shapes we have been learning about and talk about them and also why they are called this shape. So here is a Screencastify on two dimensional that me, Haylee and Amelia have made. Hope you enjoy it. 

Trapped

In room five we have been learning how to describe this picture of this little turtle stuck in this net. We have had to describe about the turtle and what will happen next and in our writing we have had to of used present tense, our senses and extend our sentences by adding more detail. So here is my writing called Trapped. 

As tears run down my face I can see a dark green turtle struggling to get free from a slimy green net, huddled away in  beside a big rock on the sandy seashore. What do I do? I say to myself in sadness. Do I set it free? Or is this just the end of the turtles life? Then I think to myself, I need to save this poor turtles life because it deserves to stay alive. Because it is a living creature just like us.

I feel angry and disgusted about this net wrapped around this little turtle who deserves to be free and in the water.  We have tried to ban plastic but it just keeps on coming in and is taking over our lives. What are we going to do? Well, anyway I keep trying to get this little turtle free from this slimy green net and then I rip through it until the turtle is set free and it goes back in the nice water.

Then I think because of what has happened to this turtle being stuck in a net over night we should do something about it and do a big beach clean up so this doesn’t happen again and even if we just clean up the beach it will still make  a big change to the world and to the sea creatures.

The Mountain of Plastic

At the moment in room five we have been writing about plastic pollution because we want it to stop. We have chosen this picture to write about and we have had to use present tense, our senses and we also need to extend our sentences by adding more detail, in order to have a successful piece of writing. Here is my writing about the Plastic Mountain. Hope you enjoy my piece of writing. 

As I gaze over the bridge I see mountains of green and transparent plastic bottles with labels covered all over the ground ready for me to sort out. 

I then start to work. I feel like I am about to swim in a sea of plastic bottles and then I push through the bottles and sniff up a whiff of rubbery fumes from the cars that come past along with some of the bottles. Then I start to smell sugary sickening smells coming from bottles that still have a little fizzy drink in them. 

As I am cutting off the labels I look out over the plastic mountain and see sights of baskets, plastic and more plastic smothered with dirt and then look over my shoulder and see my mum coming and I stop  daydreaming and get back to work. 

We are then half way through the day and I am already getting tired and fed up because of all the plastic coming in and all of the work I have to do to get rid of it. I then throw a bottle into the basket and it doesn’t go in. I then pick it up and get all of my anger out by squeezing the bottle and then I lie down and take a rest from all of this madness. 

I am putting a bottle in the  white crinkly sack and as I am doing that I hear the sound of crunching and rustling noises under my feet. I am getting more annoyed about all of the plastic we have to sort out. I just wish we were out there playing with the other kids but we can’t because we need the money for us to survive.

So I carry on this hard work and think to myself as I am doing this will plastic ever be banned forever or will our lives be full of plastic and we never get a rest from this madness? But one thing I know for sure is that I will  always be doing something to survive 

When the Author Jenny Sommervell came to school.

Yesterday in room five we had the author Jenny Sommervell come to our school to share with us her story of how she became an author. The information  that Jenny shared with us was how she got the ideas for her stories and who illustrated her books. Some of the books that Jenny has writen are, The Day Dad Blew Up The Cowshed, The Eel Hunt and The New Old Truck . She is working on a new one now about her uncle's stinky leg. Here is a photo about the author when she came.

Plastic Invasion

At the moment in room five we have been writing about plastic and what plastic is made out of so we have had to describe the Plastic Toy Shop. In our writing we have had to put in  present tense , use my senses, precise nouns and adjectives so that we have a successful piece of writing. So we wanted to write about plastic because we want it to stop because it is having a big impact on the environment. So here is my writing about the plastic toy  shop.

Plastic Invasion

I creep into the plastic kingdom and feel a pop of neon coloured toys surrounding me in every step I take. The sounds of faded whispers at the back of the shop with the clicking of the keys from the keyboard are getting on my nerves.

 Plastic, it’s everywhere! As I walk some more and glance up a crowd of yellow ducks are invading the shelves from top to bottom and hanging on the wall beside me are swarms of plastic guns with more and more toys everywhere.

I then sniff up a whiff of rubber toys and start to go dizzy but then recover and step in the middle of the neon coloured  toys and then look behind me and see an employee trying to convince me that plastic is good but I refuse to even touch one then all of the plastic collapses on top of me and it is like swimming in a sea of plastic I can no longer get out of the shop I feel disgusted about all of this plastic. It needs to stop! So let’s get to work.

Showing Sentences

At the moment in room five we have been writing some showing sentences not telling sentences  . What we had to do was pick out one we liked and write about it and I have picked The sea was rough  and we would have to show the meaning of the sentences and not tell it that's why we have done a sentence about it because, The sea was rough is a telling sentence not showing . So here is my showing sentence. Hope you enjoy.


The sea was rough.

The dark gloomy grey waves crashed angrily into the rocks with a big dark black cloud whirling along in the evening sky with a boat crashing along the dark grey waves sinking deeper into the water. 

How to solve Batman's problem

At the moment in room five we have been doing a Storybyte on Batman and what we had to do about him was solve his problem of him not wanting to fight crime at night and just stay at home. So here is my solution of fixing Batman's problem. Hope you enjoy.

Line of Symmetry

On Friday in room five were doing some line symmetry for our maths. What we had to do was get a piece of paper and fold it in half and then get a ruler and draw a shape with it and then cut it out.  When it is cut out it will have a line through the middle of it and that is the line of symmetry and that halves it, and then we would draw a line with a pencil through the line of symmetry to show were it is. The sided shapes  that we made were three sided shapes, four sided shapes and more than that. So here is one that  Haylee,  Zoe I have made. Hope you enjoy.

Reading Profile

At the moment in room five we have been making a reading profile on the book that we have been reading and other books that we have tried to read instead of the one we have been reading at the moment. The book in was reading was the Island of Lost Horses and it was very good. So here is one i have created myself.

At the moment in room five we have been making a Reading Profile. What we had to put in it was what book we were reading and I am reading the Island of Lost Horses, and the book we have been recommended to read and also our goals we are working on this term. So here is my Reading Profile I have created myself.
