Quick Write

WALT: Write a interesting sentences to describe.

It was finally the day, he couldn't take it anymore. SICK, SAD and MISSING HIS FAMILY. The expression on his face showed he needed to go back to where he belonged. I knew I would miss him as the brown spots that looked like collage art, made me feel safe. He has amazing black eyes, long legs and a fluffy brown tail. He was getting too big for our house, he had eaten all the grass, and had nowhere warm to sleep. It is too tough for him and not fair. I wish I could keep him but his legs were too long, he had grown too big.

Obviously Mum said we couldn’t keep him. Mum said it was a long walk and I had to keep pulling him because he was so tired. In the distance I saw his Mum, Dad and his sisters and brothers waiting for him. I told him his family was waiting for him but then he looked even sadder.  He realised that he couldn’t have both of us. Just through the fog I could see the shadows of his family. I was about to cry and then…. I couldn't take it anymore I was making a lake of tears I was sooooo sad.

I had to climb on his back to untie the rope. This was the worst day of my life. I would never forget him, I would never replace him. Goodbye my old friend.

Today I finished my writing on a giraffe. We got a photo to write about, we could choose what type of writing we would like to do however we had to include some description. Here is my writing it was sort of hard to get started and think what might have happened before this photo however I like doing this writing. Here is the photo that we got to write about. I hope you like it, thanks Millah.

Fractions

This term we have been learning about fractions.  For this activity we had to choose a fraction and then show our fraction in different ways.  

I found this task challenging but this made me think especially when I got to the number line because Mrs Prendergast said we didn't have to write the right numbers. This tricked me.  

My next learning step for fractions is to do this independently and also to solve word problems that use this knowledge.

What makes a Fairy Tale?

WALT: Identify features of a fairy tale and locate them in the library.

For this activity we had to find a fairy tale in our library. It took us a while to figure out where they are found in a library.  This is because first we looked in the fiction section because they are made up story however they are actually found in the non fiction section.
After that we had to make a google drawing that tells the reader what a makes a fairy tale. The main thing we had to include was: Where would you find a fairy tale using the Dewey decimal system and identifying features of a fairy tale.

I found this activity fun because we had to look around in the library instead of just looking up on your Chromebook.  

Billy Goat Gruff

For this task we had to draw the setting map of the billy goat gruff. First we had to identify the different settings in the story, then we drew a map showing each of the settings. After this we had to create a key for our map to explain what all the locations in the story were and what order they came up. 

I found this activity fun because you had to draw that map of your reading group story. For me this task was easy because you only had to draw the map and label the different parts.

Next time I would add more detail in my picture and get it more realistic.

 This writing went good and it was also fun.

This task was ... Fun and a interesting way to describe your favourite teddy or thing.
I found this task a bit easy because you had to make sure you has some FANBOYS and
lots of describing words.

How I went with the W.A.L.T ... I think I did okay after going back about 3 times.  The FANBOYS I used are, and & but

How many FANBOYS can you find in my writing?
