"Patterns In Nature"


This is a reading task about patterns in nature. The photos are patterns of Animals,Patterns,Plant Patterns and Patterns in the landscape. My reading group had to go on the Internet and find pictures of patterns. It was fun because I liked searching for cool photos for my reading task.

Peace Senses Poem



I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.
I am so proud of being able to describe what Peace feels like, tastes like and sounds like.
It can be tricky to describe what I am thinking and feeling.
My buddy can help me by giving me some ideas.
The next step for me in my learning is to write another Peace Poem.

"Here We Go"

“Here We Go” By Reece
Its 3:45am. I was crammed into a rowing boat like sardines in a can. I was terrified. I was loading my gun up. All I heard was BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I did not like it, not one little bit. It was very hard to see where I was. The only light that I could see was the moon.

I was nervous.  I didn’t want to die. My arms were shaking and I had butterflies in my tummy. Sweat was dripping down my neck like it was raining. All around me I heard soldiers screaming and dying.

From the start. I wanted to go to war because I thought it would be an awfully big adventure. But now I wish I never came to war because I am now about to die…….

Reflection
I am learning to write an interesting recount.
I am so proud of making my recount interesting by using similes and adjectives.
It can be tricky to find the best similes to use in this story.
My buddy can help me by checking my work.
The next step for me in my learning is to write an even better recount.

Peace One Day

Screen Shot 2014-09-23 at 9.41.45 AM.png

As part of  our Inquiry work on Peaceful Communities we have been  learning about World Peace Day  on September 21st. On Friday 19th September we held a Taster Shared Lunch with Rooms  19 and 22.   We  had to bring in a small sample of a food that we might eat at home as a family favourite  or a food from our culture.  This helps us to learn about each other’s cultures and about tolerance of others.

Percentages & Fractions Problem

Percentages and Fractions Reflection

I am learning to solve problems by using my understanding of the equivalence between percentages and fractions.

I am so proud of being able to work out percentage and fraction problems by myself.
It can be tricky to work out the answer.
My buddy can help me with this problem.
The next step for me in my learning is to do a Stage 7 question by myself.
