Writing (Girl and Giraffe)

WALT: Write an interesting sentences to describe

Another thing we did for writing this week was to describe and make a story from a photo. I chose to write a narrative and include my descriptive sentences in the story. 

I think I had a good hook to get the audience interested in reading my writing. My next learning step is to use simile and metaphor to describe.

How many adjectives can you find in my writing?

It needed to happen. He couldn’t take it anymore. He needed to go home. I had had him every day since I can remember.

I love him but he is getting too big for the house. You can’t replace a dude like him, with his big black eyes, black spots, long legs, and his ratty tail, that can’t be forgotten. My mum said I had to him take home I told her he was home with me. Me and him both knew we would never see each other again. I had to walk him down to his habitat my mum had no car. Taking him home was the worst thing that ever happened to me. The grass wet and cold I packed him a blanket so he would remember my smell. We walked and walked to where supposedly his family was living on the way. I told him stories of what it would be like with his family, it was almost like he was listening to me. After a while we found his mother and father eating leaves. When we first seen them, his eyes widened. I took off his lead and let him go. I was bawling! I knew I would miss him but it was the right thing to do.

Fraction Think Board


WALT: Read, write and show fractions in different ways.

For maths we were doing a Fraction think board were you chose
a fraction and then showed it in different ways. I liked this activity,
although I found the number line a little hard because I could not
figure out where to start my number line at. My next learning step is
to learn how to solve word problems involving fractions.






Thank you for looking at my blog post 😀😀

Setting Map

WALT: Identify and describe settings within a story

Also this week for writing each group got a fairy tale and we had to draw the a map showing the setting for each main event in the fairy tale. Then we had to label them from 1~6 showing the order each setting appeared in the story. I liked this activity even though I can't draw because it was a different way to show our learning. My group is working on the fairy tale The 3 Billy Goat's Gruff.

What Makes a Fairy Tale?

This week when we were at the library we were looking at what makes a fairy tale and finding a fairy tale in the library. I found looking for and fairy tale hard because we were looking in the fiction section when they were actually in non fiction. Here is what I think a fairy tale is. Next time I could put more on where they are. I liked this activity because it was hands on.

Mysteries - The Loch ness Monster

We have been very busy this week, here is a small snippet of what we have been doing.

We have been looking at different myths and theories. One of them was the Loch Ness monster. We got a paragraph of a description of the Loch Ness monster then we had to draw what we think she looks like and  here is my work...

WALT: Identify keywords that help us visualise when we read.





Then we had to choose a topic word that has to do with Nessie (loch ness monster) I picked the word murky here is what I did....

WALT: Understand and use new vocabulary





WALT: Read for information and summarise in our own words

Our class has also been investigating our own mysteries.  We are using this web site called wonderopolis where you can ask random questions and they will show you the explained answer. Here was my question and answer for this week.

My Treasure

My treasure
WALT: Use conjunctions to join our ideas together
WALT: Include descriptive detail



In this activity we also had to do FANBOYS if you don't know what FANBOYS are they are   conjunctions (for and nor but or yet so) - they are the fanboys. Have a look and see if you can find three FANBOYS in my writing and comment them down below

This task was took a lot of time but it ended out to be great.

How I think I went with the WALT was It was a little tricky at first but I got the hang of it.

Overall this activity was very interesting and a little tricky  

Bye for now 👍😀😁
