Pet Day

In our school it has just recently been Pet Day.  Pet Day is a day when everyone brings their pet to school. They get their poster judged and then they get judged with their pet. For the people that have the best marks they get a prize. After Pet Day room 5 had to make a slide show, and put our writing on with  some photos.

Here is my slide show.

Reading Profile

In class every term we make new reading profiles. We have to include  our favourite book author, last terms reading goal, this terms reading goals, and our favourite book series.
Here is my reading profile.😆😆

Our Hunting Chair

The other day room five and six had a task to decorate some old wooden chairs that have been sitting in the back of the school shed for a while. Jackson and I were in a group and our theme was hunting. First of all we had to clean all the dust of the chairs, then we had to find some pictures of our theme in a magazine and cut them out. After that we had to glue all the pictures on with PVA glue, then we had to seal the chairs with non toxic ModPodge glue. I think the hardest part was finding the pictures because there weren't many hunting pictures in the magazines. I think that Jackson and I worked well because we didn't start up a big argument about where that picture should go, or, "Change that picture, it looks ugly!"
Here is our chair.😄
 

Reading challenge

Hello! Fellow bloggers. In the holidays we had to find a sentence in a book that we read which describes the characters feelings. We also had to make sure we had the author of the book, the title of the book, the page number and a picture that relates to the sentence. Here is mine:)😆

Collage

Collage
In  class during topic we have been working on a collage which was based on plastic. We had to watch a video about plastic and on how bad it is for the  environment. We had to made our collage so it had a lot of impact and caught everyone's eye. We think our group worked well together and we think we did an even amount of work each on our collage . We thought that finding the colours like yellow, blue, grey and pink out of the magazine was the hardest part. We also think that we caught everyone's eyes.

Persuasive letter

 In class during  writing  we have been learning to do  persuasive writing. We had to persuade  our principal to stop using plastic bin liners for the classroom bins. We had to make sure that we had three reasons why we think we don't need plastic bin liners. We also had to make sure that we started  our paragraphs with firstly, secondly and finally. Here is my writing.

Dear Mrs Wallace

At Awahono School we use a lot of plastic bin liners a year.  I think we should stop using some of the bin liners. Here are three reasons why I think we should stop using bin liners.


Firstly, Awahono School uses more than ten bin liners a day and we don’t even need ten because  all we put in them is dry paper and and plastic. We also spend a lot of money  on plastic bin liners  a year. We use ten plastic bin liners a day, fifty a week, five hundred  a term and two thousand a year!


Secondly, at the end of the day the plastic bags are just tied and put into the big black rubbish bag. I think we should stop using the bin liners 
because  we can just tip the rubbish into the big bag. It is also better for the environment because  there will not as much plastic polluting our land and seas if we stop using some of the bin liners.

Finally, we only need plastic bin liners for the wet rubbish like milk cartons and half empty yogurt containers.   We only need them for the wet rubbish  because  it  will stain the metal bin and the dry rubbish can’t stain the bin because it’s not wet!

In conclusion, I think Awahono School should stop using plastic bin liners for the dry rubbish and help the environment by using less plastic bin liners!


Yours sincerely,
Lachlan

Maths DLO

In class we had been using double number lines. We had to draw one in our maths book and then use it to figure out our fraction questions. We had to make a DLO and use the double number lines to figure out three  questions. I think the double number line helps me a lot with my learning. Here is our DLO!😎😎
