Peace Sense Poem

I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

I am so proud of being able to use good adjectives to describe what I am writing about in my poem.

It can be tricky to describe the senses.

The thesaurus can help me by giving me interesting words to use.

The next step for me in my learning is to write a more interesting poem.

ANZAC Recount

Here We Go!

It was 2am on the 25th of April 1915. It was pitch black. All you could see was the moon.  I was shaking uncontrollably because I was so terrified.  

Suddenly a bullet flew past my ear.  I heard the bullet land in the water. I quickly tried to get my gun ready. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. My whole body was shaking like I was burning. I tried to shot my gun but my gun was jammed. I quickly stole the gun from the dead soldier in front of me.

This was my final time to grab my gun. I squeezed my gun as hard as I could. I saw my friend with a gigantic hole in his head with brains and blood pouring out. We were so close to the shore! I could hear a huge large boom! I could smell everybody’s fear.

Peace One Day

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.I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

Percentages & Fractions Problem

Problem Solving Task

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

50%of 30=12                                                   

               

1\2 of 30= 15

20/of 15

1510=1.5

1.5x2=3 15-3=12

12 girls have long hair.

My buddy can help me by checking my work to see if it is wrong or right.

The next step for me in my learning is to do a Stage 7 question by myself.

Plastic-Good or Bad

“Plastics are  Bad” by Ben and Mansur

Oil platforms drill into the Earth's surface and extract oil from it.  Plastic fishing nets are hazardous to sea creatures.  The process of making plastic puts harmful chemicals into the land, air and water. These are my reasons for thinking that Plastics are bad.

These are some pictures of sea creatures that are dying because of plastic.
