COPS AND KILTS

ON MONDAY 12th OCTOBER WE HAD COPS AND KILTS COME TO OUR SCHOOL.

COPS AND KILTS ARE POLICE THAT CAN PLAY INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS............. BAGPIPES, DIDGERIDOO AND OTHER THINGS. THEY PLAYED LOTS OF SONGS FOR US LIKE BOB THE BUILDER. THEY WERE VERY TALENTED AND I REALLY ENJOYED THERE PERFORMANCE.

Kylie The Carnival Fairy

Today I read Kylie The Carnival Fairy by Daisy Meadows. My favorite characters are Kylie, Rachel and Kirsty because they are all trying to make the carnival fun again. I don't like Jack Frost and his Goblins because they are trying to wreck the carnival. This book is very interesting because there is a Band Leader and a Carnival Master. They both have hats that make the band play good and in time and the Carnival Masters hat that makes the rides run smoothly.

This is a picture of the front cover. I rate this book 10/10.

Perimetre

In class we have been learning about perimeter. This is a summary I wrote about measuring perimeter.



From what we found out about measuring the perimeter of the desks there is length, and width. Then we had to add up all of the answers of the measurements together to get an overall answer. I think it was hard to transfer metres into center metres because you had to move the decimal point to the end of the number of how many numbers are at the end. I think measuring perimeter is easy because it gives you the distance around the shapes without have to measure the rest of the shape. I have learned to measure perimeter by measuring the length and the width 2 times then add them both together to get an answer. To measure the Perimeter of the Admin Block I had to use a trundle wheel. I thought it was hard to because you could get 2 different answers if you measure a different part.

My Favorite Holiday Destination

Switzerland picture

Fiji picture

My favorite place that I have been to is Fiji. I liked Fiji the best because I got to get my hair done in lots of tiny plaits. I went to Fiji with my dad, mum, sister and my brother. I went there in 2005. The best part was eating ice cream in the pool and canoeing. I went there in a plain. I went there for a wedding.

If I had to choose a place to go on holidays it would be Switzerland, because they make really yummy chocolate and because I would like to go skiing.

moon and tide paragraph

For inquiry we are learning about the moon and tide. For homework we had to answer a question which was How dose the tide effect your life by the bay? These are my two paragraphs about it.

From what we found out about the tides the New moon and the Full moon were the most effected because the bulge was at its biggest. The largest tide was 2.55 metres high. The lowest tide was 0.3 metres. When it was the highest tide the moon phase was Waining Gibbous. When it was the lowest tide the moon phase was Waining Crescent. I think the highest tide was at Waining Gibbous because of the Gravitational Pull. I think the lowest tide was at Waining Gibbous because it was close to a New moon and the New moon is lined up with the sun and earth.

Many People rely on the tides. Fishermen rely on the tides to feed their family and to get money. Fishermen go out when it is low tide to catch bait and crabs. They catch fish at high tide because that is when the fish come out to find food. Sea creatures on the tide to find food and to make homes to live in.

Myst Diary Entry

This is my diary entry about Myst Island.



Dear Diary,

Today when I was in Myst Island I found the Myst book in a giant cog. When I opened it there was an Island that was called Mechanical Age. I could see the whole Island just moving around on the page. I could see the Island on a small screen about the size of a Kit-Kat bar. When I watched the screen for long enough the screen went black and I was suddenly transported to another world, the Mechanical Age. The first thing I saw when I got there was a big Chinese Temple that was different shades of green. I had a look at the house from a closer view and the walls were metal and looked very strong. Then I went inside of the house, there were two hallways, one going left and one going right. It took me to a dark gloomy room with the blue page so I picked it up. I went back to the hallways and I chose to go right. It led to an elevator, I went up in the elevator and it took me to a room with a giant cog in the middle. I found a compass and turned it 4 times east until I heard a chime like a church clock and I could get back to Myst Island.

THE GRAVEYARD BOOK

I AM READING THE GRAVEYARD BOOK BY NEIL GAIMAN.

I WANTED TO READ THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT SOUNDS INTERESTING BY THE NAME. THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A MAN WHO IS HOLDING A KNIFE AND CLEANS IT WITH HIS HANDKERCHIEF.

I THINK THE PICTURES ARE SCARY BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOTS OF DETAIL AND THEY LOOK CREEPY.

I THINK THE FRONT COVER IS GOOD BECAUSE IT RELATES TO ITS NAME. SO FAR FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IS REALLY GOOD BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFERENT TO OTHER STOREYS.

I RATE THINS BOOK 10/10. PLEASE READ IT.

THE LETTER "M"

FOR THIS WEEKS FAMILY MATHS CHALLENGE WE HAD TO THINK OF AS MANY MATHEMATICAL WORDS THAT BEGIN WITH THE LETTER "M".

THESE ARE MY WORDS ON A WORDLE.

Coles Plastic Bag Challenge

Our school is joining in the plastic bag challenge that is being run by Coles. My class 4/5R is holding it for our school. The Coles plastic bag challenge is to reduce the amount of landfill and the death of animals, such as: Turtles, Whales, Birds and other marine life. The people in my class that are running it are called Jade, Sian, Jack, Ryan and Erin. I think it is a very good idea to do this so the animals don't get instinct.

Did You Know? Over A trillion(100,000,000,00,00) Plastic bags are being made every year.

Every minute in Australia 7000 plastic bags are being thrown out.

By the 23rd October my school is trying to get 3000 or more plastic bags. To do this we NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Please leave a comment if you would like to do this yourself.

Tashi Concert

On the last day of term the 4/5 classes each performed a Tashi play that we practiced in drama.

My class 4/5R did a play about the book, Tashi and the Forbidden Room. I think this book is very interesting because a bad man called Blue Beard locked up 5 of his wife's for doing things like talking to the neighbored. The character I play was called Granny Wight Eyes. She is blind. All of the kids did really well in there play. It was really fun and exiting.

Please leave me a comment.

Felicity Wishes

Today I read Felicity Wishes by Emma Thomson.

This book has 3 story's in it and I am on the last one. It is called Snowy Surprise. These three story's are about Felicity's Christmas with her friends. She had a pretty good Christmas besides when she got swept up in a snow storm, but she ended up having a good Christmas where she landed. I don't have a favorite character because all of Felicity's friends Polly, Holly, Daisy and Winnie are all very kind and if they are stuck they all share ideas.

This is an easy read. I rate it 10/10. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. If you have read this book please leave me a comment and tell me what you thought of it.
