Myst Art

This term we have been doing art about the computer game, "Myst". We had to do a silhouette. A silhouette is a picture that is black, it is black because it is a shadow. I chose to do the spaceship that was on Myst Island on the side of my page. I did cogs on the edges of the page that I coloured in blue. And for the rest I did a collage with the Myst book in the middle. My collage was yellow, orange, pink and lots of other colours. Lots of people did things like the library on Myst Island and the Crystal Forest in Selenitic Age.

Everybody did really bright colourful drawings.

Remembrance Day

One the 11th of November it is Remembrance Day. On Remembrance Day we remember all of those who have fort and died for us in World War 1. World War 1 lasted for 4 years, from 1914-1918. It was called the Great War because almost every country was in the war. Alot of people where hurt or killed in the fighting that took place in Europe. In the spring time red Poppies grew on the Battlefields and around the soldiers graves. Now in remembrance of those soldiers we sell poppies. On the 11th month at 11:ooam we have a minutes silence to remember those who died.

Algebra

In class we were learning algebra. I know how to do algebra because my brother taught me how to do it. I think algebra is quiet easy because you just have to figure out what goes in the spot to make the answer correct.
This is an example to show you.
70+c=80
c=80-10
c=10

10 would be in the missing spot.
Here is one for you:
16+c=22

Talent Show

On the 13th of November it was the school Talent Show. Lots of people did great acts such as Magic Tricks, Songs and heaps of other amazing things. The Talent Show went all afternoon and I had HEAPS of fun!!! My friends Katie, Kayla, Hallie and Taz did a play called The News At Five. It was really funny and they did really well.
The prizes were books and certificates. I would hate to be the judge because all of the dances and jokes were so good. I really enjoyed the Talent Show.

Melbourne Cup Day

On the 3rd of November it was the Melbourne Cup. On the Melbourne Cup people dress up and the best part are the horse races. A horse called Shocking Won!!! At school we chose a horse out of a container then we made hats and ties and coloured in the jockeys silks of the colour of our jockey. I don't know what my horse came but all of the horses did really well. I enjoyed watching the Melbourne Cup race.

Assembly, Term 4

This term my class did an assembly about poverty. We did it about poverty to show the school how poverty is effecting others in this world. We sung a song that was really fun and made up actions for it. I think poverty is a terrible thing. From doing this assembly I found out that a child dies every 3 seconds. We asked for everyone to wear to wear white that Friday and sing a song on the oval to show our support.

Halloween

On the 31st of October it is Halloween. Halloween means 'Hallowed Eve'. On Halloween you can go Trick or Treating for lollies while dressing up in scary costumes. People dress up because they believe that it will scare the spirits away. Trick or Treating is an American tradition.
This is about Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
On the 31st of October it was Halloween. Halloween means 'Hallowed Eve'. Halloween is the night before All Saints Day. On All Saints Day we pray for all of those people who have become Saints. On all Souls Day is when we pray for all of those who have died. All Souls Day was on the 2nd of October.

Safety House

In year 6 there are some girls who are Safety House Ambassadors for each class. For my class the Safety House Ambassadors are Britteny and Miyoko. For our Safety House lessons we play games like Don't break the ice. To play that Britteny and Miyoko would say some words like "Safety" then each person in the circle would say a letter then at the end of the word you would say Don't break the ice. It is a really fun game to play and it helps you to learn. If there is a stranger around our school they will come to our class and tell us what they look like and to be careful if you are walking home from school. There are Safety Houses around and if you are in trouble or you feel unsafe you can go to one.

4/5 Camp

On the 29th of October the 4/5s went on camp with the teachers and some parents that volunteered to help us on camp. It was fun because we got to go there in a bus. We went on camp for 1 night and 2 days.

The camp we went to was called Camp Goodenough in New South Whales.

At camp there was a dinning room and lots of yummy food like burgers, hot dogs, bread with lots of spreads and fruit. After Our meals there was a group who cleaned up, before meas there was a group who set the tables and get the drinks.

There were 2 girl cabins and 3 boy cabins. I was in cabin 2 and we talked all night!!!

The activities we did was the Flying Fox and inside the hall we played lots of fun initiative games so we could encourage our team. This was for teamwork. The night we got there we did a Talent show,I did an act with my friends!!!and we did a Trivia night in the hall. Some of the questions where easy and some where hard. I really enjoyed the Flying Fox because we got to wear a harness then we went down on a slope and landed with a big bang at the bottom!!!

After Our meals we had to wash up our own dishes in a tub of warm water and soap. To do that we had to bring our own Tea-towel!!!

I really enjoyed going on camp and it was very fun. and helped to make new friends.

Family Maths Challenge

This is the question for the family maths challenge this week: Use the 4 shapes to complete the grid so that the same shape does not appear twice:

(a). In a row

(b). In any column

(c). In either of the diagonals.

I did it by starting with the diagonals and making each column have a different shape.
