Black Beauty

Black Beauty.

For literacy, im reading Black Beauty. We all are in groups for literacy and all the groups have to read a different book. Im in a group with Isla, Clara, Camryn, Olive, Stevie-Lee, Shafrin.
We are all reading Black Beauty. Each week we have to all read 10 chapters a week, im on chapter 10. So far, the book isn't that bad, the language is kind of hard to understand. The book is about a Horse that was born into a friendly farm with nice people and he lived with his mum for his early years. By the way, his name (the horse) was called Black Beauty. So he gets sold and leaves to a different farm and I havent really read that much because it isnt really my style of book because its from the horses point of view although my favourite animal is horses I would preffer a book not from the horse point of view.

Poem

Tanka poem about surfing

The waves are crashing.
Lots of shells, sandy feet,
First wave, and im up!
Ice water around my legs.
Cloudy, rainy, wet and cold.

what we learnd at M A T H !!

                               Math!!


For math on wednsday, We learnt A LOT! 
We learnt that if you roll two dice, it will most likely, be a 7.
That is because, you cant roll two dice and it be a one because two dice will allways have a number on it and the lowest roll would be 2. Im going to explain it in numbers now.
This is what our work looked like yesterday.

Thursday T E C H !

                                 Tech!!
 Sewing. At tech we did sewing, we are making pillows. Today we started off by getting a practice peice of fabric to do the length of how the inside the pillow, we all had to show the teacher what ours looked like, once we were all finished the practice ones, we moved on and she talked about what we were going to do for the REAL thing and we each got a piece of the inside of the pillow and we had to mesure it and mark it with chalk so we would know where NOT to sew otherwise we couldnt put the stuffing in! We then had to put pins around the edges of the slip and after, we went back to our sewing machines and sewed along the outline of the pillow, and leave a space for the stuffing to get put in. I had finished mine a bit earlier and some other people too, so the teacher cut the edges of the pillow and I had to put it in the right way then I had to get a pointy stick to make the edges more triangular. Once I had finnished, I ironed the pillow, then I was done!!
I cant wait to continue my pillow next week!

Community Sevice For William pike.

On wednesday the 10th of march, Zara, Kiwa and I brought baking to school. We each baked something different the night before then brang it to school the next day. I made M&M cookies and chocolate chip cookies, Zara made blueberry choc chip muffins and Kiwa made brownie. The day we brought them to school, we packed them in brown paper bags and put lables on them to say what they included. We put one of each thing into each bag it took us a whole break to do it but we finally finished. We had to also make sure that no one else would poke thier nose into the bag to see what was inside them so we put some "do not eat" and  "do not touch" signs out on the table. Then, after lunch, we went in the school van to the community fridge. We parked up and sharon walked us up to the fridge to give the baking. The people were very thankfull for the baking and it made us all feel good inside. Then we walked over to the car park by the super market because we had to wait for some other kids to come back from the super market wth some food for their cooking. When the arrived back to the van, we drove back t school and continued the rest of the afternoon. I hope to do some more stuff together again! 

Here are some pictures of us.

Bio poem about Susie

Bio Poem

Susie (puppy)

Cute, playful, Loving, Joyfull, bouncy.
Loves sticks, rivers, beaches, family, big running spaces, food. Scared of cats, little dogs, vacuum cleaners, vets. She learnt to swim in the sea and in rivers. Lives in the country away from us.
We still see her lots. Who discoverd a new life in the country. She has alot of running space.

(she dosen’t have a last name)

Horses like apples.
Horses like to run and run.
They like straw and chaff.

Haiku about Koalas

Koalas are cute.
They live in trees and eat leaves.
They are fuzzy and fluffy.

Haiku

Haiku

Haiku poems have syllables. The first sentence has to have 5 syllables, the second one with 7 syllables and the third sentence with 5 again. So a haiku poem has three sentences. So it could be mabye three words for the first sentence but only have 5 syllables.

What is a syllable?

A syllable is when a word is broken up into groups of three or however many claps it takes to say the word.
Just like this .
Dog has one syllable because it is a short word and you cant break it up into 2 or more groups.
Syllable has 3 syllables because it is broken up in to three groups like here: Syllable. It sounds like this: Sil-a-bill so thats sil wich is 1 syllable, a wich is 2 syllables and bill wich is 3 syllables.
Hope this helped and i will be uploading my own haiku poem.
