My School Celabrates Literature!

Posted on by

My favourite part of of the literature festival was going round and seeing all the stalls in the hall and library. Me and my buddy went all around the school doing treasure hunts and guessing pages and guessing authors. I also liked then Mark Wilson came and talked to us about his history and his books. He also taught us how to draw some pictures.

From Mark Wilson I learned that some of his books are about his relatives, he also has illustrations in his books of real things. For example, he had an old letter that he just copied into his book! I also learned some drawing techniques. We had one shape and we turned it into a bird, snake and leaf. It was actually simpler then I thought!! 

I really enjoyed the literature festival at my school!

This term we have a Year 5 Market. We all get into groups and make products to sell. We also ‘upcycle’ things which means use materials that would usually be thrown away. Here are our advertisements for our products:

 

Term 1 Year 5

Posted on by

This term has been great! I am in a really fun class with really nice students and an awesome teacher. Our grade 5 classrooms are altogether in one space upstairs, so it is really easy to meet up with friends in other classes. I also love that we now have lockers instead of a bag hook. Lockers are great because they have a space for your bag, lunch, and books. I like that the lockers are all in the one area, so you can always see all your friends there.

I love my class because it is such a lovely group of people and I have a really nice teacher. There were 39 new students in year 5. I have 10 new students in my class and I have loved getting to know them all in class and at snack and lunch.

I was a bit concerned that I wouldn’t be able to understand the work in grade 5, but it turns out it’s actually been fun and I’ve built on my skills. I have used many of the positive learner attributes this term. I have connected with old friends and new friends. I’ve shown courage by having a go at rock climbing and trying to make it to the top. I’ve fallen off the seesaw during bike riding but I showed resilience and got up and tried again.

Today I had a go at complete in the triathlon. This was something that I was not looking forward to. I was proud that I pushed myself and challenged myself to swim extra laps in the pool. It turns out that I LOVED the triathlon and I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow. I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it or even be able to do it!

I have learnt that with a bit of hard work and practice you CAN do things you thought you wouldn’t be able to do. One of my goals for next term and beyond is give things a go and have a positive attitude because you might end up really enjoying yourself.

Was there a time when you ended up loving something that you thought you wouldn’t like?

My Favourite Genres!

Posted on by

Hi Readers,

 My favourite genres in library are humour and fantasy genres because I like when a book is funny because it cheats me up when I get told a joke or funny stories. I like fantasy books because they really interesting and don’t really relate to the real world. An example of these genres would be Weirdo by Anh Do, this book is full of jokes and laughter. It’s one of the funniest books I’ve ever read! An example of a fantasy book is Harry Potter, it’s a very popular and for me it really draws you in and you always want to keep reading.

My favourite book chat book this year is How To Bee by Bren McDibble, I like it because it has a lot of problems that have to be solved and the main character, Peony, her mum moved her to the city from where she came from the farm. She is forced to do chores to earn money for food.

What’s your favourite genre? Why?

Our Nativity Performance

Posted on by


Read to find out about our Nativity Play!

My class did a nativity play and preformed it to parents, year 3’s and at an aged care home. We each got in pairs and wrote on script for one scene. We then put it all together to make our script. Our class went through the characters and we all got a part. I got the part of the narrator. I had a folder with the script in it. I stranded on the side of the stage when I was reading my part. I really loved going through the play with our costumes. Even if my teacher did have a grizzle sometimes. It was still lots of fun!! 

When we preformed it to our aged care buddies, we went to wish them a Merry Christmas. After a few music preformences we caught the bus back to school.

I felt happy and relaxed at the same time when I was reading the script. I really enjoyed preforming the play. I think I learnt what happenes in the Christmas story.

Do you know what happenes in the Christmas Story?

Hi Brilliant Bloggers,

Check out my avatar below. I made it to represent me online without giving my identity. The purpose of an avatar is to show picture of you online.

For instance I have brown and gold hair, brown eyes and I like to draw so I a suit on because l think professional drawers wear suits.
