Trip to Antarctica

If I was going on a holiday to Antarctica this is what I’ll pack.  I would pack all these things to stay alive.  What would you pack if you went to Antarctica? What toy would you bring to Antarctica? I would bring Rat in a Hat toy.

Bag Tiggy Tags

Please read each sentence in this post from bottom to top.

I felt so happy and I wanted to surprise Belinda.

It was easy enough.

Today I opened my schoolbag by myself or the first time.

We got a shoelace and we put some colourful beads onto the shoelace and tied the end in a knot.

Bag tiggy tags will help me to open my bag and close it by myself.

On Friday we decided to make bag tiggy tags to help me get ready for High School.

Clock Making (Rhymes)

Clock Making

Clock making was very fun.

First I had to choose what shape for the clock.

Second I had to cut a circle out on a machine.

Third I needed to drill a hole in the middle for the hands to go.

Fourth we had go and find the numbers and then stick them on with sticky shiny glue and push them down.

Fifth we coated the clock with a see through paint that made it shine.

Sixth we had to get some hands and the battery part for the clock and hunt for a battery to make it tick tock.

Puddle Lake

On Wednesday we got some gumboots from Graeme's Shed and put them on, as well as an orange jacket and got my cane and went for a puddle walk.  We went out the front of the school and it was raining.  It was hard to see in the jacket because it was around my head. We took a short cut where there was some rails and we had to walk through them.  It wasn’t very easy to get through but I made it.  On our walk we found a big puddle as big as a lake.  I stepped in the puddle and I was bending down with my hands and splashing to get Belinda all wet.  The best part was the puddle lake, it was very huge and made a sploshy, squishy sound. I learnt when there’s something in the way that stuck means stop and drop also means stop too with my cane.  Belinda learnt that we need a spare pair of socks.

        

Going back to Berlin

Belinda and Royden's video of  Discussion  about leaving from the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Chapter 16 of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

This book is starting to make me think about the fence.  Why can't they just break the fence in 2 parts? Shmuel is lonely, Bruno is lonely and let them be together and play.  I'm starting to think about the soldiers that they have built the fence so that no one will go on the other side, I don't think that's very fair.

The boy in the striped Pyjamas bookmark.

I made a bookmark of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.  I chose the soldier picture because there were soldiers in the story.  The swing because Bruno fell off the swing.  The wire fence to keep the people in and the striped pyjamas picture because some of the men were wearing them.

The Spooky Forest

I wrote a narrative writing.
I learned how not to tell the reader exactly what happened but describe about the spooky forest.   How it felt, what I saw, what I was thinking, what I heard.

I am walking through the dark spooky forest. The trees are dark green and very scary.  It’s night time and I hear something.   I hear an owl tahooting. The branches of the trees are scraping scratching.  The wind is shooshing around the treetops.  Suddenly I hear footsteps  and the footsteps are coming my way.

I gasp.  I feel like I want to hide.  My heart is pumping very fast. I feel frightened of something.  I see a tree that’s not shaking and I decide to climb it as fast as a cheetah.  I hold on to the tree very tightly.  Im at the top and I’m spying to see what’s down there.

I feel terrified.  Then I see a Baxon and I hide amongst all the leaves.  I hope that he doesn’t see me.  But I can see him.  I see a whole lot of blue eyes. He has 8, and a long yellow tail that dragged behind him. I am now stuck in the tree as quiet as a mouse.  

I could climb down but he will see me and cook me, I could move a little bit, but he would see me, I could make a noise but then he would hear me.  The safe thing to do is ring somebody for help. I quietly get my phone out.  I push the phone buttons 9 1 7 6. I hear the Baxon catcher on the phone.  I whisper “Please get rid of the Baxon, I am in the dark forest, in a tree please help me.”

“Ill bring a sharp red cage to trap this scary Baxon” said the Baxon catcher.

I wait in this tree until the Baxon catcher arrives.  The Baxon is looking around for a toy to play with.  

The Baxon catcher arrives in a green truck.  I see a sharp red cage.  The Baxon comes towards the green truck he sees the Baxon catcher and the Baxon thinks that the red sharp cage is his toy.  He tries to play with it but CRACK the red sharp cage falls on top of him and traps him inside.

The Baxon catcher sneaks up and carries it to his green truck.

I am safe.  I climb down at last.  I feel happy.  I find my way out of the forest by a sign.  I’m happy to be safe from the Baxon.Maybe next time I won’t walk into a dark spooky forest, lucky to have my phone in my pocket.  

The whitebait life cycle with my buddy in room 8

  



 We went to room 8 to work on the whitebait cycle.  I showed Summer how to save the pictures on google on my I Pad.  We had to find pictures that we needed and work out the facts.  We had some eggs and found out how the eggs turned into whitebait.  I liked the way that we pasted the pictures on the google slide.

The wonderful Royden's Frog Cycle

This week I was learning about the frog cycle.  I learnt about eggs called frogspawn, how the frogspawn turns into tadpoles and tadpoles get legs and a tail. Then they get their front legs, then they get onto the land, then it makes the adult frog, and it all happens all over again and again and again. We did an explanatory sentence on the frog cycle and paragraph after paragraph. It was tricky but I had a great time.

Royden's Frog Cycle

A frog is a tailless amphibian with a short squat body, moist smooth skin, and very long hind legs for leaping.  Frogs live on land and in water like ponds. Frogs can be green some frogs can be brown.  Frogs lay eggs, lots of eggs and sooner or later those eggs change into frogs.

Frogs start their live in water.  They lay hundreds of eggs could frogspawn

That float on top of the water.  Some of them are eaten by fish.  The eggs start to change shape and grow. It starts to have a tail and a head.  After about 10 days, the eggs have grown into tadpoles and wriggle wriggle out. They have grown gills.  

Gills help the tadpoles breathe oxygen under water. The gills are on the tadpoles  neck.  The gills look like feathers on the tadpoles neck.  Next they start to grow.

Small tadpoles eat water plants.  Bigger tadpoles eat small water animals. They eat and eat and start to grow their hind legs.  Then they grow lungs to breathe now they have to go up to the surface to breathe again.

Next they grow their front legs then they use their hind legs for swimming. Their back legs are like duck feet that are webbed.  It helps them swim better. The young growing frogs have still got a tail to help them swim.

Just after that the tail starts to shenk.  The tadpole is now a froglet and he jumps everywhere. A froglet size is as small as a 10 cent coin.  A froglet uses his tongue to catch flies and insects.  The froglet grows into an adult frog.  When a frog is 3 years old it lays frogspawn and the frog cycle starts all over again.

 

I have also started doing a picture of aboriginal dot art.

  

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Chapter 1 and 2

 We are reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.  The family are moving to a new house because of Dad's job.  Bruno didn't want to move because he had plans of playing with his friends and he liked to slide down the banister.  Dad has a job and he wears decorations when hes working on his uniform.  Dad is practicing to be a soldier at work.  The new house seems strange and Bruno wishes he would be going home to Berlin.  Bruno looked out the window and did not feel well.  He felt cold by what he saw.
These are some of the things I would miss if I would leave my home.

Playful friends.

My spongebob toys.

The DVD and CD spot at the warehouse.

My favourite fish and chip shop.

My favourite TV.

The Regent Theatre where I like to watch movies.

PASSION PROJECT

Subtracting with borrowing

SUBTRACTION USING BORROWING

We start from the 1’s column.

So, 2 - 3, but we can’t do it.  

So we need to borrow from our neighbor.

Cross him out, the 3.

So we make the 3 a 2.

Then the 2 is a 12.

Then we do 12 - 3.

So 3 to get to 10 is 7

10 to get to 12 is 2

So 7 + 2 is 9

So 12 - 3 is 9

2 - 1 is 1

So our answer is 19

BORROW & PAYBACK

We start in the 1’s column.

So 2 - 3, can’t do that, so we need to make this 2 a 12 and then we pay it back straight away downstairs to our neighbor.

12 - 3 is 9.

Then it’s not 11, it’s 3 - 1 - 1.

Which is 1.

So the answer is 19.

Now I have 2 different ways of doing these take away problems and I can choose any way I like.You might find this pretty easy-

Good luck with your questions.

Explanatory writing

WALT: Plan and construct a paragraph.

A bed is a soft object that people sleep on .  It has a mattress, a pillow, blankets and a bed head to stop the pillow going on the floor.  To find a bed, look in a bedroom.  An example of a bed is a bunk bed.  

A bunk bed has a ladder and is split up into 2 beds.  One is on the top and one is on the bottom.

Bunk beds are good if people come to stay, or if you had a small room.

There are different sorts of mattresses for bunk beds like spring and foam.  Spring mattresses have springs inside them.  Foam mattresses are made with foam.  

Pillows are comfy and soft.  We use them at the end of our bed to put our head on.

We put blankets all over us to keep us warm at night.  You can get a special blanket to keep you warm called an electric blanket.  

Reflection Week 2

Hello everyone from Royden

This week has been a bit of a muddle because Mrs Hooker has been working with me some days while  Belinda has been away.  Wyatt has has helped us use the computer. Thanks Wyatt!!!

But I did learn to put in speech marks around the person's speech. I finished the whole exercise and it was fun. I learned about ascending and descending order. I remember ascending goes from little to big because ascending begins with an u for up sound.  I remember descending is d for down from biggest to smallest.

SEE YA SIMON

We made a new cover for a book See Ya Simon.  We had to include a title, the author and make it eye catching.

Conversation Poem

Late again Mr Royden Giles!!!

Because Spongebob came to visit me

Well you could have brought him to school with you to share with your friends

Well there is air in the school.

Tell Spongebob to hold his breath

He can’t do that because he is a sea creature and only can take my house air.

Next time tell him to visit in the weekend

He can’t, he has to play with Patrick and feed Gary on the weekends.

Well he could visit after school then

No, because he has to go to work at the Krusty Krab

Well then maybe you could just talk on the phone then

We can’t get a signal because Spongebob’s way below in the water

Ok then Mr Giles, you’re here now, let’s get some work done

I can’t because Spongebob’s coming to visit!

Weekly Reflection T2 W7

Remember When Poem

Remember when I fell off my chair at home.  I was frightened.   My body felt shaky. My arm was HURTING like a deep bruise.  My arm felt sore like a TIGER'S  CLAW touched it.

My left foot was twisted- pointy twisted towards mum. IT'S LIKE THE CHAIR WANTED TO EAT MEEEE!

That was my fall.  

Kensuke's Kingdom

In class we made a book cover of Kensuke's Kingdom and this is mine with a water background. A boat, shark, dolphins and a whale because they are in the book.

Didgeri doo Poem

Nonsense Poem

1. First we had to think of 3 different animals.
2. We had to put them in order.
3. We had to think of some verbs or doing words starting with the letter that the animal starts with.
4. We had to think of some words that rhymed with ‘doo’. Like poo, shoe, achoo, you, blue, loo, who, flu.
5. Then we had to put it all together and to make sure that it makes sense in a poem.
6. We had to use imagination and alliteration.  Alliteration means the starting letter is the same.

This is my nonsense Poem

Dogs

Dig like diggers,

Cats can catch the flu,

Goldfish grumble like grandpas,

But what does a didgeri doo?

Cows can not carry huge cars,

Pigs ponder playing in poo,

Foxes fart on flowers,

But what does a didgeri doo?

Elephants eat rainbow eggs,

Tigers take treasure and say boo,

Lions lie down like ladies,

But what does a didgeri,

What does a didgeri,

What does a didgeri doo?

Holidays

My holidays started on Saturday.  We had Tori coming over to help me look after Mum because Mum was getting her teeth out.  Bev came to see Tori.  I had a sleep over with Reilly and we played MONSTERS.  One person is the monster and the other person has to be scared of that person and runs away. The monster has to try and catch that person for dinner.  The next morning Reilly had to go home at lunchtime.
Then Tori had to go home and left Mum and me at home.

The next week I was excited to get a new book about little rabbit foo foo that came with a D.V.D because the book was no ordinary book.  First rabbit foo foo bumped field mice on the head, then he bumped wiggly worms on the head, then it was the tigers.
Before I got my book, I went to lunch with Helen at the Bonsai.  I had chicken nuggets and chips and it was delicious.
When I got home I watched the Rabbit Foo Foo D.V.D but when it finished this D.V.D. did not have a main menu.
Then on Sunday afternoon we went and saw The Jungle book movie.  We jumped most of the movie because of  shol con the TIGER.  The movie was about a brave young boy and it was called THE JUNGLE BOOK. The boy was brave because he saved the Jungle from a tiger.  My two weeks holiday was super duper exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bomb went BOOM

BOOM went the bomb

The soldiers got bumps

Bumps the soldiers got

Blisters from the boots

The boots gave blisters

Broken bones and blood

Blood and broken bones

Socks had  a smell of smoke

Smokey smelly socks

Soldiers shook in surprise and shock

Shocked soldiers shaking in surprise

Drowsy doctors in dirt and dust

Dusty doctors dirty and drowsy
