Fair

We are making signs for the school fair. We have to make  them bright and make sure the spelling is correct.  Our stall is the Sandpit Treasure Hunt.

Alliteration

We have been learning about alliteration.  We know that when the words start with the same sound it is alliteration.

Our Poems

We have been learning how to write poems.

We will know we have done this when we have done the following:

Followed the structure
Started each sentence on a new line
Used puncuation correctly
Expressed thoughts and ideas that are special to me

Here are some of our poems.

Courtney
It means great and pretty
2004
It is like a beautiful flower
We went roller blading
My gran
My gran showed me how to knit
2 weeks ago when I stayed the night
Courtney
I will never give up

Sophie
It means honest speedy and bright
1196
It is like a river
It is going to Hamner
It is the memory of my pet puppy
When we bought her
Sophie
It means I believe in doing my best and never giving up

Milly
It means delightful playful and glad
2001
It is like luscious ripe grapes
It is going to Australia
It is a memory off my step brother
Mum and Dad taught me to walk
9 years ago
Milly
It means all my lovely family

Dathan
It means joyful, brave honest
5432
It is a river with crocodiles sand snakes
It is going camping
Its a memory of my Nana
Who taught me to be honest
When she was alive
Dathan
It means to never quit

Earthquake

In my opinion I think that earthquakes are not scary because it is only a shake.

It think that earthquakes can do a lot of damage to places.

Another good point is my Dad brought my sister Ashleigh down to my room.  Then my Mum came down.

Some people think earthquakes are scary because it is a big shake.

I think there has been a lot of damage.

Mind Maps

Each day we think about the way we have been learning at school. We are using some new mind maps and they look like this.

Cats

Cats

By Courtney

Did you know that cats like to play on streets? They also play with toys and mice. They also play outside and at parks. They also play in houses.

Some cats live at the vets. Some cats live in houses. Some cats live on their own.

Some cats like to eat cat biscuits, meat and fish. Cats eat many kinds of food.

Some cats could be black, white, grey, brown and orange. Cats are all kinds of colours.

Report Writing by Courtney

I have been learning about writing good reports.  They need to have true things, facts, an introduction and at the end a summary.  We need to be writing in paragraphs.  We are not writing about ourselves or what happened to us. I am going to write a report on Dolphins.
