Maths

In the stage seven decimals group with Miss Northe we were set to measure our own net. Miss Northe gave us this shape with blocks. Three cubes is one 8th of the total amount of cubes. The total amount of blocks in the shape was 24 blocks.
Then we had to make a net of that shape. Each block is 2 cm by 2cm. Here is the result.

Reading workshops with Mr Wallace

WALT: Read narrative storys and to look at meanings of the storys. We have also done character profiles.
WILF: I can understand and talk about a story 
- I can identify what a character is like from a story.

This story is about a 13 or 14 year old boy named Andy with a mum that is addicted to pokies the mum is wasting her moneys and can't pay Andy money to go to the movies with his friends. Anyway Andys uncle helps Andy and pays him if Andy chops some wood, Andys uncle helps the mum by putting all of her money in his bank so she doesn't spend it.

This is one of the stories I read from a journal.


Name: Andy

Writing

Before writing workshops started for this term we got a servey made by mr Wallace to see what writing subject we wanted I chose poetry, then the people that chose poetry had to pick a counter (red or green) mr b was green and mr Wallace was red I got red! In Wr Wallaces poetry writing workshop we are studying autumn poetry, we were set out to find words that mean autumn (synonymous). Then we had to use those words in a poem along with some others. Next we found some words that had something to do with autumn and put those in a poem with nothing else, that one was really hard. Then we went outside and took a photo of a tree or a leave with the photo we did a sketch of the tree/leave. After we did that we put a border around it and put the first poem on it. Here is the result!


My next step is to use more colour.
Here is the goal he gave us on a document. I notice sentence structure… 
When I write I will notice and identify the tense in a sentence.  I will replace the words to change the tense of the sentence or story. 
 I describe vocabulary … 
 When I write I can identify adverbs used to modify a verb.
