Peace Sense Poem

I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

I am so proud of being able to describe what Peace feels like, tastes like and sounds like.

It can be tricky to describe the senses.

The thesaurus can help me by giving me interesting words to use.

The next step for me in my learning is to write a more interesting poem.

A Desert Presentation

I am learning to do a presentation about the Sonoran Desert for my reading.
I am proud of being able to do a desert presentation.

My buddy can help me by checking for spelling mistakes.
The next step for me in my learning is to make another presentation and make it by myself.

Anzac Landings Recount

Ride To Death!

It’s 2 am, on the 25th of April 1915.

There I was. I was shaking like I was getting shocked. The landing boat was like a ride to death!. I was getting ready to leave the boat.  I felt a big drop of sweat rolling down my neck.

I could smell all the fear coming from the landing boats. Someone on the other landing boat had accidently shot a bullet off. “We’re exposed,” screamed the Commander.  I thought we were about to die. It was like blood bath.

We were about to leave the landing boat.  All of the soldiers dived quickly out of the landing boats. Our boat was out of the Turkish guns range.  I was gripping my gun like it was the only thing keeping me alive. I heard a boom from the battleships. I ducked for cover. I got up to check what had happened.  A soldier died right  in front of me. I stood up and took his ammo.

Then I felt a torturing pain in my leg. I was shot.  I felt like I was about to die……..

Peace One Day

As part of  our Inquiry work on Peaceful Communities we have been  learning about World Peace Day  on September 21st. On Friday 19th September we held a Taster Shared Lunch with Rooms  19 and 22.   We  had to bring in a small sample of a food that we might eat at home as a family favourite  or a food from our culture.  This helps us to learn about each other’s cultures and about tolerance of others.

Percentage & Fraction Problem

Problem Solving Task

I am learning to solve problems by using my understanding of the equivalence between percentages and fractions.

1\2 of 30 = 15 girls

1\5 of 15 =

15 5 = 3

15- 3=12

12 girls have long hair.

I am learning to solve problems by using my understanding of the equivalence between percentages and fractions.

I am so proud of being able to work out percentage and fraction problems by myself.

It can be tricky to work out percentage problems by yourself.

My buddy can help me by checking my work to see if it is wrong or right.

The next step for me in my learning is to try more Stage 7 questions.

Live, Work and Play Safely" by Heather Hammonds

Live, Work and Play Safely” by Heather Hammonds

Think about an activity that you do, or a sporting activity you belong to and make a list of the rules that members need to follow.  For each rule, briefly explain why this rule has been put in place.

Rugby Union

The Rule is …..	Why this rule has been put in place…..
No Sharp Boots.	The reason is because it might cut peoples arms and legs.
No High Tackles.	The reason is because if you high tackle you could break their neck.
No Forward passes.	Because if you forward pass you could get penalised and because that is unfair for the opponents and that is only allowed on football (National FootBall League).
No Kicking Or Punching.	There is no kicking or punching because it turns into a fight and people could get severely injured.
No Foot Trips	Because you can really hurt the peoples feet.
No Shepherding	You are not allowed to shepherding because they could accidentally tackle the wrong person.
