All saints day!

 WALT: To chose a saint and fill in a google document about them.

Today was All Saints Day, when we celebrate the saints of the world.  We come to school dressed as our favourite saint or just in our school uniform.  I came dressed as Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

It is sooo fun to do.  We had to fill in a document about a saint.  Here is my one.

Totem pole calendar art.

 WALT: To use texture in painting.

In Art we painted simple landscapes.  Then we made our own totem pole and stuck it in the middle of the painting.  We are going to use it for calendar art.  It was soooo fun to do.  I loved drawing the totem pole because it was fun to decide which animals to put on it.  I took a photo of it and made a google drawing advertising it.  Here is the google drawing.  Do you know what a totem pole is?

SVA Rubbish pick up

 WALT: Care for our environment.

Today we the Years 5's and 6's worked our ways to Thompson Park picking up rubbish along the way.  The Year 6's of Room 3 and 2 went a different route while the year 5's went another way.  We filled up so many bags of rubbish, filled with beer bottles, cigarettes and the random wallet.

It made me sad to see all that rubbish everywhere.  So many people have thrown beer bottles and all sorts of things in the bushes where no one would look.  Luckily we were there to  clean it up.


I am the one in the yellow rectangle.

When we got  to Thompson Park I played in the bowl.  People had brought their scooters so they could scooter in the bowl.  I LOVED going to Thompson Park.  I hope we can go again.
How are you helping the environment?


RE Rubbish bins

 WALT: To take a photo of a rubbish bin and a recycling bin.

In RE we got to go around the school and take a photo of the contents in a rubbish bin and a recycling bin.   

I took a photo of the classroom rubbish bin and the school recycling bin.  Here it is.

The recycling bin is full of recyclable things , which is good.  The rubbish bin is full of rubbish.  At least the recycling bin hasn't got rubbish.  What does your recycling bin look like?

My Recount!

 WALT: To write a recount about a event that happened in the holidays.

In Writing we had to write a recount about something that happened in the holidays.  It was a really fun activity because we got to write about whatever we want that happened in the holidays.  I wrote about when I had a sleepover with Kate.  It was easy to do because it was only a few days ago.  Here is my writing.  

Have you ever had a sleepover before?  If you have, who with?

Please comment! {Kind ones please!}


SLEEPOVER WITH KATE!


 Have you ever had a sleepover before? I have!  My Friend Kate and I had a sleepover at my house during the holidays. It started early and ended late.

  


When Kate got to my house we went for a walk up the hill with my mum and my little brother.  We got to the top and my mum took a photo of the view while Kate and I did the best part of going up the hill . . .   running down!  We ran down screaming at the top of our lungs and we dodged the sheep poo that was everywhere.  We were exhausted when we got to the bottom.


When we got home Kate and I played a made up game called Endangered Species Vets.  We would get my soft toys and we would pretend that they were seriously injured.  They would stay with us until they were better.  Our ‘house’ was a weather beaten hut that my dad made for me and my brother.  My favourite patient was when Percy the owl was traumatised from falling out of a tree.




Kate had to leave at 2.30 to go to ballet exams and when she got back  my dad took us to the movies to see The War With Grandpa.  {GREAT MOVIE].  We got KFC on the way home, it was Kate’s first time having it.  We had a shower and talked in bed when we  got home.  In the morning we had pancakes for breakfast, and we watched Enola Holmes on Netflix.  When Kate's Mum picked her up we wrestled on the trampoline and Kate’s jeans split.  It was SOOOOOOOOO fun. 


It was the best sleepover that I have ever had at my house!!   I hope that she can come again.

PE cricket ball masters!

 WALT:  To play cricket at PE and have fun!!

In PE today we got to play cricket!  We played snowball tag to warm up with.  Then we split  up into two groups, the year 6's and the year 5's.  The year 6's played cricket first while us year 5's tried the dive mat.  We would run up a ramp, then as soon as we stepped onto the mat someone would throw a cricket ball at us.

We took turns to dive and catch the ball.  We got about three turns each, while Mr Gray would take photos.  Then we played cricket while the year 6's did the dive mat.  Here is a photo of me.  Do you like cricket?  Why?
