Run Bike Run poetry

WALT use poetic verse to recount an event we participated in.

The Run Bike Run event was usual enough; it had the

Teachers, cones, bikes, supporters and even my Mum .

My friends, my classmates and I did what kids do -

My legs were like lightning bolts as we raced round the lake,

William pushed the pedals like pistons on a train,

Jonathan ran like the wind as he raced to the finish line,

Everyone was cheering like we were at the Olympics,

When our team won my smile was like the sunshine.

SO WHAT: I learnt : That in Russia you can fit 63 New Zealand’s, and that in Russia the temperature can get to -71° and that if you boil hot water and put it in a pot and it is 71° and you chuck it it will turn into snow and how to use chopsticks. I enjoyed getting Henna. I was most fascinated by the fact that in Russia there is a building built without nails. NOW A question I have is why is Chinese New Year different to our New Year ?

Learning plan Review

Statistics

Walt: follow the statistical enquiry cycle and conduct my own investigation.

Conclusions

Blue is the most favourite colour in Year 6.
Yellow is the least favourite colour in Year 6.
Other is the second most favourite in Year 6.

Care Values

I know how to show my care values in the classroom. I think we have the care values at Oaklands School because then the children can be rewarded for their good behaviour. I think the most important classroom care value is respect your and others right to learn.

Integrated learning

Walt describe ideas about school design
The school idea I am presenting is a Silent Room.
I am presenting this by making a model.
I think the school should use this idea because if you are feeling annoyed or angry the Silent room would be a place that you can go to calm down. Sometimes everyone needs somewhere to go to take a breather and the Silent room would be the perfect place.

Swimming

At swimming I learnt to how to do the 6 kick drill.The thing that I find the most challenging was staying on my side well kicking.The thing that I am the most proud of is that I am now able to do the 6 kick drill.

Reading-the BFG

I would use the word brave to describe Sophie. I think Roald Dahl wrote this story because it is good for children.

persuasive writing

We are learning to write persuasively. Some places I would find persuasive writing are Elections, Speeches, Stories, Newspapers, Blog post, Letters, Movie/game reviews, Online news and Advertisements.

My writing goal

My writing goal is to put punchtuation in the right places. Something I will do to achieve this is check my writing when I have finished.

Reading - Our class novel

As a class we read the novel best mate by Michael Morpurgo. The best thing about this book was that Becky ran away to save Best Mate. A question I have for the author is why are all of your books about animals? I am feeling excited to start reading the BFG.

Integrated learning term 2

Our new focus is on animals and habitats. A question I have is why do elephant have tusks ?

Instructional writing

The four features of instructional writing are
1. Title
2. Equipment
3. Instructions
4. Picture or diagram

In my instructional writing I was pleased with the way that I made shore that I had everything that is needed. Next time I want to not make as many mistakes.

My reflection

My reflection
I wondered if we will be the first class to fill up our green light
