Room 9 – Year 5's

On a sunny morning I woke up
and was bored. So I asked my Mum “If I could have someone over and go to
Marion” Mum said “yes “of course so I ringed up my friend Maddie and her Mum
said “yes” so Maddie and I went to Marion and we meet another friend. So we started
to walk around more and then we meet another friend and said “I was trying to
find a friend to go to the swimming centre but no one was answering there phone.
So we all went to the swimming centre and all had a great time.

A note from Mrs Shep: Virginia you have written your story using 100 words but did you include “as the light came towards me”?

Our class has been making mothers day  gifts we made a coat hanger and a card. To make the coat hanger we used a a plain wooden coat hanger,a match stick, black paint, a paint brush and six different coloured paint. We used the paint brush to paint the coat hanger black. Then we left them to dry for two days. Once the coat hangers had dried we used the match stick to paint patterns on the coat hanger.

To make the cards we used a big piece of paper either green or blue,a small piece of paper, a paper bird and a paper cage,a mum sticker and a paper plant. We folded the big piece of paper in half and then we stuck the small piece of paper on. Once we had finished that we arranged the paper bird, paper cage,paper plant and mum sticker on our card in the order that we wanted them in and then we glued them on. By Tam and Ethan

In spelling this term we have been doing a spelling contract, this involves V.A.K.P.O.I.N.T This stands for visual, auditory, kinesthetic, print orientated and interactive learning. Our favorite activity has been kinesthetic because we got to use play dough, magnetic letters and cut magazine letters to make our words.

Whilst walking through a forest and I saw a little gecko running across a tree stump towards an ant home. I decided to follow him. I tripped over a stick and fell towards the ant hole. Suddenly I started to shrink. I fell down the hole as the light came towards me! Suddenly I hit the ground with a thud! I looked up and saw hundreds of  lizards. I managed to not get eaten for a while but I almost got stomped on by a Komodo and blasted to bits when getting shot out of the ant hole to safety.

Hi, it’s Dan, Billy and Angus U.  Last Monday room9 and room10 did a rugby skills clinic. We did the tag version instead of the tackling version. First we did three players on defense and three players on scoring a try. Then Dave, Allan and Chipper told us some skills to learn. Then we did matches in teams of roughly 8 on 8. We got 6 chances to score a try.

This is Dave talking about some skills.

Hi,
We are Ryan, Jasper and Jake from room 9. On monday we did rugby skills with Chipper, Alan and Dave from rugby league SA. They taught us how to pass and all the rules about how to do strategies to win like run straight forward and spread out as far as possible. It was very fun and I hope we can do it again and I think everyone enjoyed it!

Hi, as you may have read one of our options for homework is 100 word challenge. There are are two main rules; It has to be 100 words and it has to use the phrase ‘as the light came towards me’ somewhere in it. Here is mine:

The day was dark, rainy and gloomy. I was feeling bored. I hate rainy days, there’s never anything good to do.. Thankfully my friend had a sleepover with me last night and was still home with me.   We were playing on our iPods. While we were doing that suddenly, the sun came out. We were in shock! I raced outside and my friend followed close behind. As the light came towards me a rainbow appeared. It seemed like the weather had seen us being oh so bored and wanted us to be happy! We had a great time after that.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed Oh and please check out my blog ‘bubbles babble’ on the student blog roll. Please comment on it with any ideas that you may have like competitions etc.

As I was lying down I felt weak and hopeless, as I felt my body shutting down. As soon I would walk towards the light. I found out I was dying 3 years ago and they didn’t expect me to survive this long. I was surrounded by friends and family that were crying and hysterical. Soon enough I found myself walking towards the light of what I thought was hope. When I got there it was like a beautiful garden. I tried to get in but they wouldn’t let me and I came back to life. My family was happy.

Each fortnight I am going to post a challenge for you to try as one of your homework tasks. Here is the first of your fortnightly challenges.

You may want to print out the page and write on it as you read each clue. When you think you have found the answers bring them to school and share them with me. We will share the answers in class at the end of each fortnight.

Good Luck
