Descriptive Writing

-adjectives, verbs, adverbs, similes and personification.

When writing about one of the images you are pretending that you are there… What do you see, smell, feel, touch and taste

I sat on my chair and the sun was glaring off my skin making me really hot, I can hear the waves crashing along the shore as some boats fly past as some are going slow because they were fishing. My drink finally turns up it is bubbling and sparks are flicking up because all of the cold ice cubes, I pick it up being careful not spill any I take a sip and a cold chill runs down my body and stops at my stomach, it feels nice because it called my body down a little but I am still burning hot. My feet dig into the silky sand but I take them out as they start to burn. I am going to go for a swim in the nice warm salt water. I stand up and the sand is really hot. I run half way and stop and hang on the coconut tree for a while then I quickly run to the water to call my feet down. I see the fish quickly swim away as my feet touch the water.

This week we got given a slide full of maths questions about perimeter, here is my slide.

Letter to WW1

 Arthur

Gallipoli - Peninsula 

1914 4th May

Dear Arthur

Hope everything is going well over there on the other side of the world and it is not the pressure of only being 15 one of the youngest there just make sure to keep yourself safe and all the others from Japan. I try not to think about what is happening to you or what can happen, but I know that you are tough and will get through it and be home soon. 

Anyway back at home everything is going good, Dad is working hard like normal, Mum is always worrying about you and the garden of course but I think that she just does not want to face that carrots are not going the grow in all the rain we get in winter over here (just between me and you I am quite happy I don’t like carrots that much). 

Just know that you are making the family proud. We all miss you so much. 

Love from 

Polly and the rest on the family 

For writing this week we had to write a letter either being someone in war sending to their family or a family member write to someone in war. I chose to be someones sister from war here is my piece of writing.

Date

As you read the article, take notes about the important information. Remember: you don’t need to write in full sentences 

General Information

Any other interesting information

Bees make honey them self in there bee hives.  Bees are imported because many plants, animals and humans would not live without them. They carry the pollen that they get from all the flowers on their backs and take it to their beehives to create honey.  That the part of the flower that has the pollen is the stamen and it is the male part of the flower and the female  part is called a stigma and it is in the middle of the plant. The stigma proges the seeds of flowers.

If we did not have bees we would not have a 3rd of the percent of the food we eat.  Flowers use perfume and color to tell the bees that they are ready to get pollination.  Bees can’t see the color red so they motley pollinate blue and yellow flowers.

In Full Sentences answer the following questions

What is the main idea of the text?	How do you know that
To tech why bees are important to the world and what they do to help. Also all about the pollen.	By reading the text ?

Fish in a tree - Chapter 10

 This term we are reading a book called fish in a tree, we are now up to chapter 10 and our teacher gave our class some question that we had to answer about the book here is my answers. 

• Which character would you most likely admire?  The charter most likely to admire Mr Daniels, because he is so kind to Ally and didn't just think that she is bad because of what the other teachers said. Also he is calm to everyone in the class.

• Which characters do you dislike the most? I most dislike Shay and Jessica the most because of how they treated Ally, like being all fake and pretending to be her friend just to make fun of her. 

• Which character would you most likely be friends with? I would like to be friends with Ally so she does not feel alone  and she has someone to talk to if she wants to. 

• Which character would you most likely learn from? I think I

am most likely learn from Mr Daniels again because he is inspiring to me of how nice he is to everyone and does not care what other people think of anyone and gets to know that person himself. 

• What charter would you like to get to know more about? I would like to know more about her brother Travis because maybe he could help her talk and help her with her school work. Also making new friends.  

New Zealand

For writing this term we are focusing on reports writing For our first one that the done we had to pick a county or a animal I picked New Zealand. Here it is   

 New Zealands is a country in the pacific made up of islands. The popultion of New Zealand at the start of 2021 4,860,643 and has increased 0.8% from 2020 .  Every sport is an important part of life in New Zealand. Heaps of tourists visit some amazing places across New Zealand . There are no deadly animals in New Zealand and our most important one is our native animal is a kiwi. Also did you know that New Zealand is the first country to see the sun rise?

Although we have many animals, none are deadly. We have one native animal that is  kiwi, in New Zealand There are about 68,000 kiwi left. We're losing 2% of our kiwis every year that's around 20 per week. We also have other native animals such as Bats/pekapeka, Invertebrates Marine mammals, Marine fish,  Freshwater fish, Kea.

Did you know that over 3.8 million tourists visit New Zealand every year? It has increased by 0.7% over the past couple of years. New Zealand is the 4th best tourist destination in the world, the first top tourist attractions is  Fiordland National Park, in the South Island  Fiordland National Park is one of the wettest places in the world it avengers about 182 days of rain per year and also has hundreds of hundreds of temporarily waterfalls from off all of the mountains, so if you ever decide to go to visit Fiordland National Park I suggest you take a warm jacket just in cause it rains. 

Rugby union is by far the most popular sport in New Zealand, the NZ sports TV selection is usually 50% rugby and 50% every other sport. We also have other really popular sports like rugby league, cricket, soccer, basketball and netball. New Zealand has won 103 medals in olympics, winning their first official gold medal in 1928 won by Ted Morgen in boxing. 

New Zealand is a cool little country and I would recommend one day if you ever get the chance to come and visit you do so.

Attracting The Bees

 

For one of our bees tasks this week we had to find a why to attract the bees in our school garden. Here is what me and my friends have come up with that we are now working on.  

Fish in a tree - letter from Ally

 Ally Nikason

Pump school, U10 

AUS, Melbourne 

Tuesday 2nd March 2021

Dear Mr Daniels 

   

I might not show it but I am so happy to have you as my teacher this year. I know that it is weird that I am writing to you when we see each other everyday at school, but it is easier to write than say. I know we have just met but I feel like I can trust you and can tell you and to know more about me. The reason I don’t like to do my school work is because it is really hard for me to read so the way I talk about things is not from the writing it is from the pictures that go with the writing. That's why I got Mrs Sliver that card last year because the bright yellow flowers on the card looked nice but i just could not read the words. I hope you can help me and not think I am dumb or stupid. 

Yours sincerely, 

Ally Nickerson 

We are read a book called fish in a tree we have to pretend that we were one on the charters in the book writing s letter to anther charter in the book. I am Ally and I and writing to her teacher Mr Daniels. Here is my letter.

My Visal Mihi

Here is my visual mihi  all about me!

Fish in a tree - Chapter4Summary

 This year my class has been reading fish in a tree a book about a girl that finds it hard to make friends and do school work. My teacher set a task to write up a summary about chapter four, here is mine. 

Fish In A Tree 

 

Shay and Jessica were sarcastically being nice to her but all they wanted to do was take the mickey out of her, because they knew she could not read from when they were younger and she miss said a word.

 Her Mum's the worker at the cafe that they were at, and everyday after school Ally would go there with her. 

Her Dad works in the army so they have to move around a lot for that job. The grandad moved everywhere they did and now he has passed away.
