My Ocean Poster

In Room 5 we studied an ocean. I chose the Arctic Ocean. You could also choose the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and the Southern Ocean. Did you now that the Arctic Ocean is located in the northern hemisphere? Here is my poster.

Country Research

This week we did a country research. We got to chose a country to learn about. I chose Sweden. We had to find out things like what the flag means, where it is on the world map, clothes, food and sports. Did you know that Sweden speaks four languages - Swedish, Yiddish, Finnish and Romani. Here is my research. 

 

Pamphlet

In Room 5 we did pamphlets on someone that went to World War 1.  Me and Kayano went together. We did the Ronald McLean and Keith Hunter Story. They were best friend at school and then separated at war. Here is my pamphlet.

Anzac Slide Show

In Room 5 we got a big package. In the package there were some items from world war one. I made a slide show with Kayano. Our item was a shoulder band from one of the New Zealand uniforms.  This is my slide.  😀🐶 

Koalas

In room 5 we made posters about a animal of our choice. I chose a koala and learn about what they eat, what they look and feel like, if they are endangered or not and their babies. Did you know? that Koalas only eat eucalyptus leaves and nothing else.  Here is my poster.

 

Kids Lit Quiz

At Good Shepherd School some year sixes got chosen to participate in the kids lit quiz. The kids lit quiz is a nation wide reading competition. We are reading different books leading up to the competition. Right now I am reading Paddington and I just finished reading Alice in wonderland. I am so happy that I made one of the teams and I am very excited for the competition.

My Bird

In reading we have been learning about animal adaptations and we created our own bird and named them . My bird's name is Deno

Beaks Science Experiment

Pointed beak, flat beak and pelican beak are all the types of beaks we used for this discovery.But these things are also known as forceps, tongs and cups. First we learnt about the meanings of the words we need to know like, aim. Aim means trying to achieve something in the experiment we were trying to see what shape beak is the best for picking up food. And we learnt what will we change( the equipment), What we will measure ( the amount of food) and how we will keep it a fair test. The way we can make it a fair test by having a nice steady surface, by having the same person doing each type of food also by having the same amount of time of 30 seconds. We had an amazing time experimenting with rice, peppercorns, gummy worms and skittles and after we got to eat LOLLIES. Thank you Miss Down for this amazing experiment.

Figurative Language

Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification. These are all language features which we call figurative language. In reading we have been learning about these language features and how authors used them in their writing to make their work engaging and add interest for their audience.  We made posters either with paper pencils or flowers with examples and definitions of the language feature.Here is our figurative language poster.

Inspirational Heroes

 

During reading we have been researching people who have faced challenges and have stood up for what they believed in. They have either been a voice for those who don't have one or are a person who never gave up when facing challenges.

My person is Nelson Mandela.

Come visit Room 6 to check out my flip presentation of Nelson Mandela. 

“All things are difficult before they are easy”

"All things are difficult before they are easy"

To me, this mindset means

that you have to practice when something is hard and you’ll get good at it.

I could use this mindset

when I think I will never be good at anything or trying something new.
