The Great Victoria Desert

I am learning to make a slideshow on my "Desert Habitat" Activity.
I am so proud of being able to make this presentation because it helps with my learning on deserts in the world.
I found the research tricky because it was hard to find all of the information and put it in to our own words.
I found it better to work with Nicholas because he could help me if I made a mistake.
My next steps are to make presentations better.

My Peace Poem

I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.

I am so proud of being able to describe what Peace feels like, tastes like and sounds like.

It can be tricky to find descriptive and interesting words to use in my sentences.

My buddy can help me by giving me some ideas.

The next step for me in my learning is to write another Peace Poem.

ANZAC Recount

Pitch Black

It’s 2am on the 25th April 1915.  It’s pitch black.  I’m in some old squeaky landing boat.  I am startled,I feel like I’m about to die.  I am shaking uncontrollably.  My mate is pumped.  He thought it would be an adventure, but soon he realised it wasn’t.  He told me he was thinking of his family. It made me think of home too.

I knew the Turks were watching us.  I could sense something horrifying was going to happen.  I was sweating like a waterfall.  There was adrenalin pumping through my veins.  Suddenly there was a massive spark of light,I was in shock.  It came from one  of our steam boats.

The General yelled ‘’We’ve been EXPOSED!’’.  There were people dying all around me.  I was in one of the last Battalions.  Suddenly there were waves of bullets whizzing past my head.  I felt an incredible sharp pain in my leg. I  was shot. It was painful.  It was dark.  I thought to myself…...what have I  got myself into……

I am learning to write an interesting recount.

I am so proud of making my recount interesting by using similes and adjectives.

It can be tricky to the right adjectives for the right sentence.

My buddy can help me by checking my work.

The next step for me in my learning is to write an even better recount.

Peace One Day

http://www.peaceoneday.org/welcome

As part of  our Inquiry work on Peaceful Communities we have been  learning about World Peace Day  on September 21st. On Friday 19th September we held a Taster Shared Lunch with Rooms  19 and 22.   We  had to bring in a small sample of a food that we might eat at home as a family favourite  or a food from our culture.  This helps us to learn about each other’s cultures and about tolerance of others.

I am so proud of being able to work out percentage and fraction problems by myself.

It can be tricky to work out the answer.

The next step for me in my learning is to do harder questions.

"Live, Work and Play Safely" by Heather Hammonds

Live, Work and Play Safely” by Heather Hammonds

Think about an activity that you do, or a sporting activity you belong to and make a list of the rules that members need to follow.  For each rule, briefly explain why this rule has been put in place.

Rugby Union

The Rule is …..	Why this rule has been put in place…..
No HIGH Tackles	So no one is hurt or gets injured.
No Forward Passes	Because It is against the rules.
No ARGUING With The Referee	Because only the Captain can talk to the Referee.
No Shepherding	It blocks other players from tackling you.
No Distractions	Because you will get Distracted from the Game.
No Coming in from the side Ruck	Because you can get the ball easier and you can get injured.

This is an activity that me and my buddy did to show we understood the text that we read.It is about the rules of games.
