Check us out!
It's the holidays again! Over the next couple of weeks you might be really busy with your family and friends. If you have some time and want something to do, here's a couple of ideas:
Writing- Write a CHARACTER DESCRIPTION. Describe a character (mum, SpongeBob, Cinderella, Mrs Millett) in detail- what they look like, sound like and act like. Use lots of adjectives and maybe even similes and metaphors too.
You may want to include the following in your description:
1. Your character's name2. At least eight adjectives (Use a thesaurus to find colorful adjectives.)
3. A major goal of your character.
4. at least two similes
5. a physical description
6. tell character's likes, dislikes, some actions, etc.
7. What does your character wear, or carry around?
8. Your character's greatest strength.
9. Your character's greatest weakness.
10. Your character's favorite hangout.Maths-
Practise your basic facts- use any of the links on the blog
Increase your basic fact speed by completing some 5 minute frenzies- www.maths_drills.com
Bake a cake- measuring all the ingredients- take a photo of your creation to show us in class.
Take a calculator when you go grocery shopping and add up the total as you go
Make a cool creation/ machine out of geometric blocks or shapes- You can make 3D shapes out of cardboard or paper too- www.senteacher.org/wk/3dshape.php. Photograph your creation.
Draw some graphs about your own statistical investigation- ask your friends a question-e.g: What is your favourite author?

Well done to Jade and Ben who were in our top five!! Well done to everyone for a great effort with your oral language!! Can't wait to see how our finalists go next week- Good luck!
This week we had our Room 16 Poetry recitals. Everyone in Room 16 had to learn and recite an entertaining poem to the class. Our poems were marked by our peers who were looking for good poem choice, expression, voice clarity and body language. In Week 11 our three finalists will compete against the rest of the children in the Tipa team in the Poetry Finals. Good luck everyone!!
Here is a sample of our poetry recitals!!
