We have started journal writing in class. Miss Taylor found us some books which we are using as our journals. We got to make a cover for our books and put anything we wanted on them. Today we wrote our first post in our journal, it was a bio poem. This is what mine turned out like.
On Friday THE SNOW ARRIVED AT LAST. School was open but it started snowing really heavy so Mr Livingstone had to cancel school and our parents game and got us. So school was only open for half an hour. As soon as I got home I got all my ski gear on and my brothers and I went to play in the snow. Here are some pictures of us playing in the snow.
Since the start of the term room 8 has been doing AVAILLL. We have watched lots of cool movies like Meet the Robertons, The Water Horse, Horton Hears A Who, Nim's island and now we are watching Because Of Winn Dixe. I really enjoy doing AVAILLL because it is fun watching the movies and there are lots of cool activities we have been doing.
Do the Harlem Shake! Today for house time at school green house [my house] did the Harlem Shake. We were doing this to show the other houses our really cool chant and video. All of green house had to dress up in green costumes and practice some crazy dance moves. Mum found me a green sleeping bag for my costume. I had to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle on the floor when we were dancing about. It was really cool, there were some really crazy dance moves people did.
Today we made our title pages for our portfolios for term 2. We used a new ict tool called poster my wall, it makes really cool posters. This is mine...
Over the last few weeks our class have started doing character descriptions for writing. Since we have been doing AVAILLL for reading we have done descriptions on the main characters in the movies. So far we have done a description on Horton, Angus and now my Brother Aleks. I really like doing Character descriptions because they are fun and creative.
cross country The best part was: crossing the finish line because I came 1st and if we had to do more of the track I would have been more tired. It was interesting when: I had to run through the creek because it wasn't as deep as I thought it would be, I thought it would be wider. I thought: the track would be longer and have less obstacles in the way.
