PAIRED WRITING

In room 12, we have been doing paired writing. Paired writing Is when we have a writer and a tutor to help the writer to put more interest In their stories. I am a tutor, and my Buddie Is Savannah.

3 things I have learnt In paired writing is to actually stop and change my mistakes Instead of just leaving It there when I write, Use capital letters and put more effort in my writing.

2 comments I gave on my Buddie was that she's really Improving and that she's putting more Interest In all of her stories.

1 thing that has challenged me Is If my Buddie forgets what she was gonna write, I have to remember what she was gonna write.

here is a photo of me and my Buddie. 

the production

3 things I enjoyed about the production was:
 The costume's and face paint we got to wear on the stage.
 The dance we did.
 I had loads of FUN!

2 emotions I experienced. When and why?
 I felt nervous when I went on the stage cause all the audience were looking at me
 I felt frustrated when we were waiting to go on the stage because the juniors and middles wouldn't keep quite.

1 thing I found the challenging was:
Trying to keep in time with everybody when we were doing our dance. 

cross country

On the 24th August, we had cross country. It was really muddy and wet but we made It through the day. My race was 4th. Bailey came 1st, Kayla came 2nd, I came 3rd, Brooke came 4th and I think Ariana came 5th. My Mum and Dad was very proud of me because I am going to Inter schools. When we got back, (we were all covered In mud so) we got hosed down by Mr Peachy. It was a very long  day for all of us but we all had fun. :)
here Is a photo of the winners (which I was In :) )
I hope you like It

MY SPEECH

On Wednesday 6th June, Room 12 presented their speeches about discovery. I did my speech about Thomas Edison and how he made the light bulb. 3 things I thought I did well for my speech was... I spoke loud and clear, I used eye contact and I used props to entertain my audience. 2 improvements for my speech was I am quiet shy but I was confident to speak in front of my whole class, I put a lot of effort to it. 1 thing I learnt from my speech was that Thomas Edison wasn't the first person to create the light bulb but he made a better version, one that could replace the gassy lamps. Here is a video of me doing my speech. Please enjoy :)         

In my math group, we have been learning about jumping in 10's.We were given some question's to solve like 67+22=? and I would solve it like this. 60+20=80  2+7=9  80+9=89. Did I get it right? Yes I did. I think I have improved in my math, so my teacher might just change me into the next group, and if I did...YAY!

Here are some questions you can solve. try it by what you have learnt.
1.24+56 =       2.34+56=       3.59+20=       4.67+23=     5.89+56=
comment back to tell me the answer you have solved.

Remembrance assembly

In room 12 we did an assembly about Remembrance. It was about in the newspaper, 2 MAD scientist invented a time travel invention. Then 3 ordinary kids (which one of them was me) walked by and they heard about the Invention, they said "we heard about the Invention in the paper". Later on, the scientist said "sure we are! now, who wants to go on a time travelling adventure". After the scientist said those words, the kids said "WE WILL WE WILL", so the kids and the scientists went back In time to WAR . They went all the way back to when the Gallipoli landing happened and also when the Anzac's were training for war. We all learnt something new like... I learnt how hard It was to get up the terrain at Gallipoli landing. After the trip, there was a memorial service and Brenna said a speech about the people who died at war . Then after the speech, the time travelers laid the wreaths for REMEMBRANCE of the Anzacs.

REMEMBRANCE

In room 12 we have been learning about Anzac day. Anzac day happens on the 25th of April to remember the ones that went to war for us, which were the Australia and the New Zealand Army Corp.  It all started when they, by mistake, went too far North and ended up at this place called Gallipoli.Then, when they realized that, they were getting attacked by there enemies, the Turks, they had no choice but to fight for their lives. 2271 New Zealand's and 8500 Australian's died from that massive fight. Anzac day is so special to us, so we decided to make a wreaths for the Anzac's, so they know that we will remember them. If you want to come and see our wreaths and how we made them, come to room 12 and we can tell you more about Anzac day.
