My Book Review

In Room 5 for Book Week we had to write a book review.  I wrote a review on the Ruby Redfort series.  The author is the well-known Lauren Child.  Here is what my book review ended up like:

This is what Ruby Redfort was about.  Ruby Redfort was a 13 year old girl who got recruited as a code cracker for a secret agency called Spectrum.  Ruby has to solve a lot of codes and mysteries that end up putting her into great danger every time.  I highly recommend this book.  

Water filter experiments

In Room 5 we have been learning about water safety.

 We had to do an experiment with one other person 

and try to create a water filter out of any 4 materials.

 These were our options: Cotton balls, Sand, Paper

 towels, and Bark. Me and Kayano used Cotton balls 

and paper towels. What you had to do was have two 

containers one with a hole on the bottom and one

 with no holes. You had to place the one with the

 hole on top of the other one. Then you had to put in

 your chosen materials and then pour water on the 

materials. The water had Cooking oil,Paper, and

 Compost in side. Me and Kayano's filter worked

 OK. All the bits didn't go through but our end

 result was a bit yellow. I really enjoyed doing

this experiment.

Cross Country

Today was Cross Country.  We have been training
 hard for a few weeks. The track we ran was long
 but we had to do it twice!  It was exhausting.  I
 came 8th out of 11 people.  Lucy came 1st,
 Jemima came 2nd, Soeun came 3rd, and Hannah 
came 4th.  Here are some photos of Cross Country. 

Samoan language week

This week was Samoa week.  We did lots of fun and
 cool activities.  One of the activities was about a 
myth. You had to read it and then do activities on it. 
There was also a worksheet titled 'All about Samoa'. 
 You had to fill it out and then decorate it.  This is 
what mine looks like.

Country posters

In Room 5, we have all been making country posters. My country was
Spain, I had to research lots of facts about Spain and then make a
poster.  There were lots of countries to choose from. It took a while to
get them finished but the end result was great! I'm very proud of my
country poster and I think I put a lot of effort in.  The most difficult part
was colouring in the Spanish flag because there were so many little
details. I really enjoyed making the posters and researching lots of
interesting facts!

ANZAC Brouchures

It was the 5th of May.  ANZAC day had arrived.

 To celebrate this day we made ANZAC day

 brochures.  I partnered up with Allessandra.  Our

 brochure was about Middleton Beckett, A man

 who went to war at 18 years old.  Sadly, he

 died when he was 19, caused by his wombs. 

 Here is a picture of our brochure.

My goals

In Room 5 we have all chosen some goals for the term.
We had to make one for Reading, Writing, and Maths.

My goal for Reading is to understand the main idea of the text.
My goal for Writing is to use a variety of creative describing words.
Also, my goal for Maths, Improve my multi digit subtraction.

I hope I can improve on all of my goals this term.
