A Diorama Of London

As you know I have done a blog on what a passport 
task is so if you dont understand go and read that!  
A few days ago I finished a Diorama of London.  It 
was extremely fun to make and plan.  In my 
Diorama I made a paper big ben and a park bench 
and a person in the rain.  For the Diorama you could
 make it look like anywhere. Some people did the 
beach, underwater, Australia, Paris, Bakery and so many
 more possibilities.  It was so fun.  Here is a picture of my Diorama!

3D Shapes

In Maths we have been learning about 3D shapes.  Today we made some 3D shapes. I made a 3D cube and a rectangular prism.  The way we made them was we got a shape net. We then cut along the sides and then folded all the lines and glued it all together.  I even made my cube into a dice! It was really fun but also a bit difficult.

This is what a shape net and my 3D shapes look like!

Haiku Poem

Snow day

Wearing Pajamas

Relaxing whilst your in bed

Sipping hot chocolate

 That was my haiku Poem!  Haiku's are easily my 

favourite Poem.  In class we all wrote 3 Haiku's.

Then we published our favourite Poem. My other

two poems were about School and Art.  I really 

enjoyed doing these.

Passport Tasks

This Term we have started our passport tasks. We do 

them every year in Term 4. A passport task is when

 we get a sheet of paper and there are a bunch of

 different activities. Each activity earns you a certain

 number of points, but, your teacher can add or 

deduct points due to the standard of your work. All

 the activities are in a column that earns you a 

number of points. Different activities can earn you

 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 points. I’m really excited

 to do the Passport tasks!

Product for the Fair!

This year is the school fair! The fair is once every 2 years.

 This year we all got into groups in our class and now we 

have to make a product to sell at the fair. My group are

 making bookmarks! On each bookmark we are going to 

do a theme and colour it in. The themes are all gonna be 

different so they appeal to different genders and ages. We

 are gonna sell 2 bookmarks in a pack and tie them 

together with a ribbon. Right now we are only planning 

our product. I'm so excited for when we get to make the

 real bookmarks!

The Pacific Ocean

This week in Room 5 we have chosen an ocean to 

study. I chose the Pacific Ocean. I learnt heaps of 

new and interesting facts like, What the deepest 

point is and what sea creatures live in the Pacific 

and the size of the whole ocean!

It was also really fun creating the poster. Here is 

what mine looks like!
