Summer Learning Journey 2018/19

At the end of every year we have a Summer Learning Journey programme running.

The Summer Learning Journey is a great way to stay smart or get even smarter over the holidays. Teachers have discovered that at the end of the year you are smart but over the holidays your knowledge drops and at the start of the next year you have to waist all that time getting back to that stage. By the time you have got to that stage it would be the end of the year and you would just keep repeating it over and over again.

You will complete tasks on their site and get points. There are bonus challenges that are worth 10 points. Some of the activities include Land, Sea and Air.

For a prize I would like one of those fancy coloring in books and a Warehouse Gift Voucher.

Pyramids of Giza

For literacy our focus is working on different styles of writing.
For our information report we had a choice between the pyramids
of Egypt or the extreme weather. The most challenging
thing for me was finding the facts.
The easiest thing was writing it down .

How To Brush Your Teeth

For Health we have been learning about keeping yourself clean. We watched a video. We had to create a slide of how to teach 5 year olds to brush their teeth. We had to tell the 5 year olds how long to brush your teeth and things like that. The hardest thing I found was coming up with the idea of doing it in the bathroom and creating characters. My next step is to make my slideshow easier to understand. Maybe next time I could make the bad guys talk and move around more.

Life Education

This week Harold the Giraffe came to us with his friends Amanda and Jo. We might have somebody else today. Our class talked about being a team and personalities. I think it's good that we all have different personalities because otherwise life would be SUPER boring. If we didn't think differently then nothing new would be invented like beds, chairs and tables. It was fun. I enjoyed it!

Activating Prior Knowledge For Narrative, Characters and Questions.

We are leaning to ask questions before, during and after reading to engage with the text and make inferences. Also to look deeper at characters to see how they develop and impact a story.

We have talked about Narratives, Characters and Questions and what our prior knowledge is for those topics.
NARRATIVES
I know that Narratives are FICTION stories and they can contain mythical creatures such as dragons or unicorns.
CHARACTERS
I know that Characters are the people or creatures in the story. They have a name and generally their own special personality. In most Narratives I know there are princesses and princes living in great big castle.
QUESTIONS
We have talked a lot about questions and what I know is that there are 2 different types of questions. "Right" there questions and "Think and search" questions. Right there questions are where the answer is in the text and think and search questions aren't in the text but basically the name of the question "Think and search" gives what it means away.

If there is anything else you know about Narratives, Characters or Questions please let me know in the comments below.

Chemical Changes



This term I have been learning about Chemical Reactions and Chemical Changes in the kitchen.

A Chemical Reaction is where you mix substances and once you are done you can't get them back. For example making Jelly. When you mix the substances and let it set the result will not let you get the substances back. BUT THE RESULTS ARE TASTY!!!!

I didn't really find anything challenging but I really enjoyed it because I LOVE TO COOK.

This is one of the Science methods we used.

Phonic Prefixes

For phonics the off phonics group do word searches. They are different than the real ones you would do for fun. You get given 4 prefixes and you have to find words that start with those prefixes the 4 prefixes were sub, com, pro and en. There are 24 words to find each time. This is not the only thing we do sometimes we need to make something to teach somebody else about prefixes.

Measurement Maths

Title -  Measurement


For our strand Maths we have been looking at measurement.
We have learnt that 1 metre equals 100 cm and that there are 1000 metres in a kilometre.


We have also learned how to measure objects around our school.


The most challenging thing about measuring is deciding weither we should do height, length or width.
The activity I enjoyed most was todays activity where we went outside and measured out there because there was alot more things to chose from.

My group measured the junior sandpit and it was 8.6 cm high. This measurement can also be written as.

Using Our People Powers - Make Their Day

Today we talked about how we can make people's days. During this week I will make people's days by:
  • Giving Them a BIG Smile
  • Giving Them Compliments
  • Include People in my Games
  • Give People Nice Greetings
I will catch up with you next week to let you know how I got on.


Last week I said I would give someone a big smile, Give somebody a compliment, Include people in my games and give people nice greetings. During the week at Road Patrol I gave quite a few drivers a BIG smile and I could tell that I made their day because they smiled back at me happily. I gave my friend Sandra a compliment too. I said I liked her glasses because they were cool. I included some people in my games on the playground as well. In the mornings I always greet the teachers and sometime give them a hug. I always felt warm inside when I made someone's day. If you make someone's day then maybe they will make your day too.

My Persuasive Writing

In literacy for writing we have been learning how to write persuasive writing and persuade someone.

To persuade someone it is like convincing somebody to do or believe something. It was hard to persuade somebody at first but then we learnt more about it and it became easy. Hopefully my writing will persuade my best friend Maia.




Dear Maia You really need to stop shouting every now and then. Don’t you know that shouting is not going to get you anything or anywhere?

 This is why you shouldn’t. First because a lot of people don’t think it is necessary. They probably don’t think it’s necessary because it’s not important to shout all the time.

 Then you might get told off by the teachers for shouting in class and we don’t want that to happen do we? Nobody wants to get in trouble.

 You sometimes give me and others headaches. Sometimes even the teachers get really bad headaches from all your short and loud shouting. Lastly is because it gets really, seriously, super duper annoying.

You could also lose your voice and you won’t be able to sing in choir. That would be pretty bad wouldn’t it?

 So please stop shouting a lot especially when you get excited. Just remember next time, don’t shout.

The Door In The Wall

In Writing I have been learning about WOW words and vocabulary for impact. We looked at a picture and thought critically about it. I found it challenging to pick the best ideas for my story because there were so many good ideas. For example Fairy's, Gnomes, Ant man because our picture was a tiny door in a wall. 

To read my story you might need to zoom your page in.

My Vapourising Machine

My Vapourising Design

This week for literacy my group The Boy In The Dress were learning about black holes and we read a book called Beyond The Black Hole. We also watch a few videos about black holes. Black holes are quite interesting. In the book Beyond The Black Hole the characters in the story used a VAPOURISING MACHINE to destroy planets and collect resources to help the planet earth. For our activity we had to create a vapourising machine on google drawings. It was fun creating all the shapes and labeling everything. I like learning about black holes!

Being Responsible With Chromebooks



In Cybersmart I have been learning about being responsible with Chromebooks.

First we put our Prior Knowledge on a padlet. Then we buddied up and created a poster or infographic about being responsible with Chromebooks.

I found it hard because my buddy had to do testing so I had to do some myself.

What was easy was that I knew what colors and stuff she liked so she would like it too.
