Why It's Important To Speak Out Against Bullying?

Today for Inquiry we were discussing why it's important to speak out and stand up against a bully. Bullies come in lots of different sizes. It is important to stop a someone from bullying a child because they are smaller and can get hurt very easily. If you see someone getting bullied you should help them and tell the bully to cut it out and stop bullying him/her, you attention seeker. Then ask the child if they're ok, and say don't show your emotions. Above is a short skit that Jaydon, Ofa and I have made about standing up to bullies.

Why It's Great Being Me!

It is great to be me because I am 12 years old and when I am older I want be a good businessman and make my parents proud of me. I am different from other kids because I like different foods. The foods I really like is Nandos, Pizza and Rice. In my spare time I like to play video games, Play with my friends and Play soccer. If I could be someone else I would be Cristiano Ronaldo because he has a great personality, he is not arrogant and he is an awesome Football player. If I had one wish, I would wish for unlimited wishes.

Key Into Inference - Map

 This week for reading my group (Ruru) has been doing Key into inference. I read text 5 which was Kim. It was about a boy name Kim who came home in the night without anyone in his house. He looked around his house and didn't hear or see any of his family members. When he went to the kitchen he brought out a torch from the kitchen draw and shone onto the table. On table there was a letter which said ‘Have gone to the vet, we shouldn’t be too long’. After reading the text we were given questions to answer like what time of day was it? My answer was the time of day was night time because in the story it says he stood for a while, until his eyes were used to the dark. We had to use part of the question and part of the text to get our answer. At the end there was a activity we had to do. We had to Draw a map showing the directions from our bed to the kitchen for a drink of water if the power was out and we couldn’t see. The DLO above shows you my how to get from my bedroom to my kitchen in my ho

Two Day Wonder Poem

Today for reading our group Ruru were doing poems. We had to read a poem called Two Day Wonder and then answer some questions about it. Today I learnt a new word called juxtaposition. The thing I found hard about this task was listing the words because it was a bit tricky finding them.

There is a clever contrast between the way the poet describes yesterday and today.  List all the words that give you a feeling of being sick, sad, depressed or bored. - Grumbled, Sulked, Dragged, Silent, Yawned and drooped

Now list all the words that describe feeling well, happy, bright and active from the second verse. - Gallops, Shines, Dances, Swish, better, Hurry, flying and clatter

The lines from each verse matchup 1 also.  List five of the opposite images.  This first one is done for you.

The street stretched silent - Cars swish, skateboards clatter.

Clouds dragged, low and slow - Clouds hurry, high and flying.

The World yawned and grumbled - The World shines and dances.

My bike lay on the drive - My bike waits by the garage.

The Dog sulked in his basket - The Dog gallops around the house.

Washing dropped on the line - Shirts, sheets, socks stream in the breeze.

This is called juxtaposition.  The fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect.

Careers - Surgeon

In LS2 we have been exploring careers. Recently we completed a careers quiz. At the end it recommend a bunch of jobs we should do. One of the ones I got recommend was a Surgeon. I was interested in that because I get lot's of money. We then needed to make a DLO on the career we found most interesting. I found a lot of interesting facts. There are also a few requirements you need to meet if you want to become a Surgeon. 

Capitalisation

Today for our writing challenge we were learning about Capitalisation. For our task we had to rewrite some sentences that had no capitals letters. I found this task was easy because I got all the letters in the right place. 

Fraction Extranction

For maths this week our group were dividing fractions. We had to complete four set of questions. It was really hard, till we found out a new strategy called cross multiplication. After we had learnt that we were whizzing through the questions. I found this task the most challenging so far. The last thing we had to do was make a DLO. We had to choose one problem to solve, and include our strategy.
