Reading

Yesterday my reading group learnt about a Tongan myth called Maka Feke.  Its about an octopus and a rat.  The rat was travelling by a wooden canoe when all of a sudden a strong storm broke his boat.  When he saw an octopus close to shore he asked if he could ride him to the forest promising to repay him.  The octopus agreed and swam him over.  The rat ran into the forest saying

"Hahaha I tricked you!"

This trap carries on today with a White Cowry Shell used as a rat.  The fisherman with lure an octopus over with this trap and will have enough time to catch its prey.  Here is a drawing on our activity sheet I did.

Maths

Today in maths we made 3D shapes.  You could choose out of a cone, cube, rectangle, rectangular prism, pyramid, square based pyramid and more.  I made a square based pyramid and a cone.  Here is what they look like.

Haiku Poem

In writing this term we are focusing on poems.  Today we had to write three haiku's.  I wrote one about summer, winter and a Range Rover.  This is my haiku about a Range Rover.

Fair Stalls

This year we are having a fair and each classroom is going to have a stall.  Everyone in room five split into groups and is making something for their stall.  My group chose sherbet and we will be having lime, blueberry and raspberry flavours.  We also made logos. Our group's logo looks like this.

Sun Poem

This week in room five, we have been learning about sun poems.  Each of us wrote sentences about the sun.  The poems had to have six objects resembling the sun, verbs and adjectives. This is my poem. 


The sun is a lemon
shining in peoples eyes
Its a big block of gold
scorching in the sky

The sun is a fireball
blazing brightly
Its a yellow bouncy ball
bouncing around lightly

The sun is a light bulb,
lighting up the world
Its a gold coin
bright and glistening up above

God Title Page

In R.E we learnt about God.  Each of us made a God title page introducing Him.  We learnt about who He is, what He is like and did an acrostic poem about God.  Here is what my title page looks like.
