Topic

In Room Five we started passport tasks for topic/inquiry.  I have started a diorama that looks like Mission Bay.  Passport task are really fun because I like crafting and drawing.  Their are different categories and amounts of money you can earn.  If you do really well you can get bonus but you have to earn at least 200 dollars. 
The passport looks like this:

Gratitude Journal

This week in our class we started writing in gratitude journals.  Our teacher bought us each a journal in different designs.  On the front of my book it says "the most important thing about dreams: having one."  Every afternoon we write three things about what we are grateful for.  I like doing this because it makes we appreciate more.  On the first day doing this I wrote, friends, pets, and waking up in the morning. My gratitude journal looks like this:

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
