Book Week

Last week was Book Week and we had to dress up as a character from a book. I dressed up as Paula from Love Amongst the Haystacks. We paraded around the hall in the morning at 9:00 o'clock straight. I was half excited and half scared because I thought other outfits were great. My favorite outfit was the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland which is one of my favorite books and movies. The judges were Mrs Sanderfier which is the principal, Mrs Hills and Mrs Harwood were the judges. Me and my friend were pointing out which outfit we liked in every class. 

Then we had a class photo, we did a nice photo and than a silly one.

Then a black hole appeared and they got sucked in but she landed on the chair that was in the magic show. After that she faints again.

Reflection on year 5 and 6 dance unit

Year 5 and 6 dance unit

WALT:

• Perform dances from a variety of cultures
• Use dance vocabulary to describe dance
• Create simple dances using a variety of movements from different cultures and present our group dances to others.

What did you learn about how to compose a dance?

I learned that we had to make it really simple and in sequence.

What did you learn about performing a dance?

That you had to keep in time and think about others.

What dance or dances did you enjoy the most and why?

I enjoyed the sasa because you got to make your own dance.

I would rate myself as excellent because I learned all the dances very quickly.

Grid Math

This morning we did mapping  and remapping while learning coordinates. Most of us had to do it pen and paper because we couldn't log on.

We were each given a map with coordinates and we had to draw things we use everyday. Then we made very hard questions about the map.

This is the map I made...

This week we are learning about ratios. Ratios are like 1:2 and we also simplified ratios like 9:27=1:3. We also learned about mapping this week too.

Art Center in Henderson

Click this link for facts about Andrew Hall

Yesterday Room 2 And Room 3 went to the Corban's Art Center. We met a lady named Amie who showed us through the tools and safety. We got to make whatever we wanted using scrap material and we also met Andrew Hall. I decided to make a flower pot with the help of my friend Kaitlyn.

This is what it looks like...

I enjoyed the collecting the materials because there was so much amazing stuff you can use.

The Challenging part was joining things together because things wasn't staying in place and they kept falling or breaking off.

If I were to do this again I would make something bigger like a container for my collections.
