Terrific Top Tip Poster

WALT make a poster about our top tip for commenting. First, Mrs Grant told us to make a wonderful poster about our top tip. We used Google Draw to make it. This is my remarkable picture I made about my top tip:

Sketch-a-rrific Shading

WALT sketch images using a pencil. First Mrs. Richardson showed us a video about shading. Then she gave us sketching pencils and taught us how to use it for shading. Next we practice, and practiced, and practiced until we thought it was great. I sketched four rows of five kinds of shades in it. Which row do you like best?

My Clever Comment for Cyber Smart

We have been learning to write smart comments on other people's blogs. A smart comment is a positive, a specific, a thoughtful, and a helpful comment.  We are creating positive digital footprints when we are leaving smart comments, we are Cyber Smart. Here is a screenshot of a comment I have left on a blog:

My comment is a smart comment because it is specific, I made a connection, I asked a question, and I introduced myself.

Spectacular Sea Creature Facts

WALT gather ideas using different sources of information. We had to find interesting facts about the sea creatures. Here are some me and Gabby found:

1. Do you know that the anemone can sting tiny sea creatures and push them towards its mouth.
2. Limpets, barnacles and mussels can grow shells and attach themselves to rocks.
3. A hermit crab’s hard shell protects the crab’s soft body.
4. Do you know a blue whale is longer than a swimming pool and heavier than three large lorries.
5. The male humpback whales growl and whistle so loudly that they could be heard by other whales many kilometres away.
6. Humpback whales live in warm sea in Winter, but in Summer they swim near the North or South Pole where there is more food for them in the cold water.
7. Grey whales travel very long distances every year, they swim thousands of kilometres, from near the North Pole to Coast of Mexico, to have their babies.
8. Sperm whales could dive more than a kilometre deep and stay underwater for more than a hour.
9. Lobsters are excellent swimmers and they use their fanned tails to move forward and backwards.
10. The starfish turns its stomach inside out and brings it out through its mouth. This wraps its stomach around  the food and pulls it back inside after the food is digested.
11. The biggest starfish is the sunflower star, it has more than 26 arms.
12. Catfish  have sharp spines in their fins. These spines stick into any creature  that handles or tries to swallow the catfish.
13. A fish has a balloon inside them to make them float.

A Awesome Abundance Poster.

WALT experience the effects of water scarcity. Mrs. Richardson told us some words we didn't know. The names were scarcity, abundance, resources, and physical. We had to pick one word to make a poster about the meaning of the word using PiZAp. This is a poster about the meaning of abundance.

My Brilliant Baptism Poster

WALT identify the different symbols used in Baptism.
Mrs. Richardsom showed us all the symbols of Baptism. We talked about what they all meant and how they are used in a Baptism ceremony. We had to pick a symbol. Then we went on Sumo Paint and created our own picture.
This is a picture of the candle:

My Unforgettable Goals for Term Two

WALT write goals to help us measure our learning. We had to specific goals for us to remember for this term and here are my goals:


My goal for writing is to try to write long words I can’t spell. This is important because I can use that word for any other sentence to make my story more interesting. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be asking my friends and family, getting tested by my parents and my spelling buddy, I could also look in a dictionary.

My goal for Reading is to understand what I read. This is important because I can answer questions in Reading without looking in the book, to pronounce new words I don’t know, and to learn more about something. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be reading the story closely, looking at the words, and think of pictures in my head. I could also talk to a buddy or my family and teach them something.

My goal for Maths is to learn my 6, 7, and 8 times table and division. This is important because I can answer faster in my Basic Facts test. The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be asking my parents and friends, practicing, and getting tested with my parents and a buddy.
