My Factory-tastic Food Factory Letter

WALT persuade people to build/not build the factory on our courts. We received a letter from Fletchers Food Factories. They wanted to replace the courts and the old playground with a factory and parking lots.

Dear Freddie,

I believe that Fletchers Family Food Factories is fantastic for our school.

Building a factory on our courts would be great because they will give us a contest to create a new playground for Room 4 and 5. We don't need to pay for it. It will have a wooden castle, slides, bridges and other obstacles. Without the playground, we wouldn't exercise and we wouldn't lose weight. Do you want to design the new playground? Designing the playground is awesome, playing in the playground is fun, playing in the playground makes us fit.

Another reason why building a factory on our courts is great because they will give us CCTV. Without CCTV, thieves will steal our things. CCTV is a security camera that has a TV to see if thieves are about to steal our school property. Would you want your things to be stolen? You would be sad and you'll get told off from the teacher. CCTV is cool, CCTV is great, CCTV is the best camera ever!

The final reason why building a factory on the top court is great because there is going to be light traffic.  There is going to be less cars which makes less smoke and less noise. There is going to be a small car park replacing the old playground replacing the bottom court. Would you like the noise level the heavy traffic makes? It will distract your learning your playtime, and your other important learning.  Less cars, less smoke, less noise. 

If we have a factory, we can have a new park for Room 4 and 5, we can have the best security camera and there is going to be less traffic. Fletchers Family Food Factories is fantastic on our courts.

Yours Faithfully,

A Note for Bullies

We are learning about bullying. Bullying can be teasing, lying and other bad things you can do to a friend. Bullying has to stop! Bullying is bad, bullying makes people sad, bullying makes people mad.

Stop bullying others and start being nice!

My Three-rific AFOREST T

We are learning about AFOREST. I know I have learned about AFOREST by knowing what it is. This is a picture of what T means and examples of T:

This is a picture of my persuasive text:

Our 24 Equation Board

WALT make equations to make the same number. I know I had made equations to make the same number by making a lot of equations. This is a picture of alot of equations with the number 24:

A Beet-tastic Food Pyramid

We are learning about our bodies and how we can look after it. I know I can know learned about our bodies by making a food pyramid to know what is healthy to eat and what is not. This is me and my group's food pyramid:

On the top of the pyramid are the fats, sweets and oils. The food that are inside is a piece of cake, pancakes, fudge, a cookie, chocolate, fries, and a lollipop.

Below the fats and oils are the Dairy and the Meats. In the Dairy section, there is butter, cheese, ice cream  cottage cheese, milk, and yogurt. In the Meats section, there are fish, steak, sausage/hot-dog, and chicken.

Below the Dairy and the Meats are the Fruit and Veges. In the Fruit section there are strawberries, watermelon, a apple, rock-melon, a orange, peaches, a pear, a pineapple, grapes, and a banana.  In the Veges section, there are tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, squash, carrots, corn, potato, broccoli, beets, a pumpkin, and a onion.

Below all of those sections is the Grains. Inside the Grains are donuts, a muffin, bologna, nuts, bread and cereal, brown rice, macaroni, spaghetti, egg, a cupcake, and a pretzel.

My Structure-tastic Persuasive Writing

WALT put a persuasive text in structure. A structure is something put in order. A structure of a persuasive writing is when you have a thesis at the start. There are three main reasons with evidence and facts. We have evidence and facts to support the three main reasons. Then we finish with a conclusion. I know I have put a persuasive text in order by placing the pieces of structure in order. This is what I have learned:

My Sweet-tastic Ad

WALT discover why we have ads, how they attract attention and who they target. I know I have discovered why we have ads, how they attract attention when I have learned what it is about and who is it targeting. This is a picture of a ad I found:

The ad is about Otago University. It is targeting the people who want to go to the university and the people who are well-rounded and well-grounded. The lollies help to target young students.

My Estimate-a-lous Maths

WALT create our own estimations, measure them, then compare them. I know I have created my own estimations when I have estimated the number of non-standard things that can fit inside the shape. Here are some pictures of my estimations.

In this photo, I estimated that 8 shoes could fit in the newspaper, and I was correct. My classmates also estimated that 8 could fit.

In this photo, I estimated that 10 counters could fit in the shape, and I was wrong. Only 6 counters could fit in the shape. Kolio also had the same estimation as me and he was wrong too. He got 11 counters that can fit in his shape.

In this photo, I estimated that 20 books can fit in the mat, and I was wrong again. Over 100 books can fit the mat. My classmates estimated 40, 100, and 500.

My Persuasive Map for School Uniforms

WALT use a persuasion map in the correct structure to persuade somebody. I know I have used a persuasion map in the correct structure by writing a thesis, three main reasons, three facts and examples to support my reason, and a conclusion. This is my persuasion map about wearing school uniform:

My Respect-a-lous Mind Map

WALT discover the true meaning of respect. Our group made a mind map that shows what respect means to us. I know I have learned the true meaning of respect by making a golden rule that represents the true meaning of respect. This is our mind map we have made:

Our Oblong-some Non-Standard Unit of Measure

WALT use non-standard measures to find the area of a shape. A non-standard unit of measure is something you can use measure the area, but it can be different shapes and sizes. Mrs Richardson told us to draw our own shapes in the playground with chalk.  We drew the shape, then we estimated that 4 students will be able to sit in it, and we were correct. I know when I have used non-standard measures to find the area by estimating it. These are the pictures we took of the chalk and when we were inside:

In this photo we made and made an estimation of how many people could fit sitting inside the shape. We were trying to find out the area of our shape using our bodies. This is a non standard unit of measure. A non standard unit of measure is something that you can use to measure something, but it is a different shapes and sizes. 

We were right! We estimated that 4 students could fit 

in the area  of our shape.
