Bully Free Week

                    Bully Free Poster

Last week was Bully Free week, so as a task for Bully Free week we created a poster to promote it through our class and school which will be displayed in our school library. This poster informs you on what bullying is and how to prevent bullying, the criteria was to create an eye-catching, informative, creative poster which could be a collaborative poster or personal. This is my poster that I created collaboratively with other class mates.  

  

 I really enjoyed creating this poster, and I hope this poster can convince others that bullying shouldn't be happening in our school.

Have you ever been bullied, or have seen it happen? 

If so, what do you think you could do to prevent it from happening?

ANZAC Soldier Uniform

               ANZAC Soldier Uniform

This week for literacy, there was a task where you had to create and design a uniform for an ANZAC soldier going to war. For this task the criteria was to think about thickness and layers that a soldier would've worn but keeping creative and using your own ideas. So for this task, I have chosen to base my soldiers uniform on a gunner's uniform. Using a thick camouflage jacket, a thick pair of camouflage pants, a camouflage hard helmet, thick, hard leather black boots and small, brown heavy bags to carry around water bottles, extra bullets and food rations. 

This is my soldier's uniform that I have designed.

This task was really simple and was loads of fun to do. This is what I pictured for a soldier to wear.

What would you picture a soldier wearing?

Term 2 Learning Goals

                                My Learning Goals

This Term I have new goals that I want to achieve, these goals include: Literacy,Maths and R.E (Religious Education). 

Here are my 3 goals for the term.

Literacy:

This Term I want to work on my vocabulary so I can extend my sentences and use higher level words. I can do this by reading more at home and by thinking carefully about words I use.

Maths:

This Term for maths, I want to work on my fractions, decimals and measurement. I can do this by using different strategies and by practicing at home.

R.E

This term for R.E, I want to work on my reading so when I´m  reading the bible or scriptures I can pronounce words properly.

I can achieve this goal by reading the bible more and by sounding the words out aloud.

These were my goals for the term. Do you have any school goals that you want to achieve? If so what were they about, and how can you achieve that goal?

ANZAC Diamante Poem

            ANZAC Diamante Poem

This week we have been doing learning about ANZAC day, and we have been doing learning about ANZAC day with a little booklet based on ANZAC. There was one task in the booklet "Words of war" where we had to find a poem about ANZAC and answer questions about the poem. The poem I chose was called "The Red Poppy" and the poem read:

The red poppy is a symbol
To simply show we care
For all our fallen heroes
A loss we all share

The red poppy is a symbol 
For many we have lost
In every conflict of war
Their valour at cost

The red poem is a symbol 
Wear it with pride for them
As each and every year goes by 
We shall remember them

I chose this poem because the words were very moving and using this poem we had a follow up task. Using the poem we chose, we had to create our own Diamante poem a diamante poem includes nouns, adjectives and verbs and the poem is set out like this:

noun
adjective adjective
verb verb verb
noun noun noun noun
verb verb verb 
adjective adjective
noun

Using my chosen poem as an example, I created my own diamante   poem.

I hope you liked my post and have you ever written a poem before? If so what was it about?
