The Lorax

In Literacy with Mrs McGuinniety we have been reading the story by Dr. Suess called The Lorax. We talked about the characters, setting, author's purpose, the problem and the solution. We looked at the characters in detail. The Lorax and The Once-ler. We used the story to find wow words and sentences that describe what they looked like and their personalities.

We described The Once-ler using wow words. We compared The Lorax and The Once-ler. We looked at what was the same and what was different about them.

Feelings Poems

                         Here are some feelings poems from some of our AMAZING Poets!


                    

Vaporising machine

In literacy my group, Boy in the Dress have been learning about black holes. We happened to come across a vaporising machine in the book that we were reading so we designed one. I found it challenging to make the planet and the vaporising machine in Google drawings.

Coconut blindfold writing

​​​

This week in writing we have been learning about how to write a persuasive argument.

I found it challenging trying to find strongly words to convince my audience.

I felt strongly about coconut blindfold writing so choosing

that topic was easy.

Flying car

This week in writing we have been learning how to write a persuasive arguments.

I found it challenging trying to find strong words to convince my audience.

I found it easy about choosing the topic because flying cars was my favourite.

Have you ever been in a flying car ? I believe that inventors should make flying cars.

Firstly you could touch a white fluffy cloud. I have always wondered what a cloud would feel like. It might feel like a fluffy pillow.

Secondly, you could go a long way with one fill of petrol, because you always have to fill up your car with petrol AND you spend more money.

Thirdly you don't have to wait for traffic, because there are no traffic lights in the sky. You can go wherever you want.

In conclusion I really would like to see a flying car in the sky.     

More Morning tea

This week In Writing we were learning about persuasive writing. I found it hard to find strong words to put in my writing. I found it easy for find what topic I was going to write about. This Topic I chose was easy to write about.

Did you know that when children have a longer morning tea they get their work done faster? I believe that if we have 5 more minutes of morning tea. The children will get their work done fast and then be able to blog their work.

I believe that if you let us have a longer morning tea, we will exercise more and we will want to get our work done faster. As we will run around a lot more we will also learn better because we would have gotten rid of  most of the energy and we will be calm.

With a longer morning tea we get a larger brain break from all the work. We will also have a some time to go to the toilet and get a drink. With more time for eating  we will also get longer to play on the playground or in the hall if there is basketball.

Please keep in mind that if we have a longer morning tea we will get our work done faster. We will also have a better time to get our work blogged faster.
