Light and Sound Experiment

This afternoon LS1 and Room 5 went to the reserve and did an experiment. We needed to put our hands up when we heard the clapper. We made a long line beside the water. Ms Kirkpatrick was at one end. When she clapped the sound traveled down the line. People put their hands up in the a wave. We saw the clapper before we heard the sound because light travels faster then sound.

Read Theory Progress

              

This graph shows my Read Theory Progress. Next term I need to make sure I try hard on every text I read.

My Opinions

This week we needed to decide in our thinking groups if we should or shouldn't have prize giving. We decided we should have prize giving. 

Grammar - Good or Well

We made a DLO to show when we use good and when we use well.

Adding Tens and Ones

We played P.V. game, watched a video, then completed this DLO.

Different Opinions

In our thinking groups we looked at a text that has different opinions. The issue was should we have prizgiving? We looked at the vocabulary and found some definitions. We talked about our own opinions. We wrote down one reason we should and one reason we shouldn't have prizgiving.

                                    

Grammar - Is or Are

This drawing shows when you use is and when you use are. Is is for one thing, are is for two or more things. 

Poem - I Hear

When I think of Rainbows End

I hear sounds like children throwing balls. 

Children having fun tapping their shoes. 

Children crying. 

Parents gulping drinks.

People eating crunchy hamburgers

Cars vrooming and backing into car parks. 

That time I went home I told my family about what I heard.

And there, just outside the rollercoaster

as if it had never ceased to be.

But I only needed to be listened to 

The air blowing leaves down from the trees

Instrument Art

Here is my pastel art. We made the instrument cold, swirly colour, and the background hot, spiky colour.
