To many numbers!

This week we were doing some problem solving, to learn about place value. WALT: Learn to share ideas with other people.   

Still working!

WALT improve our vocabulary by using words and phrases that enhance the feeling of our recounts (fear or sadness)

In class I needed to write a recount from the perspective (view) of a child working in a sweatshop. I chose to be a kid working in a Hasbro work shop. I think that I was successful because, I use descriptive words and phrases to enhance the mood of fear or sadness.

was I learning in writing? 

In writing I was learning how to use disruptive words and different moods like fear and sadness.  

                          A Day At The Hasbro workshop.

On Thursday I was late for work.

When I walked in the boss stormed out his office. “Is this a joke to you!” He said with a frightening voice. “ No I, sorry i’ll never be late again” my heart pouned like a drum.

As I sat down to have lunch I reminded myself about this morning “I never want to feel like that again” I said to tyra; Out of everyone in the factory my only friend was Tyra she was the only person that was nice to me.  

We worked all day sometimes I wish I could go to school. At 6:00 pm. We all had a one minute break even that wasn’t enough time to eat. As we all went back to work I saw a worker fanit. My body froze in shock. My boss came down “What happened wake her up and tell her to get back to work” he shouted. An  hour later, the worker woke up. “Master said to tell you to get back to work” I had said with a frown.

At 10:00pm,  I felt like I will never live the dream of going to school and getting a family of my own I thought to myself. As I sat there eating my lunch I could feel happiness bubbling throughout me, for I knew it was almost bed in 30 min. But as I just felt like that the boss came out and said. “You can all work for another hour” he said with no sadness. I worked to 11:00pm. I was so happy that the day was over.   

rounding like a smart learner!

This I am learning about rounding I think that I still need a bit more practice. hope you enjoy!.
       

                   

Numbers

Last week I was learning about how important it is to read instructions properly and to look at the key in graphs.

Here are a few problems I worked on. It is important that I look at the key because it tells you how much it is like a whole is 6, half is 3 and 2 is a quater.

                  Money Made at the Garage Sale

Monday	30
Tuesday	27
Wednesday	6
Thursday	18
Friday	18

Key: =  $ 6 & = $ 3

How much money was made on Tuesday?  We went  like this  6x4=24 and then i add the 3 to make 27 so that how much there are on Tuesday.

How much more money was made on Wednesday? for this one we went like this 2x3=6.

How much more money was made on Monday than Thursday? 30-18= 12 so the answer is 12.  

On A Roll!

WALT improve our writing by carefully checking our sentences and trying to add descriptive language. 

I think I need to learn more about descriptive language a bit more and use punctuation better

                                          Playing board games and waiting for the cabin

On one breezy day as I was looking outside I was tempted to go play with someone. But you know how it goes right? When you want to play with someone or do something but they don’t want too. Well, that’s what i’m talking about but one thing that they wanted to play can you guess?  It was board games like Snake s and Ladders, Guess Who? And Monopoly baking. A few minutes later, guess what showed up in my mailbox? My slime I ordered off Wish.

“YAY!” I yelled like a wild horse.   

                                                            Shonagh moved in,   

When I was going into the kitchen for a snack I may have overheard that my sister Shonagh was going to move back in. Then I said to my sister. “D’Jahn D’Jahn I overheard Mum talking on the phone. Shonagh ’s cabin is coming here today!” I said with so much joy. “Really? Or is this one of your made up stories?” D’jahn said with a big frown. “Really she is!” I said with a big smile on my dail. By the time i just told her Shonagh showed up she gave us a hug and said “I’m moving back in ” she said with loving eyes. And that filled my heart with joy.

My reflection

My feeling that day was happy, joy and excitement knowing that Shonagh was going to move back in.    

Asking and Answering questions

This week my class topic is  make money. These are new words I found the answer to.

HELP!

 WALT use a variety of precise words and phrases to add interest or information    

 To be successful we will:

• Include interesting words for said
• Use interesting adjectives (describing words) verbs (doing words) and phrases 

                                                                  Oh no help

On one lovely Friday afternoon just as I woke up from a nana nap there was something very odd by me. “Ahhh help some one want’s to eat me!” I gulped. But when I got up it was just a kitten a harmless one too. Dad dashed into the room as fast as he could. “ Are you okay?” he quavered. Just by looking into his face you could see that he was very worried. “I’m just fine dad are you okay?”   I said with a smile on my face. “ of course I am“ he said. His face lit up with joy.  

                                                              Look at this!

After that I went outside with with my most beloved sister Shonagh. “What is this?” I boasted. “you found my gem! Where was it.” She said happily. Then joy left Shonagh face alone and I can say that twice. A while later, dad came into the room. “What’s going on in here” he bragged. “Nothing much” Edward said like he didn’t care. That’s true he never cares about anyone but the truth is the truth I mean right?.          

                                                                         Why?    

“Give it back to me!” she nagged maybe 1,000 times. “Fine” I replied with a groan but that’s only because she was chasing me around. At night I thought to myself why did i find it and how did I find it and why did I give it to her? That will alway remain in my head. Also the way Shonagh was crying she could flood the whole house soon!.     

                                                   

                                                      My Reflection              

I will never forget the part when I saw my mum filled with joy and my feeling’s that day was pretty funny feeling.

My Book!

This week my class has been reading a book of our choice and I chose this book.

Cause And Effect What Happens Next?

WALT use write cause and effect sentences.

To be successful we will:

1. Think about an cause (event) and what happens because of it (effect)
2. Use cause and effect connectives such as because of this, as a result, as a consequence and when this happens…
3. Check that full stops are at the end of the idea (remember it will be simple, compound or complex)

Name:Yvette

Topic: Toxic things

One big problem is that workers are getting sick all because of making the newest tech. It's killing them, also they need the money to help their family and feed them. They don’t know how much of a risk it is to work there everyday soon or later they're going to hurt themselves or, kill themselves.

People are working in factories and because of this they are killing themselves.

I know I was successful because I used cause and effect connectives and others.

This is me and my group taking apart a computer!.

Let's Dance!

In our class we are learning about elements of dance. The dance element are body awareness, space and time. The ideas I like dancing to are growing also moonwalk and  many others.
We are making a class dance based on E-waste.

What things are  E-waste? well E-waste are devices that have become so out of fashion or that has been broken that we need a new one. What bad things are in them? All types of things for example batteries, circuit boards and lead. Back in the days were there phones like we have in our days now? The answer is no they didn’t it was so simple but when they came boom no one could get it out of there head and it was like I must have this new well every thing now in our days so just think do you want to change things up a bit?. Ask yourself that question.

Improper fraction go for the fraction action!

My Recount!

WALT use variety of sentences types simple, compound, complex (Level 4 adverb beginning)                                                    
                                                   
                                                          Not A Fair Fight,
“Wake up” “wake up” I said in my head. On a lovely Friday afternoon just after a sleep once again I was…. Tortured by my brother Edward and beloved sister Shonagh. They made me and D’jahn fight Edward took my hands and made me punch D’jahn right in the face. Shonagh then grabbed D’jahns hands and punched my tooth out, “Ouch!”. What do we get out of this? I said fearlessly. Nothing. Dad came in the room.
“whats going on in here” said my dad with anger. “ my tooth came out ” I said sadly knowing I will never have my baby tooth again. Edward and Shonagh came back saying, “ can you both ask dad if he can get some KFC please “ they both said with sadness in there eye’s so we agreed to it. “Just this once“ I replied. Me and D’jahn asked and as always it was a yes.

                                                 

                                                             Dinner Time,
Dad came back with KFC. “Now that smells yum if I can say so myself” Shonagh said with a dribble. As always, Edward was playing on his phone. “When do I get a phone” I said depressed. “When you're ready for one” dad replied. “but I am ready for one” I said back to him. “not just yet” dad said with a smile. When dad went outside with Angel our dog me and D’jahn would eat and then Shonagh and Edward came in for some. I was feeding them chips like they were my babies and when I stopped feeding them they went to D’jahn and she would slap them on the head and tell them to go away. A few minutes later this was when the fun had started.

                                                            Junk Food Time,
I thought to myself, How can I get food where is the food ? I know in my brothers room he has a whole heap of food in his room. Me and D’jahn hopped out creeped along the floor as quiet as a mice but to tell the truth mice are pretty loud. I must of been in heaven it was a world of variety full of food and drinks. A few minutes later, I was in the bed sick I knew that I was going to be sick and from there on I never ever went into my brothers room again.

 I will never forget the part when I saw my sister slap my brother Edward on the head, my feelings that day was happy, silly and sad.
