History of Rugby

For reading, we are learning about the history of rugby. To show our learning we published one of our tasks. Here is a photo of mine:

World War 1

In class we got sent souvenirs of World War I. The one I got was telegram. It was the main communication back in World War I. The first letter said he was doing splendidly. The next letter was a complete shock as it said he got bullet wounds in his thigh. The third letter said he was seriously ill and the next one was the saddest saying that he had died in action. These were what most telegrams were like. It was really fun researching about these souvenirs. I hope I get to research a different souvenir soon.

Raymond Huber Visit

At school we got a visit from an author called Raymond Huber. He told us about his books mainly about bees. His bee books are called Flight Of The Honey Bee, Sting and Wings. He told us funny stories about his childhood and about the things you have to do to have a published book. It was really fun having an author in to visit. I hope we have another one soon. 

Felix

In class I have been reading a book called Once by Morris Gleitzman. He is a Jew in the time of World War II. He takes daring moves and tries his hardest to survive in this time. 

Matagnifale and the whale

 In reading we have been learning about Pacific myths. I chose this one because it was interesting and different. We presented our learning on a slide.

Using Sketchpad

In class we did a book review on our Chromebooks. I did the book Smile. We wrote a description about our favorite character and had to draw a picture on our Chromebooks. Our teacher found an app called sketchpad and then we drew a picture.

Book Week

This week it was Book Week. Book week is where for a week we focus on reading. On Monday the seniors (year's 5&6) did a school lit quiz. There were three rounds and every round had different topics. On some days of the week different authors came and talked to us about their books and how they are made. 

On Friday there was a reading scavenger hunt. The reading scavenger hunt is where you get into a group of three or four of different year levels. This year I took my own group. We got a piece of paper of twenty questions that were scattered around the school. We ran around and when you have wrote down all the answers you run to the turf and you hand in the sheet. The first five groups papers get marked and whoever gets the most right wins a prize. My team actually won and we got to spend some money at the book fair. 

Later on that day, we had a book parade and everyone came as a book character. I went as Hermione Granger. Book Week was so fun! I can't wait for next year. 

Country Research

In class everyone chose a country to do research on and I chose the country France. Here are some facts. 

1. I learnt that Marie Antoinette is a very famous person 
2.  They have lots of different celebrations 
3. The capital of France is Paris
