Animal Poster

Animal Poster 

For homework, we had to do a poster about an  animal. Most of us did it at school. Anyway, we had to search up the animals  we have chosen and find their appearance, habitat, facts and diet. 

After we searched all of those things, we got to colour it in. We used colouring pencils, felts and sometimes vivid. Then we drew a sketch of the animals we had chosen. My animal is the Emperor Penguin.  

What I like best of doing this work is researching different types of penguins. 

Here's my poster. 

Some people are not finished. But others are. Wait until you'll see everyone else's.

Speech Writing

This term, my class and I are doing speeches. It was also for our homework. We do speeches every year. 

As I said before, our task for homework is speeches. We choose a topic or a made up one of our own.  My topic is about why pets deserve the same care as us. 

When were finished with it we share it out to the class. If we don't want to we can just say it out to a teacher or adult. 

After that, students all over the school get to read their speech out. Sometimes we can be nervous when were on stage but we just do what we got to do. 

Sometimes speeches can be hard but once we get the hand of it we know what to do. 

My Review Book

My favourite book seris are Roahl Dahl. His best one is Maltilda which I read all the time. The book is really thrilling,  exciting, sometimes a bit scary. It's about a special 6 1/2 year old girl with a lovely teacher named Miss Honey and both faced off Miss Honey's aunty AKA Miss TruchBull. 

I hope others will read this book cause, this will blow your mind. Maltilda has alot of tricks on her sleeve when it comes to parent bullying and  a stupid brother that dosent care about her. So, she use her mind and suddenly she has power in her. If this special chracter is in real life and you bullied her on her first day of school, then you better watch your back when your rude to her cause she knows what she's up to.

That's what I like about her. She's furious, smart, intelligent girl and her personalitly is awesome! I cant get over her. She's one of the most coolest chracters I have ever heard!

Making Gliders

In Room 4, we have been doing science experiments about how gliders work by testing them outside and finding out who's glider flies the furthest.  We used straws and  2 strips of coloured paper. 

First, we draw lines for the 2 strips and firmly cut them out. After that, there will be one big strip and one small strip in your hand. They'll both be circular shaped. 

Next, we had to make sure that the two strips are strong enough for the test outside. We then grabbed ourselves straws and used tape to make sure they'll work. 

After practising for a few minutes, Mrs Cutler announced for the test. We all lined up  on one line until we were all quiet and silent. Mrs Cutler blew the whistle that was around her neck. 

After going for a few rounds, we finally had a winner. Everyone was fine with it and went back to class. Mrs Cutler told us to write about what happened in our science booklets.  After that, we went out for refuel while playing around our gliders. 

Gif Making

My class and I did Gif Making. By making them we had to use shapes and images. In each slide a shape or image is moved to a different direction but in the same spot. 

  We all made diffrent ones. Some were short while others were long. 

The value of animals

Today, Mrs Hubbard and Starbright talked about animals that represent different values.

It was fun to talk about how the animal connects to the value because of who they are. An example is the card that shows a horse and it's value was loyal. Starbright chose these three values for herself -the owl as wise, the wolf as powerful and the cat as independent.

We talked about times when she would show these values, it was fun to hear how Starbright likes to share her wisdom with her sister and tell jokes at home! Awesome, Starbright.

We also learned about the power of a wolf, and that the pack leader is not at the front but at the back because he/her protects and cares for his/her pack. We didn't know that and we were shocked to learn this!

Lastly, we watched a video about how wolves were put back into a national park in America and how the wolves changed that place. They made this park become balanced again after being away for 70 years. We really liked to see how the wolf had a good impact on the animals and even the rivers! Wow!

I really enjoyed learning with you, Starbright. Thanks for being you!
