There was a new boy called William . He sat in a wheelchair and his wheelchair had super powers like invisibility floatation device and super speed. William Had a secret panel in his wheelchair . A elephant had escaped from the circus . Williams wheelchair isn’t normal it’s invincible. Goal- choose and write my own stories Use speech effectively, Try to use punctuation in my story Everyone stood iced in fright the students gasped others screamed “AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! The Principal fainted. William was a new boy, he had a secret button in his wheelchair that will make a secret panel appear, William pushed another button and a microphone popped out onto his lap. William shouted “ get out of my way!” Watch out!” BREAKING NEWS Sorry to interrupt A elephant has escaped from the zoo, the Zoo keepers have warned you to watch out END OF BREAKING NEWS RING! It’s the school bell for morning tea. William wanted to use a good impression in front of everyone. Suddenly a huge circus elephant raced into the school ground and smashed the golden fence down to the ground. The kids mumbled “ Why couldn’t he have just gone through the front gate!” William said “ that’s a way that I could make a good impression in front of the whole school”! “ Watch out otherwise you will be flat as a pancake.” Everyone shuffled back the most popular kid in the school fell into a water trough, “ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Now he wasn’t popular at all. “I would feel a bit sorry for him” said William. Ok now it is time to save the day! Then William went into action and got his peanut launcher and made a trail back to the circus tent. Then he was the most popular kid at school he was happy!

Parent interview question air

Parent Interviews - Yearly Reflections My writing goal is (have you changed it, why?) - Goal- My new writing goal is to... organize related ideas into paragraphs and use linking words and phrases to link some of these paragraphs. I chose this goal because... I haven’t done it yet I think I should work on this goal because it would be challenging. I practise this by… I will work on my goal in my writing. A piece of writing I am proud of is…. The neighborhood bullies, Sean is the biggest bully in Danville Bigger than a bus. Once he lifted a bus with his bare hands. The normal sized kids bought him lunch some days. One day the normal sized children were in the bus on the way to school then Sean picked the bus up and started shaking it. He shook it so hard three children fell out, they looked rather dazed. Sean grabbed a boy by his ankles. His name was Henry Mitchell. He had ginger hair. Sean grabbed the lunchbox and said ‘’ do you have any lunch for me little nerd’’ Henry shuddered ‘’ um, you can have my chicken nuggets’’ ‘’Thanks little nerd’’. Minutes after Big Steve moved into the neighborhood, he said ‘’Hi I’m new’’. Can I smell chicken nuggets. Big Steve wants some chicken nuggets!! ”gulp “ Sean ate the whole lunchbox “Sorry all gone” Big Steve got angry. So he got a humongous pink paint can and tipped it on Sean. “ Oh whoops sorry.”Sean gets really angry. The normal sized children started laughing. “What are you laughing at or you will be next”. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ”The normal sized kids scattered into the classroom back. The normal sized children had put up with one bullie but now there was two bullies! It was time for the normal sized children to fight back. They had a group huddle and made a plan. One of the boys got a phone and searched up the number for super inflatable chicken nuggets. They ordered a super large crate of inflatable chicken nuggets. About 1 minute later a truck came and delivered the super large box of the super inflatable chicken nuggets. It got dropped off in front of Sean and Big Steve, They gulped all of the chicken nuggets down. Then Sean’s and Big Steve’s tummy’s started blowing up like a big fat Gorilla balloons. One of the normal sized children shouted VOLLEYBALL TIME. Then the normal sized children pushed big Steve and Sean up into the air and they floated into space. They started arguing. about who got them up into space “It's all your fault said Sean”why” because you tipped pink paint on me.” Well if you gave me the chicken nuggets in the first place I wouldn’t of tipped the pink paint on you and the kids wouldn’t of made us blow up like big fat gorilla balloons and we wouldn’t have floated up into space”. “How are we going to get down”? wondered Big Steve. “We will have to work together” said Big Steve “ Ok then hold my hand “ said Sean. So Steve held Sean’s hand and POP!!!!!! Steve and Sean both popped on the satellite. They were like a balloon when you try and blow it up but then you let go and it flies round the room, well they basically flew round the whole world. Finally they got back to school but they were normal sized so they were nice to the normal sized kids but then Big Stewart moved in. Dun dun dun. In maths I am currently learning (how do you feel about this, what are your next steps? Give your parents a rundown of what we do as well)… - about working together, learning about fractions and doing problems in a group. Reading - Share your reading work (talk about some of the things you do in reading.) We use cover cards, we were also reading with a buddy after morning tea and lunch. My partner was Bianca and most of the time if there was māroi words we would try to say them. Do you have any other goals you would like to share, what are you doing to achieve them? My other goal is to work on slope and speech in my writing. I will achieve them by practicing them in my writing And in my spare time Pick 3 more pieces of work from your blog (write why you are going to share them and what you were learning to do) -the neighborhood bullies - lawn mower robot rampage -the first best day ever.

New Writing Goal

Bike safety reflection

Goal- recount what I learned at bike safety with Jono

-Use speech effectively

On Tuesday Jono came to  School to teach the year fours and under how to ride a bike safely. Jono came into the class with his bike “Wooow” the year fours chanted. Jono started talking about… the frame, the wheels, the brakes, the handle bars and the flashing lights. Then Jono said “ if you were caught not wearing a helmet while riding you will get a $55 fine”. We then we went outside to do the course. We put our helmets on and  got on our bikes. THE COURSE HAD A JUMP!!! It even had a round about! after we did the course we did like sixteen laps. Then we went down to the back field for some races, but I didn’t race I helped Jono load all the spare bikes back into the big truck. Then after we finished loading the bikes I ran down to where the races were and ran in them. It was fun I hope I can do it next year!

Business reflection

Over the last few weeks we have been researching and looking at websites about our business. My group has been looking at  making YouTube videos. I have learned that you don’t have to make a YouTube account you just use your email and then boom you got a account. When you make a YouTube video you need to use boom language also add a bit of drama.We have decided we will work together as a whole class to use personal best to work at businesses that so we can get further. We will be trying to sell chickens, make graphs, make grain, compost, building nesting boxes and growing food. In my group there is Harrison Cohen and  I. We are making YouTube videos we have been working on our scripts for ages but I think we finally got.

Robot lawnmower fight back

-Goal- -retell a story in my own words Use speech effectively There was a boy named Hemi, his Dad made him mow the lawns that weekend. He absolutely hated it, it really disgusted him. He had better things to do than mow lawns. He could be building a robot, “I got it “ said Hemi. He could build a robot to mow the lawns for him. He went into the shed and got three steak knives, some old scissors, dad's old nose picker , a laser pointer that burns things wherever you point it, a blender, and some guitar strings to tie it all together and finally he gets the old computer. Hemi stayed up all night and worked on his invention. Finally it worked “ it’s alive! KABOOM!!! “Oops still needs a little bit of work”. Finally it actually worked!!! In the morning he programmed it into mowing the lawns for him. Hemi sat in a deck chair and had a soft drink. Before you know it Hemi fell asleep. He woke up to the sound of a group of people screaming. His robot was nowhere to be seen. Dun dun dun. Hemi assumed his robot was making all the commotion. Hemi raced into the city he looked around everyone was bald. When Hemi looked round he saw his robot smashing everything in sight, the robot smashed the statue of the mayor, the circus tent, the zoo, schools, apartments, banks, Keli tarlton's aquarium, Harvey Norman, Noel leeming, centre city, pet shops, the rugby stadium where Jared and William were watching the all blacks vs rabbitohs. Chicken Lala land, (made especially for kiwi, Sky, Daisy and for Mackalya. The lawnmower robot stormed out off the stadium and it to chicken lala land. Luckily The four chickens rushed out Kiwi said to sky Daisy and Mackalya “ stay safe I will be fine” “ok” said Sky Daisy and Mackalya at the same time. So they left. Kiwi went up to the lawnmower robot and whispered “you better watch out” a second later Kiwi started doing karate on the lawn mower robot. She knocked the robots head off got the scissors and chopped the robot's legs off and then Kiwi grabbed the laser and took the arms off the robot and that was the end of that.

Adventures of Isabel

Isabel met an enormous bear,
Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
how do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.
Once in a night as black as pitch
Isabel met a wicked old witch.
the witch's face was cross and wrinkled,
The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled.
Ho, ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed,
Ho, ho I'll turn you into an ugly toad!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry,
She showed no rage and she showed no rancor,
But she turned the witch into milk and drank her.
Isabel met a hideous giant,
Isabel continued self reliant
The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,
He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.
Good morning, Isabel, the giant said,
I'll grind your bones to make my bread.
iIsabel didn't scream or scurry.
She nibbled the zwieback that she always fed off,
And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off.
Isabel met a troublesome doctor,
He punched and he poked till he really shocked her.
The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills
And the doctor's satchel bulged with pills.
The doctor said unto Isabel,
Swallow this, it will make you well.

She took those pills from the pill concocter,
And Isabel calmly cured the doctor

Diary writing

"Yippee!" Room 5 has 24 fertilized eggs and there is one blue egg so that means there will be a aracana! We tried to put all the eggs in the incubator but two didn't fit so Mr Dillon cracked them open. In the first egg there was a white dot and in the second egg there was a blood spot. Then we passed the business cards around in a circle. I am looking forward to naming the chicks some names like Twinkle Toes.

What is a business???

A  business is something that makes you money.  It usually sells products or food. People are important parts of businesses. They usually have a name and they can trade things. They are not always shops they can be on the internet. Harrison and Cohen are in my group and our subject is doing YouTube videos

Weekly reflection week 8

What - All the year fours made slides with Mrs Stark about animals/creatures.

So what - Zack and my slide was about pythons Zack and I actually can work well with each other and we got at least twelve slides made. Zack had to work alone for awhile because I was at the dentist. 

Guess what- The most interesting fact about pythons is that they swallow their prey in at least one big gulp. Pythons swallow their prey in one gulp because nothing is to big.

Maths Questions

Mid year reflection

Mid year reflection 

My favourite activity so far this year was - learning about the chickens because I'm really happy when I am around chickens.

I was helpful to someone else when - one of my friends were getting bullied and I stood up to the bully and said not to be mean to my friend ever again.

Something I have learned so far this year is - my six, seven and eleven time tables because we practice them for home work.

The piece of work I am most proud of this year is - word work - spelling sentences because it is very tidy.

Something I am looking forward to this year is - cross country because I am very fast so hopefuly I get in the top three.

My next learning step is to - start reading older kids books because The books that I read, I get to the end to quickly.

Bio poem
Leah
Sporty, giggle, speedy and special.
Daughter of Roxanne and Gerald.
Sister of Abbie 
Lover of chickens/Becky, family and toys.
Who feels excited when I got crutches,
Sad when my chickens die, dizzy when I get injured.
Who needs money to buy lego, animals to hug, and friends to play with.
Who gives presents, cards and hugs to people she adores.
Who fears eruptions, because it could boil the earth, wild animals because they could kill people, cabbage because it is definitely disgusting.
Who would like a fidget spinner because my old one is broken, a chrome book so I can get heaps of games and more friends because I don’t have many
