Interveiw Questions

Parent Interviews - Yearly Reflections

My writing goal is (have you changed it, why?) - My writing goal is to use a range of  written features to engage the audience. E.g, metaphors, similes and  onomatopoeia. I have changed my goal because it’s similar to my other goal which I still need to work on.

I practise this by Working hard and concentrating on my work.

A piece of writing I am proud of is my lawn mower rampage because I worked so hard on it.

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)… In maths I am learning to minis and add big numbers together like 278 - 165 = 113. I feel like I’m getting to the stage where I can do these problems by myself. My next steps are to challenge myself a bit harder.   

Reading - Share your reading work (talk about some of the things you do in reading.) In reading we have been working on making podcasts. We have to choose a book and on a sheet of paper we have to write about the character. once we had done we recorded our selfs with a partner and  read of our sheet and read a bit out of the book we chose.

Do you have any other goals you would like to share, what are you doing to achieve them? Another goal I have is spell harder words because the level I’m on is to easy for me. I’m going to achieve this by doing my homework every night.

Pick 3 more pieces of work from your blog (write why you are going to share them and what you were learning to do)

• End of year reflection. we were learning to reflect on our year.
• Bike safety. We Were learning safety with our bike so we don’t have accidents.
• Speech board. We were had to speak about something we now well and share bits of our favourite parts.

New Writing Goal

Goal - My new goal is beginning to use a range of written features to engage the audience, e.g., metaphors, similes and onomatopoeia .

I chose this goal because I need to make my writing more interesting by using these goals.

In writing I want to get better at using poetic language.

If you were going to give yourself a message for learning in 2018, what would it be?

Let my brain get its ideas out more and say my ideas out loud.

Bike Safety

Goal - Recount what I learned at bike safety.

Personal goal - Use poetic language.

On Wednesday last week Senior Jono came to Toko school for bike safety. The year 3 and 4’s had to bring their own bikes to school.

First Senior Jonho came to the classroom to talk to the year 4’s about safety with our bikes and helmets. One of the things he talked to us about is where are the safety parts on a bike. He had his big blue and yellow bike with him. Then he told the girls to get our bikes my bike is green it used to be my brothers and my helmet is silver like a shiny screw.

Then we walked over to the basketball outline on the side of the court. We had to put our helmets on so that we could see if our helmets fat on our heads right or to see if they needed to be tightened. We had to go forward on our bikes then brake to see if the were as good as a stopping horse.

Next Jonho set up a course for us to go around at first I was a bit nervous about the course because I didn’t know if I was going to do the course right. We had a round about, we had to learn to give way and when there's a gap you can go! I ended up doing pretty well on the course. While Jono was packing up we went down to the backfield to do bike races with Johnos helper, we did two slow races and two fast races. Then it was time to end the bike safety we walked our bikes up to where the bus shelter is then we ran back to class. I had so much fun I learned that you get fined $50 for riding on the foot path I love bike safety and I would love to do it again.

 

 

My Voice Record

Speech Board reflection

What I spoke about - The batch. Our batch does not have any power so we use candles. I love watching Rowan and Olivia my brother and sister go down the doom slide.

What I did well - I Spoke fluently. I knew what I was talking about and I made eye contact.

What I would do better next time - I could relax a bit more and practise a bit more.

Maths Fractions

The name of my fraction is one eighth.

The robot invention

Runaway Robot Rampage – Complete story animated video from Ministry of Education on Vimeo.

Goal - poetic language to add description.

• Retell a story in my own words.

Every weekend Hemi had to mow the lawns because his dad told him that's how he could earn pocket money because he was completely out. He looked in his brown leather wallet but there was just a few flies flew out. There was one problem with that though he absolutely hated mowing the lawns, he would way rather event a robot than mowing the long stinky lawns. That's when an idea popped into his head, he could try and create a robot that mows the lawns.

He looked through some cupboards, he found some kitchen knifes, an old computer, his dad's nose hair trimmer, laser pointer, scissors and guitar strings to tie it together. Hemi spent all night in the shed trying to make a robot lawn mower. He put it all together, then he flicked it on and said “ ALIVE!!”  but then hi robot CABOOM!! Hemi said “oh, no false alarm” Hemi didn't give up though he tried again he spent all night rebuilding his robot.

The next morning Hemi wheeled his invention out to the lawn, he had a white silky blanket over it Hemi got the remote control, he pushed the start mower then flicked the button on the back of the robot rand away the robot went doing its job. Hemi was relaxed on a beach chair with lemonade in his hand.

Hemi was so relaxed that he fell asleep in the chair. His robot didn’t just mow the lawns it went into town. Hemi woke up to the noise of people screaming.

Hemi ran as fast as a cheetah inside grabbed his jacket then he biked into town to see what was happening. He finally got into the big city he looked all over he saw the top of people’s hair off there heads, wrecked clothes on the washing lines, broken windows and more. He  had to fix this.

First Hemi had to find his robot. Luckily Hemi had the remote control in his pocket. He rode around the city trying to seek his robot. He looked in buildings, shops, all sorts of places. Finally he he saw his robot  he pulled his remote control out of his pocket, pushed the off button but the robot wasn’t turning of so pushed it again but it didn’t work. Hemi gave up in the end. But he didn’t let that stop him he had to fix this. First he had to catch the robot then he had to tell his dad what happened. He ran up to his robot jumped up and tried to turn the switch of at the back on the robot without getting cut by the robot.

The robot crashed down onto the road. Next he biked home to his dad and told him the story he got into some big trouble. Hemi‘ suddenly had an idea he said “ maybe you could do a lot of work like mowing the lawns, cleaning windows and mop the decks you might earn enough money to fix everything” Hemi liked that idea even though it would be hard work. It took Hemi 5 weeks to earn the money. The town was back to normal other than one thing people were still half bald but that became a fashion in Hemis town. Hemi came up with another great idea he could make a hair machine.

Calendar Art

Goal - produce a piece of art using mixed media.

What I did -  We painted our background with special water paint then we painted the tree. Next we added the leaves and flowers and last but not least Mr Dillon took a picture of us and we glued it into our art work.

What I liked -  I liked painting the tree because we had to make it the right size and we got heaps of time to do the art.

In Townsville there was a big bully named Sean. He was big,  bigger then a big fat hippo and he was  strong, stronger then a bull. He was a big fat, horrible bully. One day he was at school and saw a bus, he walked up to the bus he shook it up and down and the four kids tumbled out. Sean picked one of the kids up called Geoff lone he said “ did you bring lunch for me today Geoff!” “You can have my chicken nuggets” Geoff said nervously.

Thump thump thump “hi I'm big Steve I'm new here” do I smell chicken nuggets “I  want your chicken nuggets, big Steve said Big Steve wants the chicken nuggets!!! Sean ate the whole lunch box  then when there were no more chicken nuggets big steve pored pink paint on Sean he was very angry.

Then the normal size kids were fed up with one big kid bossing them for too long they  were not going to stand another big kid bossing them around. So they looked up inflatable chicken nuggets then one of the kids pulled out a phone and called up the inflatable chicken nuggets store and asked them to deliver it to Solsberry school immediately!!

The truck turned up and the 4 kids carried the box over to  Sean and big Steve. After they gobbled the inflatable chicken nuggets they started growing and growing. The normal size kids said “it's volleyball time” the kids boosted the big kids up into the air the big kids floated away into space they were fighting about why this happened.

Big Steve said “this is all your fault.”  “Well you poured pink paint on me” said Sean “if you had given me those chicken nuggets they wouldn’t of blown us up ” Big Steve said. Sean said if we float over to the satellite we could pop so they floated towards the satellite pop! “ahh” said Sean and big Steve. Then they drifted down to the ground  and went normal size again, everyone said yay! Then one of the kids said do want to play lazer force with us Big steve shuddered aa year. So Townsville was back to normal until big Stewart came an even bigger, bigger kid came!!

My puppy likes the water

My Puppy Likes the water

My puppy likes the water.

My puppy likes to swim.

I’ve never seen a puppy

who swims as much as him.

He swims not on the surface,

but only underneath.

And maybe I should warn you,

he has very scary teeth.

Whenever people see him

they’re frightened of his grin.

Or maybe it’s his lack of fur.

Or maybe it’s his fin.

If you should buy a puppy,

just get the kind that barks.

Don’t be like me. I bought mine

at a store that just sells sharks.

Olympic Granny poem

When grandma goes for gold in the olympic games this year,she’ll laugh at her competitors and make them quake with fear.

She’s ninety nine years old but,in athletics she’s been blessed.The trouble is she can’t decide which sport she plays the best.

She such an ace at archery she’s queen of the canoe  she’s tough to top at taekwondo and table tennis too.

She dominates the diving board she tromps the trampoline at lifting weights shes the best you’ve ever seen.

She speeds across the swimming pool to slake the summer heat on BMX and Mountain bike she simply can’t be beat.

She’s highest in the high jump she a champ at hammer throwing magnificent in marathons remarkable at rowing.

She beats the best at boxing.At the pole vault she is peerless her fencing is the finest;She is positively fearless

She’s masterful at basketball,She truly rules the court and equaly incredible at every other sport.

But what we find astonishing and something of a shocker is how she win all contest with her wheelchair and her walker.

Chicken incubation Diary writing

"Mr Dillon what is in the box ?" " You will have to wait to the start of the day" said Mr Dillon. I felt really excited because I didn't know what was in the box. I thought maybe its the chickens.

 The bell went the class put all their things away that they were playing with. Then we went down to the mat. Mr Dillon showed us the box. He told us to get into a big circle. He opened the box and he asked some kids to help him open it. We got 24 eggs. We numbered them . My number was 7. Some of them we marked them with blue. We had to put them carefully so they didn't crack. Some were to big for the incubator so they cracked. Then we were left with 21 because 3 cracked. We were all disappointed because some of the eggs were the other class members.Luckily mine didn't crack. We had to wait for 21 days.

 Its  nearly over. Its so exciting. On Monday we will hopefully have chicklits. If you there are three boys I'm going to name them Bob, Chad and Chase. I'm going to name them Lucy, Stacey, Fizz and Cluckster. I'm feeling excited because with some of them we marked blue  so I am hoping we might have blue chicks. I am a bit worried that they might not hatch. Its impossible to wait until Monday.

What is a business?

A business is something that makes money. It usually sells products,foods or service. People are important parts of a business. They usually have a name and they can trade things. They are not always shops they can be on the internet.We are trying to make more money for our chicken business and this is what a business does.

In my group there is Charis, Bianca and me.

Who feels excited when you get a milkshake from the dairy , I feel tingly when I'm nervous and I feel sad when I'm left out of a game.

Who needs water to keep them hydrated ,warm clothes so they stay warm and food to stop them from greeting hungry.

Who gives hugs and kisses to there family ,clothes to the hospice and Salvation Army and presents to their friends and family.

Who fears spiders , roosters when their about to attack you and when your brothers play fight with you.

Who would like a chocolate factory , a lollie stash that never stops and a trip to Canada.

It was the second day of camp and we were getting ready to go to dawson falls.The air is chilly but the air is filled with excitement.We were given our adults to guide us to Dawson Falls. I was

With Olivia’s dad .In my group I had Olivia,Leah and me.Of we went to dawson falls.

We were the leaders of the line.There was lots of steps to go down.Im guessing there was at least 70 steps to go down.It was extra hard for me because I was carrying a bag.Some of the steps were really steep to go down and some of the steps were easy to go down.

Finally we got to Dawson Falls our legs were really tired.I  felt  excited to be there.In my bag I had a camera and I took some photos of the waterfall. We went over to a couple of rocks.There was so much air coming in.It was like you were in a room with 100 fans.The water was like you were at the beach with your friends and

You were splashing each other.

The waterfall could of been  at least 50 metres or more.It was time to go back to Konini lodge.We were still in front of the line.As we were walking back I tried to sneak a couple of photos in.We carried on and I was looking at the photos.I didn't realize that I had been to the most awesome place in the world.I felt happy as a minion eating a banana.We finally got back to Konini lodge.

I had a awesome time  going to Dawson falls.
