Fraction Art

In room 5 we have been learning how to make fraction art. There were halves, quarters,eighths and sixteenths. First we had to get three different coloured pieces of paper. After that we had to draw circles around foam circles and then cut them out. Then we had to fold the circles into halves, quarters, eighths and sixteenths and cut them all out. Last of all, we had to make sea creatures out of all the fractions and put them onto blue paper.  In my drawing I normally used halves for the body. My turtle is made out of one half and four eighths. I think the task was not that hard but took a bit of time to finish. Here is my Fraction Art.

Describing the Setting

In the Winter Holidays all of the seniors had to make a google drawing about a sentence that describes the setting. We also had to write what page number of the book the sentence was found, the title,the author and an illustration of something in the sentence. Here is my, Describing the Setting, google drawing.

Another Place Another Time

Room 5 has been learning how to structure a narrative using adverbs of place and time. Ours was based on the picture called Another Place, Another Time. We had to write a story about what was happening in the picture and make an ending to it. Here is my Another Place, Another Time writing.

THE RAILWAY TRACK TO THE ISLAND OF KINGS

 It was a dark and gloomy night and dark brown, angry clouds were circling the wrinkled up sea. Suzy suddenly spotted something in the distance, “Yes, yes we are near land,” whispered Suzy. They could all see it now, they had noticed a thing on the island that made them feel envious inside. Suzy, Jack, Alex and Rose could see a white crumbled castle that looked like there was gloomy light flickering on and off. The closer and closer they came to the island the more scared and nervous Suzy, Jack, Alex and Rose got.

Wasp Life Cycle

Solly and Miro brought a wasp nest to school and we had to write about it. There were lots of reading activities I could pick from but I wanted to write about a wasps life cycle. Here is my wasp life cycle slideshow.

Maths Array

In room 5 my maths group has been learning how to show equations in maths arrays. We had to make a drawing showing a maths array for one of our questions. Here is Anahera's and my maths array.
