My Reading Prediction

I have learnt to use pictures to give detailed predictions about the story.

I liked that I put detail into my prediction by describing the dog and the way he looked.

I'm proud about how much I wrote.

Caleb S Basic Facts Speed Test T1

During the week we practise our basic facts for our homework. On Fridays we have a speed test where we try to complete 100 facts in 6 minutes 30 seconds. This graph shows my scores so far. I like this because it helps everyone in my class improve on their basic facts.  When I look at this graph I can see I made a big improvement then went down a little.

Maths Strategies

Art Face Portraits

Caleb S.

WALT sketch a face by following grid guidelines to make each feature on the face in proportion.

First we drew a picture of what we thought we looked like.
I thought my before picture didn't have much detail on it

After a few art lessons we learned how to sketch a grid across the shape of our face to help us draw each feature in proportion.
I thought my after picture was much better then my before picture because everything was in order and in proportion.  My favourite part about it was my end result.

Sensory Garden Recount

Reflection on my Recount -

• Underline where you think you are in your learning of the sensory recount.
• Remember you are just assessing how well you described your surroundings, using descriptive words or poetic devices.

Extended Abstract	I can help someone else to suggest ways to improve their own sensory recount.
Relational	I can add a poetic device to make it more interesting e.g simile, metaphor or alliteration.
Multistructural	I can describe using more than 2 senses in my recount.
Unistructural	I can describe using at least 2 of my senses in my recount.
Pre-structural	I need help to find words to describe what I see, feel, touch, or hear.

I have put myself at the Relational stage.  I chose this stage because I think I used different more than 2 different language features.

My next learning step is to work on including more language features into my writing.

My day with Djae

Vroom! Vroom! Here comes my friend Djae! He is coming over for the day. When Djae came in we immediatly sprinted outside and jumped on the tramp. We stayed at my house for about a hour. My dad yelled "Time to go". We rushed to the car with a tickets because we were going to the movies.

We hopped in the car and drove to Hoyts. It was a long drive. Me and Djae was playing with the radio when we saw a guy dancing on the side of the road it was really funny.

Finally we arrived. We went in and bought our food. We both had a large coke it was massive! We also had a large popcorn and two ice-cream cones covered with chocolate. It was delicus! My mum had to help us to our seats because we had so much stuff. The movie took for ever  to come on!  When the movie was finished me and Djae could not stop talking about it.

My top three favorite parts were when Percy destroys the giant warrior! My second favorite part was when Percy surfed on a wave, it was awsome! My final favorite part was when they used a cannon to get out of the gigantic sea monsters stomach! The movie was AWSOME!!!

Afterwards we walked outside and wait for my dad, we didn't wait to long. When me and Djae hopped in the car my dad announced we were going to... Dominos!!! Me and Djae both yelled... Pizza!!! For the whole ride long. Once we got home  me and Djae both grabbed a piece of pizza.We both had five slices each.It was yummy.

After we ate Djae had to go home we had a awesome time. I hope we can do it again?
