Dialogue and Thoughts in “Wonder”

This term in reading we are diving into a novel study for the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio.  This week we are focusing on what we can learn about the characters, especially through their dialogue.  Characters’ thoughts and feelings can be revealed through their dialogue.  This allows readers to make inferences about their internal perspectives and motivations.

We read Part One Chapters 5-7 which was about Driving, Mr Tushman and Nice Miss Garcia.

Our first task was to choose dialogue from the relevant chapter and use the dialogue to infer what each of the characters’ thoughts may have been.

Our second task was to imagine we are part of a welcoming committee at Beecher Prep, and create a warm and inviting poster to welcome August, the main character in the story. Our poster had to reflect the school’s values of kindness, inclusivity, and diversity.

I enjoyed when we had to read about August and write about his feelings .

I need to improve on getting more ideas for my dialogue.

I did well at trying my best and doing my work.


Caring For Belongings

This week for PB4L , We had to write about how to take care of our belongings.  This comes under the school value Respect and Attitude.  Looking after your items means you respect them.  Our task was to put some strategies for that into a Google Drawing.  I needed to make sure there was a title, strategies, visuals, encouragement, and my name.

I wrote everything about how to take care of them so they never get damaged, dirty, or lost.

I need to improve on writing and adding more detail on my Poster.

I did well at trying my best and doing everything correctly.

I enjoyed when we had to write a poster about how to take care of your belongings.

HPE

This week for HPE , We did some fun games because we were getting ready for our big day on athletics day. Firstly, we did some Shotput. All of us had to grab a heavy and big ball and put it on top of our shoulder and push the ball and see where the ball lands and we have to grab a cone and put it where our landed at. Next, after everyone went for Shotput , we learned how to throw. And I lost. But my best friend scored it on the most points hoop and won the game ! After that, we all went back and ate our morning tea.

I need to improve on throwing and aiming better and win a lot.

I did well at trying my best and trying out new games.

I enjoyed when we learned how to throw and when everyone shouted and screamed when my best friend scored.

Breif and Design

This term PBS is getting ready for the gala in Week 8.  Our class is making pencil cases and bookmarks.  This week we did the design part of our process.  Here are my two designs. I chose the Pokemon design because I think most people like Playing Pokemon on their devices . chose the Roblox design because I kinda liked the style and the colour of it.

I need to improve on doing more designs and details.

I did well at trying my best and making my own cool design .

I enjoyed when we had to design it and blog it and choose a style and logo for it.


 

Bar Graph

This Week for Maths , We had to do a bar graph about our quiz about our School Gala.

Here’s the results of my School Gala quiz .

This question is What year are you? .

Most people chose Year 5  And least colour that got voted was dark blue which mean Year one.

Year 6 had a pretty big chance of voting.

This is all the answers of all the questions about The school gala on Google Forms.

All of them seem to be having to much votes and least amount of votes . So this is what I had to do the bar graphs about on the answers.

I need to improve on doing more work about the bar graphs and doing some more data .

I did well at trying my best and doing my bar graphs correctly .

I enjoyed when we had to write the bar graphs about the School Gala answers.

Wonder SSR Selfie

This week for Reading , we are reading about a novel. Now, you might be thinking , what is a novel?

Well, a novel is a chapter book which have a lot of chapters and pages to read through. All of us had to read the novel up to page 13 then write about what has happened in the story recently on SSR Selfie.  After I did the SSR Selfie , I decided to blog it . And thats all the information on what a novel is .

I did well at writing my SSR Selfie Really quick.

I need to improve on doing more writing and some more focusing .

Alternative Endings

Throughout this year, our Writing group has learnt different aspects of writing a narrative story. This week’s task was to “finish” 6 stories we chose out of the slides Miss Tele’a provided.  My favourite ending I wrote was for the story Callum’s Gaming Day, because it was a day for Callum to have fun and play games all day .  I did well at writing cool endings for my stories. I need to improve on thinking of some more endings and ideas. I enjoyed writing endings for some stories and making them interesting.
