Week 5 Term 2

This week we have learnt a lot! I know, I know, I say that every week but its true. We have started new reading, writing, tech arts, maths and french tasks. For reading we read a short story about an animal that we had to guess what it was through the story. It was about a intelligent rat, called Barney, who had a plan to get rid of his owner and take over the world. He was kept in a cage so when he was let out he grabbed the key and threw it down a well. His owner, of course, went down to fetch it but the rat nibbled threw the rope ladder and killed the man. At the end of the story he was pretending to be the man and he said that Barney was dead and he was asking people to bring female rats onto the island so he could make more intelligent baby rats. For writing we are doing my favorite part, information reports! We have been given a sheet of notes about penguins and we have to write a draft information report about penguins. The paragraphs we need to write about are types, description, habitat, food, life cycle, growing up, special features, general, movement, enemies, predators and threats. At tech arts Tuesday was our very last art lesson. I finished my jandal and water color. For my jandal I beaded the straps and for my water color I finished outlining it with vivid and then cut it out. Our next tech art subject is design, so we get to make all sorts of things with wood. In class, for maths, we learnt about how to find a whole number from a given fraction, for example. If the question is two sixths is eight you would divide eight by the numerator, two, so that equals four, then you would multiply four with six so the answer is 24. In french we learnt how to spell our own name and how to ask how do you spell that. Bonjour, tu tapell comment? Jem a pell Arden, Comment ca s' ecrit, Ca s' ecrit A- ah R-rrk D-de E-er N-en.
