Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Stinkosaurus Saves Christmas
It was about how even the most unlikely people can turn out to be a hero. I chose to make a mask using needle and thread.

The day things started to go wrong
The Day Things Started To Go Wrong.
A day a normal day until………… A plane crashed and fell on a bus which started an open fire. Houses on fire roads blocked 20 people on that bus 3 survived the rest dead. 50 people on the plane, only 1 survivor. The fire started on 12 june 2023 the fire stopped on 25 june 2027. Confused, is it over yet can we go home? Only a few survived from that; the reason why the fire wouldn't go out was because the water supply ran dry. We only had milk to drink. We lived in a dry desert because it hasn't rained in years.
The End

Maths Week 5 Term 3 2021 Solving word problems
Another thing we have been learning in maths is how to solve word problems involving combinations of things. You had to be able to write addition equations showing as many different combinations as we could.
Some people found it was useful to do your figuring out using a table. But not the kind of table you eat off-a mathematical table.
Here is my work.
Writing Week 5 Term 3 2021 My Come to Your Senses Poem.
This week one thing we did for writing was a Come to Your Senses Poem. First you had to think of a human emotion, like love. Then you had to say what colour it would be. Then, you had to write 5 more sentences using your 5 senses saying how each would relate to love. The emotion I chose was Sadness
Here is my work.
Sadness
Sadness is like the darkest shade of blue.
It tastes like tears running down your eyes like raindrops.
It smells like salty water, like dried up salty water from the deep dark sea.
It reminds me of the dark. A narrow dark cave.
It sounds like rain on a dark and stormy night that won't stop pouring down its tears of sadness.
Sadness feels like a winter's night with nothing to keep you warm.

Feathers
Hi this is my rhyming poem about feathers we went to go look for feathers to describe them and put them in to a piece writing I hope you like it.
Feathers
Walking through school one day looking through the leaves, for something
I can find. Finally I can see it lost between the leaves. What lovely
weather, oh look it's a feather. I picked it up, between the leaves, a great big
Gray and white feather, one side as shiny as the sun. It felt fluffy and it
looked like a leaf. Oh no, it flew away.

Statistics learning
Over the last 3 weeks we have been learning about statistics in maths.
I know what a graph needs a title and a x and y axis label. I know how to make a statement. A graph or chart is easier to read than data in a table.
