Language of Position

LANGUAGE OF POSITION WITH FREDDOS

On Monday the 22nd of July, year 5 did a task for Text Types. The task was to take a photo of the freddo and use Language of position to describe where the freddo is, some year 5’s did this with a partner but others were on their own.  

A lot of year 5 did heaps of photos but Mahrae & Lily got the most they did 24 photos!! But Ashleigh also did a great job because she had 23 photos!

Well done girls!!!

And these are some examples:

These are some examples of what we did on the Monday, 22 July. We had lots of fun doing this because we got to eat the freddo!!!!

NRL Trials

by Jack, Christian E and Dylan

The NRL was on Monday 25th of February 2013.  It was held at Liverpool in Hoxton Park RD. There was a club there and a sports centre, they split us into two age groups; under 11’s and under 12’s. There were 4 teams for each age group. We had to play tackle footy.  We had 2 losses and 1 tie but no wins. It was hard with the big kids in the other teams.

Congratulations to all students who tried out at school, went to the trials and who got through. Year 5 are very proud you all!

How many marbles?

Foil Boat Experiment   

By Emma and Georgia

Yr 5 did a Foil Boat Experiment which is where you had to make a boat out of foil that could float on water. The aim was to put as many marbles as you could in your boat and the winner was the table with the most marbles in their boat. Each tables’ score was bigger than their first attempt.

This was the score board:

Chatterboxes: 1st Attempt: 17 and  2nd Attempt: 49

Gangsters: 1st Attempt:  67 and 2nd Attempt: 153       (winner)

Ghostbusters: 1st Attempt: 34 and  2nd Attempt: 106

Treblemakers: 1st Attempt: 45 and 2nd Attempt: 106

All Stars: 1st Attempt: 60 and 2nd Attempt: 67

Fantastics 6: 1st Attempt: 15 and  2nd Attempt: 148

The Gangsters table won again and other tables thought how they can improve
The Chatterboxes said “We thought we could improve on the boat size.”
The Ghostbusters said “We thought we could improve on the length”
The Treblemakers said “We thought we could improve by not leaving any gaps in the foil.
The All Stars said “We thought we could make it wider so we could fit more marbles”          The Fantastic 6 said “We thought we could improve on their length like
the Ghostbusters.”

Boy Overboard Chapters 2 and 3

We have continued to read Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman.  To re-read our post on chapter 1 click here.  When we left last time Jamal and his friends were playing soccer.  Bibi joined them and kicked the ball out onto the desert. 

Summary of Chapters 2 and 3

In chapters 2 and 3, Bibi went to get the soccer ball so Jamal followed her. They spotted a tank in the desert. To make matters worse, the soccer ball was stuck under the tank. Then Bibi started throwing rocks at the tank. Jamal told Bibi to go check on Yusuf and on the way there she stood on a mine. By Christian E & Mikayla

In chapters 2 and 3, Bibi kicked a ball into the desert and it went past a tank, so Bibi started throwing rocks at them. Jamal was really scared of dying because the tank aimed their guns at them both. Jamal told Bibi to go home, but Bibi said that she had already left a note saying that she has gone to play soccer with Jamal and his friends. By Luke and Ashleigh

In chapters 2 & 3 Jamal and Bibi went to get the soccer ball behind the crater but they realised it was stuck beneath the tank. Bibi wrote a note to her parents saying she was playing soccer. Jamal was scared they would get caught and their parents would panic. Then Jamal pulled the ball out from under the tank and heard Bibi screaming and the goalie told him “Bibi stepped on the mine”.

We found out about some of the rules that the children in Afghanistan in the novel must follow. These rules are called edicts. We then used google drawings to create posters of some of the edicts.

What do you think of the edicts?  Do you think they are fair?  Should Australia have similar edicts?

                                                                                                                                        

Values

In Religious Education we have been learning about values.  Values are all the things that are key in our decision making. They help us to make good choices and live a happy life.  Some values are:

Creativity: Is when you create something that isn’t like anything else.
Thankfulness: Is when you thank somebody for their actions.
Joy: Is when you are very happy.
Bravery: When you step up to do something out of your comfort zone.
Respect: Is when you are nice and thoughtful.
Love: When you care about another.
Teamwork:Is when you work together as a team
Sharing:Is when you give a piece of your share to somebody else.
Confidence:Is when you have the courage to do something.
Spirit:when you look at the world different from everybody else
Care:pay close attention to something
Grace:Is when you are careful with what you are doing.
Maturity:Is when you act your age.
Understanding: Is when you know what is going on.
Honesty: When you tell the truth
Achieve:Is when you successfully  complete your goal
Peace:Is when no conflicts are being made.
Leadership:When you take the role of being the leader of your group.


This wordle shows the top 3 values of everyone in our class.

“ITS NOT HARD TO MAKE A DECISION ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR VALUES ARE”.
