W.A.L.T: Find select and retrieve information.(skimming and scanning.)
We read an article about National Donut Day and we had to answer some questions.
How did NDD come out: In WW1 there were woman who toke care of the injured and sick men. The men were miserable and homesick so to cheer them up the woman made a tasty treat out of the only things they had. Flour,sugar and oil.
What does the author suggest if you don't like donuts: If you don't like them you can sell them to your friends and family or to the local branch of the Salvation Army.
What are some other donut like treats mentioned in the article, what one sounds interesting: Oily Cakes, Lagaymats, Tuinsia's Yo-Yo's and Vadas. The Lagaymats sound interesting because the sound cool.
Next Step: Put the informations into my own words better.

My Art.
WALT: Draw in perspective.
In perspective drawing I have learnt how to draw smaller when it gets closer to the vanishing point. I also you find the vanishing point at the horizon.
Three things about drawing in perspective are.
1 things need to be drawn smaller to show that they are getting further back.
2 the vanishing point is at the horizon.
3 on mountains the further down it gets the darker it gets.
Here is a picture of my art.
Next Step: make my fences stand up straight.

My Creative Writing
WALT:write freely and try new things.
I chased the animal until I reached a magical land full of unicorns that vomit rainbows and poop butterflies. It was full of lollies and all kinds of syrup. One fat one of the unicorns talked to me it said
" hello my name is Butterscotch."
It asked for a phone I said why it was because it wanted take a selfie with you.
I said ok and we took a selfie together.
Suddenly I turned into a unicorn my name was caramel sparkles. I liked myself and I tasted like caramel sauce. Then I woke up I was so upset.
Next step:put more detail in my writing.

Going To Dream World.
WALT: elaborate our ideas.
" No, I don't want to" I said to my patient Grandma with a croak in my voice.
Wait a minute you don't think I am going to tell you what happened next. Let me take you back to early September 2012.
Good you're here let's begin then. I woke up to a call of "Room Service."
I was so drowsy that I couldn't even keep my eyes open for more then 20 seconds.
Finally, properly woken up I remember about the room service. Yay my Grandparents got me my absolute favourite breakfast ever, bacon and egg omelete, mmm bacon. I had just remembered that we were going to Dream World today, yay. I rushed outside then I forgot i had not done my hair so I ran back inside to do it.
Later that day at Dream World, with my hair done.
"Wait!" I say to my Grandparents as we looked at the massive queue.
We enter at the back of the line but because ofhow far back I was I could see practically the whole theme park. It was awesome.
After being on many fun filled rides we were finally at the very last ride, the log ride. It looked like it was 1 million miles high.
"No i don't want to ." I say to my patient Grandma with a croak in my voice.
I finally picked up the nerves to go on it. At first it was pretty nice then as the cart went up the hill I heard it click and clack and snap. My stomach turned and I thought I was going to die. Will it break?
"Ahhhh!" I screamed as the old wooden ride.
Suddenly, my feelings changed and I screamed with joy as we went down the ride that felt like it was going 1 million miles ph. We were soaked .
In the end I had an awesome day I hope Sea World will be this fun.
Next Step: Paragraphing my ideas.

My Reading
WALT: Read for meaning.
We read a text about why Zebras have stripes.
We completed a task of trying to convince people why Zebras have stripes this is what I came up with:
Zebras have stripes to shoo flies away the flies prefer solids over stripes. Stripes don't camouflage Zebras in woodsy areas. Biting flies spread diseases to Zebras and horses so luckily because of the Zebras stripes the bloodthirsty flies will stay away.
Next Step: but more detail in it.
