Library

On Monday I was on librarian I was on desk with Emma our job on desk is to issue and return books for children. After that's done we pack up the library and ask people to leave because the library is closing. The library closes at 1:20 so people can go outside and play for 10 minutes.

Choir

Last week at choir we ran through our old songs, Bad Day and You Gotta Do Right before we went onto our latest song Money,Money,Money. I didn't need the song sheet because I had practiced at home while the production was on. This week I will put in my best effort.

Jubilee Writing

31.10.14
Oaklands School had their 50th Jubilee on Labour weekend this year. I'm in Year 7.  In 50 years time when they have their 100th Jubilee I will be 62. In 50 years I think these changes would have happened at Oaklands School...
I think there would be more electronics and less books because there are more mobile applications that help our learning. I think that there might be no white board markers because of touchable white boards and also tables. There won't be things like Self Directed Learning, instead more gadget work and subjects like science. I assume there would be a not as big field because of more classes, maybe an extended school. There would be more couches and comfy things then chairs. More kids in classes, I estimate around 40-45 kids and maybe extended classrooms. I think there would be shorter break times and you would be able to take your device outside with you. I think the playgrounds will be taken down and rebuilt smaller because of kids not really playing on them appropriately especially seniors, not really the younger kids. I think kids will get harder work because of people wanting their kids being very good at things. I hope some of these things happened, can't wait to see you at the 100th Year Jubilee.

Poetry

I learnt a poetic language of Anthropomorphism which is giving human traits to an animal. For example
~ The bird nodded his head to the beat of the song.
~ The cow ran from the big prowling lion.
~ The sheep pranced around the scorching hot paddock.

There is also another language feature similar to this which is personification. That mean giving an object a human trait.

My Goals For Term 4

Academic goal: is to learn some of my 12 times tables because I want to learn all of my 1-12 times tables.

Social/Behavioural: is to finish all of my homework challenges because I have already done 9 and I need to do 3 more so I don't want to stop after 3 terms of doing them.

Respect: is to really respect my teacher at technology because I want my report to have all 3 ticks at the "very good"column.
 

Reading

WALT:Read for meaning.

I have learnt how to argue for or against a tomato festival here it is:
I argue against the tomato festival because it's messy and it causes injuries. Also it wastes the food because people in country's like Africa, people are starving and they could have eaten the tomatoes.

I have also read an article about the trenches that the men dug in WW1 here is what I came up with for what they were used for before I read the article:
*Its a way to hide from the enemy.
*Its dark
*Its not that safe.
*Its dusty

This is what I learnt about the trenches:
*No mans land was a space in between enemy trenches.
*People would die from being shelled

This is my opinion of why they went underground:
They would have built underground to stay safe and bomb the enemy's trenches. They would have built underground to suprise the enemy when they come in by shooting them.

My Next Step is to add more detail into my answers.

Little Shops Are A Bad Idea.

WALT: Write a persuasive argument.

Little shops, your kids love them, so adorable. Or are they? Do you know that the little shops you buy can be dangerous?

Little shops, so cute how can they harm anyone?, well they can. Imagine coming into the room seeing your child choking on one of these "Little Shops" I'm sure you'll be upset. These cute mini groceries can be a. Choking hazard for small children. Your child can choke on almost all the figures. If I were you I would watch my children play with them.

Little shops are 1 per $40 imagine that money going down the drain when your kid breaks the boxes. By either crushing them, chewing them or opening them thinking there will be a small treat inside. Your child will surely be upset. Did you know parents can get very angry when their kids break them?

There are good things about little shops. They teach your kids to do shopping. They are also very cute and very fun to play with.

Did you know that parents are selling the little shops online for as low as $100 a set?! I know it sounds like a lot, but it's not. With no double ups a full set would cost exactly $2,000!! So New World is getting ripped off by these people. Luckily this round of little shops, New World said: NO SELLING!!! New World did make a swapping site though.

New World has just had a weekend where you get 2 every $40 instead of 1 per $40, so New World does have some special discounts!

Overall little shops are a very cute promotional item. Although, they are cute, they are quite dangerous and they're just a downright bad idea and a waste of money! And wouldn't it be good if there was a little sample inside?!

The SOLO level I reached for my surface features is Extended Abstract because I can use them correctly and explain to the reader why they are there.

The SOLO level I reached for my speech is Relational because I can give reasons to support the claim and I can explain why they are relevant to the claim.

My Next Step is to get to extended abstract on my speech by providing evidence for the reader.
