Pirate Ship

My Reflection;
I was learning about nets for our 3D shapes. We made a pirate ship and we needed to make our nets to make our pirate ship. It flt good about this learning because we had lots of fun making this. My next step is to try to work with some new people and also be more focus on my learning.

Biospheres


My Reflection:
This was fun because we had no learning during the day we did this. The best thing about making this adding all the materials and making thing we haven't made before. I hardest bit was putting it together.

Narrative Writing



My Reflection:
This Activity was harder than I thought. I had to remember lots of different stuff. We had to put in lots of detail about the story.

Narrative Plan



My Reflection:
This is my plan for my Narrative writing. The first coloum is about the plot, retelling the the chapter I chose. 2nd coloum is about the main character, Yeats. The last coloum is about my character, Mr Sutcliff. It was harder in the last coloum because we had to think about what the character was thinking about.

Diary Post

Over this week we have been learning a lot of different stuff.....


  • Ballad Poem
  • Started a new book
  • Paper mache


We have been learning a ballad poem. To make a ballad poem you have to have 4 lines in each stanza, ABCB rhyming pattern and structure like a story - introduction,ordered body,conclusion. Its okay to break the rule a bit. Rhyming words can be close- not exact.

For the Paper mache we first got a ball and put it in the plastic bag.
Then we ripped up newspaper and wet it.
Then we stuck the paper on the ball with the plastic bag.
After that we got a pot and put in glue.
We then put glue on the newspaper as well with the plastic bag.
We let it dry and made our smaller planets the next day.

For our new book we are reading Between two Ends. Its about a boy named Yeats, he meets a stranger called Mr Sutcliff. When Yeats and his parents visit his grandmother's creepy old house, Yeats reunites a pair of pirate bookends and uncovers the amazing truth: Years ago, Yeats's father traveled into The Arabian Nights. 

My Ballad



My Reflection:WAL how to write a ballad. A ballad is a rhyming poem that tells a story. It was a bit tricky because we had to rhyme the next words. Next time I will try more of these because it helps me with my writing.
