Reading Activities

Welcome, Everyone! This is my Reading slideshow. This has all the work that I have been doing in reading time. Some of it is not done and I am still working on it. There isn't much to explain about this so this is it. I read a story with my group and then I do the activities linked to the story. These are the activities i have been doing, but I have skipped some of them because they include drawing and I can't just draw everything in one day so It would take time. Anyway, enough rambling. Here is my slideshow!

Don't Kill The Animals

Today In class, we had to make a trap that would capture animals without killing them. This was a tricky task but I found the ultimate answer! This is a fool - proof idea. I thought that if we use a net it will be much easier to catch them because they might hear the gunshots and run away. 

I hope you like it!

Last Activity

This is the final activity. I had to create a 'Super Beetle' and add different things to it to make it unique.
It could be like your dream beetle but whatever you add to it, it had to be useful. This is mine. I might call it... BUGGY the Super Beetle!

Dung Beetles!

In class, Mrs Lee sent us a link to a site about dung beetles. There was information (videos and a passage) and activities. We had to choose 3 activities to do and post them on our blog. We got to choose if we wanted to post all three of them all at once or post them separately and I will be posting them all separately. This is a poster of 'How Dung Beetles Move Their Dung'. I hope you learn something from this.

The Big Jump

In class, we had to rewrite the story in our own words. My group's story was "The Big Jump". I found this kind of hard because I did want to change the story a bit but I couldn't. This story is about a boy named Big Daddy (Funny right?) and he is afraid of the flying fox. 

Have you ever been on a flying fox before? If you have, let me know

The chills that ran down my spine as I attempted to go down the flying fox. I was sick to my stomach. I couldn't DARE go down this flying fox. "I don't have a death wish" I said to myself. But then Tim came up to the platform and tried to talk me into it but I couldn't. What if I fell? What if I get stuck? I didn't l know what to do because I was so scared. But then he told Sandra, the instructor, to do a tandem. He put a harness on and rode down with me. I nearly wet myself because we were going SO FAST. Once we got to the bottom, We hit a few tyres. It really hurt but I think it hurt more for Tim. Tim was barely breathing and crying. "What happened" Everyone was asking. " I had to help Tim, he was to scared, he nearly wet himself. I didn't want to make myself seem less tough. I'm glad Tim helped me from that horrific trip to the ground.


Stay Awesome, Possums!

How do Waterspouts form?

In Room 5, we had to create a Infographic on our reading texts. My group's story was How Waterspouts form. My Infographic will tell you about it.

An infographic is diagrams and pictures, information on the topic and a catchy title!

I think I did pretty well but I think I need to add more information and diagrams. I hope you get something out of this, though.

Enjoy!

The Machine.

In Reading, We had to create a story map about what happened in the story. We read a story called the Machine.  This is my story map.
