Petuana's Bonfire Night

WALT:  Explaining what we did on the 5th of November.

Bonfire Night - 5th November 2014

In class the children made Guy Fawkes. We made him out of straw, paper, clothing, sticks and a plastic bag. While we were making Guy Fawkes, some of the boys started to do a face for him, and some of the girls made a very tall top hat for him.

Firstly, we had to fill up the top and pants up with scrunched up paper. After that we had  to fill it up with some straw. The straw  that we use had a lot of rubbish in it and the gross thing about the hay was that it had a glove it and some old banana peels. eww! Then, we stuck some sticks inside of the top for some arms and some legs, but first we had to staple it up. We had to make sure that the t-shirt and pants were stuck on tightly.

After that, we were finally finished! but that was just the body. We needed to wait for the face and the top hat, then we were complete! So, we tidied up the classroom because the straw had just splattered everywhere on the ground, so Lauren,Lana,Sina,Jasmine and I helped tidy it all up, but that was to hard, so we cleaned up a little bit of the straw and just left some for the cleaners that clean up the classrooms after school.

Next, the class all got to together on the mat to sing the song that we were going to sing in the classrooms, because we were going to show and sing to the classes Guy Fawkes.

Room 9 went around to all the classes to show Guy Fawkes and to sing and everyone sang the first part, I sang the 2 part and Lauren sang the 3 part, then we all sang the last part which was “ And what shall we do with him? BURN HIM!!” It was kind of fun singing to all of the children in their classes but my voice started to feel a bit wrong.

After that, we all came back to class and we started to eat our lunch.

       

After Lunch,  Rooms 9 and 10 went to the far end of school, next to the pool. Here we had our bonfire, where we threw sticks and paper in. When the bonfire had been lite, we threw our Guy Fawkes doll into the fire and we watched it burn!. While we watched our hard work burn, the clothing started rip and fall of but i think that the only thing that did not burn was the face of guy fawkes, but the rest all got burnt.

The children then roasted up some marshmallows on the bonfire. The marshmallows that we had were burnt but they were nice.

Finally, room 9 children all went back to class tired and exhausted after a hard days of work, so we all sat down on the mat, collected our bags put up our chairs and we watched our bonfire all again because Lana had videoed the whole thing. I had a good time doing the bonfire.

The Mysterious Night

The mysterious night Date: wednesday 24 october

It was a dark stormy moonless night when the power went off as we walked home in the rain.

Then, just as we knew it something black with red drippings ran past us as if it was the thick wind. As it ran past blood had been stained onto the road. When we were walking we started to get frustrated and scared, then it came AGAIN!! that something had ran past us. we started to really scared because it was dark, moonless and only 4 street lights worked!! what was wrong with the electricians?  Then we stopped, as my sisters cry with fear and as i was shaken up I still kept walking. “HURRY UP” I say with anger as to the rest of my family.”It’s raining i don’t want to get sick” so they came and we tried our best to find our way back home.

“aha!” I say filled with joy. “ A tree, come let’s go underneath this tree it should keep us dry for now. As the weather  kept raining, we were cold, hungry and so sad. We tried to contact our family but it had no service and we knew that someone was behind us, just by hearing the sounds like: Boom! BANG! thump. we could also hear someone breathing, then “AHHHH!” a scream from down the road was heard.”u-mm, mum what was that?? ” I whispered softly.” I don’t know but stay close ok” “ Okay”.

It was about 11 pm at night and the moon was still gone. what had happened to the moon? i questioned myself. The rest of the family were fast asleep so i took a walk  but one person was awake. and that person kept saying one sentence over and over again and that sentence was: “ I  want to kill but heart ain't fulfilled” It started getting spooky at about 12 pm and that person was still saying that sentence with no break.I soon felt spooked out and one of the street lights had just cracked. Crack! all the pieces of glass had been shattered into little speckles. Oh No!! i yelled in fear as i ran back home but a black ash blocked my way as the rain stopped. my family was in a cloud of white silvery mist and black and red blood had been dripped all over the road. I tried to break free but i suddenly felt a hand on my back just feeling me until it reached my neck i was yelling for help but i was soon in a box. It was filled with glass, and i that box my family was there but in another box. an invisible box. I was crying for them but they could not hear me i soon stopped crying and my heart just broke. it was shattered and i turned into a black and red cloud. The hand soon tapped me on the back and then a black cloud appeared and turned into a face. it said:” I want to kill but i ain’t fulfilled” and turned my life into a  VAMPIRE!!

My pet advert

Hello, my name is, well i don’t really have a name so this is why i am looking for the perfect owner.I am ready for adoption and i am interested in another fellow friend (like me) so if you are super busy, i wouldn't have to be bored all the time. My hobbies are to play games dig heaps of holes, walk to the park and to spend all day with my owner  and i also have a  lazy side, but i can also be in the mode to party! I think that i would be a good pet for you because i am super cute and i will also save you from those nasty robbers who try to hurt your family and if you're sad you can just give me a cuddle.If you would like me, i would love for you to name me, well probably a nice name that will suit me and a lovely collar that says my name on it. I would love to be proud of myself, especially when i have an owner. so please, i am getting real lonely out there in the cold, Western  streets so if you want me come on and get me, i really need an owner who will treat me and love me for who i am.and P.S Sorry for the rough drawing, im still taking those art lessons.

Co-ordinates

WALT: find the correct coordinates

In this game, direct Billy the Bug to the correct coordinate.You needed to know which is the Y coordinate and the X coordinate. When you placed the bug into the right place, you needed to press feed so he could eat the grub that was located in  the places that you had to go to. If you get it right, then you would get a point, but If you did not land him in the right place then he would say no. I found this game challenging and easy at the same time and next time when I play this game I am hoping that I can just do it in a click.

Patterns and rules

Patterns and rules 17/10/14

The game that I played was patterns and rules. In this game you needed to know how to continue a pattern because nearly half of the question that you would be asked would be algebra. I found this game challenging and difficult for me because i didn't really understand the rule, but I got some of the questions right. In the picture I moved up to medium, then I went down to easy, because it got a little bit difficult. I could improve in this game by practicing more often. My score was: 1,820.

Petuana's Maths

Comparing fractions 22.08.14 WALT: 

WALT:Solve problems with fractions 


 This game is called comparing fractions with same denominators. In this game, I had to try and figure out if the fractions were equal,less than or more than. This game was really easy for me because  suddenly got the hang of it. I think that this game was really easy for me and that I want a more challenging game just like this, but with more and bigger fractions.

Petuana's E-book

Scale Drawings

I learned to use scale to enlarge my drawing. I used a scale of 1 cm to represent 3cm. This means that my drawing was 3 times bigger. The task was confusing because i didn't understand what enlarging ment but now i know and it is just making small things larger. I need more challenging work on this topic. Next i would like to  Enlarge more things with even more detail.

Finding Grampy

WALT: Find and play the game Find Grampy.

In this game, we needed to guess where grampy is hiding. if you get it correct, then grampy will come out of the hedge and he will wave to you. I had to find the correct fraction that grampy was in, because he likes to hide behind the hedge. I found this game challenging but also fun. I think that this game is a good game for everyone and anyone who needs help with their fractions.

Netball training

Netball Training 23.07.14

After morning tea at 11.15am Glen Innes school, we had Netball training from a laddie who teaches  netball at the ami netball.

First, we all went up on the school court to get ready for our session. Then, she came. She introduced herself to us and said that her name is Donna.Donna asked us a few questions before we could get started. She asked us “What is the first thing that you play before you get started” and we all said ”a warm-up!”, first we did a few exercises. then we played a game.  she asked us to get into pairs of 2 or 3. Mele,Alisi,Alyssa and i wanted to group up and be a pair of 4, but when we asked Donna ( our coach ) said “no.”so Alyssa and i paired up and Alisi and Mele paired up.

After that,we played a game called “fire and friendly.” In this game when Donna would say Fire! then all fires would have to pass  the ball to their knee  and if she said friendly, then all friendlies would have to do a high through.Next, we played another. we had to get into groups, so like Donna would ask us to go into the red group, green group or blue group and when we were ready, donna asked us if one of us wanted to hold a hoop and if one of us wanted to pass the ball to the children when they had passed it back. I was in the green group and sina and Rebecca were either holding the hoop or passing the ball back to us.

Then, when that finished we all got in a  circle. Boys were in one circle and the girls were in the other circle. we had to pass to balls around in the circle while watching each other to see weather if the ball is coming to you, or to someone else.I liked this game but it was hard to watch the ball to see if it was coming to you or not.

I think that todays netball training with Donna was fun and friendly. my favourite game for todays netball training was “fire and Friendly”.

Name that shape

WALT: play the game called name that shape.

This game was cool and hard. in this game, i had to name what ever shape that they gave me.

i found some shapes hard because some of them are shapes that i have never seen before.

when i played this game, i was timed. it took me 35 seconds to answer ten questions. Next time, my goal is to answer 10 questions in 20 or less seconds.

Fractions Pizza game

WALT: play the fractions game.

This fraction game helped me with my fractions. I had to name the fraction of the pizza that was on the screen. I found level 1 easy because it had simple fractions for me to start of with.  Next I would like to play level 2.
