Dog Safety

On the 28th of June, we learnt about dog safety with Nick and Mitchell. They first gave us books that was all about dogs and they also explained that you always have to ask the owner if you have permission to touch the dog. Then Nick and Mitchell brang the two dogs named Fergie and Chase. They were both really cute but then Nick ask us all to spread around the room and stand in a spot and the dogs will walk around us. They also said that if we are scared we coukd stand next to out teacher. I wanted to go to my teacher but I would be the only one standing next to my teacher so I decided not to go. When the two dogs went next to me I got super scared and wanted to go home but then the two dogs just left and I guess standing like a tree really does help get away dogs. At the end of the session, Nick and Mitchell told us if we wanted to touch Fergie and Chase, we had to lone up and touch them!

All About Me

Hello, my name is Tracey and I’m 10 years old. I am a Year 5 and in Room 10 with a lovely and intelligent teacher named Miss Litchfield. The school I go to is Glen Taylor School.

My favourite activity to play is a math game called Prodigy with my friends and I am good at maths. My goal for this year is to get more better at reading, writing and learn decimals. I enjoy making google drawing out of different shapes.

I am looking forward to learning more decimal points and square roots. I am going to achieve  this by practising everyday.

Solar System

There are eight different types of planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Other objects of matter in 

the solar system are the dwarf planets. The solar system formed around 4.6 billion years ago and it includes the Sun and all the objects that orbit around it due to its gravity.

Venus is often called the Earth's sister because they both are almost the same size and have about the same mass. Venus also rotates backwards compared to Earth and the other planets. It is named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty and is the second largest terrestrial planet. Venus is the third brightest object of Earth's sky and the second planet from the Sun.

There are five different dwarf planets in the solar system, they are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, 

Makemake and Eris. The other dwarf planets are found in the outer solar system. The largest 

dwarf planet in the solar system is Pluto. Pluto  is named after the Greek god of the underworld

and was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by the Lowell Observatory.

I chose the solar system for my report because I think that there are lots of interesting facts about 
the solar system. I think I now know lots of information about planets and the solar system.

Paper Airplane

Taking Flight

Dad took Tony to Grandpa’s because he had some very important business to finish. Tony felt upset because he didn’t want to stay at Grandpa’s, he wanted to spend more time with Dad. Dad also promised Tony that he would play with him. Dad dropped off Tony at Grandpa’s. When Tony got out of the car, he saw Grandpa. Grandpa was old, tall and he had grey hair with wrinkles. Dad got back in they car and drove to his unfinished business. “Now you sit here while I moan the grass.” said Grandpa. Tony got really bored so he laid down with his teddy. Then he found an old, rusty picture of Dad when he was a kid in a wagon with Grandpa standing nearby. He stacked boxes on top of each other to reach the picture. Then everything fell on tops of Tony. Grandpa suddenly heard a big BANG!!!!!! He walked towards Tony and was very shocked! He gazed at the wagon and the picture of him and Dad. It gave him back old memories when they used to go on super fun adventures together. Grandpa decided to do it again but with Tony. They went to a waterfall and an air plane. Dad got back and Grandpa’s house and saw him and Tony with a big mess. “Why are you two so messy?” he asked. Dad also looked at the old picture of him and Grandpa with his wagon. “Is that my wagon?” Then they all went on an adventure together.

A Cat's Moment In Time

                                               A Cat’s Moment In Time
                             I saw the stars shining bright up in the midnight sky.
                          I saw dark, black creepy spiders crawling around the fence.
                               I heard the old wise owl hooting in the tall trees.
                               I heard dogs barking around the neighbourhood
                                 I smelt dead rotten fish ready to be eaten.
                                         I smelt the windy cold breeze.
                            I tasted smoke coming out of an old rusty chimney.
                                 I tasted the juicy fish in front of my eyes.
                              I wondered if there was anything else to eat.
                             I wondered how life would be if I was a human.

Making Playdough!

Today on June 1st, We had Ms Wrack come over to Room 10. First, Ms Wrack put us in to to 3 different groups. Then after morning tea, we went to the staff room and put all the ingredients on the counter. Each group had a turn to make play dough! There were different kinds of play dough recipes. 2 of them were the same ingredients but poured differently and the amounts were different. I felt really excited standing around the counter because I've never made play dough before! Today, I learnt about measurements! Miss Litchfield then came in the staff room and asked me to go in the library because I had to do a test. When I came back, I joined my group and we poured the ingredients in a bowl, then Ms Wrack put it on the stove and we mixed then played!
