Sovereign Hill Camp!

Sovereign Hill was awesome. I loved every second of the three days we were there. The school program was so much fun and I learnt so much about how children would have gone to school in the 1850s. My favourite bit about the school program was wearing the costumes and using the ink to write. I also loved when Father Downing came in and started making everyone laugh.

All the shops on the main road were also amazing. I think it was the one time I was actually excited about looking in the shops. The lollie shop was definitely my favourite because we got free samples and they were so yummy. I also liked the candle making store because it looked really cool when you dipped your candle in the colours and then as soon as you put it in the water it was dry.

The bowling centre was AMAZING. The most pins I got in one bowl was five. I found it so heavy and hard to throw the ball on the the course. It was a lot of fun watching everybody else do it though. Some of the emotions I felt were surprised because there was a lot more lollies then I thought there was and I also felt nervous when Father Downing was coming in even though he was pretty funny.

Something I learnt while I was at the school program was how to gold pan. I thought it would have been so much more complicated but it was easy once you got the hang of it and I found some for the class set. Something else I learnt was how to write in copperplate. I thought it was really fun!

Holiday Blog #3

This week has been awesome. In Puglia we went to a beach that had a huge bridge above it. There were lots of rocks and I jumped off a rock that was 6 meters to the water. The view was amazing from the beach into the water.

Another highlight was when I walked up a waterfall that had 260 steps. The thing that is special about the waterfall is that it only runs 10 times a year. We were really unlucky because the waterfall ran 6 days before we were there.

Then we flew to Greece. We went into Santorini first and there were so many amazing views and incredible sunsets. The first highlight I did was an 8 kilometre walk along the ridge which joins several of the small villages. It was tiring but fun at the same time and the views were great.

Then the next day we went on a sunset boat cruise in the afternoon. It was probably my favourite thing of the holiday so far. We got to stop and swim at three different beaches, including the hot springs and I jumped off the side of the boat. We also got to watch the sunset from the boat. My favourite Greek food it probably souvlaki.

Holiday Blog #2

The past week of my holiday has been awesome. We have been to two different houses since my last post. I am now currently staying near Lecce which is the capital of Pulgia.

A highlight this week is when we went to Otranto. There was a very large church. At the back of the church there were all these skulls for the people that died when the Turkish invaded the town.

Another highlight is when I went to a beach called Porto Miggiano and we could jump off a rock into the water. Then we would swim too a grotto which is like a cave and explore.

My favourite beach so far has been Cala dell’Acquaviva where you could just keep jumping off the rock.

We went for a walk to explore the coast line. The view was very similar to the 12 Apostles. My favourite food so far would probably be seafood.

So far my holiday has been really fun. I finally got to Italy after three flights. The last week we have been going to the beach or staying around the pool.

We hired a paddle boat twice and the first time we had a wonderful time because the water was so warm to swim in but the second time we hired it there were so many jellyfish in the water. We still went in which probably wasn’t a great idea because after a minute my Mum got stung.

Then the next day we went to a different beach and we were swimming from a cave all the way into shore. Then I built a rock sculpture on the sand.

I have also been going into a lot of churches. One of them was in a cave and it looked amazing. Another highlight so far is the sunsets. The one I saw a couple of days ago was very unusual because all of a sudden fireworks started to go off. It was very interesting though because they tied in with the colours of the sunset.

I hope the year 5 market goes well.

Decimat Number Line

This term in maths we have been working on decimals and where to place decimals on a number line. We had to colour in a decimal on a decimat and then write that decimal in a fraction and in words too. We also had to put our six decimals on a number line from 0 to 1. It was a challenge for some numbers but for others I new where to put them straight away. Over all it was a really fun maths activity.

 

Market Stall Poster

On Tuesday the 11th of June all the Year 5 students are hosting a year 5 market. We have made a lot of products from recycled matrials. Any money we raise is going to the JMB Foudation. We hope everyone is amazing on the day.

APS THIS TERM!

The first two weeks of APS has been awesome but tough at the same time. I am doing footy this term. So far our team has had a great start to the season. We have worked together a lot.

Our training sessions have also been fantastic. We all do the drills that the coaches set up really well and we all listen to the coaches. So far everyone has been happy with how we have played as a team.

You can already see that everyone is improving and learning of each other so quickly. I am really loving APS this term so far.

How has your start to APS been?

Book Chat

My favourite genre of book is sport. I like this section because there is a lot of variety in this section and lots of different sports to choose from. I especially like Basketball, AFL and Cricket books. It’s great to read these books because you learn a lot of information from them and some of them have lots of different facts about the sport.

For Book Chat so far this year I have liked The Boy and the Spy. I really liked this book because there was so much action and a really good cliff hanger. The character description of the main character was excellent and it made me want to keep reading. The other book chat book I’ve read is The War That Saved My Life and everyone was saying it is so good but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would of.

What have your favourite books and genres been so far this  year?  

Term 1 Reflection

Term 1 has been amazing but it’s so sad that it’s gone so quickly. One of my biggest highlights of the term has definitely been APS. The triathlons we did really pushed me and I managed to finish. Rock Climbing has also been fantastic.

I have learned a lot this term but one of things I have learned the most is division. The bus stop strategy has definitely helped me work on my division.

One of the positive learner attributes I have used is resilience. I used this when I swam my 50m freestyle and came last in the swimming carnival but I was resilient and I kept going and tried my best in the next races.

Something else I have liked this term has been seeing my buddy at house and I the yard. He has been very nice and supportive and he also likes sport which is one similarity we have.

Grandfriends Day

Grandfriends day was fantastic this year and I had an awesome time with my grandma. I think we both had a wonderful time together and enjoyed playing math games.

I think she enjoyed the target number game more because it got her brain thinking and she found it really hard and interesting to get the target number.

I got the target number a couple of times and she got it once. Then I showed her how I work out multiplication sums and she found it really confusing. How was your grandfriends day?
