Autumn Leaves

Key competency goals

One of my key competency goals were tidy desk. I think I have improved on this because I know have a tidier desk so I can find things.

The other one was when to lead and when to follow. I have achieved this goal by letting others to lead but allowing myself to get a chance too.

Math goal

My math goal is division facts fast and I think I have achieved this goal by going on Mathletics and I can usually think of the answer straight away. I did a test with Miss Cooper and I think I have improved.

Reading goal

My reading goal is accuracy, I think I have improved on my goal because I am not finding much hard words any more but if I do find some tricky words I can work out how to say it.

Writing goal

My writing goal is advanced punctuation. I think I have achieved this goal because in my story's I like using ?!-():; and some more. My teacher has been commenting on my work.

 

Harold

Today was awesome!!! My class got to see Harold the giraffe for the second time this year. Who is Harold? Harold is a puppet who lives in a mobile classroom. We also found out that we need a mobile classroom as well. The mobile class room is a big truck. On the inside there is lots of boards controlled by one little I-pod, well that is what I think it is. It is really cosy inside the classroom.


Who is the teacher? The teacher is Lynn. She is really nice. She is in charge of everything inside. We also do learning inside the classroom (of course). There is one thing that I want you all to know, THINK BEFORE YOU SAY. Lynn even made up this acrostic poem thing.


T is for True.
H is for Helpful.
I is for Important.
N is for Necessary.
K is for Kind.


First when we got there we took off our shoes because Harold's carpet had been cleaned. We sat down in rows of 3 so there was still a little pathway to walk through. Next a boy in my class, Donavan got chosen to do a messy activity. None of us knew what he going to do, Lynn only said it was messy. Then Lynn came up holding a packet of toothpaste and a clip board. I had no idea of what he had to do. Finally Lynn started explain. "So" she said. "Donavan is going to splat all the toothpaste on the paper and then make a drawing out of the toothpaste." Donavan squirted on the toothpaste and started to draw a smiley face. It didn't really turn out but he did a really good job. After that Donavan had to true put the toothpaste back in the tube in its stripes. No one could do it. This was to say when you've said something you can't take it back.


We had some really long but really fun lessons learning about what choices to make and what drinks not to drink. Finally at the end we got to see Harold. We had a disco party with him and got the party lights. When ever the song said shooting stars, stars appeared on the ceiling. It was awesome. The lunch bell rang and we sadly walked out of the class and headed for lunch. We can't wait for Harold to come again!!

The Clocktower

Once upon a time there lived a lady called Maggie. Maggie was really excited, she was pregnant and was giving birth in a few days. She was having a girl named Charlotte. Maggie didn't have a husband and died when giving birth. Charlotte was sent to a nice lady or who the doctors thought was a nice lady at a really weird and dull tower. The lady went to work every day and left Charlotte alone. One day when the lady was at work, Charlotte had an idea. She was going to Make some things out of wood with the knife in the corner. First Charlotte cut a doughnut shape and then cut squares off it. It looked like a spinning thing. Charlotte did lots more of them and she stuck them on the walls and things like that. The world turned colourful when she was happy and dull when she was sad. She started growing up and was six years old. She stood in the middle of the shapes and swirled around when she was happy.
