Week 3 and the build up to the Book Fair

This week we have finished the book Gregor the Overlander written by Suzanne Collins.  Gregor is an adventure book about a boy called Gregor and his sister Margaret (aka Boots)then they fall through a laundry shute.  Gregor turns out to be a warrior in the underland and has to go on an adventure to fulfill the Prophecy of Grey,this is the prophecy.”BEWARE,UNDERLANDERS,TIME HANGS BY A THREAD.the hunter are hunted,white water run red.the gnawers will strike to extinguish the rest.the hope of the hopeless resides in the quest. An overland warrior,a son of the sun,may bring us back light,may bring us back none.but gather your neighbors and follow his call or rats will devour us all.two over,two under, of royal descent,two fyers,two crawlers,two spinners assent.one gnawer beside and one up ahead.and eight will be left when we count up the dead.the last who will die must decide where he stands.the fate of the eight is contained in his hands.so bid him take care,bid him look where he leaps,as life may be death and death life again reaps”

On Wednesday we had showers outside then it started to rain. We looked outside for a bit then we remembered that our shoes were outside. A whole heap of people rushed out, it was loud. here were a whole pile of shoes inside the classroom.

This week we have been making Monster Plates for the monster book fair.

The whole school has been making them.

Sumdog - Games that make learning fun

This week we have been on a PLP(Personalised Learning Plan).  PLP is about when we sortt out our own learning for the week.  In Room 13 we can plan our week.   We are still trying to do it without complications and over time we will get there.

This week we learnt about TOCRE in Narratives: Title,

Orientation (Setting, Characters), Complication (Problem), Resolution (Solution) & Ending. This is what makes a good story. We have been looking at this in myths & legends, seeing if they have these things.  So far, most of them do.

Yesterday we went to Room 5 and 6 so we could learn more about the partner we got put with.  After that they came to our class and we showed them what we have been learning.  I showed my partner a website called Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a site that you can make all kinds of objects out of 3D blocks.
