poems

We have been reading a poem from Benny McEver and we been acting some of the scenes from his poem. And we had to circle words that we didn’t understand . The whole class had to choose a scene. And we chose the scene from where Benny was sitting at the back of the class room, we did this in English .

All of the class had to be in a group so we could do a scene each.

Geography:Caring for rivers

Recently, we have been learning how people care for the rivers. They go through many things that are all in cause to stop pollution [water pollution] these are caused by junk and factories waste . It’s not just that there’ s more. Also there are ways to defend floods like: flood warnings, dams [to let out water], embankments and walls .

We saw the way we can tell how high the water is and if its polluted by people taking examples of the river . There’s a enviromental station which keeps control of the river like the flow and how clean the water is .

Numicon

In Maths today, we used the Numicon to help us with our  Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. We made 100, 50, 40 and 75 holes with different shapes,sizes and colours. Each colour represented a fraction out of 100, 50, 40 and 75 like 17/40.

Can you think of some fractions equivalent to 17/40?

Poems

Today we acted out a scene from a poem about a boy who had never met his mother or his father and he lived with his grandma. He was lonely and had no friends. He was poor so he stole a golden watch ! He wanted attention and everyone believed that his dad gave it to him.

We chose a scene to act out and we practiced our parts in the scene and we then shown it to the whole class . When we performed our parts of the poem we showed the class. We all had five people in the group . About three groups did a scene of police man standing by grandmas side after Benny the main character had stolen the watch !
