15 minitue buddy writing

I wake up and all I hear is something calling me and pulling me closer to it. I follow the voice and it leads me to a dark place in the middle of nowhere. It's sticky and smelly. Every time I go up facing the blue sky I feel this slimy thing oozing off the side of me as I plop back down. I call for help but no-one is around. So I ask my twin brother but he is daydreaming. I go faster swishing through the mud and out I go. I can now feel the wind blowing softly on my face, but suddenly drop straight back down bruising my soul. I think to myself “Is this the end of me”. For sure I know we’ll be home soon. But no, the giant finds a colossal hill and sprints forward as I moan all the way through. As each stomp I take I feel my spine breaking apart. We are finally out and heading home. We arrive back home all wet, sticky and muddy. Then thrown down the stairs, out the door and right into the bin. Just sitting there as more things were thrown in the bin. I felt like a pile of trash.

6 Thinking Hats

This the collaborative presentation I have made with my group. We have watched a short film of a poem.We have used the 6 thinking hats to synthesise a ballad poem. 

Blue Whale: Information Report

Identifying the structure of an information report

LI: to understand the structure of information reports

Your challenge: Use the key to help you show the structure of an information report. Highlight the introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion by changing the background colour of the table. Highlight the other structures by using the highlight function.	Key
	Introduction		Body Paragraphs
	Interesting fact (to hook readers in)		Title of body paragraph

			Conclusion

Blue Whale The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. The scientific name for the blue whale is the Balaenoptera muscolus. Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale.

Diet To eat, blue whales filter their food through stiff, bony, comb-like teeth called baleen plates. Their main diet is krill (small creatures that are less than 2 cm in size). A blue whale can eat up to 3,600 kilograms of krill a day during its peak consumption period. Blue whales catch their food by diving down to about 500 meters below the surface.

Habitat Blue whales are found in open oceans from the icy waters of the extreme Southern Hemisphere to the Aleutian Islands off Alaska at the northern boundary of the Pacific Ocean. Summers are spent in polar waters because food production is higher there.

Appearance Blue whales are simply enormous. Their heart is the size of a small car. A blue whale aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. They can weigh over 200,000 kilograms! Female blue whales are generally larger than males. Blue whales are light bluish gray on their dorsal side and mottled gray whitish on their bellies. Some have yellowish bellies.

Endangered species The worldwide blue whale population is not known, however, blue whales are considered endangered according to the U.S. Endangered Species Act. For many years blue whales were hunted extensively for their large quantities of baleen, blubber, and meat. Although blue whales are protected, their populations show few signs of recovery.

Blue whales are large mammals that spends their time in the icy oceans.  They only eat krill and are not a threat to any other creature in the ocean.  Blue whales face the risk of extinction if humans continue to hunt them for their baleen, blubber and meat.

LI: To understand the structure of information report.
Today for reading we have been highlighting words. Green for intro and orange for body paragraph and then use the colours underneath the intro and body paragraph to see what sentence they fit into.

Bias

In reading this week we have been learning about bias. Bias means that someone is telling one side of a story (one point of view).  For example: Back in america where phones weren't banned. Someone wrote a report about stopping people using their phone while driving. He clearly wanted people to stop using their phones while driving. He didn't add any other point of view.

Chunky Challenge: Sub

The Subfamily

The subfamily were on the subway, then they went to pick up the sub-man. Then they submerged while they were taking a submarine. They hopped out because it was sub-zero and one of them went subdue because they wanted to see what's under water. A while later the sub man talked about how he was subordinate

This is the chunky challenge. We had to find words in the dictionary that starts with sub. And put it into these grey and yellow boxes. Then we had to choose eight of them and make a paragraph of it.

Problem Solving

This is maths problem solving. We had to answer maths questions and pick one and make a DLO about it. I have done the one were you have to figure out how tall Tom is compared to Mr Murrin.
