The Boring Street

This week in Room 6 we read a story called 'The Boring Street' it's about a boy called Ryan who moved to a new neighbourhood which he found boring. His street was originally called 'Baring Street' but since he found it boring he started to call it 'Boring Street'. After awhile in his new neighbourhood he made new friends called Ze Minh and Heremia. 

In order to show we understood the text we had to complete follow up activities in our Literacy books and one digitally. The activity I chose to do digitally was Knowledge where I had to draw/trace a picture of Ryan and his new friends and put something about them.

Something I need to work on: Manage my time so that I can do my activities in my highest standard.

Something I enjoyed:  was reading the story and how they made improvements in the neighbourhood.

Something I found challenging: was tracing the pictures because it took so much time.

Script Writing

This week our topic for writing was script writing. Our student teacher, Ms Ellis told us the structure of a script. We had to plan what we were going to be writing about and the characters we were going to include in our writing. For our characters we had to plan what their hair colour is going to be, what their favourite memory is, what their age is, what their name is etc. We had to be creative to produce a character to be put in our script. As for the actual script, the first time we did write a script we had to write about our main character's favourite memory or the worst thing that ever happened to them. These were planned and all we had to do was write a whole script about the scenario!

Something I enjoyed about writing my script was being able to be creative and make my own characters and giving them personality. Something I should work on is using more strong vocabulary in my writing to describe the scenario and hook my reader in. Something I found interesting was how to write a script because the structure of a script writing was different from my normal type of writing.

A letter to Angie!

 It was a usual day for Angie. She was in her room reading a book called ‘Diary of the wimpy kid.’ and humming along with her favourite song ‘Euphoria’ by a Kpop idol called Jungkook.

 Angie stops what she was doing and puts her bookmark in her book and stopped the music coming from her phone because of the knock on the door.

 Angie: “Come in!”

 Her little brother Mark comes in

 Mark: “Hey Angie there’s a man outside our door that wants you apparently.”
 Angie: “Huh? Why, What is it about?” 
Mark: “They said there was a letter addressed to you?”
Angie: “Oh Okay I’ll be down in a minute”

 Mark nods and exits Angie’s Room. Angie stands up from her bed and puts her book back in the space her book shelf has. She grabs her phone and puts in her pocket. She exits her room and went downstairs to meet her brother, Mark. When Angie got down she saw Mark and the mail man arguing. She sighs.

 Mark: “But I can just give it to her!”
 Mail Man: “I’m sorry but I just can’t give it to you!”

Mark heavily sighs…

 Mark: “Please?”

 Angie walks over to them and taps Mark’s shoulder getting his attention. Mark turns around to face Angie.

 Angie: “Go run along Mark, I’ll take over”

 Mark nods and walks away from the door. Angie watched him walk away and faced the mail man again.

 Angie: “I’m sorry about that.”
 Mail Man: “It’s alright. Here is your letter”

 The Mail man smiles reassuringly and gave Angie her letter.

Angie: “Thank you”

 Angie smiles at the mailman and takes her letter. 

Mail Man: “No worries! I should get going now”

 Angie nods, the mail man walks away to go deliver some more mail. Angie goes inside and closes the door and goes back to her room. She sees Mark sitting on her bed playing on his phone.

 Angie: “What are you doing?”

 Angie asked annoyed.

 Mark: “Who’s the letter from?”

Mark asked looking up from his phone screen to talk to Angie.

 Angie: “None of your business Mark. Can you get out now?”

 Mark groans but he knew better not to annoy his sister so he goes out and does his own business. Angie then takes Mark’s seat on her bed and opens the letter…

 Angie: “Dear Angie….”

Angie trails off as she starts to read to herself. As Angie reads on her eyes sparkled and her smile grew wider. Angie finishes reading her letter and lets out a squeal. Mark barges in.

 Mark: “What? What’s wrong?”
Mark asked a worried expression plastered on his face.

 Angie: “Mark! I got in the company!”

Angie says excitedly making Mark sigh in relief.

 Mark: “Wah I thought something bad happened! Congrats!”
 Angie: “Thanks! Let’s celebrate! I’ll treat you pizza!”

 Mark’s eyes sparkles at the sound of pizza. He jumps around.

 Mark: “What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

 The two siblings exits Angie’s room to get pizza to celebrate her getting in the company she wanted to be in.

Dumbo- Circus of dreams

WALT: to make connections between the main ideas in the story and the world.

On week 3 our student teacher, Ms Ellis read us a book called 'Dumbo Circus of Dreams' Our task was to answer comprehension questions she puts on our class site. While doing this we were allowed to let our imagination go wild by making our own circus. More activities will be put on the site as we read more chapters of 'Dumbo'
Something I found hard: Was thinking what can go on my circus and making it interesting.
Something I found easy: Answering the comprehension questions because the story was interesting.
Something I need to work on: Try and finish my work on time.

The Ascension

In Room 6 we have been learning about 'The Ascension Of Jesus' this is a time in Jesus' life where he goes back to his father in Heaven.  Jesus ascended into heaven in the fortieth day after Resurrection. Our task was to make a drawing to help us remember what 'The Ascension' is.

What I found Hard: Was finding pictures to trace that will not take too much time, and one that will go with the words in my work.
What I need to work on: I need to work on putting more pictures to go with the words in my work.
What I found easy:  Was putting the stages into words.

Character Description(Mother's day)

WALT: write a character description using 'show not tell' in our writing.

In Room 6 we have been learning about writing Character Description. For this writing we had to write a character description about our mother or another significant female in our lives. I choose my mum because Mother's day is coming up. We had to write four paragraphs describing their Physical Features, their Behaviour, reputation(how this person affects other people) and Environment and Belongings(How this person likes their surroundings)

What I did well: Using a different language in my writing to make it more interesting(I used Tagalog/Filipino)
What I enjoyed: Writing about my mother.
What I need to work on: Finishing faster but with a lot of detail.


My Mother,

 In the year 1978 and child named Liezl entered the world, now she is my mother. Your smile is bright and cheerful. Your eyes are always shining making it look like you have the stars in your eyes. Your black medium length hair is always tied and fluffy.

 You always use your calm voice even though you are annoyed. You spread your positiveness around and put everyone in a good mood. You never let us go through anything alone and will do anything to make us happy. You would work hard for us to give us the things we need in life.

 You always try your best to cheer us up if we were feeling down. You always put others before yourself. You like taking care of others and making them feel like a someone. You have a very passionate heart. You know when we are not feeling the best and you would try your best to comfort us.

 My mum likes to have a clean environment so she would ask us “Gawin niyo na yung mga gawaing bahay!” (Do your chores) and we would always reply with “Wait lang!” (Wait) but we would always end up not doing our chores, but she will still love us the same way.

 My mum is very caring. We love her very dearly. Mahal Kita Mum!(I Love you mum)

Character Description

WALT: Write a character description using 'show not tell' in our writing.

In Room 6 we read a book called 'Pig the star' We had to write character descriptions about either Pig or Trevor(Pig's Sausage dog friend) I wrote my character Description about Trevor.

Something I found hard: was writing my character description with the 'show not tell'
Something I found easy: Was creating the sentences that were needed to make the paragraph



Trevor -  He has floppy ears that cover the side of his head. Trevor has sausage like body along with small legs. He has a small tail like a stick. He shows this gloomy feeling by his eyes because of being with pig so much. His snout is long with a black nose at the end of it.

 Trevor is a very quiet dog, he isn’t like Pig he doesn’t want to be the centre of attention. He is very compassionate to others including Pig even though Pig hasn’t been treating him the best. He is a shy dog and lets Pig have the attention. He would only have the confidence to shine when he can, but if he does shine he would still be humble and kind towards others and Pig.

 Trevor is a disciplined dog which makes Pig do whatever he wants to him. Trevor is also forgiving which causes Pig to continue being big headed. He tries to ignore Pig’s rude and careless behaviour which makes Pig irritated. Trevor’s quietness makes Pig more confident and steal his limelight. 

Trevor’s a very organised dog, like some type of perfectionist. He doesn’t like to see his things out of place, if he does see one thing out of place he would put it right back where it belongs. He isn’t that type of person who would leave his clothes laying around the floor. He likes to put his belongings where he can find them easily when he needs them.
