Bridge to Terabithia Chapter 2.

 Bridge to Terabithia.

Jess's first impression of Lessie Burke , he didn't know if she was a boy or a girl. When she said"There is no one around for miles we might at least be friends". Some how he knew she was a girl. Jess was not really interested so he bluntly said "I have work to do". He returned with a milk pale to milk the cow but when he came back she was not there. Jess did not really like her much. So it didn't worry him.

He never saw her till the first day of school (which was the race day). I think Jess's opinion on her will change on the running race day, because Jess did not know how fast she is. Jess might accept and be friends with Lessie Burke.

Thank you card and How thank you changes the world reflection.

 Reflection

This week we had to make a thank you card to a person that has helped us lately. We had to stick it in our book when we finished, for checking. First we had to to draft. Then edit. Then rewrite ( if we had to) and then publish on a card. I decided to make a pop up card, so I found a  youtube clip to follow. In the card we had to mention how we felt.  I made a thank you card for my brother for helping me cut up meat for the dogs. Then we had a big question we had to write how thank you changes the world. Thank you changes the world because it  complements  the person that has done something for you. This changes the world because it will make those to people to do good things which inspires other to do the same. Thank you shows you are grateful for something which will make other people say thank you. 

Smile Peom

 Smiling poems

Smiling is like covid-19, 

you catch it really fast.

Soon I had a smile ear to ear.

I walked down the road with the sun on my face.

Everyone saw my grin and then there faces turned as bright as the sun.

A big smile is all you need to make it speed wildly around the world like 1,2,3.

So get out of your house sharing your massive grin.

Report On My Information Report😃

 My report on my information report

Last week, our writing task was to make a information report and we could present in any way. I presented mine on a poster. My information report was about Jack Russell's. First we had to plan our writing. Miss Slattery linked a planning sheet. After our planning we had to do a draft of our writing. We had to include a description, its habitat, movement, food and there breeding habitats. Then I wrote it all down on a poster, with a black pen. Next I drew a picture of the Jack Russell on my poster. Then I showed it to Miss Slattery, and she corrected it. Then I checked it again and carefully put it in the 'in tray'. I am excited for our next information report!  This is a picture of my information report about Jack Russel's.

 A new Skill

Last week, we learnt what subjects and predicates are... In a sentence the subject is the noun or name includes all the descriptive information about the subject. The predicate includes all the descriptive information about the subject. Miss Slattery gave us a work sheet that have ten sentences on each side. 

On the first side we had to draw a line in between the subject and the predicate. On the second side we had to circle the complete subject, and underline the predicate.

After we finished we glued it in our book and had to show Miss Slattery. This Skill will help me a lot in the future, because it will help me be able to tell the difference from a predicate and the subject. This will also help me be able to write excellent story's and sentences.
