Camels explanation

Did you know that camels can go 30 days without water and drink up to 46 litres of water and camels have changed over time. Camels live in every hot area in Dubai where it is ever hot and sandy, it’s about 42० heat.

In Dubai where it’s sandy and hot and where it’s 42० you can’t find water so easily so camels have to eat cactus to get water from them to keep hydrated if you touch a cactus it will prick and hurt so camels have thick lips and they want feel the pricks. Camels eat cactus because there is not a lot of grass and plants in the desert and it mostly hot sands.

Camels can walk on hot sand because they have pads on their feets to protect them from the hot sand. In the hot sandy days how can the camels see through the sand? they have double eyelashes so the eyelash can keep the sand away from the eyes when they are walking through the sand.

How can camels percent their noses from the sand well the noses close up so the sand does not go up in there nostrils so they can go for a long time. Camels have humps on their back where they keep fat in it which they can use it as food in time they need to.

Camels can go a long time without food or water because they have humps on there back and inside they have fat which that is there food, they can go a long time without water because they eat cactus to get water from them to keep hydrated and they have thick lips to help them eat the cactus and camels have pads on there feets so they can walk through the sand and they have doubled eyelash to help the see through the sand.

This week Mrs Anderson's writing group was learning about camels and how they have changed over the time to live in the hot desist in Dubai. Did you know that camels can go 30 days without water in the most hottest area it is about 42० diggers and they can drink about 46 litres of water.

Apostrophes - meaning

This week Mrs Anderson's group have been working on a DLO for writing, we have been learning about apostrophes and were they go in a sentence. Apostrophes are put in a word if something belongs to someone or if you want to make two words short like I do not want to go to the doctors, I don't want to go to the doctors, another is like I do not want to go home right now because I am have to much fun in the shops, I don't want to go home right now because I am having to much fun in the shops. I have learnt some new thing about apostrophes and I have had a lot of fun learning and making this DLO.

Panmure Bridge

Why the Panmure Bridge was built.

Did you know that the Panmure bridge was built three times?. The first Panmure bridge was constructed in 1854, the second Panmure bridge was constructed in 1916 and the third Panmure bridge was constructed in 1959.

Before all the Panmure bridges were constructed there was a punt, whenever anyone wanted to use the punt it had to be good weather to go on it.

People got tired of waiting for the weather to get good so they wanted a bridge. The first bridge was made from wood and iron, it wasn't strong so they didn't let heavy things on it.

Then the second Panmure bridge was built because the first Panmure bridge wasn't strong and so it broke. The second Panmure bridge was made from iron and wood and concrete. A few years later people were noticing cracks in the concrete, so they made the third Panmure bridge.

The third Panmure bridge was built in 1864 and it’s still standing until this day. Do you think in a few more years will have the fourth Panmure bridge?

This week our focus for Mrs Anderson writing group was why the Panmure bridge built, the Panmure bridge was built because people were getting tired of wait for the person that was sailing the punt to come and they were tired of waiting for the weather to get good so they want a bridge, if you want to know what happens next or if you want to know if they built the Panmure bridge and when you have to read my Expiation.

This year the 2018 winter Olympics they showed a huge amount of respect and used lots equipment.
There were lots countries coming together to compete with other countries they showed lots of

Today I used my word list.

Next time I need to change my words to make then more powerful.   

124 words

Today we used the ‘2 words 1 minute’ challenge to write a description about the Winter Olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the winter Olympics we created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘equipment’ and ‘respect’ to help us think about what we were going to write.

We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 1 minute to put those ideas into sentences. We had to try our best to use all the words on our vocab list. After the minute was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

Let me tell you something about the Winter Olympics

Let me tell you about the 2018 winter olympics. Ninety two countries come together to verse each other. This year the olympics were held in Pyeong Chang, in South Korea. All the athletes represent a country and they compete to get first place, second place and third place medals in their events. Athletes and coaches work together as a team to win. They all try their very best to win and train really hard so that they will achieve their goals.

This morning we worked in pairs to write a 5 minute description of the Winter Olympics. We first sat and talked about the olympics so that we had the same ideas. After that we sat back to back and wrote a sentence each. The hard part was that we weren't allowed to talk about it. We had to read what our partners had written and carry the description on. It was a good way to make sure what we wrote made sense. Brooklyn and I changed some words and punctuation when we checked our work at the end. It was a fun way to practise new learning.

Chinese New Year

How is Chinese New Year Celebrated?

Like every other Country in the world we all celebrate something different. Today we are celebrating Chinese New Year. How did this very old tradition begin? There are a lot of different stories, but which is true? Well here's what we know about this celebration.

This day is a very special day that people all around the world are welcome to celebrate. The Chinese New Year Celebration lasts up to 15 days straight. It starts on a New moon and ends on a Full moon. People come together and feast on delicious foods like Egg Rolls, Noodles, and Shrimp. These foods are usually eaten on these days.

Hongbao (money inside a red envelope) is given to children and unmarried adults for good luck and wealth. On the last very last day of the celebration people light lanterns. This symbolises the people who have passed on.

Long ago there was an scary dragon that went by the name Meien. He went to the village nearby and scared everyone the animals too. One day a wise man came along and told the people “Meien is very scared of loud sounds, fire and the colour red”. The dragon went back to the village the next day and he gazed upon the people wearing red clothing. The people started to light torches, let off firecrackers and lanterns. The dragon began to get frightened and ran away further and further from the village. That is when the people from China started wearing red and gold on these days.

There are different animals for the 12 years in the cycle. This legend is very old as well. Once there lived an Jade Emperor. He couldn't choose just 12 animals to symbolise the different years. So he set a race. The Jade Emperor said the first 12 animals to reach his palace were the animals to represent the years. So the animals began the race, the Rat as coming first until he came across a river. Luckily the Ox was just around the corner. So the Ox carried the Rat on top of his head. But just as they were about to reach land the Rat jumped off his head and won the race. That is why the Rat is the first animal in our calendar and this year, 2018, is the year of the dog.

All of us celebrate something different. But that doesn't mean that the fun is over. That means anyone can join in the fun and entertainment. This is a very old tradition that  is exciting and will be celebrated in the following years to come.

A few days ago Shakaia and I worked together to finish this explanation about Chinese New Year. As we were working together we discussed what information to add into our writing to make sure that it was easy to read and made sense. I think we worked well together because we helped each other.

How Children Learn at School

How Children Learn at School

Do you remember when you were a child and copying your friends or teacher by observing, you asked questions because you are curious, and took risks in school to learn? Learning is having courage to ask questions, so that you are able to make connections with your what you are talking about. Learning is important since you are growing your knowledge.

Children are good observers, they are able to watch and learn new skills. By watching, they are increasing the amount of knowledge they have. Children look up to role models so they can see new ways that they could learn.

Children ask questions because they are eager to learn more. Children are interested in a topic, so they try to understand it more and so they ask for help from their classmates or teachers, to make connections with their learning.

Children take risks so they understand what they’re learning about, some of the risks are things like; asking questions, and asking students for help. Since they ask other people, they are looking at different perspectives which will help them explore different ideas.

Many people have different learning styles, some watch videos, some read, some people ask their elderlies like the teacher. To find your learning style, you have to find a way which makes you comfortable, like watching videos makes people comfortable because people are talking to you, with their opinions. You have to find something that makes sense to you. You could read, or even simply ask questions. Your learning style will help you understand, but everyone has different learning styles

This is my DLO that I have been working on with nazella and Joshua. We have been prating our writing Explanation and this is what we got for feed back (grate work just some parts I can not understand what your learning about. That's what we will work on to get better at next time.)

Let me tell you about the worst mistake

Let me tell you about the worst mistake

Let me tell you about  the worst mistake I have made at home.  One day my dad just come for work he had an Samsung Galaxy Note 5+ in is hand. It was new and inside the pack. I was in my room. When he got inside he called me so I went to him. I almost fainted when I saw the Samsung Galaxy Note 5+ when he said it was my one! I felt so happy, it was as if I was going to Paris. But then two weeks later I went outside with my phone. It was in my hand the whole time. Then when my mum called me to come in inside I ran to the house and the phone slipped out of my hands and fell on the ground. I was as worried as if I was cat that did not want to go to the vet. I had no idea what to do. It was so scary and then I had to tell him. Sadly now I am not getting a phone until I am year 8 and it's going to be an iphone 6+. My sister has one but I don’t. It was my worst mistake ever and it wouldn’t have happened if i had an screen protector.

Today we did the 5-7-10 activity for writing to describe the worst mistake we have ever made. We had to write for 5 minutes, share what we had written with a buddy for 7 minutes, and then carry on writing for another 10 minutes.

A or An

Today we were learning when to use a  and when to use an before a word if a word begins with a vowel (a-e-i-o-u) or a word or s silent h (eg-hour), we use an. We use a for all other words. The photo shows the sentences we wrote to practice using a and an.

Hajera. Let me tell you something about lunchtime at PBS

Let me tell you something about lunchtime at PBS. The bell rings and everyone races out of the door. Getting there is a mad rush as everyone pushes to get their lunch out of their bag. Most people eat as fast as they can. When they have finished they speed down the stairs to the handball court, they race down as if they are getting free ice cream!. The girls sit around and tell each other about how the have lost or won their netball games. Some of the  students like to play rugby or handball. There are always so many little kids that are so loud, they like to play with us big kids.They are like busy bees swarming around us.

In writing we have been learning how to proofread and give feedback / feed forward. After 4 minutes of writing we had to work in partners to make sure what we had written makes sense.

Narrative Structure

We have been work on Narrative Structure I have been working with Viva and Javeylor we have been  putting thing in Oder and we have been explanation the sandwich came's to life and how it get out of the bag.

Writing Instructions

Today we had to make a copy of writing instructions and put them in order so they make sense. Then we had to use our scribble tool to show the verbs. This made it easy to find the verbs.

Archery fun

Archery Fun

Five minutes of our camp

As my cheeks get red like a cherry I was about to explode with excitement. I couldn’t believe I was about to do archery. The arrows were flying and the kids were getting louder and louder.

Now it was my turn. As I picked up the bow I got the arrow and put it in place I felt nervous. It was time to let it go. My hands were shaking as I released it. A big smile was on my face when I hit the target. It was now my second try, I could feel the pressure around me. I then let go it go. Sadly the arrow landed on the grass by then it was my last arrow. I pulled the string towards me, I was scared I wouldn’t hit the target again. I had a bigger smile than before because it landed near the board. I was quite proud of myself.

As I finished off this activity I felt like doing it again. Pulling my sleeve up I saw a mark on my arm. Was it a bruise?

This is my recount of the fun time I had at archery.

Saturn V

   Saturn V

The Saturn V was a rocket NASA built to send people to the moon. The Saturn V was a type of rocket called a heavy lift vehicle. That means it is very powerful. It was the most powerful rocket that had ever flown successfully.

The Saturn V that launched the Skylab and the space station only had 2 stages.This rocket used for Apollo missions and had 3 stages.Each stages had burn its engine until it was out of fuel and it would separate from the rocket.

Engine

The engine on the next stage would fire and the rocket would fly of to space. Every part of the rocket is used and then it is discarded when a mission happens.At the time the,The F.1 was the most largest and most powerful liquid-fueled engine ever made.But there's a chance that in the near future, a giant rocket powered by updated F-1 engines might once again thunder into the sky.
