My welcome post :D

 Welcome to my Year 5 learning blog*. This year I am in room 28/29 and my teachers are Mrs Graham and Mrs Melville. I enjoy reading. This year I am looking forward to dodge-ball. I hope you will enjoy my blog and leave lots of feedback. :D 

*Like the year 4 one, but year 5. That's one more number! YAAAAY!

African Praise poem

I have been learning to write a African praise poem. I found this work tricky because there aren't many animals that can describe me. The most challenging thing was, surprisingly, publishing, because there wasn't enough space on the table for both the computer and my book. My next step is to find out if there are any other types of poems indigenous to certain countries.:D  

My Marvellous medicine recipe

My reflection

I was learning to make up my own marvellous medicene recipe. I found this work easy because I love cyborgs, bunnies and zillas (Godzilla humgousbiggusgiantouszilla). My next step is to MAKE IT!.

Roald Dahl GMM

My Reflection

I was learning to describe the characters in a story. We have been reading George's Marvellous Medicine.  I thought of some words to describe the antagonistic grandma. 

I found this work easy because Roald Dahl has explained the characters really really well.

My next step is to do this with the protagonist George.  

Writing language features

My reflection.

I was learning about verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. I found this tricky because I can't remember the difference. My next step is to do adjectives.

Multiplication Strategies

My Reflection

I am learning to use multiple strategies to solve a problem. I found these strategies easy.  My next step is to use these for harder problems like 96 x 5.

Speech

   Science should be a primary school subject

Science should be a primary school subject because 

If children knew more about science earlier than they would have a head start in intermediate. 

Science is biology, the study of life meaning students would know more about themselves.

Science experiments add more fun and less boring.

Students would know more about the world. Weather and all those other ones I can’t quite remember…

Some people think they should keep science for intermediate. RUBBISH! Whoever plans subjects quite possibly thinks that science is dangerous. It is NOT! 99.9% of science experiments are A.fun and B.safe. I hope I have convinced you that science is awesome and definitely should be a primary school subject.  ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

My reflection 

I have been learning to write a persuasive speech. A persuasive speech needs to have an introduction, a point of view, 3 reasons to back up your point of view and a conclusion. I think I did a good job because I had more than 3 reasons to back me up. I found it easy because I already knew what I was going to write. My next step is to write another speech with a different subject.
