Who Are You???

It was a dark cold night, and everyone was fast asleep in the house. I was shivering with fear in my bed alone, I didn’t know what to do. So I stepped out of bed and went to the kitchen to get me a glass of delicious warm milk. Suddenly I heard someone screaming “Help, help, help” from across the street. I place my cup of heart warming milk on the table and tippy toed over to see what was happening. As I looked through the window I see a suspicious man just standing looking like he wanted something. He turned around and looked at me like he knew me. So I quickly turned back and hid myself as fast as I could behind my curtain. I peeked through the curtain to see if he turned back but he has disappeared. I was as scared as a stranded animal. I wondered where he went. Is he a bird that just flew away?. Is he a magician that magically disappeared?. I also wonder who was screaming ‘Help’ three times.

I wondered so hard, but nothing came up. Suddenly I see a shadow shining behind me like the light of Heaven. I turned around and it was the suspicious man again. What was doing here?. Does he want something?. He spoke to me and said, “My name is Jake”. “Why are you here?” I said. He never answered my question, but just vanished out the door. I tried to run after him, but he was too fast. “WAIT! DO YOU KNOW WHO WAS SCREAMING FOR HELP!?” I shouted. But no answer.

After that night he never returned, he was never to be seen after that night. I never stopped thinking about it. So I walked to school and told my friends about it, but they didn't believed me. So I walked home from school and I saw him standing there looking at me again. I ran to him quickly, but then the next minute he’s gone. So I went home with a head full of wonders mostly about him and also about who was screaming ‘Help’. That night was a night that will be remembered and never forgotten.

My Hard Working Maths!!!

Today I was doing Maths Whizz. What I was doing on Maths Whizz was Pencil and Paper-Subtraction. On Maths Whizz I learnt about strategies, more about subtraction and addition, division, fractions and all sorts of maths activities. I am so proud of myself because I am becoming a better Maths student.

The Tear Bringing Voice

The sky becomes dark and the clouds turn black. “What’s happening” says Frankie. “I have no idea” says Kyme. While the

y were at the park playing with some bark, suddenly this happens. As Frankie was swinging on the swing she hears someone whispering her name saying “Frankie, Frankie, Frankie”. That was the most spookiest thing ever. Kyme was more frightened when she looked behind someone or something when zoom right across her face. None of them knew what was going on. “Are we going to get kidnapped?” says Frankie while she was shivering with fright. “I don’t know, Frankie, I think it’s just some Karma happening to someone around here, so it’s no biggy”

says Kyme.

Suddenly they hear a sound coming from behind. “You will never find out who I am” says the spooky sound. “This is just a trick. I know it’s you Dave” says Kyme. “No it’s not Dave, by the way Dave isn’t a part of your life anymore. I’ve taken him somewhere far from here”. Then they hear Dave's voice shouting “Help me, help me, help me!”. “Dave is that you?, what did you do to him, DAVE, DAVE, DAVE where are you?!!!” shouted Kyme.

While Kyme was on her knees bursting her tears out, she thought about Frankie but Frankie wasn’t there. “Frankie, where are you?” cried Kyme. Kyme walks about in the park searching her eyes out for Frankie. “Frankie!!!” shouts Kyme. Suspiciously Kyme saw that spooky thing go zoom past her face again. “Is that you, Frankie?”. “No it’s me” says the mysterious voice. “Frankie is safe here with me and Dave”. “They will come back to after answer all my questions, then you will be next Kyme”.

After a while Kyme fell asleep on a platform of grass nearby the park. The sun came out and it was shining as bright as ever. Kyme woke up with a fright and she saw that she was lying on top of her bed with her soft, wooly blanket on her. As she woke she quickly thought about her best friend Frankie and her little brother Dave. She quickly ran into Dave’s room to check if he was there. He was fast asleep not even think about waking up to see who was at the door. She ran back to her bedroom, called Frankie and there she was at home lying in bed. “Hi Frank, are you alright?” asks Kyme. “Of course, why?” says Frankie. “Oh um, nothing I’m alright. Bye!” shouts Kyme.

While Kyme was at the kitchen she thought about what happened last night, but it was only just a dream. So she wondered and said to herself “What if that really happened in real life?”. She didn’t stop thinking about it. She grew up still thinking about the same thing. She couldn’t even do her homework or anything else. So Kyme just went on with her life and tried to forget about. So on she became storyteller and shared her dream in a book she wrote, and lived her life with joy.

My Fantastic Reading On Another Level

Today I was reading a story called 'The Kangaroo Who Danced' written by Dreamtime and Beyond in Australia. The story is about a Kangaroo called Bohra. He really liked it when it was night time because he would gather his food by the light of the stars and the moon. I am so proud of myself for reading very well and going up levels in reading.

Our Breathtaking Football Session!!

Guess what we did today? Today was another day of our fantastic, wind blowing, and breathtaking football session. We were never taught new skills, we just played tournaments with teams, the Yellow team, Blue team, Shirt team, and the Red team. As we were playing we tried to get the ball off the other team and when we get the ball we were running as fast as the wind but didn't make a score. Then our instructor counted backwards saying “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!” when the ended, then our time is up the next team comes up and the next game starts. Everyone was running as the wind was blowing against our faces, and then scores a try. I think the blue or yellow team won most of the games. Today we played in rotation, when one team scores a try, we rotate to the next team. It was the best tournament of Football that I ever had. I CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR NEXT SESSION!!!!!.....:D

My Amazing Maths!!!!!

Today on Maths Whizz I was doing subtraction on pencil and paper. I learnt a lot about it because I've done pencil and paper most of the times. I am so proud to be a Maths Whizz student and I am going to a really good maths student.

More Fantastic Reading From ME!!!!!

Another Best Football Lesson!!!

Hooray! Today was another lesson of football with Ben. For warm up we had a race. Then we started our lesson. He taught us how to dribble and how to do the scissors. We practised that for for a while and then we went onto a game of football. It was the same teams, Outlaws vs Bulldogs. We only had five minutes of the game because some people took a long time to listen, so we just had a five minute game. While the game everyone had really good kicks, and passes. The best kick was from our mate Jerome. We were saddened down when we heard we only had 20 seconds left, then the time was up. Ben talked a little bit about our behaviour and told us that we needed to be better when we go again next week. I can’t wait till our other lesson next week!!!

Finding Out Perimeters of 2D Shapes!!!

WALT find the Perimeter of 2D shapes

Formulae:

Perimeter of a Square = side + side + side + side or 4 x side

Example: The perimeter of a square of side  5cm = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm or 4 x 5 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following squares:

The perimeter of a square of side  10cm = 4 x 10 = 40 cm

The perimeter of a square of side  25cm = 4 x 25 = 100 cm

The perimeter of a square of side  5m = 4 x 5 = 20 cm

The perimeter of a square of side  50m = 4 x 50 = 200 cm

The perimeter of a square of side  1km = 4 x 1 = 4 km

Perimeter of a Rectangle = length + width + length + width or 2 x l + 2 x w

Example: The perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6cm and width is 4cm = 6 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 20 cm or 2 x 6 + 2 x 4= 12 + 8 = 20 cm

Find the perimeter of the following rectangles whose lengths and widths are given below:

Rectangle 1 - length is 8cm and width is 5cm

Perimeter = 26 cm

Rectangle 2 - length is 10cm and width is 7cm

Perimeter = 34 cm

Rectangle 3 - length is 8m and width is 6m

Perimeter = 28 cm

Rectangle 4 - length is 16m and width is 10m

Perimeter = 52 cm

Rectangle 5 - length is 4km and width is 2km

Perimeter = 12 cm

Evaluation: Today I learnt how to find out the perimeter of 2D shapes

The story is about a little boy that really wanted to enter a bike race at his school but the only thing was that he didn't know how to ride his bike so he was trained. I am so proud of myself because I am becoming a reading champion and I won't stop!!!!!!

The Best Football Lesson!

Yesss!!! Today was our football lesson with our instructor Ben. He taught us how to do juggling with the ball. We picked our partners and we started juggling.Juggling with the ball is not like juggling at a circus.You have to try and kick the ball up and down at the about the end of your toes.You had to try and do that for as long as possible, but I couldn't since i’m a netball player. We did a little warm up of octopus. We played 2 games of octopus and then we went onto a real game football. The teams were the same, Outlaws and Bulldogs. We went into position and started playing. It was the best game ever. At the end of the game the game was a tie. We got talked about what we were going to do next week and we left in a nice straight line. That was the bestest football game ever, and I can’t wait till next week!!!!!
