Van Gogh Starry night panting

This morning the Year 6 did Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Starry night’ painting. I used a big brush to create the windy night sky effect. We all did a part of the painting so that when we had all finished we could glue them all together on a big piece of paper. We learnt  all about Vincent van Gogh and how he cut off his earlobe and gave it to a woman.  I enjoyed learning about Vincent van Gogh and learning how to do his skills. We described our learning using SOLO and my thinking is Multistructural because I can describe several things about Van Gogh’s painting skills. My next step is to describe several things about Van Gogh paintings, explain why I used this skill and how his painting skills impacted on our world.

MATHS

In the last couple of weeks me and my friends Evie and Ariana did a math puzzle and completed it we all worked together really well we all found it really challenging so it felt really good when we had finished. Thank you for looking at my post.

Finally after a couple minutes we got see are tiny cabins right next the woods.

Know Mr m announced ‘we will be going tree climbing and the other will be going on a walk’. ‘The parents for tree climbing are Leanne and Sarah’ Mr m yelled let's go I said to my come on to mum Finally we were got there we had to wear helmets and other climbing gear I really enjoyed the first tree but it was a bit easy for me after hour had passed we went the kitchen and talked about our day and wrote in our journals and colored them in then we went to unpack.

The next day we went on a walk to a waterfall we even drunk the river water it was yum we got pictures of us standing by the waterfall I slipped and fell on my butt it was so funny when we got back we played the paint and I got hit in the stomach but I kept playing after that we had the gross food and went to bed me and Ariana stayed up to 2:00 in the morning it was so fun I was so tired.

when camp was over I was so happy to get back to my own bed I really enjoyed camp and my favorite thing was the hot pools I thought it was a good that I went and I would go again would hope for next time better food.

The not so fun day

The not so fun day

One day I was walking along the footpath then all of a sudden the ground started to crack. I tried to run away but a branch grabbed my ankle and pulled me down then everything went black.

I woke up on a dirty old rock covered in moss. I immediately hopped off and brushed my dress and yelled out a scream. I heard little foot steps coming towards me. Then I looked down to see a little girl who was crying. "Hi" the little girl mumbled as a tear drop ran down her face. "Can you help me I'm lost?" I had no reply.

Then she said "can you please answer me". "Sorry I said". I did not mean to day dream. Okay how did you get here? I said. She said that she got grabbed and got pulled by a vine and got thrown in a hole it was scary. What about you? she said same I said. Come on let's go try and find a why out of this place I yelled as I ran to a gate as she followed along with me. Come on I yelled open as the little girl sat on the ground. So can we play hid and seek the little girl yelled. No I replied in angery voice. "why the little girl replied"?"because you said you needed help not playing hide and seek"! Sorry she said in a sad vioce."I do not even know your name I yelled"! Lucy she mumbled."I am Oliva I said nice to meet you come on lets go Lucy now".

"Finally"I said "where home not on anther plant". Lucy craked up laughing. "So where your house"? "right over there she". pointed to a lovley green house whith big windose. "okay bye" I yelled as I walked to my house "what a day I can not wait to tomorrow".

Point Of View/ Writing

Last week our writing task was to write a short essay about R.J Palacio book ‘Wonder’. We had to  explain what point of view ‘Wonder’ was in use quotes and paragraphs from the book we also had to write a conclusion. I really enjoyed the book ‘Wonder’ and I can not wait to finish it. Please leave a comment and read more of my post.

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

I know it's in first person because August said “My name is August I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking it's probably worse.”  

Also August said,

“I hung out with Jack in homeroom, English, history,music, and science, which were all the classes we had together.”

August thought the story was funny when the nurse farted. He said,

“I like when mom tells this story because it makes me laugh so much.”

Therefor I think that R.J Palacio wrote it in the first person in the novel ‘Wonder.
