My learning

Walt: Identify what kind of triangle this its

I had to answer 20 questions, and at the end I got them all right! The strategy I used was to see if the sides on the triangle are the same, that its called Equilateral. What I would like to learn next is to measure my triangles properly and see if it measures up to 180 degrees.

If you had a chance to do anything in the world what and why would you do ?
Travel the world. To see other cultures and try different foods.

What is your opinion on sports camp?
It’s sounds fun, and you get to stay with your friends for a week. Last but not least you don’t have to get in trouble from your parents or clean up the house.

Tell me what you would prefer chocolate or ice cream, why?
Ice cream, because its  yummier and it has more flavours than chocolate.

All About Me in 2013


All About Me in 2013
This year in 2013 I am going to learn everything in maths even if it means to learn my times tables, take homework home and stay inside the class during lunchtime. I want to achieve a lot this year for maths.

I hope to learn how to control my anger on the playground and inside  the class. In the meantime I’m going to focus on my goal.

What I think is going to exciting this year is sports. We have a lot happening for us this year, for example Sports Camp. That is going to be very exciting. The sport I am looking forward to mostly is swimming because I love swimming very much.

I don’t really expect many challenges this year because I’m just going to focus on my goal.


The thing I am mostly looking forward to this year is sports camp, all of the inter school’s sporting events and end of the year concert. Most of all I am looking forward to seeing a 3A or  4B on my maths results.

Socialising with Room 6 at St Pius X School

Dear room 6
Thanks for the fabulous experience. I learnt how to interact with people I have never met before. You guys are very lucky to have a teacher like Mrs Moodley. I could immediately see that she taught you guys the basic virtues.


Playing the ukulele was really interesting. I didn’t really know how to play the ukulele that much but now I know how to play G7, C7 and C. Mrs Carter use to be my music teacher at my old school.


It was a pity that we had to leave but all good things must come to an end. Hopefully we get to do it sometime again.


Yours sincerely Crystal King from Glen Innes School

Netbook Reflection 2012

Our school days are not like they use to be. Netbook? When that word comes to mind I think about learn, create and share.


For example we had to make a movie about our experience making an eBook. First we had to gather information about animals, create a eBook then share with our buddies in the junior classes.

We also share on our blogs. I once visited my friends blog and when I looked at her visitors map, there were so many red dots I couldn't see the map. She has been blogging for about three years. I can't wait till my visitor map looks like hers.

What I am looking forward to next year is that we learn to use our netbooks in more interesting ways.

Leap of Faith

Walt: write a story in sequence
Leap of Faith

It felt like my life was at stake because it was like I was on top of the world for some reason. As I stood upon the earth the glitz of the oceans wow factored me, especially because it was dawn. The sight was amazing even though the earth was as still as a rock.


Mission control babbled to me for a very long time. “Are you ready to jump?”. My heart sank, because anything could happen. “No sorry not ready yet, I‘m very frightened”. “Don't worry
everything will be okay” said the Mission controller. I thought about my husband and kids and what they would be doing right now and what they looked like.

“Are you ready now?” 
“Yes of course I am. I am a daredevil.” JUMP! Then I finally jumped, it was very breathtaking. It felt like I was a flying eagle free from everyone. Nearly to the ground, I pulled my parachute but it did not open I panicked I screamed “help me I’m going to die, help!”

The fire brigade came with a huge trampoline for me to land on. My legs and arms felt like spaghetti. The trampoline was right there in my face I bounced, bounced like a kangaroo. Woohoo! A safe landing. I danced my way off the trampoline, ran to my husband and kids and hugged them. Earth sweet Earth.
The message of this story is that if you believe in yourself anything can happen.
