End of days at Elm Park School

Wow, the time is approaching when Jared is leaving Elm Park School after 6 years. Will be strange not to be coming here any more but exciting times are ahead at Farm Cove Intermediate - new friends to make, new subjects to explore, new teachers and a new uniform.

Jared has enjoyed his time at Elm Park, playing on the playground and field at lunchtimes. Swimming in the pool. The teachers have all been really supportive and have challenged him to try to new things and to experience new things.

Highlights this year?? I'd say the camp, swimming day at Lloyd Elsmore Pools with the floating obstacle course and the dinner/disco the other week a raving success. We heard all about it at home.

Well done Jared, a big senior off to intermediate school now. Thanks to the teachers, especially Mrs Graham.

Improper and Mixed Fractions

I've been learning how to change fractions.  Mrs Graham put questions on the board and I had to copy them and work out the answers.  I did good because I got some of them right.  For these questions I have to work out how many wholes and what's left over.  It was easy because we learnt by cutting up circles and seeing what it looks like.

My Explanation

The rubbish gets dropped on the ground.  Rain gets it in the drain and goes to the sea.  Fish eat the rubbish and marine animals get sick and die.  The rubbish gets jammed in the fish or marine animals.  It is bad for people to think it’s okay.

I was learning about writing explanations. When you write an explanation, you say how this happens and then that happens. Sometimes it's hard to come up with the ideas.

I did an explanation as a picture. It was about bio-accumulation. Sometimes it's easier to draw a picture to explain what I'm thinking instead of writing words.

My Balanced Argument

I was learning how to write a balanced argument.  It was easier using the writing frame.  The class helped to come up with the ideas.  I feel good about what I have written.

Kenning Poem

This poem is called a Kenning Poem.  It is a poem about me.  It was easy.  I had to think about what I like and then I had to think about what I do with those things.

Kensuke's Kingdom Map

This a map of where Michael went when he was going around the world with his Mum and Dad.  They were on a boat.  When we were reading the book, we had to listen for the places he had been.  We made a map together and then we did our own.

Making Graphs

I was working with James.  We had to do a question and people in our class answered it.  Some peoiple said yes and some people said no.  We had to count how many.  We got to make a graph to show what we found.

How Jess has changed

We are reading Bridge to Terabithia.  This is a time line for Jesse.          

  

At the start he is scared and shy because people are mean to him.    In Chapter 4 he is braver because Leslie helped him.  In Chapter 8 he is coming out of his shell.  It mean he is doing more stuff.  At the end, Jesse has become happier and more confident.

This was hard to think about Jesse in the story.  The hardest part was trying to remember all of the parts of the story.

comparing characters

We were reading Bridge to Terabithia and we were learning about characters.  we had to find the differences and the same things.  There were lots of things that were different.  It was hard to remember all the bits of the story.

adding big numbers

For the math it was hard adding.  Mrs Graham told us to do this really hard one.  I put the numbers that were the same together like 30 000 and 30 000.  I put 100 and 900 together and I put 5000 and 6000 together.  I felt proud because I knew what to do.
