Sparkly update

 

Hello!  Today is sparkle day! Sparkle day is about being kind and putting a sparkle in someone's day.  This is a link to room 5's favourite song(well not everyone likes it but I do :D) Video

We have also been doing new prayers.  It's mainly about colouring while listening to God.  I really enjoy doing the new prayers and I can't wait to do it next year.

Winter sports was good we tied with Thorington Golden.  It was a really good game and I enjoyed it.  I can't wait to see who we play against next week.

Production is coming up soon to and the sign up sheets were out on Tuesday.  I chose to do a main role for the production.  I don't know what happens now but I'm really excited to audition for the production.

I have Saturday netball on tomorrow as well.  I really hope that I'm a defence player because that's my favourite position.

In R.E. we have been learning about the holy spirit and the different symbols of the holy spirit.  This is my R.E. slideshow ------->

Thank you very much for reading my blog see you next week. Isla

Weekly update

Friday 14 June

Sorry for the long wait.  I haven't been posting lately because of chapter chat.  This week has been pretty so so but it was kind of fun.

This week I have enjoyed financial literacy.  Financial literacy is something we're doing for inquiry right now.  So we pick groups (I'm with Simon and Isaac) and we decided that we are going to make smoothies candles and bath bombs.

One thing I need to work on is my narratives.  I really enjoy writing narratives but I'm finding this quite hard.  I like to write random stories about crazy things but I'm finding it difficult because now I have to think about what's going to happen.

An interesting thing I've learnt is 7 aside netball.  On Thursday my team had a bye for winter sports.  We weren't the only team with a bye though, one of the year 7 netball teams had a bye as well.  So my team got random positions and we learnt how to play 7 aside netball.  I was goal defence.  I really like goal defence because it is the exact same as normal defence.  I really hope that I'm goal defence next year for winter sport and Saturday netball.

I also really liked the visit from Middleton Grange.  I saw the orchestra and the jazz band.  It was really loud but really cool and I really enjoyed it.  The orchestra was good but the jazz band was my favourite by far.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Friday 24 May

Hello, this week has been very interesting.  I've had a lot to do but it was so much fun.  I did quite a bit (In my opinion) and I'm happy to do my blog today (for once) because I have so much to say (write).

Winter sport

On Thursday we had winter sports.  For winter sports I play netball.  I'm in the O.L.A bell birds.  We played against Selwyn school.  They won 15-6 but we still enjoyed the game.  Some of the people in the netball team weren't very nice but other than that it was so much fun.  I can't wait for next week and I hope we can get all the goals.

Mary slideshow

The last two weeks we have been learning about Mary and the major events in Mary's life.  I was in a pair with Xander.  I really enjoyed working with him.  This is my Mary slideshow that I have been working on.

Chapter chat

This week we have also been doing chapter chat on a book called fish in a tree.  Chapter chat is when you read a book chosen by the creator of chapter chat (this term it's fish in a tree) and you have to read a certain amount of chapters each week.  Then you have activities to do.  Then on Friday (Today) you get questions that you answer on twitter.  You can also post your work on twitter.

Inquiry

For Inquiry my group did flyers.  It took us a long time but it was worth it.  We still haven't handed them out but we were going to do that on the day of the teacher strike (Wednesday).  I'm still annoyed at myself that I didn't fix part of it but it's okay.  It took my group awhile to write on by Batten team O.L.A because we forgot to but other than that it was pretty easy.

Thank you for reading.

Friday 17 May

Good morning.  This week has been very exciting! On Monday we had chapter chat and a values assembly.  Our values assembly was about anti-bullying and also about responsibility and how we should be responsible for our actions.  On Tuesday my friend Simon and I stayed in at morning tea and learnt how to make a brochure using Google docs, but other than that it was pretty normal.  On Wednesday it was a pretty average day as well.  There was no lit club on but I did ride a unicycle at Hoon Hay Primary School for the first time. On Thursday we had winter sports.  For winter sports I played netball.  It was the O.L.A Bell birds versus Sacred Heart.  My team won 12 to 6.  Today it's Pink Shirt day.  I wore my pink nike shirt.  Pink shirt day is all about anti-bullying.  All over the world people are wear pink shirts.  Today is also the last day of doing our eel action plan.  I really hope that we can print and hand out all the flyers.

Thank you for reading.

End of term review

Friday 12 April  (LAST DAY OF TERM!)

It's finally the end of the term!  I have been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for this day.  Here is a list of the things I really enjoyed, didn't enjoy and thought was pretty interesting for this term. 

What I enjoyed 😃

I enjoyed learning about South Sudan and I had lots of fun doing the Caritas challenge day

I enjoyed science in a van and meeting Steve the chicken

I enjoyed korfball and running around catching and throwing the ball 

I really enjoyed going to the Heathcote river and touching the eels and right now I'm super excited about my action that I'm doing to help save the eels

I enjoyed doing spheros yesterday and coding and drawing

I also liked cycle safety and going on the road

My low light 😞

Something I didn't enjoy was having Blake's farewell shared lunch but I hope he enjoys his other school

This is Blake's farewell slide

Something else I didn't enjoy was staying in assembly until 6pm.

I didn't enjoy swimming sports because I'm bad at swimming.

Thing I'm excited for next term

I'm excited to do my action next term 

I'm excited for winter sports

See you next term!😃

Holy week

This week I have been learning about Holy Week and Jesus suffering for us. 

I learnt that the last Sunday of lent is called Passion Sunday.  It used to be called Palm Sunday now it is called Passion Sunday because it is the beginning of Passion Week.

This is my learning from this week.





This is my learning for this week.  Goodbye.

I made my house out of cardboard

Friday 5 April

Caritas Challenge

Hello weekly post time.  Yesterday we did the Caritas challenge.  So me, Simon, Rose, Elish, Julia, Hannah and Lexie built a house out of cardboard ( and duck tape and a tarpaulin).  It didn't take us too long we just had to find an area, put down the floor, cut the cardboard, tape it together and put the tarp over it.  I taped some cardboard to the edge of the house and then we had a long thin piece of cardboard holding up the tarp.  It was BOILING in there.  Then at lunch we had plain rice.  No meat, no veges, just rice.  We weren't allowed to use spoons or forks, we had to use our hands.  I had so much fun yesterday  but the highlight for me had to be eating rice with my hands mainly because I'm not allowed to do it at home.  An interesting part for me had to be building the fort while thinking but how the people in South Sudan do it.  I struggled to even build a small fort that had to hold 7 people (I got very frustrated with one of our walls).  But the people in South Sudan must get so annoyed with their houses.  Think about how they have to get the materials they have to build it ,then wait for it to dry.  If I could go over to South Sudan and help I would help with the food.  Plain rice would be okay but having it over and over again would make me sick.  Thanks for reading.
