The Great Victoria Desert



I am learning to make a slideshow on my "Desert Habitat's" Activity
I am so proud of being able to make this presentation because it helps with my learning on deserts in the world.
I found the research tricky because it was hard to find all of the information and put it in to our own words.
I found it better working with Jackson because he could help me if I made a mistake.
My next steps are to make a presentation but more interesting and get more facts.

Peace One Day Senses Poem


I am learning to write a poem about Peace One Day using my senses.
I am so proud of being able to use good adjectives to describe what I am writing about in my poem.
It can be tricky to find descriptive and interesting words to use in my sentences.
The thesaurus can help me by giving me interesting words to use.
The next step for me in my learning is to write a more interesting poem.

Anzac Landing Recount

 The Smell of Fear
It’s 2:45 am on the 25th April 1915.

Right now I’m shaking like an endless earthquake. I was petrified because I felt like I was going to die slowly.  I watched other soldiers die all around me from the deadly bullets flying down on us all.

All of a sudden the moon slowly dipped behind the clouds. It’s pitch black.
All I can see and hear is the sound of the waves and soldiers nervously whispering. I’m excited.

Suddenly I heard a massive BANG! One of our soldiers shot his own gun.  We were now exposed to the Turks.

From there on I knew I was about to die.

I am learning to write an interesting recount.
I am so proud of making my recount interesting by using similes and adjectives.
It can be tricky to the right adjectives for the right sentence.
The thesaurus can help me by giving me better words.
The next step for me in my learning is to find an interesting topic for me to write about.
