Gardening

Today we went and worked inside our school garden, where every class has their own part of soil to work on, growing vegetables and fruits, to munch on them at the end of the year.

Rotating Shapes

Today we learnt rotation with Mr Ramkolowan. Since rotation means to turn, he helped us learn which arm was  left and right, then he turned the activity into a fun game. We also played another game, but different to the one we did before. Instead of  arms we used degrees. If he said, "90 degrees left." His commands would come true. After that, he shared us a worksheet and said, "Once you've completed what I have put in the document, you must make four more. " We had a wonderful time learning about rotation, I hope you enjoyed reading what I have written.

language features in this text?

Fellow students, have you ever felt
afraid to walk around the school by yourself?   
In a recent survey carried out by the school council,
70 percent of us have been bullied at some time in our life at school.

The bullies are vicious, violent and vindictive .
Unfortunately, they are getting away with it.
Can this be fair?

We, the victims, are afraid of wearing the wrong trainers.
We are afraid of being too smart or too stupid.
We are afraid  of anything that might draw attention to ourselves.
The time has come for the fear to stop.

The bullies terrify other students, and yet they are cowards   themselves.
If we pull together we can fight this fear. Join me and fight this fear 8 today.

Jasmine's Blog Profile

My name is Jasmine, and I attend Glen Innes School. I am ten years old, and I have three brothers and sisters. My favourite subject in school is reading, because I am at the highest level in my class. I admire my oldest sister because, we have a full house with ten people living with us, and she pays the rent, bill and lunch all on time, without missing any of our concerts at school. My favourite sports are touch and netball, because they both include teamwork with a good attitude.
