MY PUPPY PANCAKE !!! - Week 5

In a couple of days I am getting a pit bull from my Uncle Spencer.   
It is going to be 6 weeks old.

It is going to be a brown dog with a bit of blue, we might get two but if we don’t we will get one. I hope he gives us two, but it will be hard to look after two. 
This is what you need to do to look after a puppy:

1. Make sure every morning that they have water and food.

2. Give them a dog wash every Saturday - make sure you have dog wash first.

3. Play tricks  

4. The first thing to do is go to a pet shop about 1 week before you buy them because then you get a lot  of time to get toys and food ready.

~1~ Get a tugging toy

~2~ Get a chewy pig's ear

~3~ Do not forget that you need a buy a  little suit (but make sure it is cute)

ALL ABOUT SUMMARISING - WEEK 4

When we are writing a summary you need to have keywords, you can write a summary about anything.  
Key words can be used in a retell or writing of your own choice.  
A summary is a shortened version of a text that makes the right point. 

Here is an example
"The whale is  a mammal " 
The keywords  are whale and  mammal.     

Here are some fix - up strategies 

• Re-read
• Read ahead
• Find out what the word means
• Stop and think
• Create picture in your mind 
• Ask questions
• Make predictions 
• Make connections

Maths Match Sticks - Week 3

• This week we have been using match sticks for maths. We had to use 50 match sticks to make our name.
• We got four rulers and match them together to make 1m.
• We then made our name, and we took a photo on the 
• i - pad and sent it to Mrs Miller. 
• How about the next time you see your teacher, ask if you can have a go at it, and trust Parkvale School on their ideas as well. My teacher's name is Mrs Miller.
• The learning was to do with measurement, we had to think about the accuracy and the starting and finishing point.  
• We also put numbers to the colours and we had to add up the total value.
