Adverbs

Walt: compare and contrast

I have been learning adverbs. I had to choose the correct word to place in the slot to complete the sentence. This was very easy because I got them all correct. I enjoy playing this game. Next time, I want to learn more on grammar.

My lucky day! Not yours.

Today was a lucky day for Room 11 and I. We had some delicious, soft, creamy and day dreaming cake that everyone enjoyed. It had some nice cream in the middle, it had a thin layer of crushed up biscuits on the bottom and it had a thick layer of lemon and icing sugar on top. I wish that I could share, but it was to scrumptious to share. I wish you were here to have some, but there was only enough for me.

Author's Purpose

Walt: explain the author’s purpose.

This game is all about the author’s purpose. I have to read the text and then answer it. The answer was entertain. The reason I chose entertain was because it was a joke and it was funny. Things that make us laugh are entertaining. I made $4,000 and I want to get to $1,000,000. This was really easy and next time, I want to learn more on grammar.

The Two Farmers

I have been learning to read independently. The story I have been reading is "The Two Farmers". I had to read the story and then answer a quiz about it to see if I was reading independently. I got 6 right and 4 wrong. That was an okay score for me but if I got 10 correct then that would be even better. This was easy for me but next time when I do this again, then I will get all correct. Next time I want to learn more on grammar.

Reflections-Basic Facts

Yesterday I did my basic facts test for term 2 and today I got my results back from my teacher for stage 7. My score was 674. I got my square roots, square numbers, division, hcf and > = <  symbols correct. I need to improve on my lcm, decimals fractions percentages and prime numbers. For me to improve, I need to study more on them and practise them on the internet or at home with my sisters for about 20-30 minutes a day. I hope that I get 100% on my next Basic Facts Assessment.

We need mouthguards when playing sports

Walt: Write a persuasive speech.

We need Mouthguards when playing sports.

A mouthguard is a smooth plastic device that is required in sports to protect your mouth, cheeks, tongue and teeth. The Dental Association has found that one third of all dental injuries are sports related. Mouthguards are mandatory in sports such as Rugby, Hockey and Boxing. I think that mouthguards should be worn on the sports that are above.  

Mouth guards help prevent tooth breakage. If your teeth is unprotected and there is no safety guard around your teeth when you’re playing sports, then you could get really injured. Your teeth could crack, break or even fall out. Everyone knows that if you go to the dental clinic, then it will cost hundreds or thousands to get teeth replaced. So prevent that from happening and get a mouth guard because just a small device can protect you from getting damaged.

If you give your child a mouth guard, then that is a good example to show to the other children. If one of your children play sports and they want to wear a mouthguard but no one at his or her school wears one, then buy one and then give it to her or him. So when your child goes back to school and every child that play sports see him or her with it, then everyone will want one. Even if he or she falls on the ground and everyone sees him, he won’t be damaged. Everyone will notice that the mouth guard protected him from any mouth injury. Then everyone will want one. Children tell their friends to buy one if they don’t have one.

No worries about money any more because mouthguards are not that expensive. You would think mouthguards is really expensive to buy, but it isn’t as much as you would think. Mouthguards are only five dollars at any sports store. If your teeth fell out during sports, then that would cost two hundred dollars at the dental clinic. If you buy a mouth guard then you won’t have to pay as much as you do at the dental clinic. A great idea is to include a mouthguard to their school list at the beginning of the year.

Now surely you would agree that mouthguards are needed when playing contact sports. I believe that mouth guards are needed in contact sports. All of my arguments above should change your mind to give your children a mouthguard when playing contact sports or even you.   

Multiples of 3

Walt: Revise multiplication.

I have been learning to revise my multiplication. I had to hit all the cars that were multiples of 3. I have to multiply a number with three to get a number on the car. I got up to level 9. It was very easy because I knew my multiplication from 1 to 12. Next I want to learn more on algebra.
