My Favourite book Chat Book Of 2019!📚🤩

A family and friendship book written by Ruth Behar.

My favourite book chat book this year was Lucky broken girl. It’s  about a girl name Ruth who has to stay in a full body cast for a year after a tragic accident. Through out her bed ridden year year she faces many challenges even losing her only friend. Time to time she constantly has this fear in her head saying that she will never be able to walk again, and every when she gets her body cast off she refuses to try to stand up or even walk. But can someone change the way she thinks?

 

I liked this book because when I would finish a chapter the one after would have a new head line witch would make me want to read more! At the start the book didn’t really make me want to read it but the it got more and more interesting!

What I do on Christmas!

                              Christmas! 🎄

Christmas this most wonderful time of the year! We get to open presents, have a feast and crack open Christmas Bonbons! But sometimes people  forget what Christmas is really about, it’s about family and it’s Jesus’s birthday, Most people think that the best part of Christmas Day is racing down the stairs and there under your Christmas tree is a bundle of presents waiting to be opened, but it isn’t!

As I race down stairs on Christmas morning my eyes catch a glimmer of a half eaten carrot, an empty glass and presents! In my family we celebrate Christmas by getting together both sides of the family and have a big feast! Since my backgrounds Italian we have a pretty big family, but the most exited people in the room on Christmas are definitely my cousins and I.  I love the sight of everyone in the room smiling and full of joy!

My Experience At Toonallok!

Read more to find about my experience at Toonallook!

Just a week ago 5S went on a camp to Toonalook. It was a 4 hour bus trip! You may think that’s long but we stoped just past half way. Before we knew it we arrived, everyone raced off the bus.

After we had our lunch we played a game that the year 11s Otto and  Charlotte  organise for us to play. We were given pictures of the camp site and with that photo we had to look around and try and find the spot, If we were able to find the the place we would mark it out on our sheet. The person that had filled out the most on their sheet won and it definitely wasn’t me.

I was so excited for the next day! The group that I  was in got to go Kayaking first! It was really hard, me and Zac kept going the wrong way to the rest of the group!! But we had so much fun!  Next we got to go bike riding around Ramon island. In total our group sore more than 40 Koala’s!

My favourite part about camp was definitely being able to hold a Jellyfish bigger than my hand! I liked spending time with my class and getting to know them more. The last morning was really special because we got to watch the rise.

Short listed book!

Short listed books!

The whole junior school had to vote and write feedback about the books that were in the short listed. Each year level had different books that they had to judge with whatever they thought had the best information.

A good information book includes realistic pictures with emotion, clear and factual information and sources. If an book doesn’t include clear information it can make it were difficult to read. A factual information book has to have images that are realistic and that are not off the internet.

My favourite book that was short listed was Make Believe. This book incorporates realistic images and optical illusions that makes your brain think. I liked this book because it included really factual information. The images were hand draw and were almost like the were off the internet off mad on the computer!!

Haiku Poetry

In literacy we have been doing Haiku Poetry. This is one that I did.

                                       The Sunset

Bright vivid colours

swaying above resting waves, 

Electric neon

Colours brighten up 

The sky,birds chirping, trees rocking 

Back and forth

The Year 5’s travel to Sovereign Hill

.      Read more to find out about our trip to Sovereign Hill!

 On Monday the 22 of July the year five community travelled to Sovereign Hill for a camp experience. My stomach was filled with butterflies and questions. What would’ve it been like for kids in the late 1850s? What were the streets going to look like? It was a 3 hour bus drive! Our first destination was the Museum. 

We got split up into big group’s. There were 5 groups in total. All the groups got to do the same activity but at different times. Some of the activities included putting certain dates on a time line, getting to draw our own  Eureka flag. We were also given a book with a person that we had to go around the museum and find facts about them, I got Richard Ireland. 

We had to drive about another 10 minutes to get to the camp site. As soon as we got there we finally got to eat!! I was really excited to get to go and have a look around with my friends! Each class had tours around Sovereign Hill. We went thro really mines. I found it really cool when there were special affects on a wall of rocks to tell a story. We even got to see how they melted gold! 

I really enjoyed going to the schools program. It was a great experience to dress up and learn to act like children of the 1850s. We went into some houses and they were nowhere near as big as our houses today! I found fascinating that the girls weren’t allowed to do a lot of things.

I think I used Connectedness and Curiosity  on camp because, I was with my class mates all the time and I feel like your we really bonded. I used Curiosity because I tried new things.I really enjoyed my time at Sovereign Hill and learning facts about the 1850s!

Carey celebrates literature festival!

.      Read more to find out more about the  literature festival!

Yay it’s lunch! Grace, Dillon, Tori, Ester and myself were running one of the activities for the Carey Celebrates Literature Festival. We raced to the Library, we had all of the coloured strips of paper, gemstones and other materials ready on the table. It was really busy there were people crowding everywhere! We decided to run a bookmark making activity. The were also different activities like Guess the number of pages, Spaghetti Maggie, Colouring, Emoji Book summaries, Buy a book, and lots more! My favourite part of the day was seeing lots of people smiling and having fun, I also liked working with my friends. 

The day before we have Mark Wilson cane and talked to the Year 5 about him as an author, he also ran our library session and taught us how to draw. Something that I found interesting is in the Conversation that we had with Mark Wilson apparently he gets paid $250 for every illustration that he does! 

              Did you enjoy the literature festival and why?!

Year 5 Market!

 .             Read more to find out about the Year 5 Market!

Today was the year five market. I rushed out the door but my mum forced me to have breakfast! I was the first one at the hall. Our teachers were setting up the tents and the tables. After a while I went back and everything was setup, I got so excited I wanted to go crazy! There in front of me was a hall fooled with decorations. I saw my group and we began to setup. Finally everything was finished, we had a black table cloth, some ribbons and some balloons. Before we knew it the preps were already at the door waiting to look around the market.

Our stall was next to my friend. She was basically controlling our music. James came to our market. He was a victim of a one punch attack. He now has to eat and drink through a tube. All the money that we raised goes to the foundation. The charity is called The JMB foundation. Our group raised $370.10 and the whole of the year 5 raised $6008.60! When James and his mum were looking around the market I felt a whole lot of sadness inside of me. I the end we sold all of our products. I had a lot of fun selling our products, helping people in need and having fun with  my group and friends.   

What did you buy from the Year 5 Market? And why!
