This year has been a huge influence on my learning.  Lets have a look on how this year played out.  We have learnt a range of things including writing, (persuasive letter format, poetry, mystery novels, procedures and informative reports.)  coding, maths, reading, sports and more.  I have achieved a better knowledge of sports when on gala days, I’ve learnt sportsmanship, working as a team and getting better at that sport.  My favourite activity was writing especially when I wrote my Mystery novel.  I’ve enjoyed being in 4M because of all of the new friends I’ve made, the better Understanding I now have and being able to do somthings through genius hour.  this has been a great in 4M and I hope that I will have a great time in year 5.

 

This year I’ve read the weirdo series, one of my favourite was weirdo 7 Mega weird, so I chose to do for this book report.

 

Firstly, as I mentioned before, the books name is weirdo 7 Mega weird. It is the 7^th and the latest book so far.

 

The author and illustrator is named Anh do. He is a comedian, an author and a artist. He is currently in a show called “Anh’s brush with fame.”

 

Characters include weirdo, sally do, Mum, Dad, Granddad, Bella, Henry, FiDo, Blockhead, Roger, Grandma do, Mrs and Mr Mcdool and Hans some.

 

The plot is Weirdo and his family are doing a garage sale for mega bucks so they can get Grandma do back home from Vietnam.   Also, at school there is a talent show at school and the prize is money. Weirdo enters his jokes, but Bella enters her mega funny poem.

 

The setting is around weirdo’s street and at weirdos school.

 

I recommend this book to a group of children ranging from 6 to 12.

 

 

My favourite part of this book was when weirdo and his family find a dinosaur bone in their garage!

 

I give this book a 10 out of 10 star rating

This week for homework, one of our task was to write a reflection on persuasive text.  Here is mine.

Firstly, persuasive writing is used to convince the reader of something, for example I could write a persuasive argument to persuade my parents to go over seas more often.  Depending if I wrote good strong arguments they could agree or disagree.  Persuasive writing is used when we want to persuade or convince the reader of something we won’t them to do say or feel.  You can find people trying to persuade someone all around, whether your asking your Mum and Dad for a pet all the way to pleading someone for a job.  signal words are often used in persuasive writing, some good ones include Firstly, Secondly, thirdly, Finally, in conclusion and to continue that.  The structure is set out with a title, the introduction, three main body paragraphs and the conclusion.  I feel I am quite strong and confident when writing persuasive text because I like trying to convince other people of my opinion.

On Friday the 5th of august our class with the other year fours went to the botanical Gardens at Mt Coot-tha.  I learnt about producers, consumers and decomposers.  Producers are nature that use leaves to absorb sunlight to grow.  Consumers are animals that eat other insects and animals including there own kind, and decomposers are animals or plants that eat dead leaves and other dead stuff.

I enjoyed visiting the Japanese Gardens, we had to be very quiet and respectful as other people were trying to enjoy the peaceful garden.

While I was at the botanical gardens I learnt that, habitat means a certain animal group lives somewhere, consumer means a animal that will eat another animal including its own kind, producer means a plant that absorbs sunlight to grow, and a decomposer means a plant or animals that eats stuff that has died.

Here is a list of habitat’s that I learnt while at the botanical Gardens: The forest habitat, the lagoon habitat, the Australian leaf litter habitat, garden habitat, the rainforest habitat and the dessert habitat
