This week our new theme is Exploring the Ocean. I was really excited about this topic, as there are so many things to learn about. The ocean is massive and we haven't even discovered all of it. This is an activity that I completed recently. We had to write about something happening to our oceans. I wrote about the topic "Our Ocean are Dying". This topic really interested me as I could talk about a wide range of problems. It's so sad what's happening far beneath the surface and I'm glad I could learn more. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

A Piece of My Writing
Today before we started with our literacy work, we did some writing. We could write about anything and could find pictures to help us write. I started a story and hope to keep going with it. I hope that you can take the time to read through it.
Here is my story:
The sky was dark, black clouds raced around. A storm was coming fast. There was no sign of the three missing kids. Rescue teams had been searching the forest for two days and everyone was losing hope.
The children had gone camping with their parents. The parents were shocked when they woke up to find that their three beloved children were nowhere to be seen. Then twenty-four hours later rescue teams were scanning the area.
Its just a small piece that I want to continue with. I think that I did really well, but maybe could have made some of my sentences longer. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog.

Strange and Wonderful animals
This week in literacy the theme was Strange and Wonderful animals. One of the activities was that we had to fill in an attribute organiser about strange animals. We had to find out where they were from, what their habitat was like and some facts on them. I learnt many new facts about different animals. The activity was really interesting. I learnt about some animals that I didn't even know existed.
I think that I did a good job finding facts on these strange animals, but could have been more specific on their habitats. Thank you for taking the time to read through my blog post. I hope you can learn something new from me.

Teamwork Tips
This week we have been looking into The America's Cup. One of the activities was that we had to make a poster on teamwork. This included what teamwork is all about, listening to each other and supporting each other. The activity really made me think what good teamwork is all about. I am happy with how the poster came out, but I think I could have placed the pictures better.
