Oracle Book

By Anonymous -
Welcome back in school my group an I are reading a book called Oracle it is a great book.
  • Why did you choose this book?
I chose this book because it captured my interest in how the characters act and what they do in the description
  • Summarise what you have read so far?
There is a boy called Nikko and he saves his baby sister Thetis form his dad because his dad did not want Thetis so he was going to feed her to the wolfs. When they were older they went to visit an old hag at that point Thetis could not speak so the hag healed Thetis and she could speak but she could only speak the truth. As the years passed by one of the workers Orkestres of the high king was sent to get the children for the children were amazing at acrobatics and the king wanted them for amusement.
  • Has the book started off how you thought? Why/why not?
This book has started off how I thought it would because by the description and cover it gave great detail. I could tell where the book was heading.
  • Describe the literacy circle method of reading that we are using this term.
This term in our groups we get assigned roles eg: Discussion director, Connector, Illustrator, Word master, Summariser, and passage picker. We do the work for each role that you have and share back as we share back we write our discussion on a Google slide.
  • How have you found this so far?
This is a great way to read and interact with your classmates because you are not just showing your work and getting it checked off you are discussing how you got the answer and why.
  • What are you looking forward to the most in reading this term? Why?
I am looking forward to participating in all the different roles there are and sharing/discussing what we got.
Have you ever read this book?

    Great that you are enjoying literacy circles this term Alexis and enjoying learning from others in your homebase. The novel that Preston mentioned, The Giver, is also a great novel to read. Remember that when you make a word ending in f a plural you remove the f and add ves e.g. wolf becomes wolves.

This week we got to draw a piece of paper out of a box and that would have a random country on it. With that country you had to do some research about it and write some instructions on a skill or game from that country. Next week we will be picking a type of food and making it then bringing it to school so there will be a whole assortment of food for everyone to try from all over the world but I will only be sharing my instructions maybe next week will be about the food. :) Here is my instructions on how to play Hul Gul: How to play Dutch Hul Gul Materials: *Buttons or any large quantity of small objects. *People to play with ( Any amount of people except by yourself) Gather buttons Give each player 10 buttons Each player places any amount of buttons up to 10 in their hand. Player 1 then holds out their hand face down with the buttons in hand so the other player(s) can’t see. Player 1 now asks another player (Player 2) how many buttons do I have in my hand.

Cross Country

By Anonymous -
Last week on Thursday my school had cross country. In my age group the year 8s had to run 3km and I came 5th which means I will be going to zones. At 9:00 am the whole school walked down to Walter park to start running, first was the year 8 boys and we finished with the year 6 girls. Everyone ran really well and tried their best I had a lot of fun running and cheering people on. After everyone was super tired and exhausted. Have you ever done cross country if you have how did you do?

For the last few weeks every Thursday we have been rotating between 4 sports in our home base's: Cricket, Lawn Bowls, Softball and Korfball. Korfball is a new sport to most of us in class and it is a bit like netball but with a few different rules during game. In Korfball instead the hoops were plastic and taller than the usual hoops. My home base has done all of them except Lawn Bowls and in our next rotation we will be doing that. Have you ever played Korfball before?
