Waltzing Matilda

We were unpacking the literary devices and language in Banjo Paterson's very famous poem Waltzing Matilda and we also were finding out different words like jumbuck witch is a sheep and other things like Waltzing, Matilda, Tucker bag, swagman and billabong those were all the words that were used in the poem Waltzing Matilda. The poem was quite a cool poem because it also tells a story about the struggle of living when you have no money in the 1880's.

Today Miss Heka Wasn't here so we had Miss Alice and for two hours we done paper work with crosswords and and word searches which was fun and interesting. 

Gymnastics

For gymnastics this week we practiced doing the activities with 3 rotations. This week the rotations included different activities to build up our techniques. At one of the rotations I found doing the dive roll easy because I was so confident at doing the dive roll after the jump. When we back to gymnastics next week I am going to work hard be confident at taking risks in gymnastics because that way I will start building up my techniques.

Literary Devices

Mrs Anderson challenged us to make a DLO on our google docs without opening another tab to find images that are the same these words on my DLO. It was hard but i got i done as fast as i could

Stardome trip

Yesterday night, Learning Space 2 were given the opportunity to visit Stardome where we could learn about stars, planets, and constellations. We went in a bus, and when we arrived we got to look around the building. First we entered the dome where we met our show presenter Tobias. While in the dome, we got a proper look at how constellations work, and we got to learn about the different opinions on what the constellations make up. We got to see close up what Jupiter and Saturn really look like, and we found out that sometimes the rings of Saturn seem to have disappeared, although it is only the angle of which the rings are facing us. Some facts that we learnt were that Jupiter has 67 known moons, that the rings of Saturn are actually tiny ice moons and dust, and that the stripes on Jupiter are actually storms that are spinning at a rate of 100km per hour. I along with my class had a lot of fun at Stardome, and we are very thankful for the opportunity.
