Today we did our weekly times tables, when I did it I finished the whole sheet in 3 minutes. All correct.
We need to know how to do times times because other wise we might see an addition like 3+3+3+3= And if you know your 3 times tables you will know that 3+3+3+3= is the same as 3×4. By the way it equals 12.
Do you have a time table your trying to learn?
Finally the light flickered on. Soraya and I high-fived each other. We had finally created a person, (or a monster) alive!! Mwah ha haaaaaaaa!! Just Joking, we had just made a light go on. But it was really fun. We put different materials in these clips, like copper, rubber, even a popsicle stick, to see witch on took the electricity out of the battery and transferred it to the light, causing it to flicker on. Well it’s not as exciting as a monster coming alive! But we did go to the senior school lab to do all the experiments.
My only complaint is that there were too many stairs to get up there!
Have you ever tried getting a light to go using materials in your house?
Today in literacy we did the rotation cause & effect. We chose a picture and showed the cause & effect of.
My my one was about a man falling down stairs. Here is what I did for the cause and effect.
What are some other ideas that also could happen to the man?
We walk through the door, immediately the sounds of a lullaby fills my ears. Little babies sleeping in warm cots. I feel like falling asleep myself. We all walk outside to read our stories to the little kids. Straight away I sat down and started to read to the kids.
They’re soooooo cute!! 
“Can we lick the spoon now?” I say “no, not yet.”
I can remember the whole story off by heart! I had to read over 5 times to the same kids. I got paired up with a boy, whenever I asked what his name was all he said ROARRRRRR!! It When we had to go, he grabbed my hand and said don’t go! It was so cute. And since we read a book about chocolate cake, he made me promise to make sure his mummy made a chocolate cake for him.
Have you ever read a book to young kids? What book was it? Did you enjoy it?
Today hands on science came to school! Well our school. We did all of these cool experiments testing different materials for flammability, insulation, moisture absorption and strength. In other words we were testing the properties of different materials.
My favourite experiment is written below:
Aim: to see which type of paper is strongest.
Materials (all types of paper)
Materials (not paper)
Method:
Which type of paper do you hypothesise will be the strongest?

My path way:
Your friend is screaming at the front door. You answer. It’s Sally, your best friend.
“You chose me! ME!” she screams in your ear.
“Yes! Okay! Just keep it down, I haven’t told mum and dad about it yet,” you say. “Do you think that I should tell them or not?”
“WHAT! No! No! No! Do not tell them. They will kill you! So, whatever you do, DO NOT TELL THEM! You’ll get in massive trouble!” She shouts
“But then again, if I don’t they’ll also kill me! So ether way I will be dead! I’ll be dead TWISE!”
“Think about it. They’re your parents, they won’t kill you. Or maybe they will, who knows!!”
“Not helping sally!”
“I wasn’t trying to help ether way!” She replies.
My path ways are:
1- To tell your parents, go to page 47.
2-Don’t tell your parents, go to page 24
A flurry of colours flooded into my eyes, all over the class room there was just colours. Pink, blue, brown, red, all of them! I almost thought I was a captain on a ship, a ship in the middle of a ocean full of colours! Pretend chains dragged behind people, people dragging along pretend chains! Ragged hair, black and brown smudges on everyone’s faces, all in the middle of the ocean!?
I’ll tell you what was going on…
It was Convict Day, where all the children in year 4 dress-up as a convict! You see, this term we’ve been learning about the first fleet, we also have researched things about one convict. I researched Betty/Elizabeth Mason. Before she became a convict, she was a maid, so, I dressed up as a maid.
If you were stuck in any timeline in any place, where/when would you go? 1980’s,
1740’s,1830’s any time (just not in the future.)
Reading fluently means that: you read nicely and make the reader/listener want to read/listen on. You don’t want your reader/ listener bobbing off to sleep! Another thing to do so you don’t let your reader/listener bobs off,
