I found it tricky to find a good fact

David Walliams Fact File

For reading we are learning to identify the main idea. We had to research David Walliams and make a fact file.

I found it easy to find the quotes.

I found it tricky to find out who his children's names are because it wouldn't pop up when I searched it.

My faith poster

 

Today we had a pick to do a drawing on our chromebook. Or on a piece of paper i chose a piece of paper because i'm a  good drawer and i love to draw some stuff 

I found it tricky to do school clothes and also a person  helping a grandpa with his bags of food lots of food 

I found it easy to draw a tree with the leaves

Reports

Me and my buddy Willow had to put the cut piece of paper in order. We'll try put  them in order we had some right not that much we'll we were close        

I found it tricky to glue and then stick them on the paper with stick hands.

I found it easy to remember some of them and were the had to go.

Patten Ball P.E.

We are learning to communicate and work as a team.

How we worked out the pattern: I started with the pink ball we needed to chest pass. Mya started with the blue ball we needed to bounce pass. Kylah started with the rugby ball we needed to rugby pass.

To communicate we had to call names and use eye contact.

I found it easy to throw the balls and communicate.

I found it tricky to catch the rugby ball.

The video is too big to put on our blog so use this link!
