Hi 5C,
I trust that you will all have a great week, and that I will come back from camp on Friday with lots of
positive comments about you all waiting for me! It means a lot to me that I can go away on camp
and trust you to be the wonderful, intelligent class I know you are.
Here is of list of tasks you can do if you are told to ‘finish off’ or are split for the day.
If you aren’t sure what I mean by something, ask someone from our grade, ask Mrs Kane or Ms
Hunichen. If you need a sheet again, you can also ask them if they have a spare you could use.

Blog Posts:
-Paris/London reflection on the Amazing Race posted as a sibling page to you Amazing Race
Page on your blog.
-My Dream writing. Make sure you have used interesting language and leave no questions for
your reader. Make sure you give a history of your dream, who/what inspires you and what you
are doing to achieve your dream.
-Nick Vujicic reflection. I don’t know if you technically started a reflection on viewing the ‘Are
You Strong’ video and the reading you did about Nick. However, I would really love to read
about how his video impacted on you. How is Nick similar or different to the other inspirational
people we have looked at this term? What similarities and differences are there between Nick
and Auggie?
-Crop Circle Analysis. While I was away sick, I believe you all should have finished your crop
circles. Mrs. Kane has given you an analysis sheet to help you describe and analyse your crop
circle. Post this as a sibling page on your maths page. Make sure you include some images of
your crop circle and some links to other information.
-Ten Tallest Buildings Analysis. This is something that we started together a few weeks back.
Like any of our analysis pieces, you will need to introduce and describe the task, talk through the
process of researching, collecting data, making the graphs and then analysing them. For this one,
include some hidden learning too- like how to make the pie graph or pictograph! Post as a sibling
page to your maths page.
-Car colours analysis. We started on Friday, you all have criteria in your writing books. The
whiteboard image is in the grade 5 to collect folder.
-Tagging your posts. At the beginning of the blogging journey, we spoke about tagging posts.
You can do this with a quick edit button on your posts. Have a look around, I’m sure you will find
the ‘add tag’ button on your posts. I think Mrs. Kane was going to go through this with you, but
Ms Hunichen also knows how, so you could ask her. You can also add a tag cloud widget to your
blog as well.
-Wonder Book Review. We haven’t started this, but I know there are some of you who would
love to write a book review and share your opinion of the novel. Look back at our Boy Overboard
book review to remind you of what to include. There’s a green poster on our English wall with
ideas too. Read up on the Wonder website.
-Continue blog audit. There are still lots of you with outstanding blog items. Work your way
through as many of these as you can.

Maths:
-There are lots of maths games linked onto our class blog and those of other classes. I know Miss
Hunichen’s grade have looked for maths games and have linked to their class blog. If you are
going to play maths games, stick to ones about fractions, decimals and percentages. Math
playground is great for these games.
-We have learnt lots of different maths games so far this year, including the make a metre game,
number ladder games, make the biggest number card game etc. etc.
-You can play any of the Tux maths games on the education bar on your desktop screen (under
the orange maths tab).
-I believe Mrs Kane is going to start a survey project with you all, that will have elements of
fractions, decimals and percentages in it, so you can work on this if you don’t finish. Post it on
your blog as a sibling page under your maths page.
If after all of this, you are still scratching your head for something to do, use your INITIATIVE.
Get spelling or maths games from our classroom, tidy up your locker, including your folders! Do
some rocket writing, do some reading. Investigate some of the other Free Reading Friday
webpages on our blog and other student blogs. Leave some blog comments- Chloe and Daniel
have posted recently! Tidy our classroom library. Make a second crop circle. Find some
persistence quotes to add under our purple persistence posters.
Have a great week! I know I can trust you all!
