During book week, the Year 5’s were given the task of making a comic, with the character that they came dressed up as for dress-up day as the main character. We had 1 week to complete it, and it only had to be simple, for example, I came dressed as Anne of Green Gables, and my storyline was this: Anne is imagining a house. Suddenly she is standing in front of the house! Anne leant like it there, so she imagined Green Gables. She is back at Green Gables safe and sound. The End. As the theme for book week this year was ‘reading is my secret power’, the comic we wrote also had to feature the secret power of our character. In my comic, as Anne loves imagining things, imagination becomes her secret power. Check out our podcast, Year 5 Weekly, that you can find somewhere on this site. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to read this, and if you would like to comment, please remember to be respectful.

Today we learnt the correct order of adjectives. So in the task that we were given we had to learn the correct order of adjectives and put a few into sentences. The sheet we were given had seven different places to put our adjectives in. We had to fill in the proper adjectives into the right category. For the second task, we had to remake the sentences so that the adjectives would fit in. For the third task, we had to make a video of what we learnt so that we could teach other people. We uploaded the videos onto Vimeo so that we could upload it to Edublogs.

This week in writer’s workshop, we are learning about six words stories. A six sentence story is where there are six words in a sentence. This story can be sad or happy, depending on what you want to write about. When we started of writing the story, some of us had seven words or 5 words, so we fixed it up by adding words or taking away words. Then we put a background image that fitted the story and printed in out to hang up in the classroom so people could read what we had written.
