Bucklands Beach




Room 14 went to Bucklands Beach to clean up the mess there. In this photo we are pretending to be like fish by getting stuck in a net and trying to get out of the net without using our hands. It was great fun.

Features of a non-fiction text

                                              Features of a non- fiction text

1. What is a contents? A contents is a place in a book where you find a chapter or a page number.

2. What is a index? A index is a place at the end of the book where you can find some words.

3.What is a glossary? A glossary is a place where you can find a word that you don't understand and it tells you what it means.

4.What is a diagram? A diagram is the picture with labels in a non-fiction book.

5.Why is there more photographs than pictures? There is more photographs in non-fiction books because non-fiction books are real.

6.What is a map? A map is something that shows you where animals are.

My reflection:I was learning about features of a non-fiction text. It was tricky to explain what a diagram is. I am proud that I finally knew how explain what a diagram was. Next I will look for these features in a different non-fiction text.

What's a pencil?

                                        
                                     What's a pencil?

A pencil's lead is black. 
A pencil is made of wood. 
It has different coloured paint on it. 
When you sharpen a pencil it gets smaller. 
You can write with a pencil and draw with a pencil. 
The paint feels smooth and the wood feels hard.
The pencil sharpenings go to the compost.

My Reflection
I am learning how to write an explanation. It was tricky to think of good words to explan what a pencil is. I am proud that my work is done. Next time I will do another one about something different.
