Laughing Samons

Walt: Watch Laughing Samons

Today is Mr Somerville's birthday. I would like to say happy birthday to him. Here is a presentation about Laughing Samons from Heather.

Advice Column

Walt: Think critically about what we read.


Today our task was to write an advice column. We learnt how to think critically about what we read and write. We had to help a person and his name was James Abel, he needed some advice. He needed some information of which watch he should buy. We had to help him know which watch out of the Garmen Vivo fit 2 and the Fitbit Charge was the best watch to chose. Then we had to look at the reviews so then we know which watch is better then the other watch. We had to have three reasons why James Abel should buy that watch.

Trade Fair

Walt: Add one main idea per paragraph

This term we are learning about Trade and Enterprise. Our learning is about creating and selling a product that we have designed and made. We were broken up to 6 different business groups to learn about what it takes to become a business man or woman.

As part of our terms topic we had a trade fair. A trade fair is different from a Market because a market is when you buy some things, but a trade fair is when you order something first then you will get it later. Me and my partners made a presentation about what design we will be doing and a order form so people can come and order something.

For the trade fair my partners and I have created a business called Music. We were selling a flute, our flute costed 1pt. My business was going very well with our selling. We made a presentation with all of our ideas, so that people knew what we were selling and we could take their orders.
Our teachers have created a currency a new kind of way for money. Another word for saying currency is money. We use Pt’s and Pieces as our money. For example 2pt is like $2.00 and 50 Pices are like 50 cents and 20 pieces are like 20 cents. The only time we put our pieces and pt’s into our account is at lunch time and morning tea. Everyday when we come to school we always get 20 Pieces each day we come.

I’m really excited about our market day coming up in week 8! We are hoping to make lots of PTs and Pieces. I cannot wait for the market and to create our products, before the market comes.

Check out my number

Walt: Understand money as decimal numbers.

In this presentation, we had to pick a decimal number, from 0 to four. I picked 3.9. I showed 3.9 from money. I putted 3 one dollars, and 1 50 cent, and 2 20 cents. We also had to show the number we had picked on the number line. Then we had to show the number in the tread house. It's got a one's column, a tens column, hundredes column, and a tenths column.

Can I afford it?

Walt: Understand money as decimal numbers.

I have been learning about Can I afford it?. The task for today was about we have to spend our money on something then we have to see how much money we spent on that product, how much charge we will get back. Then we had to use the coins on the side to show how much charge we got back.

Properties of 3D shapes

Last week we were learning about what a tetrahedron is and what a 3D shape is. A 3D shape is different from normal shapes, it is because a 3D shape is like your holding something and a 2D shape is really flat. Today we were learning about the properties of a 3 dimensional shape. We had to make a presentaion of 3 dimensional shapes we know. We were looking at a Tetrahedron, Cube and Pyramids. We had to write how many Faces, Vertices and Edges that the 3 dimensional shapes have.

Walt: Use strategies we already know to solve decimal problems

In this presentation, we had to pick a decimal number, from 0 to four. I picked 3.9. I showed 3.9 from money. I putted 3 one dollars, and 1 50 cent, and 2 20 cents. We also had to show the number we had picked on the number line. Then we had to show the number in the tread house. It's got a one's column, a tens column, hundredes column, and a tenths column.

Walt: Use strategies we already know to slove decimal numbers

Task: Our task was to do a presentation of What's my Number. First we had to think of a number then we had to fill in the other stuff, the last part was to search up a image that looked the same like the number that we already picked.

Problem Solving

Walt: Use strategies we already know to solve decimal problems.

Character Description

Walt: Find specific evidence in the text.

This week we have been descriping a character named Kynan. He was a boy that wanted to buy himself a computer, but then he had no money. His mum told him to earn money so then he made a plan of a job that he will be doing. Kynan needed some money so then his mum gave him some money to start his bussiness.

The Ski Trip

Walt: Find specific evidence in the text.

Task: Our task was to write about how Anthony can earn money for his Ski Trip. Anthony mad a list of what he can do and he made another list of things he has to do to earn real money. When he finished making his plan he went around town to hang up the note if anybody else needs it. It had all the details so people knows his phone number and his email.

If I had a million dollars

Walt: Write effective paragraphs using jucicy and exciting words.


WOW! Having a million dollars, it would be a dream come true. I would really spend my money on the things that I don’t need. I could buy anything that I want. That would be so cool.

I would spend ⅓ of my million dollars at Toyworld it would be amusing. I could buy heaps of teddy bears and more if I want too. It would be so fun to have heaps and heaps of teddy bears because you get to hug them and they could make you so warm because their fur are very soft like a pillow.

At JB Hi Fi I would buy a samsung galaxy S5, alpha drone quadcopter and I would buy a PS4. So when I play my ps4 It would be like I am really in the game, it would be so fun to have an alpha drone quadcopter because you get to fly the drone anywhere you want it to go. 

At Footlocker, I would buy new pairs of shoes in all kinds of colours. But most of all I would buy Nikes, Sneakers and the Spike sneaker shoes. I would prefer these shoes then wearing adidas shoes. I would rather wear these shoes because it is good for me to run in when I have fittness.

I prefer Food Court because I like their tasty ice cream sundae, banana split, burger and also some coca cola. I would prefer these food because they are so nice and so cold just the way I like them. Food court is going to be the best place to spend your money at, I have the reason why you should spend your money at food court because you get to eat all the food and dessert to have all to yourself.

It would be so fun spending your million dollars on the things you always wanted, but it will also be selfish because you are not spending your money wisely on the things you don’t really need. Just imagine the poor people with no money and no homes and you are so rich with heaps of money. If I was you I will spend send the rest of my money to Africa so then they have clean water, shelter to keep them safe and also send some food to them.

Problem Solving

Walt: Solve tricky number problems in the thousands.                                                                                  

First I did 2+1 = 3, nad 0.5 + 0.7 =3.7 so the answer was 3.7
