Kaysha Character Profile

Today I filled in a character profile activity sheet about Kaysha from the book All Because Of Walter. It made us describe what she looked like, what she likes to do and we had to draw what she looked like. Kaysha has a red sweater, blue pants and she has black hair. She lives with a foster family and lives on a beach near the ocean. She also likes to play with animals, Do chores and get sent to new foster homes but she does not like the last 2 I said. It was easy drawing because I am really good at it but it was hard writing what she likes to do because I have only read the first chapter of the book.

What Things Have Changed Since The First Moon Landing

Since the first Moon landing lots of things have changed things like women's rights skin colors and also new technology. It was hard knowing what to say because I was not born for the moon landing and I do not know much things that have changed but good thing the Teacher gave me some ones to research but it was easy typing because I tried my best not to use any big words.

The Library Book Cover

Today I made a book cover for a story called the library, I have got something to tell you I have been sick the 2 days so i'm kinda confused. My friend said we had to make a book cover for a picture we had to make into a book. It was hard making the back cover but easy decorating the cover. I cant wait till I know what i'm doing.

Pigeon Impossible

Today for literacy we watched a short movie called pigeon impossible. It was about a cheeky pigeon who was trying to steal a bagel from Walter the secret agent. Walter stopped an explosion but he didn't exactly complete his mission. We had a choice of 4 activity's the first one was a wanted poster the second was to write new mission for Walter the third one was to make a news paper about it and the fourth one was to make a comic about the movie. I chose to do the wanted poster I had to make a picture of a pigeon write down its characteristics, what its wanted for, where it was last see and how much money the reward is. It was hard making the pigeon but easy writing everything.
I you want you can search up Pigeon Impossible and watch it for yourself it is hilarious.

The Shifty Shark

The Shifty Shark is written by Susan Griffiths and illustrated by Rae Dale. In reading we are learning to learn more about the characters and understand the story better. I recommend this book 4/5 to people who like adventures, Marian animals and big creatures the reason its a 4 is because it has a bit of blood in it but other then that its great. In this story the main character is Archie the shark and he is very determinant to win at all costs. While we were reading the books we had to fill in 3 sheets these sheets help me because I have to write down parts in the story ask lots of questions and learn what some words mean. My favorite part of the story is when Archie unexpectedly gets eaten by the Great White Pointer and my favorite saying was that your just another fishes breakfast. In my opinion I think this book is great and if you haven't read this then you should because this book is amazing.

What I know about novels

For the last six weeks we have been reading about a novel called all because of Walter.
It is illustrated by Mary dahl winton and written by carol kruegur.
At the start I was quiet but mow I'm starting to ask questions
For the last six weeks I have learnt that lots of  novels are really emotional.
Novels are chapter books and most of them make you not want to stop reading and you just cant put the book down. Overall I have learnt that novels can be really emotional. I suggest you read some.

All because of Walter Y charts

For the past week in  reading we were reading a book called because of Walter. And surprisingly I liked it. It was about how this girl keeps going from foster home to foster home. The teacher made us make character Y charts about what they do. Take a look.

What I know about questioning

Now for the next few weeks we are working on asking questions when we are reading novels because we need to look deeper at characters to see how they develop and impact the story. we will be asking how the social and cultural background of the author affected the character and how the character supported the author theme or message. The Teacher said we also have to put on what we should be questing. so this is what I know. Good readers question themselves, the ask questions before the read and while they are reading, They ask themselves at the title and they find the answer.

What I have learnt in myths and legends
