Lina stared down at her feet, she could feel her mothers hot glare, almost singeing the hairs on her head. “I’m sorry about your golden apple I…” Lina had hardly managed to finish her sentence or even look at her mother when… “but where did it go!?” she shouted. That was the first time Lina had heard her mother shout since her brother Daniel had thrown his toy truck at the post man.

Lina looked from her mother to her father, ashamed. She had known, been told her whole life not to touch that apple, and now one burst of curiosity had got the better of her.

Since the start of school my classmates, teacher and I, have been reading a book called “Silver Buttons” we were given a worksheet to work on as a class, on the worksheet we had to single out Adjectives, Nouns, Verbs and so on. After this we were put into groups to create an online book of our own with a similar story board to the “Silver Buttons” book. Here is the book I made:

Well as usual, the first few weeks of school have been… interesting, year 6 is much different to year 5, we have been learning different things in a different style, this classroom is a little more… to the point.

So far in Mathematics, we have learned many things including: factors, square roots, powers, numeracy ninjas and exploding dots with James Tanton. I have always enjoyed math and have understood it more and more in the last 2 years. In Literacy this year we have done some exiting things including, guided reading as a class, (we read an information report on some lions in the Tsavo Forest, Kenya) work on our comprehension skills, learning about bias and working on our knowledge of adjectives and verbs.
