I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns


In this unit I have been learning about:
  • The parts of speech.
  • The types of nouns.
  • The types of sentences.


In this unit, I found challenging… learning about all the new things.

Something new I learnt was... Learning more about nouns.

Senior librarian excellence evidence #10

Over the course of this week I have helped Mrs Ward lots because:

Monday
Before school I helped run the library in the morning by issuing and returning books for people and then putting them back on the shelves.
At Morning Tea I went into the library and put all of the books away that were on the trolley and tidyed the library up.
At lunch time the library was closed so I went in there again and put all of the books away and yet again tidyed up the library.

Tuesday 
At lunch time I went into the library and put all of the books away that were on the trolley and then picked up books that were on the floor and tidyed the shelves.
After School Liam and I went into the library and put all of the books away that were on the trolley.

Wednesday
Before school I issued and returned books for people and then put them back on the shelves.
At Morning tea I put all of the books back that were on the trolley and tidyed up the library.
At lunch time I put all of the books away again and then I tidyed up the library again.

Thursday 
Before school I issued and returned books for people and then put those books away of the shelves.
At Morning tea I went into the library and put the books away that were on the trolley.
At lunch I did not have to go to the library because Mrs Patten opened the library and the librarians put the books back.

Friday
Before school I issued and returned books for people and then I put those books back on the shelves.
At morning tea I put back all of the books that were on the trolley.
At lunch time I put back all of the books that were on the trolley.

Mrs Ward has been away most of the week and asked me if I could keep an eye on the library for her and help keep it tidy while she is away. 

I showed leadership by helping Mrs Ward out all week.

Senior librarian excellence evidence #9

On Thursday once the 12:50 bell rang I went to the library because I had library police duty.  Once again I was alone because my partners didn't show up.  I didn't have to do a full job because there was no wifi so Mrs Ward couldn't print some of the overdue lists but she had already printed some before the wifi went down so at least I still had work to do.  The most annoying thing was that the lists had to be cut up so I had lots of cutting to do.  Once the lists were cut up I stapled the overdue notice to the lists and then gave them to Mrs Ward so she could put them in the teachers pigeon holes.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to attend my library duty.

Student council excellence evidence #9

On Wednesday I had to leave class to go to Student Council and take a laptop with me because the normal minutes taker was at the winter sports tournament.  Once I got there, there was only a few people there.  Once most people got there we did the roll to see which classes were and were not there.  We had to send some runners to get the classes that were missing.  Once they got there we started the meeting.  In the meeting we talked about the SPCA day that we are running and possible fundraisers that we could do.  We came up with about five ideas.  For our homework we have to ask our class what they want in our future school.  I showed leadership by being at the right place at the right time to attend the meeting.

I can understand the features of different types of text and text forms

WALT: I understand the features of different types of texts and text forms.


  1. Text features are important because: it helps the reader when reading it e.g. for a poem some features setting, main character and point of view.

  1. Each genre has different text features because: Each genre is different and different things happen.


  1. Two genres that I studied the text features of are: Poems and A Website.


Here are the links to all 5 of my follow ups.
Features of a story.

My CARE Progress


I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year. 
I am proud of my progress because I have got my BRONZE and I am going for my SILVER now.

How far away are you from reaching your SILVER?  I am pretty far away because I have just started on it.
The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E because I got lots of ticks in the other values for my bronze.
To achieve my SILVER award quicker I need to get on with my work and stay focused.
The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is stay focused on my work.
We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.
