In room 16 we have been doing aboriginal art.For my art I did my farm with fire works exploding and a dog barking. Some people did the sea.

Learning conference

On the 18 of August 2009 some people had a learning conference with their mum and dad or just their mum or their dad and the teacher. The child shares some of their learning stuff like maths strategies and basic facts results or some art like papier mache and your writing. You could share your report and how well you think you had done with everything. It was fun.

ICAS TESTS

People who had signed a form to do the icas test have sat them and the tests are maths, reading, spelling and writing and it cost money. First you have to fill in your name in these little circles that have little letters in the circles. You have to have a special type of pencil because when it go to Australia to get marked it goes through a scanner that marks it and it can only mark the special type of pencil and you need to press down sort of hard.
In maths you do problem solving, dividing , sharing and some geometry. In reading you have to read the sentences and then you have to answer the question on the other page it starts off easy and gets harder. In spelling you have to spell heaps of words like printer.
In writing, you have to think of your own topic to write about and you get five minutes to plan it. You get 45 minutes to write it, then 5 minutes to edit it. When it goes to Australia it gets scanned. After a while it comes back to us marked and it ways whether we get credit, particiaption or distinction or high distinction. I think I might get a credit for maths .

Maths

Room16 has been doing maths. I love it because I practice every day now that is heaps heaps because sometimes it is a humongous challange for me. Sometimes all our class gets the maths right. We have a website that we go on called world maths day where you make your own person and you can choose what ever you want then you go and play the games. When the two numbers come up on the screen you need to write the answer in the box and it will make a ding noise. If it is wrong it will make a bad noise and you get points for getting them right and with your points you can buy heaps of stuff.
