In art time we have been making things out of recycled stuff like plastic bottles, tin cans, bottle tops, and a lot others. Me and my buddy Amber did a bird house. I did the frame and cut the bucket and she did some of the gluing. The chain and frame I found in my garden and the bottle tops is from class.

Narrative Writing
This term we have been doing Narrative writing. So far we have done a octopus story that we had to recreate a the last part of the story and we had to make a wanted poster about 2 cowboy brothers that steal a ruby and started a fight over it and jump of a moving train into a riven for it . A quick narrative story that is made out of 6 sentences. This is my short story its about a hamster called Asher (A-sh-er). This is a story that we get the first sentences on a website and create a story.
Was it a crash that really woke me, or was it that dragon I has been seeing around the palace? I thought of calling Mr. Puss or just go back to sleep. But I decided to wake up Queen Clara my mistress so I got out of my kitty bed and jumped onto Clara's bed and started meowing and meowing “get of Princess Annabel I’m sleeping” Clara said so I jumped off her bed and went to the window the moment I go up I thought I had seen a tall long shadow creeping into the woods. When I looked at the car it was demolished flattened squashed never to see the road again. I jumped down of the window and trotted down stairs to the ball room and I saw the butler Mr.puss standing in the middle of the room and not moving eyes fixed on the open door and the demolished flattened squashed never to see the road again car. I walked to Mr.Puss and gave him a polite shove but he didn't budge so shoved him a little harder still no movement. A gush of cold air brushed my whiskers I shivered I went to go and close the door but it wouldn't budge either what was I going to do.
“I know what you can do”
“w-w-who a-a-are y-y-you”
“I am your Guardian”
“My what”
“Your guardian” “And as I was saying” I know what you can do”
“Well are you going to tell me or not kind sir”
“Well if you dont want me to then I don’t have to”
by this time I was getting a little annoyed
“I WANT TO KNOW”
“OK OK no need to get angry“
“sorry, so are you going to tell me”
“Yes”
“thank you”
“so the thing that you can do is bring a table and put it in front of Mr. Puss so he will snap out of the trance that he is in”
“He’s in a trance?”
“Yes, do I have to put all the dots together”
While my guardian was talking to himself I was looking for a table but don’t forget that I can’t see my gardien so it was fairly easy to ignore him. I finally found a tea table, and with some trouble I placed it in front of Mr. Puss I waited for a moment but nothing happened
“Nothing is happening”
“Just wait” My guarding said, with the tiniest hint of frustration in his creaky voice.
I waited of course, and suddenly Mr,Puss gasped and fell over “Mr.Puss”! I cried, are you ok! Mr.Puss was breathing really rapidly
and seemed to be asleep but his eyelids was flickering and slowly beginning to open “Mr.Puss, it’s me Princess Annabel.
Chapter 2
When Mr.Puss woke up he looked at me like I was some kind of ghost
“What's wrong Mr.Puss you looked surprised to see me”
“No dear I’m fine I seemed to have fainted”
“You didn’t faint you were in a trance”
“Oh thats right that awful dragon that belongs to that snob of a farmer next door knocked me out”
“What happened”
“Well that dragon smashed the car and that woke me up”
“Me too”
“well I wanted to see what had happened so I went down stairs and saw that the door was open the car flattened and the emerald eye gone”
“Oh no the emerald eye is the most powerful the in the Enchanted Forest”
“now do you understand why I was so worried. so I opened the door and that dragon was running across the yard he turned and saw me I looked in to his hypnotic eyes and that's all I can remember, what I remember that he hate the emerald eye in one long disgusting revolting hands.”
“That emerald eye is the power of the forest and if it’s goes out of the barrier then the forest will be to weak to stop the wizards from taking magic”
Chapter 1
Mr. Puss
and
My Guardian

What Had Happened?

Maths, Reading & Visualisation
In reading we have been working on our comprehension strategies. Last week we focused on visualization - they way we can create mental images when we read to deepen our understanding of the text. We read a short passage that explained how to measure a very tall object without having to climb it and we visualized how we would do this.
Yesterday we went out and put this knowledge in playground to practice. Paige and I me measured the fire pole on the playground. To do this you have to hold a pencil at a arms lengths away from your face and walk backward till your pencil is making the height of the thing you are measuring and then get a friend to stand at the base of the thing you are measuring. then you tern your pence on its side and then tell your friend to step side step till they are inline with the end if the pence then tell them to FREEZE. Then measure the length of the distance between them the the thing you are measuring. The length of the pole was 6.27m but we got 7.45m, so we were a wee bit out!!! Ha ha

Economics
In inquiry we have explored the basic economic problem. The problem is that humans have unlimited wants and our resources are limited. So because our resources are limited we need to work out what to produce to satisfy our wants. Economics is really all about choices and decisions!
The market ends up having to put a price on things that are limited, if you really want them you have to pay for them. If the resource is unlimited it is usually free or the price is quite low.
