WALT:understand the structure of a paragraph
Yesterday my class & I did an activity after lunch about cockroach & brains. Our teacher handed out papers that you will have to put in paragraphs and that will make sense. The paragraphs were mostly about cockroach what they are like & some of the sentences were just about brains or stomach. We learnt how you write a paragraph in order. It goes topic,elaborate and ending these are the things you will need in a writing or essay. The topic will have to hook the reader & will have at least 3 paragraphs. Your elaborate will have at least 4 or more paragraphs and your ending will restate the topic again.

Astria – Countdown to Impact
A teacher in another school has recently blogged that:
“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things".
I partly agree and I partly disagree. I partly agree because other kids can use their time doing other things like practicing their reading skills and their vocabulary just like that new word right there "Schematic" that's a word that I just learned today. I partly disagree because this game helps us a lot with our vocabulary and it can make our reading skills a bit higher. This game is also about Solar systems that I don't really know about it but hey it's just my first time playing this.This is confusing I didn't really get this game so my partner did most of the work.

Figurative language
Today in the first block Champion and Sita did the a drawing that will describe a language figurative. Figurative language is what we use when we are writing but only some of us. When you use figurative language it gives us more details or like more expensive words that we can use more than using cheap words. It will be much better if we use more expensive words. We found this easy because we just had to draw a picture that will describe figurative language.like personification, metaphor, simile and other figurative language. I can improve by learning more of this!
