Poppies DLO

For Reading we have been learning and talking about ANZAC stuff.
For this weeks lesson we learned about Poppies and why they're important to people.
A guy made a poem about poppies during the war. He was a doctor named John McCrae.

We had to make a DLO about it and why it's important and respectful for the ANZAC.

I found it hard to try and not copy and words from anything except any example.

I found it easy to decorate and simple.

Here's my work.

ANZAC Mascots DLO

For our Reading we didn't read any passages. We were more focused on making and learning ANZAC Mascots.

ANZAC Mascots are animals/ costumes that did/ will do something in war to cheer people up or to help them.

We had to make a DLO about them. After that we also had to make our own mascot and tell us how it can help soldiers.

I found it hard to try and come up with my own mascot because it's hard to just imagine and draw it for me.

I found it easy to draw and write a DLO, and to draw it and design.

Here it is.



Here's a picture of my mascot

My Maths Strategy DLO

For our Maths we've been learning on how to do the right way of working out addition and subtraction problems.

We had to make a DLO about it and we have to also make it really good and effective for others.

I found it hard to explain how to do the subtraction.

I found it easy to explain how to do the addition one and transitioning it.

Here it is.

St. Maximilian Kolbe DLO

For our Religious Education. We were given a video to watch but we couldn't watch so we had to read it and also watch the video on Ms. Wilton's computer casted in the TV.

It's about a Guy called Maximilian Kolbe. This is not his real name but he was called that when he became a priest and helped people.

He wrote magazines stuff about God and you should follow him. But once he wrote about the Germans killing Jews and he was arrested by German Gestapo.

He saved a man who was gonna die because he is one of the people who will die if someone escapes the prison. Maximilian Kolbe sacrificed himself.

Find out more in my DLO.

Here it is!!!




Also in the end I used and app/site called Voki. Its a app/site that has a lot of characters and you can make them talk. Even Trump is there an d Anime and different characters, Real Life, Fantasy, or Cartoon. You can change the accents and voices.

This is one of the best sites I've found so far.

ANZAC Violin Writing

For Writing, Ms. Wilton rad us a book called "ANZAC Violin".

It's about a guy called Alexander Aitken. He's from New Zealand and fought World War I in Gallipoli. He has went through a lot of fights, problems, and loss in war. But he always used a violin to calm him and everyone, and everyone like him playing it. So they decided to always keep it safe. Even it's not allowed they hid it so that Alex can keep on playing it for them.

Anyways, that's a quick skim through the book.

So we had to make a chart of different descriptive stuff. We had to write down words or a sentence from his perspective / Point of view.

After that, we had to write down a diary from his perspective using the words we wrote.

I found it hard to try and make up some stuff using his own point of view.

I found it easy to come up with words that would describe the location and the sight for him.

Here's the writing work that I did.

Alexander Aitken

“I hear people screaming in pain. It looks really painful. Bones cracking in the distance, while the
doctors get their bones in place. Everyone looks tired and hurt. The beds are stiff and uncomfortable,
and it’s very dirty. It also smells like blood all around here. Shouting. Screaming. Arguing. Panicking.
It’s all that’s going on right now. I hear loud footsteps getting lower and lower, and louder and louder.
Maybe it’s doctors going back and forth. It’s so hot in here, and it’s so dirty. So many muddy
footsteps and blood on the floor. I can barely hear anything anyone is saying. It’s so loud, and
smells really bad in here. I’m really tired, I might need to take a nap. I can still hear screaming
from a room over there. I really feel bad for everyone. People are sacrificing their lives for
their country. Everyone must be brave for doing that. More and more people are being brought in,
as I’m writing. Other comrades are panicking and arguing about their wounds. They look really
scared. I’m sweating a lot. This bed is so annoying. The wood is poking through the bed, It kinda hurts.

I should start playing my violin. Maybe that could calm people down, and make them less noisy.”
