=﻿ ﻿ = MY LEARNING JOURNEY IN ROOM 9 2010

**__ READING __** Thursday 18th February Fox and Goat blooms taxonomy: The fox is cunning, selfish and thinks out plans.

The goat is honest, a questioner and is has terrorizing horns. **__ MATHS __** My maths group is called the DJ DUCKS. OUR GROUP IS THE TOP MATHS GROUP. OUR GROUP IS WORKING ON DECIMALS AND FRACTIONS.

**__ WRITING __** During writing we were doing poetry about autumn here is mine. I imagine skilled Ronaldinho juggles for practice. I think of the spiky hedgehogs hibernating. I glance at my silent shadow miming every movement. I stare at my scarlet ANZAC poppy. I gaze at the circular wood disintegrating in the far distance.

My Favourite cricket team are the ﻿BLACKCAPS <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One day I would like a Kookaburra Rogue cricket bat.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In room 9 we like to learn so Mr O’Brien our teacher uses strategies to make learning easy like – Number lines and Visualizing etc. I have made to the top of stage 6 on the number knowledge ladder and I am the co-leader of our reading group called the ‘Mexican Monkeys’. My Maths group is called DJ Ducks. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Number lines are lines with numbers and you jump to get to the answer. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Visualizing is when you read a text, close your eyes and see the picture in your head.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For maths I am struggling with my decimals and fractions. I have set a goal to achieve and it is to finish stage 6 by the end of the year.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I made it to the Rex Graham Cup Training squad for soccer this winter. My goal is to get into the team next year, and to get into and captain the Blue Caps, our top school cricket team. My brother captains Hereworth 1st XI Soccer and Cricket with 2 hundreds to his name (he is getting $200 at the end of the year.)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My next learning steps are to Develop sentences into paragraphs, Subtraction to 1,000,000 and Find connections between prior knowledge and the text.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bye for now. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Max D
