Reading Journal: Captain Underpants.
Captain Underpants: chapter 1: George and Harold

Introducing George and Harold they are clever and good-hearten boys and they are fourth graders. At their school fourth graders have to pay attention and sit still. Their not good at that.

Today my reading group (Dragons) we had to read a chapter and retell parts of the chapter.
The book I read was

Captain underpants and the invasion of the incredibly naughty cafeteria ladies from outer space (and the subsequent assault of the equally evil lunchroom zombie nerds)
 
What I found exiting 
was reading the chapter

What I found difficult
was retelling parts of that chapter that I read

What I might do next time
is work with a buddy

Collaborative explanation writing.

Collaborative explanation writing.

Today after morning tea Room 1 did some explanation writing.


Planning ideas
  • Cut fabric to the size we want.
  • Get a cheese grater and beeswax.
  • Grate the wax on top of the fabric.
  • Place baking paper on top.
  • Iron.
  • Wait for it to cool and dry.


Beeswax wraps can be used to wrap your food instead of plastic.
Here is one of the many ways you can make your own wraps.

First you need to cut some cotton fabric to the size you want.
For different uses you might like to try different shapes and sizes. For example, you could cut fabric to the size of your favourite bowl.

Using the cheese grater, carefully grate the wax on to the fabric. Give the fabric an even coating of wax sprinkles because it is important to have a consistent layer so your food stays fresh.
Completely cover the fabric with baking paper. Gently rub the iron over the baking paper to melt the wax. The hot wax will melt in to the fabric creating a sticky air-tight wrap. Remove the baking paper and allow the wrap to cool down. This will take around 3 minutes.

Once it has cooled, your wrap is ready to use. Goodbye to single-use plastic wraps!


The thing that I found exiting.

was hearing and putting the descriptive words.

The thing that I found difficult.

was understanding the paragraphs.

What I might do next time.

Put my hand up more than I did before.

Magic carpet ride

The boy lean't to his left and swooped around another corner. He never felt more alive than when he was on his magic carpet.
Finding a straight stretch of road he urged the carpet to top speed, sending plumes of dust from the ground all around him. He quickly approached a woman dressed in black carrying a bowl of fruit.

The dusty golden bowl contained red juicy apples, green luxurious pears, brightly coloured oranges, and bananas as yellow as the sun. He swooped in and quickly grabbed a red juicy apple, racing away so he wouldn’t get into any trouble.
He could only hear the stones rattling on the ground. When he looked back he could only see plumes and plumes of dust in the air. He went up high in the sky and spied the lady swiping the plumes of dust away from her face.
“GET BACK HERE YOU SCUMBAG!!!!” She yelled angrily.
When the clouds of dust vanished she could see only a silent town.

Room 1 has been doing pobble 365 (magic carpet) all week.

What I found exciting. 
Was putting in all the descriptive words in my writing.
What I found challenging. 
Was spelling the descriptive words.
What I might do next time.
Is grab a dictionary and add even more descriptive words.

Bedtime cat.

Bedtime Cat.
There’s a lump on my bed,
A bump on my bed,
A furry purry hump on my bed,
And my mother said,

“Put the cat out”

There’s a growl outside,
A yowl outside,
A cold lonely howl outside,
And my brother cried,

“Let the cat in!”

By: Joy Cowley.
