I have been practicing my independent reading skills and completed an SSR selfie.  A SSR selfie is where you read independently for 15 minutes, then write down different bits of information that you have read.

This week I read a book about the hungry wave,The hungry is a story about samoa and tonga having a tsunami long long ago. First I Made a DLO and called it The Hungry Wave. Next I Copy and paste my story onto the DLO. and here is my work.

This week for writing we were doing emotive language.

First we had to get a partner and then we had to write emotive words on a peice of paper. We had done a compition to see who had more emotive words.

Next I had to go and do a DLO of what emotive language words are and what  emotive  language means.

Lastly I had to finish the rest of my work.

I enjoyed this task because I had fun. I did well at telling what emotive language words. I need to improve on doing more words.

During studying the Victoria Cross I have learnt that these 4 men I have been reading about were incredibly brave. The Victoria Cross for Australia is the pre-eminent award for acts of bravery in wartime and Australia’s highest military honour. It is awarded to persons who, in the presence of the enemy, display the most conspicuous gallantry; a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice; or extreme devotion to duty. The Victoria Cross shall be awarded for the most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy. I have a great respect for men who fought in all the wars that have come before.
