Fish in a Tree - characters

Which character would you most like to know more about?

I admire Mr Daniel’s because he has a big heart he doesn't judge anyone and shows a lot of kindness towards his students. He speaks from the heart, all the advice he has been giving Ally has been heartfelt.

 I dislike Shay and Jessica because they bully Ally and tease her about the littlest things. Jessica copies Ally with everything she does, like she even chose the same ice cream flavour as Shay. 

 I would most likely be friends with Ally, I would stand up for her towards her bullies and make sure she she feels good about herself, I would also like to help her read or tell someone about her problems. 

 I would like to know more about Mr Daniels and learn about why he is so kind and friendly, we also don't know much about him so I would like to know more about his past.

Quite a while ago while we were in the library with Mrs Costello she read us a few chapters of the book Fish in a tree, Miss Power set up a google drawing which had questions on it and we had to choose characters from the book and write a few sentences on them.

Attracting Bee's

 

For reading we are leaning about bees we have learn, create and share tasks. For a create task we have to put something in our school garden to attract bees. Indie, Milan O, Pyper and I made this drawing to show our plans of trying to attract bees!                                                                                                 

Report Writing - Mexico

Mexico 

 

Mexico is officially the United Mexican States and it is in the southern portion of North America. Mexico have varieties of there common food which most are created around beans, corn and chilli peppers but the most popular ingredients that Mexicans tend to use are beans, rice, avocado and limes. In Mexico many people also love to play football.

 Food 

Mexicans have varieties of different dishes and some of them look very appetizing! Mexicans dishes are rich with healthy ingredients such as avocado, beans, limes, tomatoes and savoury meats which is good for your body because it gives you protein and minerals. Mexicans also present their cultural food very elegantly. 

 Football

Mexico’s national sport is football also known as soccer. Football was brought into Mexico by the British who founded the Orizaba Athletic Club in 1898. Carlos Vela was 1 of the best players in Mexico a few years back, he was named MVP and won the golden boot with a famous amount of goals scored in a single season. 

 Population and language 

Mexico was founded by a Spain man named Hernán Cortés on the 16th of September 1810. The population went pretty high in 2019 at 127.6 million when you compare that to New Zealand that is massive! The official language of Mexico is Spanish which is spoken by 90 percent of the people. 

In conclusion you can see Mexico has a lot of appetizing food, a massive population, most people speak spanish and english and they love there football!

For writing lately we have been writing reports. We got to choose what we wanted to write about so I choose Mexico. Trying to think what to write per paragraph was hard, here is my report on Mexico!

Tuesday 2nd March

Dear Mr Daniels,

I'm sorry I may not have shown this but I am super grateful and happy to have you as my teacher. I know we see eachother everyday but I didn’t have the nerve to come up and say this to you. For the past few months my reading has been really poor, all the words jump around the page which makes it very difficult. Once again thank you for believing in me.

Yours sincerely

Ally Nickerson    

 We are still reading the book Fish in a Tree in class, today our activity was to be a character and write to another character in the book. I was being Ally and writing to her teacher Mr Daniels.
