We are learning how to create a Definition. Definition means the meaning of a word or thing. I have learnt how to skim and scan through the text we read to find information. We were reading about Missing the bus. Our task for today is to find vocabulary.

Fitbit and the Garmin Watch

Walt: think critically about what we read.

This week I learnt about Watches called the Garmin watch and the Fitbit. A Fitbit watch looks really skinny But the Garmin watch looks really fat. You can tell what if it is the Fitbit or the Garmin.

Team 4 Trade Fair

Trade Fair
Walt: add one main idea per paragraph

This term we are learning about Trade and Enterprise. Trade and Enterprise is about selling our products that we make. We got broken up into 6 different groups to learn about what it takes to become a business man or woman. This term we need to make sure we sell our products and earn enough money so that we make a profit.

As part of our terms topic we had a Trade Fair. A Trade Fair is like a market where you get to take orders from people for your products. They ask you how much is it and you say what you named your price.

For the trade fair my friends and I have created Something like a Minion Toss we created 2. I was selling my Toss for 2PT. She was selling her one for 1PT and 50 pieces.

Our Teachers created a bank account for all of the Year 5&6s. If we get money we could ask teachers to bank it for us. They say if we lose it we won’t get another one. We can only bank it at morning tea or at lunch.

I’m really excited about our market day coming up in week 8! We are hoping we make lots of PTS and Pieces. We were selling our products and buying other people’s products. If you are around Point England School please come and support them.
