Dogs on the Beach - Test Writing

Hey Readers!
Last week my class took our writing tests. We got given an image and had to write a description about the scene. We had to put our writing on a google drawing, add a picture, and make it look pretty.
Here is my writing:
Please comment if there are any mistakes or write something that I could do better next time!

My Slime Profile

A few Fridays ago we made slime in school. The year 6's split into different groups to make different slime. I got the Chia Seed Slime and I think it wasn't the best. Here is my post:

Chia Seed Slime

In the Chia Seed Slime we used Chia Seeds, Corn Starch, and Water.

To make the Chia Seed Slime we had to mix Chia Seeds with Water and let it set for 12 - 36 hours (Mrs J did at home). Then we had to add the cornstarch and mix it together. After a few mixes we had to start kneading the slime.

I was the photographer so I didn’t touch the slime that much but I still felt it. The slime was gooey and felt weird from the seeds. It was thick but sticky. It stank like old playdough. I wouldn’t play with it that much if I owned it.

 

The problems with our slime was that it really stank and it was too sticky.

 I think we could add activator or maybe a bit of shaving cream to make it smoother or less sticky.

I learnt that I shouldn’t try the chia seed slime recipe in my slime recipe book at home because it makes a huge mess.

I rate this slime a 3 out of five because it was nowhere near my expectation level but I still love all slime!

Please tell me if you would play with this slime or if you do or don't like this slime.

School Should Start Later

This week we had to write persuasive writing about our chosen topic. We had to include For Example in each paragraph here is mine!

Please comment down below any other animals that could go on this list!

UM Learning Journey Task 6

This task is to create a new animal by merging 2 animals together.

I chose the head of a reindeer: 

  

and the body of a tiger:

I think it will be stronger in the wild now because it has horns to protect itself, and be very fast to escape, and it will hunt easily because it is now deadly, with sharp teeth and pointy claws.

Do you think this animal will survive?

What animals would you chose?

I wouldn't have anything useful to do with it accept cuddle people.
