My Ambition Residence

Do you want a house of your dream? Everyone in the world needs a house and I am one of them. I want a simple and a beautiful house for me and my family and I am going to tell you how my aspiration house looks like. Ambition Residence


There are four people in my family. My father my mother my 6 year old sister and me. My family is pretty small so that’s why I don’t need a really big house. I want a simple and beautiful house. The colour of my house must be brown; it must have four bedrooms, two bathrooms, one living room, two kitchens, and two garages. To make my house more beautiful I want lots of flowers, plants, and gardens outside my house.

I don’t want my house to be located in a busy area; I want my house to be located somewhere peaceful like Hamilton. I want my house to be located somewhere where my parents’ job is near, where the town and the hospital is near too. I also want my house to be located in a simple area so the visitors can find it easily.

I want this house so my family can live in a peaceful, safe place and can be happy.

Self- Assessment term-2

My goals for reading were to reach level 3B. I am working towards this goal by reading every night for 1 hour before going to bed. I am learning to improve my comprehension and vocabulary skills with the help of my parents and teacher. My next goal for reading is to improve my spelling.

My goal in writing was to reach level 4B. I am working towards my goal by learning about punctuation, like brackets, and explanations, spelling words and learning more about using a summary statement. My next goal in writing is to learn more interesting words so I can make my writing interesting and enjoyable to read.

My goals in numeracy were to learn how to do skip counting in 4’s, 6’s, and 7’s. I am working towards this goal by practising at school, discussing it with a friend and practicing at home with my family. My next goal in numeracy will be learning long division. I will need to learn more of the times tables to achieve this.

Landform

The earth’s made up with four layers, the crust, the mantle, the inner core and the outer core.

There are millions of mountains and hills in the world. Some mountains were already on the earth surface, but there are some mountains that were formed by the tectonic- plates. The tectonic- plates tell us where the volcanoes are and which mountains were formed by tectonic-plates and that in which country they were in. The mountains form when you tectonic-plates rub together. Mostly all the disaster that happens on the crust for example volcanoes happens because of the Mantle and the core.

The mantle and the core are the cause of what happens on the crust. Because the core is very hot the rocks and the stones melt and becomes magma, the magma then rises up though the mantle and up on the crust and comes out as lava that’s what we call volcanoes and tha5t’s how volcanoes erupt.

Millions of years ago the earth was very different form the earth we see now. All the countries and islands we see now didn’t use to be like that. All the countries and island we see now like India, and Russia and all the countries use to all crash together like one big island. Because of the volcanoes and earthquakes all the countries and islands spread out and became the world we know now. In the future we think that the world we see will not be the same.

My Rock

There are lots of different types of stones and rocks and every stone has a story or belongs to a stone family. I am going to tell you about the stone I found and how it looks like, how it feels like, where it can be found, and what can we use them for.

How Does It Look Like?
When you find a stone you will see that a stone doesn’t have only one colour it has the maximum of 3 colours. The most common coloured stone is coloured Grey, Black, and White.

There are many stones in the world that are shaped differently. Some have rounded shaped, and some have pointy edges. The one I found doesn’t have pointy edges, it’s a bit rounded and in the shape of an oval.

Where Can It Be Found?
There are many kinds of rocks in the world. The one I found looks like it was from rivers, lakes, or from the oceans. Some stones you can tell that they were from a river or from a lake because the colour of the stones will be dark.

What Can Stones Be Used For?
Stones are very strong. People use them for making houses, building, roads, and other strong things. There is an island call Palm Island in India, it is shaped like a palm tree. The people made the island because they thought that if there was a problem they can go to the island to survive. They built 20 hotels and made a new city in the sea, people are still living on the island. They used billions of stones and rocks to keep the island strong.

Rocks and Stones are very special, they really help us.
