Maths at a garage sale (not literally)

Last week I was learning about how important it is to read instructions properly and to look at the key in graphs.

Here are a few problems I worked on. It is important that I look at the key because it helps you with the question you're trying to figure out.  So the key in this grid is 6. 1 coin equals 6 dollars. So it’s obviously 6 x tables.  So it’s important to look at the key. That’s the first thing you do. Then you look at the question and figure it out.

W.A.L.T Improve our writing by carefully checking our sentences

and try to add descriptive language.

My next step is to learn more about descriptive language.

I have a basic understanding of descriptive language but I still have to learn more.

The Wonderful, The Amazing cave

On a cloudy day me, Kim and the two dogs went for a long long walk to this amazing cave.

Finally we arrived at the trail. Adrenaline ran through my body as we were walking up the trail. I was sooo excited to see this cave that Kim was blabing  about. But as we were walking there was heaps of obstacles like really slippery mud and little rivers to cross. “Mud and little streams of water ain't going to stop me getting to this cave” I said. But when we were going further up the trail it got even harder.

We eventually ended up at a dead end. “Oh man were at a dead end” I said with dread. My head went down. I was sad as a person that lost their animal. I was about to go on my knees and cry.  But then a Fellow person came and asked “are you trying to get to the cave” the person asked. “Yes we are” We replied. “Just follow the trail I just came from” The person replied. “Okay” Kim said. so me, Kim and the two dogs went to walk the trail that the person came from. “We are almost there” I shouted with heaps of excitement.

Finally we are at the cave. Excitement was bubbling up inside me.  “Hooray! We have reached the cave” I screamed As I stood there with excitement.  “This cave is amazing” I Jumped up and down like a crazy kangaroo. “Look at this view amazing view” Kim said. “Yeah it’s a amazing view!” My eyes lit up with joy.  “Also its a amazing cave too” I said. “Yeah it is a really cool cave” Kim said. “Well,  do you want to go back now” Kim asked me. “Yip I think it’s time to go back home before it rains” I replied. So we walked back to the car. But as we were almost at the car there was slippery slimy mud all over the ground. But then.. I slipped over into the slippery slimy mud. “Yuck Yuck Yuck!” Grossness all over me. “Haha Thats funny” Kim Laughed like a monkey. “Well, I guess it’s funny that I slipped into the mud. I said. Kim was muddy too and the two dogs were covered in mud. So as I got into the car I covered the seat in mud Kim and the dogs got the seats muddy too. But Kim wasn’t covered in that much mud. Then I had a shower when I got back to my mums house. Her Reaction was sooo hilarious to see.  when I was covered in mud.

I thought walking to this cave was an amazing experience and it’s good exercise too. We faced a lot of obstacles like slippery mud and little slippery rivers to cross. I very very much enjoyed that time I went for a long long walk  and I also got covered in mud too. Also kim ( Mum’s partner)  got muddy and the two dogs did too. We all got covered in mud. Did you visit any caves? Any wonderful and amazing caves.
