Maths:

In maths this week I really liked learning how to times bigger numbers properly...

75 x 3 =

(70 x 3) + ( 5 x 3)

210 + 15 =  225

we also did...

75 x  3 = 225

210 + 15 = 225

and that means that we took away the first stage and did that in our head.

I also got 100% on my times table chart and I know most of my times tables.

Reading:
In reading this week I finished another book for the 50 book challenge and so now I have read 3 books and I`m really exited to finish. And I almost finished all my tasks for reading.

Writing:
In writing this week I liked doing research and I`m exited to start writing it, I`ve got loads of information on my topic but I need a little bit more.

Other:
In the morning I liked doing music, ball skills and gymnastics, I liked doing gymnastics and doing forward rolls. I also liked doing ball skills because we learnt that when you dribble the ball you have to look at your player. And I really like doing music because I know how to play the piano and in our song I get to play the keyboard. And on Thursday we did jump jam and I really enjoyed doing that.

I like doing the times table charts and I REALLY like getting 100% on it. We also learnt what a 360 turn was, I really liked the part where we got to demonstrate doing a 360.

Reading: 
In reading this week I really liked getting my 50 book challenge sheet because I like to read and I really want to complete it this year, plus I got to put my first book on the sheet today. My least favourite part of reading is that we didn`t get to go to the library and I really wanted to get new books.

Writing:
In writing this week we are starting to go into speechs and last year I wasn`t a big fan of them but this year I feel more confident. I want to do my speech on poverty but I also want to do smoking and I`m not sure which one to do.

The Borrowers

In 1997 Director Peter Hewih produced the movie `The Borrowers' the movie uses lots of camera angles such as extreme close up, birds eye veiw and cross cutting plus many many more. All of these have been used carefully.

In one of the early scenes of the movie The Borrowers it shows the small family of 4 are fighting in their kitchen the director is using the camera angles close up and cross cutting to show that Homily and Pod are worried about arrietty and that makes us feel like we are in arrietty's shoes.

In another early scene of the Borrowers it shoes Pete and the family in the back of the moving truck about to leave Pete's big home because it is getting demolished and pete found out that the Borrowers lived with him. While they are in the moving truck  the camera cross cuts back and forth from pete to the borrowers to show fear or that something bad will happen.

While the family are still in the moveing truck they are sitting in small red box falling around. The audience on the other hand are looking down on the Borrowers and that is called a bird's eye view. This shows that we have total control over them.

In conclusion I think the movie The Borrowers  used great camera shots and an amazing amount of humour.
