For the Carey Celebrates Literature the year 5 students had a visit by Mark Wilson. Mark is a very good author and exceptional illustrator. Most of his books involve history because that is what he is passionate about. My favourite part about the festival was having my whole lunch to spend time with my buddy. This was really fun because we only get to see them at house every two weeks or if we see them at play time. My buddy and I really enjoyed playing at the Specky Magee football game. We got to kick, handball and mark but most importantly have lots of fun. Something I learnt from Mark was that instead of just starting an illustration you should always start with some warmup drawings. He taught us how to do this and I was really fun.
What is your favourite book? Do you know any books by Mark Wilson?
My buddies and I in house read a book called ‘Pets’. Though it was actually a magazine. We played a game where we gave each other 30 seconds to guess the seven small animals that were on the page called ‘seven small animals’. One of my buddies got 1/7 and my other buddy got 3/7.

This blog post is going to be about how my year 5 market group are going.
My group is called ‘Neon Gang’, in the group are me, Grace, Tom, Mia and Ned.
So far we have made our chip packet keychains, painted rocks, water colour bookmarks and stress balls. We have also got all of the equipment that we need for our ‘shoot for loot’ basketball game. We don’t need to make anymore items but we still need to make some discount cards for our products if we need to lower the price.
A challenge for me was that I was assigned to make the chip packet keychains and I hadn’t made them before so I had to look on YouTube and I saw some videos and tried them but non of them worked and they looked absolutely terrible. Then I asked my friend who’d done them before and he told me how to do it, I tried his method and they turned out really good.
We used lots of communication because we had to talk a lot over the group chat on our iPads because we weren’t always at school when we had good ideas. We used a lot of collaboration as well because we all had to help each other made our products. We also used resilience when our products didn’t turn out how we wanted it to.
Mia and I sent emails to Mr. Josh Frydenberg to ask if he could attend our Year five market. He said that he’d tell us if he could come when it was closer to the day because he was very busy with the election. Ned asked Kmart to donate a gift card and Grace asked Target to donate toys for prizes.
Someone who’s been working really well in the group is Grace, she has been making her items and posters.
What item would you buy out of our chip packet keychains, painted rocks, stress balls or water colour bookmarks? Leave it in the comments.
