This week LS2 have been inpacking the literary devices and languages in Banjo Paterson's most famous poem " Waltzing Matilda ". In this poem their is old words like: Jumpbuck ( sheep ), Waltzing ( Walking on foot ), Matilda ( swagbag ), Swagman ( Sesonal worker ) and Billabong ( water hole). This poem was a ballad poem which is a peom that tells a story. I have worked collabotively with Avalon to identifiy the main idea of the story and found 3 facts to back the main idea.

Banjo Paterson - Waltzing Matilda

This week for readng we have been looking at the story " Waltzing Matilda". This is a ballad poem and was written by Banjo Pateson but his real name is Andrew Paterson. A ballad poem is a poem that tells a story. Mrs Anderson challenged us to collaboratively work with the person that was sitting next to us. I was sitting next to Avalon so there for she was my partner. We have created a DLO about summarising. Summarising is where we choose 20 important words in the story that pick 6 very important words from the 20 words then using the 6 words we sum it up into a text with a few sentences. I thought that I would make my text funny.
