Self portraits

This week we have been working self portraits but since it is Easter we had to add a few Eastery features like bunny ears and whiskers I reckon it was really fun. c:
                                                                                                   

poem

 this term we have been working on poems. we had this poster thing delivered to us and there were 13 little things in it and we had to choose one i chose a spider we had to write a poem and send it over but our teacher wanted us to keep the poems so we had to write it on a piece of paper and then water colour it all of them fade in to each other I really liked this because I really enjoy art i recon you should do this.

addition algorithms

This term we have been doing a lot of algorithms. first you add the right  numbers and then you go along the left and add the left numbers and keep doing it but it depends how big the numbers are for how much you have to go along. I kind of liked to algorithms but then also i basically new all of the ones we did do.

Brunner mine poem

last week we went to the Brunner mine so the next week/this week we have been working on making poems about it. We had to describe the mine and use at least 1 language feature out of 6 there was onomatopoeia, similes, metaphor, alliteration, rhyme, and personification. I liked this activity because it pushed me to write a poem because i don't really like writing them.  

Dogs are my favourite things

This week we have been working on book reviews we had to pick a picture book or a book we had read and write a book review we had to include the author what it is about what we rate it who we recommend it for. I quite liked  this doing this.

Celebrating My Success

For this activity we had to make a slide about Celebrating My Success we had 9 tasks to do on the slide. I think this activity was fun and quite easy and I think that you should make a Celebrating My Success slide. out of all of the tasks my favourite was the photo montage it was really fun.

Opinion Sharing

This term we have been doing oral language and and for oral language we have been doing statement of the week. Every time we do statement of the week our teacher gives us a statement and we have to write at least 2 reasons for agreeing and 2 reasons for disagreeing with this idea. Before we started Statement of the week we had to pick a group to do it with and as you can probably see on the front my group was Molly, Ruby, Zyah, Zoe and me. I think that this activity was a great learning experience.

Show not Tell

This week we have been working on describing and we have been focusing on show not tell. Our teacher gave us a picture of a scared cat and then we had to describe it with out telling that the cat was frightened or scared. I kind of liked the activity because you got to write paragraphs and I like writing paragraphs. We had to use our senses, simile or metaphor and precise nouns, verbs and adjectives to describe.  Can you find my simile?

Problem solving

WALT: Apply our maths strategies to real life word problems.
For this activity we had to read the question carefully. Then we had to decide which parts of the question is the most important information and highlight what would help us solve the problem. After that we had to work out the equations and record down our answers as well as our working out.

I tried to make my working out look easy so you would under stand it if you don't know your times tables. I enjoyed this activity a lot because maths is one of my favourite subjects.

What is yours?

Fraction Thinkboard

This term we have been looking at fractions. Today we had to show our understanding of fractions on a think board. 

First we chose a fraction and put it in the oval. Then we had to show this fraction as a collection, as a shape, the equivalent fractions, the fraction in words, the fraction on a number line and last of all as a decimal. 

I think I went quite well on this task.  The part I found the most difficult was converting to decimals and showing the fraction on a number line.  I need to do more practice to get better at this.

Fairy Tale Setting Map

This week we have been working on fairy tales and books. My literacy group has been working on the story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. First we listened to the story on YouTube. Then we had to draw a setting map either on paper or a drawing. I chose a drawing because I am not very good at drawing. I think I went pretty well at this task and also think that it was okay because I don't really like making.
