Adding fractions with different denominators

LI. To add fractions with different denominators. This week for maths we had to add fractions with different denominators. If you know all your multiplication facts it would be a lot easier and help you a lot. My equation is- 4/7 + 8/12, and my answer simplified is- 26/21. We had to create a DLO to show how to do this. I used a google presentation to make the DLO. I stumbled a bit the first time and now I understand more now. I realized that I did the wrong thing and then I asked the teacher and now I understand.

Comparing Myths, Fairy Tales, and Legends | Reading Strategies Reminder

LI. To understand where the comprehention strategies go. This week for reading we had to put the reading comprehention strategies to where we think it goes. We had to work with partners. My partner is Florence. I think predicting goes before reading, during reading, and after reading because you can predict what happens before, during, and after reading. You can use prior knowledge before reading so when you stumble over a part you know about, you can understand a bit more about the story.


LI. To compare the similarities and differences between fairy tales, legends and myths. This week for reading we compared the similarities and differences between fairy tales, legends and myths.

When we arrived to the pool we had to go through the hall and then we had to tell the instructor if we can swim. We had to tell her that for safety reasons. We then sat on the edge of the pool. Cameron showed us how to get into the pool safetly if you don't know how deep the pool is. You have to put your hands on one corner and the go down into the pool. We then had to put one hand on the other side so if the water is too deep we have to get out the pool. Cameron told us to try swimming from one platform to the other platform. When we did the rest of the things Cameron told us to float on our backs I did that. We had to float then start kicking to move. After that we had to try diving to the bottom. Then we got taught how to do the pencil dive. We did the pencil dive by putting your hand on your side and then taking a big step, then you fall down into the water. But you have to put your body straight.

We got two hundred and fifty and the other team got three hundred and fifty so they won.

Duffy Theatre | The Cloakroom bully

Yesterday LS1 went to the hall so we can watch a show that the duffy theatre presented to the school. We sat on the floor and they introduced who they were. There was Chantel, Duffy, and Malanie. The show was about how people bully kids and you should never bully anyone because one day you will realize the consequences. The show was based on a book called 'The Halloween Bully'. Chantel was the bully, Malanie was the bullied student, and Duffy helped Malanie stand up to the bully. Chantel's stage name was Ashley. Duffy was playing soccer with Ashley and Ashley said "Come on let's go!"

Duffy was going to go to Ashley for soccer practise but he heard crying from the toilet, he asked if the person was okay and she came out and told Duffy that she was being bullied. Ashley saw Duffy talking to Malanie. Duffy went and then Ashley threatened Malanie to never play with Duffy. Ashley was making faces, stealing Malanie's lunch, and calling Malanie names constantly. Malanie was always kind to Ashley but Ashley kept on bullying Malanie. Malanie then gave Ashley a book called 'The Halloween Bully'. When Ashley read the book she realized that what she was doing to Malanie was very wrong and then the next day Ashley showed up to school and apologized for being mean and bullying Malanie and they were friends. At the end of the show they thanked us for watching their show and then Fau stood up, and thanked the Duffy Theatre for presenting a lovely show. After that we went back to class.
