SSR Selfie

LI: To summarise and retell a text.

I read a book that was called 'Furtunately the Milk'. It was a really interesting and hooked me into reading it to read some more. It is about how there was no milk and Davids dad went to the shops to buy some but he encountered an alien and then the alien took him. Read the book to find out the end of the story. I enjoyed reading this interesting book.

Fractions Of Sets | Maths

LI: To calculate fractions of sets.

Fractions are things divided into equal peices. We did this in our maths book and took photos of it to show proof. We had five slides to complete with 3-6 questions. I did stuggle with figuring out these questions but I eventually got it. I enjoyed this activity.

TOPES | Writing | Narrative

LI: To identify the stucture of a Narrative.

The structure of a narrative is TOPES (Title, Orientation, Problem, Events & Solution/Resolution). The purpose of a narrative is to teach a life lesson about somethings to keep you safe. In our writing group we made a google presentation. We didn't finish it but we are going to add on it every week until the finished product. We are writing a narrative/play for Mr. Wongs group to present the play.

Basic Facts Boxes

LI: To remember basic facts.

Today I decided to do my basic facts boxes. I did the speed demon challenge. My time was four minutes and thirty nine seconds. I did pretty good and hope I do better in the future. I enjoyed this activity.

Tau | Maori

LI: To learn the seasons in Te Reo Maori.

The word for 'seasons' in Maori is Tau. Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter also have their own words. In spring there is flowers grow, in summer the sun shines bright but there are chances of rain, in autumn the leaves fall down & in winter some parts of the world snow. We used the Te Ara website to learn these words.

Information Gathering | Making Connections

LI: To make connection and to record facts in your own words.

The types of connections are: Text to Self, Text to Text & Text to World. We read a story about Kakapos and then had to complete a slide about information gathering. After we have showed our information gathering slide we had to finish the making connections DLO. We had to be specific on our connections. I went back for feedback a bunch of times. I enjoyed this activity.

Planets In Maori | Inquiry

LI: To learn the names of the planets in Maori.

The suns name in maori is: Te Ra. Mercury is Aparangi, Venus is Kopu, Earth is Papatuanuku, Mars is, Matawhero, Jupiter is Parearau, Saturn is Rongo, Uranus is Wherongo and Neptune is Tangaroa. This week in inquiry, with Ms. Anderson, in partners, we created a DLO showing the translations of the solar system in Maori. My partner was Sakina. In our DLO we included attributed images of the planets, interesting facts and the translations in Maori. After we created the DLO we started to record it. Sakina and I struggled to say the Maori names and recorded a few times because we were struggling, but we finally finished it. I enjoyed this activity with Sakina.
