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. Myths are usually known for being based on religion beliefs. Legends have had the characters or events changed around a bit. Mr. Wong has told us to read articles about myths, fairy tales, and legends to have a better understanding so we can know what the similarities and differences between the stories.

We had to put the book title, scene location, the question, the answer, the answer location, and the visualisation. You could draw a picture either digitally or with your hand. I chose with my hand. My group had to make two visualisations. The books I chose are- Let's get invisible, and Beware, The Snowman. They are both a Goosebumps book.

Kiwi Sport | Swimming

Today we had our first kiwi sport session for term three. The year four's had to go with room five to the YMCA lagoon. We had swimming sessions with Cameron. 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.
