Reading W11 T2

This week for reading we were in homebasses again.

My goal for the week is: Independently predict, interpret and analyse text, 'reading between the lines' to gain deeper meaning.

For my task/create task was to watch some videos, and chose a book to read which prefers to our level. We also had to complete a template of some sentences and what we predict and infer.

Here is my create task!

Do you enjoy predicting? 

Maths T2 W11

This week for maths we were in homebasses again. 

This week we focused on shapes. We had three maths task to do, one of them was a must, and two others we could pick, the must was a blue sheet on shapes, there edges, faces ect I will be sharing pictures of my work down bellow after I explain my other tasks. 

We also had to do three goals. 

Goal 1: Relate 3D models to 2D representations, and vice versa

Goal 2: Identify and sort 2D and 3D shapes into classes. Define the properties of the shapes and justify the decisions made.

Goal 3: Represent objects with drawings and models.

Im going to include one of my tasks down bellow!

How many edges do you think a cone has?

Maths W10 T2

Hi

This week for maths my goal is: use a broad range strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers 

For maths this week I am doing rounding and compensation to whole numbers.

For my task I have to make a DLO on what I had learnt including my goal and a Blog! I made a DLO and did 2 Multiplication and 2 Division tasks.  

Here is my DLO

 

Have you ever done Rounding & Compensating? 

Writing W10 T2 😄🚾💯

This weeks goal  for writing this week is, use a range of written features to engage the audience. 

For my create task we learnt about complex sentences and compound sentences. Complex has a  Independent clause and dependent clauses. A independent is a sentence that can stand on its own!

Example of a complex sentence could be "The tree was as tall as giraffe, as it tumbles down" 

Where do you think the independence clause is and where is the dependent?  

If you guessed that the independent clause is "The tree was as tall as a giraffe" Because you can write a sentence with just the tree was as tall as a giraffe. The dependent clause is "as it tumbles down" why? 

Because you dont write a sentence that says "as it tumbles down"  In a complex sentence there is also a 

conjunction, a conjunction is what joins the sentence together, where do you think a conjunction would go in this sentence? "The tree was as tall as giraffe, as it tumbles down" 

In that sentence there is also a simile, the simile is "The tree was as tall as a giraffe" Because I am comparing something to something else. 

If you guess the word was "as" then you were right!

Here is a picture of my task! 

Have you ever write a complex sentence, if so what was it and did you get the questions right when I asked?

Reading week 10!!!! 📘📜👏

My task for reading this week was to create a DLO or use a template of answer questions about a book that we choose, some questions were, what does this make me think about? why do you think the author wrote this story? also like a short summary of the book!

As I used a template from last week to share my work. 
 

Here are both my tasks! 

Have you ever done summarising?

Reading W9!

Hello, welcome to another post for the week, this one is about reading! 

In reading this week my goal was Visualise using all of the senses, and talk about how this enriches meaning.

For my reading task we had to read Willy Wonka,just like the movie but we read it, for our task we had to use a template read apart of the book then draw or make a google drawing of the thing that we visualise!

Have you ever visualised your scenes? 

Maths t2 w8

Hey everyone!

Today I am going to be sharing another blog for the week but for maths week 9. in maths this week my goal is use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems using whole numbers and decimals. In maths this week we had to prove that we knew how to do this, by answering heaps of questions, I really enjoyed doing some of the decimal ones. For my task we had to make a DLO I made a slide show, in my slide show I proved that I do know how to do this goal. 

Here is my slide show! 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks math blog come back for another one! Thanks Ruby! 

Have you ever done something like this, if so did you understand, what was your fav part? 

Writing wk9 t2

This week for writing my goal was : use Complex Sentences that are grammatically correct! 

For my task we had to make a DLO slide google drawing ect. On the DLO we had to make up some complex sentences 

Have ever done complex sentences? 

Maths task/follow up! WK8 T2!!!

Hey everyone. today I will be sharing you a little bit of my maths for the week!

My goal was !

Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers.

This week for maths we had to choose between beginner, stepping up, or confident! Beginner is working the level 3, stepping up is level 4 along with confident. I decided to do beginner as It suited me! In beginner we had to answer 4 R & C (Rounding & compensating) questions. 5 D & H (Double & Halving) 4 reversibility and 6 place value. A example or R & C would be that I had a question  47 x 4= first I would add 3 to make a whole number, then it would be 50 x 4= which makes =200, then I would get the 3 we added and times that by with the 4 on 50 x 4, 4 x 3= 12 then I would get the 200 again and minus 12 that we added. answer would be 188!!! 

Also for the week we had to make a DLO (Digital learning object) I made a google drawing! On our DLO's  we had to include 4 questions we had answered I did one from each.  R & C D & H reversibility and place value! 

here is my create task!!!

And my book work is down bellow!

Have you ever done any of these strategist when learning maths, if so when? 

Writing wk8!!

(This week for writing we were also in homebasses if you read my reading blog you would know)

Hello everyone! 

This week for writing we had to make a narrative, but first we had to make a plan. The teachers made a video of explaining what to do for writing this week. In my plan I included some main parts, but not all of it, in writing we had a choice to in search of a goal, which is like looks ing for something which you could right about or, there and back again. I choose to write about there and back again. 

 I write about a lady named Kim who "passed" from a deadly flu, she didn't actually pass she was brought back to the 17 hundreds. Kim has to find away to escape until she finds people spying on her, there was a red and a black team, the red team wanted people who had died from the flu to stay in the 17 hundreds for ever and the black team would let them go under one codiation they had to join the black team and for them, by doing challenges.  

Heres a picture!  of some of my writing & my plan!

Here is a link to my doc - 

Have you ever write a narrative?

Reading wk8

This week in Reading we actually did not have workshops. We worked in our Homebasses. We had to read three books and do three activity's for reading. For my activity's I did a postcard, a A-Z list of words in my book and a Book Review.

 For my post card I write to my friends Ella & Neila! In my post card I read a book called understanding OCD. In my postcard I talked about who the charters where, where the setting was, the problem and more. My book was about a girl named Tia had OCD which made her very frustrated and exhausted. One day at lunch these kids at school saw Tia struggling with her OCD how she can't let her food touch each other or bad things will happen or she cant let other kids touch her at lunch or bad things will happen too. After lunch these kids approached Tia talking about how he Gabriel surfers from OCD, after talking about it everyday they became best friends. 

Heres a picture of my Create

For my A-Z list I read a book about bees (im not going to put as much detail as I did in the postcard) 

I read a book called "Honey bees" this book is a really long book so I will include a little bit, but in my book they talk about, the buzzing noises of honey bees, honey bees body and inside the bee hive, there was more but it was very long. 

Heres a picture of my work! (can only show a little bit) 

For my last one I did a book review. For my book review I read a book called "lost at sea" basically my book was about these two boys, Troy and Josh who were out finishing and they got caught in a rip, they floated out to see, after a couple days a massive ship with heaps on containers  speed past creating a massive wave that nearly tepid them, after a couple days a fishing boat came past and helped them.
Here is a picture!

Have you ever done a activity like any of these?
