Week 5 Term 3 Post 5

Reading: This weeks availl was on 'Race to Witch mountain'. It was a great  movie based on the journey of Jack Bruno and the alien kids, Seth and Sarah. The kids look normal, but they have super powers and can levitate things, move levers with their mind and move their bodies through solid objects. Our task was to write about three conflicts in  the text.

Maths: This week has been very exciting! Matific practice had started and by Friday, we topped the world board at 1st place. The comp was on, and room 2 was full of silent students, tippety tapping at their keyboards. We spent most of our day on Matific, but we didn't forget to blog or finish our reading. As of now, everyone is 20 stars behind us and as Mrs. C would say, we are blitzing it.

Writing: On Tuesday we peer-marked our reports on NZ prime ministers. I chose Helen Clark, and one thing I learned was that she was an internationalist, which means, she loved to travel. SHe first became politically active as a teenager, protesting against the Vietnam war. She is very anti-nuclear, and was the third person to recieve the Nuclear Free Future award. One thing we noticed, was that children mark very hard. Aside from that, there wasn't much writing this week.

End of Term 2 Reflection

Reading: This term we made our novel studies and we looked at Character Analysis which included Physical appearance, Personality traits, Growth, and relationships. After this, we used the information we had gathered to create an essay. The next task was main events and a summary, then mapping where we looked at the setting of the story. Connections were very important and there were three types of them; text to self, which means how we can connect to the book, text to text, which means have we read any books similar to the book and text to the world, which is about how the book has similarities to everyday life. Passage Picker was the author's purpose and the words they used to show emotions to the reader. I think that all my 'passages' were about the emotion of happiness, and one of them was about the first time Greg was racing in a rally. 'My fingers relax a bit. I stop trying to brace my feet. I breathe properly and my heart steadies. But that doesn't stop the b...

Learning Week 6 Term 2

Learning Week 6 Term 2 Reading:  I used visualisation and clues from the text to create a map based on the setting in 'Slide the Corner'. It was difficult because I couldn't get a feel of the place so I had to skim and scan for tid-bits of information that painted a very blurry picture. Writing: In writing, we practised quick writes, where we try to fit in one skill in a short story.We have used prepositions, practised descriptive writing using adjectives, adverbs, and figurative languages Maths: I learnt about the Mean, Median, Mode and Range and how to identify them using a poem. Hey diddle diddle, The median is in the middle. You add and divide for the mean. The mode is the one you see the most. The range is the difference between. Topic: I learned about the visual features of a Goliath Bird Eating spider and how it uses its hairs to inflict damage to the mucous membranes in the eyes. Its colour depends on which area it lives in. It's a varied sha...
