Our Sleepover

   Our Sleepover

 My favourite activity was...
Shelter building because you could create your own shelter using your imagination and knowledge. Our group did it with Nathan's mum. I learnt how to tie a tighter know than how I did before.

The funniest thing was...
The skit activity in room 28. Our group did a dance, it was sort of random though, because we all died at the end of the dance.

The scariest moment...
Noting was actually scary. That's a good thing.

Something I learnt about school in England...
They eat in their huge lunchroom. 

The food was...
AWESOME! Because it was delicious! We even had a choice.

The most surprising thing...
We were going to read City of Ember. I didn't expect that to happen.

City of Ember

      Description

This is a picture about the City of Ember

City of Ember is a city that was planned to last 200 years.

They can't grow food, make things, they only get what they get from the builders who built the city.

Once the supplies runs out, it will be a big disaster, which is happening right now.

They're having blackouts, and the foods are running out.

They don't know there's and other side of the world,

they only know about City of Ember.

The citizens have to work when they're 12.

Multiplication Strategies

       My Reflection

       I found place value strategy was the easiest,

              because its easy to multiply the numbers you split.

Next time I will try using it with bigger numbers.

My Diamante Poem

Speech

Volcano Art

Refection:

I found this art work fun and easy, next time I want to improve on the paper cutting for the volcano.

Lilian's Monthly Basic Facts Graph

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

Reflection:

I am learning to identify the character's personality from Cry of the Taniwha, how the character actually is and the first impressions. 

I found it easy because I understood the story really well.

The character that I am writing about is Skulla from the Cry of the Taniwha.  Next time I think I will try and include more ideas about the characters.

Decimal Place Value

Maths Olympiad Participation Certificate

My Pepeha Art

Reflection:

I found it easy to colour it in, I really liked drawing it.

Next time, I will try and use different ways and techniques to draw my pepeha.

Comparing Fractions

Reflection:

I am learning to compare fractions.I felt easy to compare these fractions,because I know how to work it out with the strategy that the teacher told me.Next time I will try a harder fraction and compare it.

My Special Place

WAL: how to use our senses to add detail to our writing to make it interesting for our reader.

What helped me with this writing was talking about our ideas,conversation,looking at examples that the teacher gave, sharing ideas,and brainstorming.

My next step is to: Give more detail in my sentences.
I felt confusing to describe my senses.

My Concentric Circle Art

Our class was learning how to draw concentric circles using warm and cold colours.

Understanding a Character's Impact

Reflection:

I was learning how to understand the character's impact.

I understood the changes that Leslie caused.

The tricky part was to change it to a obituary.

My next step would be to use the same ideas when I read other books.
In this work I was writing as one of the characters.

Comparing Characters

Reflection:

I was learning how to compare characters.

I compared Jesse and Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia.

I found this learning was easy,

because once you know about the story,

you'll have lots of ideas to compare with.

My next step is to  think about who I am more like and what I have in common with these characters.

Make and break popplet

Reflection
I am learning to make and break numbers,
I think I did well, because I wrote a lot of ways to make 20.  I used subtraction, addition, square roots, division and brackets.
Next time I think I should write more.  I could try to use factorial and other complicated ways.

My kennings poem

       Reflection

I was learning how to write a kennings poem.

I felt a bit easy doing this learning, because I know myself well.

I didn't have so much trouble writing it,

the only one was remembering to write an before the vowels.

Next time I will remember to write an before vowels,

and edit it before the teacher checks.

My Did you Ever Poem

                                                                      

                                                               

                                                            Reflection

 I was learning how to write a Did You Ever poem.

I felt a bit confused doing this learning

because I wasn't sure about the sequence,

so I looked at the example.

I had some trouble thinking 

about interesting words,so next time

I think I need to look in a thesaurus.

I could also ask the teacher for some help on

interesting words.
