Sleep Over

The City of Ember

My Reflection

This term we are reading The City of Ember.

Our task was to go onto Tagul the website  and write everything we know about Ember.

I found this tricky because I have already watched the movie and I wasn't aloud to spoil it.

Other then that I found this task easy because I listened carefully to the story for extra detail I didn't get in the movie. I think I did well because I added everything I knew about The City of Ember.

Next time I'll try put more interesting words in there so you get more detail about the story.  

Multiplication Strategy

Reflection

I was learning to solve multiplication strategy using doubling and halving strategy , multiplication strategy and  place value strategy.

I think my best strategy was doubling and halving strategy because I think It is the clearest one.

I think my second best one was the place value one but I don't think it was as clear.

My next step is to make it more louder so you could here me better.

Writing Sentences in a Variety of Ways.

My Reflection.

I was learning how to write interesting sentences using add ons, lead ins, in-betweens and mains.

I found this work easy because I knew how to write about it and put add ons, lead ins, in-betweens and mains in my writing.  Next time I do this work I will try add more detail in

my writing.

Little Red Ridding Hood Compressing Map.

Reflection.

I was learning to compare Roald Dahl version of little red riding hood  compared to the original

little red riding hood. I found this work easy because I could remember the two

videos so it was easier to compare them. Next time I want to 

add more interesting words for there character.  

Diamante Poem

My reflection

I was learning to write a Diamante poem. I found this work tricky because 

I didn't know what words to use to describe a daffodil.

Next time I want to try to use more describing words. 

My Volcano Art

My Reflection.

This evidence shows my volcano art we did.  I found this work easy because I knew what shape and

size I wanted my volcano to be. My favourite part was the sponge painting because all

we needed to do was get a sponge dip it in the paint and tap it all over the paper.

The next time I do this sort of art I will try to make the drag painting 

part combine the colours more. 

my speech

My Reflection.

I was learning to write a speech. I found this work easy because 

I could explain a lot about my topic which was netball.

My next step is to make it flow a bit better so it is 

easier for the reader to read and listen to.

My basic facts progress.

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

My Reflection.

During the term we have been reading a book Cry of the Taniwha.

In this evidence we were learning to write about what the character is like on the outside and  what the character is like on the inside (things people don't know about them).I found this work easy because I knew what my thoughts were at the beginning of the novel and my thoughts at the end. My next step is to try add more interesting words to explain a characters personality. 

Decimal place value

My special place.

Reflection

I was learning to describe my special place and how it is in my point of view.

I found this work easy because I know my special place and how to describe it.

I enjoyed this because it was really fun and interesting and I haven't done this kind of work before.

Next time I want to describe my special place in more interesting words.

My Reflection

This learning shows my special place writing.

Natural Disaster Brainstorm

Reflection

I have been learning to summarise and record my research in my own words.

I found summarising the information into my own words challenging 

because there are a few words that was really tricky to replace.

I found this work interesting because you learn how to be prepared for a natural disaster.

I learnt that the ash from a volcano gets into your lungs it turns into a cement-like paste 

and makes it impossible to breath. I found this helpful for my narrative because if there was a natural

disaster we would be prepared and know what to expect.

My next step is to look into more research to learn more about a natural disaster and the damage

it can do.I had fun doing this work and it wouldn't be a problem to do this kind of work again.       

Fractions of a Set

Reflection 

I was learning to explain what a unit fraction and a multiple fractions are.

I found this work easy because I know what a multiple and unit fractions are.

Next time I can try be more clearer about how I explain what they are.   

My Pepeha Art

REFLECTION.

This is my draft of my Pepeha. I was learning how to say where I come from in Maori.  

I found this work easy because I am part maori.

Next time I am going to try and put more detail. 

Leslie Burke

Reflection.

I was learning to write an obituary for the character Leslie Burke.

I found this challenging because I have never written in that kind of style before.

I enjoyed doing it because it was really interesting and I kind of enjoy a challenge.

Next time I will try fit in more about her family not just her.  

Name art

My Reflection.

This evidence shows my name art.

We did this because we fought it would be a really good way to show our name.

I found this work tricky because we needed to 

learn how to draw concentric  circles.

I also found it challenging to colour it in

because my arm got really tired.

Next time I do this kind of work I am going

to try make my work darker so it stands out more.  

Comparing characters

My Reflection.

In this evidence we had to do a ven diagram

about comparing characters.

While we were  doing this work 

I thound this work easy because I have

seen the moive and now we are reading the book.

Next time we do this sort of thing I want to challenge myself

to put more words in the middle 

making & breaking 20

My reflection.

I was learning that numbers can be made and broken up in lots of different ways. 

 I found this work interesting because I know lots of different equations. 

 My next step is to challenge myself by using brackets and different strategise. 

My Kennings poem

My reflection.

This is my kennings poem.

I was learning how to write a kennings poem.

First we had to write down things we liked.

Then we had to put them in a sentence with 3 words in it.

The first word had to star with a.

I thought this poem was fun to write but it was difficult at times.

I found it a bit difficult because it was hard to different endings.

I think I could of made it more challenging by doing more interesting words.

My Did You Ever Poem.

My reflection

This is my did you ever poem.

I was learning how to write a did you ever poem. 

I found this work easy because I followed the

 instructions and

under stood them.

While I was writing my did you ever poem it felt

straight ford but I could of used some more

 interesting verbs.

Next time I want to challenge myself by using 

more interesting

words.
