LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about
This week we were reading a non fiction text about creatures of the deep. Creatures of the deep live in total darkness and can thrive in icy cold conditions. Some creatures have organs that glow to attract their prey. One intresting fact I learnt about the creatures of the deep was that the total darkness starts at 900 meters deep where the sea creatures live.
For art I made a consellation mountain. The consellation mountain we made included patterns and consellations.
First we made a practise copy were we could experiment with patterns etc. First we drawed the mountains. The mountains are shaped like a triange and 2 dipped shapes. We then made consellations. I made my own consellation and put some stars in among the consellations. I then drawed my patterns. Once I drawed my patterns I copied my drawings on to the real copy. I would like to thank David for teaching me how to draw beautiful art.
Practise Copy:
LI.To understand a budget is a plan for managing money
For maths we had to solve a varitey of questions to help us with understanding money and how to tell the amount of money you have. The activity I did was a family went to a musem with a budget of $45.00. After I sloved the question I worte it down in my maths to explain how I got the answer. I varitey of questions were the cost of the admitson, the cost of the food, and the cost of the activites.
This week for writing I made a moment in time poem. First we made a group moment in time poem about camp. We then made our own indivuidal poem about anything we did. My moment in time poem was about my first rugby game. I had to include what I heard, felt, wondered, and what I saw.
LI.To be wise with money
Today Marlon from the ASB getwise program come to our school to teach us how to be wise with money and make good descisions in the future. We played a game in groups were we had to make descisions about buying a trip to fiji with a budget of 1,800 dollars. A passport now or later at a higher cost, economy flight ($500) were you get no food or drinks and no entertainment or first class ($800) were you get all things that you don't get in economy, Accomidation which is a resort by the ocean ($500) + 100 foood ticket (optional) which will cover your trip for a week or a budget hotel with no food ($200), Travel insurance (optional $300), any money on a credit card (pay debt later), activites and food posioning which you have to pay a $2000 hosptital bill unless you have insurance.
In the end my group ended up with $0 and 12 enjoyment points. One thing I learnt was credit cards use the banks money and can make you in debt if you don't pay the bank at the right time.
LI. Summarising the text
For reading this week, we discussed the text about thunderstorms and any facts we found intresting
Did you know some animals can tell when a thunderstorm is coming. Stormy weather happens when the pressure in the atmisphere is low. Warm air rises and meets cool dry air, this makes clouds. One instresting fact is when we see lighting first we hear thunder later. One way you can tell a thunderstorm is near by is counting. If it takes 50 seconds to hear thunder it far away. If it takes near three seconds it is close by.
LI.To explain the text fewer words what the text is about .
This week we were reading a information source about cockroaches. We then wrote down 20 key words that were the most important that could help us write a summary. We then chose 6 most important words out of 20. After we made a summary about cockroaches. One thing I learnt is that cockroaches use there wind sensors to avoid danger.
LI. To use smart searching skills
For inquiry we are learning about simple machines.The simple machine we were researching about was a screw. First we had to gather information about a screw. Then we made a dlo about the parts that the screw is made out of and show the parts of the simple machine. The then wrote a 25 word summary about the screw.
LI.To use smart searching skills.
This week for inquiry we learnt about a Pulley. A pulley is a type of simple machine that uses a wheel with a groove in it and a rope. First we watched a video to get information about a pulley. We then made a dlo on how a pulley works and how each part of a pulley.
LI:To learn about Isaac Newton
This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and a Astronomer. We were also required to create a DLO with the following questions: Why is his work important? What did he find out? How does his work connect to simple machines?
Today I am trying to earn a silver attiude care award. I have to complete 5 tasks to earn a care award. So far iv'e completed 3 tasks. For this task I helped my friend Sasuke learn how to use written algorythm using addition. Knowing how to use written Algorythm is important for maths and can play a major part in helping you solve an answer.
Proof that I helped Sasuke with the written algorythm:
