Rewrite | Writing

LI. re write a narrative 

A rewrite is when you change parts of a story. I rewrited the story gruffalo.

To rewrite I changed the setting, charatcer, where the charcter meet the mouse and when the mouse describes the gruffalo's favoruite food inculding the chracters in it.

The change I made was changing the fox to a panther. The panthers setting is a oak wood house. I also changed the gruffalo favouite food from roasted fox to panthercotta. 

Making Connections | Reading

LI. To identify and describe connections.

Connections have a similar idea as something else. There are three main connections text to self, text to text and text to world. 

Text to self is when something links to something you have done. 

For example - Fox hides in the dandelions to so he could eat mouse. My connection is that I snuck past my dad to watch the warriors game. 

Text to text is when stories have similar ideas. For example - Snake chokes mouse to kill him. My connection is that in the Simpsons homer chokes bart when he gets cheeky. 

Text to world is where the text links to something people do everyday. For Example - the squirrel goes to find food for her kids. My connection is that People buy food for themselves and kids.

Setting Descrpition | Writing

LI.To write a setting description
A setting description is created by a picture of what a characters place looks like, smells like, feels like and sounds like. 

To describe what it looks like use adjectives like camofluage, small and other adjectives. 

To describe what it smells like use adjectives like revolting, mold and other adjectives. 

To describe what it feels like use adjectives like damp, constricted and other adjectives. 

To describe what it sounds like use adjectives like quiet, echo and other adjectives. 

The 4 senses can help people build connections with what is being described.

Hazards & Risks | Inquiry

LI: to assess the likelihood

For inquiry we learnt how to assess risks.

First we rated situations on risk levels like, low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme.  For example, the situation “ using a lighter to check if the lawnmower has petrol” is extreme risk level. 

                

Lastly we wrote down three situations for each risk level and what might be the consequences.

I learnt how to use common sense in risky situations and how to practise safety to avoid danger.

Inference | Reading

In reading I learnt about fact and opinion. During this activity, I learnt how to infer using prior knowledge.

Firstly, I wrote about fact and opinion. Facts are events that happened. Opinions are the inferences we make using facts.

Next, I wrote down things that the character did in The Gruffalo story. Next I wrote down the inferences we made using facts.

Finally, I created a character trait using some adjectives I came up with in my inferences about the characters.

I now understand that to get an opinion I have to use the clues and keywords.

LI: To infer.

Time | Maths

LI. To investigate units of time 

The median is found by organizing a set of numbers from least to greastest and finding the number that falls in the middle, but if there is an even set of numbers, the two numbers are added and then divided by 2. For example: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The median would be 7.

The mean is found by adding a set of numbers together then dividing the total by how many numbers there are. For example: 7+8+9= 24. 24 divided by 3 is 8. The mean would be 8.

The mode is found by organizing the set of numbers from least to greatest and then finding the number that appears the most. For example: 5, 6, 7, 7, 8. The mode is 7 because 7 appears the most times in the number set.

They measured how long a paper plane would glide for in the air. After they measured the length of their activity, they turned their times into a mean. They also found the median and mode for all of their times.

Basic facts Boxes

LI: To remember basic maths facts.

I attempted to complete division and mulitplcation under 5 minutes. I Got answers wrong with the time of 9 minutes and 33 seconds. My next goal is to get under 7 minutes and work my way down to five minutes.
