Comparison Matrix

Kia ora,

Here is a blog blurb for the reading task 

you will be working on today with Mrs B.

This week, we are learning about the ways 

writers describe good characters in their stories. 

We had to read several texts and then create a 

Comparison Matrix to show how the Clothing, 

Personalities and Physical Appearance of the 

good characters were similar.

The hard part was: Doing the info for Sleeping Beauty

and Cinderella because the text was different to what I 

know happened in the movie so I got confused.

The easy part was: The easy part was doing the 

appearance because they were all beautiful.

Forces and Motion.

Hello bloggers,

Today I'm going to share with you
a DLO I made about Forces and motion.
We had to read a text and then pluck out
the important ideas and set them out clearly
on a new DLO.

The learning behind this was:Learn more about forces.
Be able to identify important ideas.
What was hard: It’s hard to find the main ideas.
What was easy: Finding pictures to suit the words.

Can you hear rhythm in poems?

Week 3 Reading Physical World

Hello my friends,

For reading our teachers were very 

smart and came up with a great fun 

activity that involved technology and 

books (I really liked that).

What we had to do was think of 

a question on motion or force then

make a title page that said Week 3 

Reading Physical World then write

down your question, on the next slide

what you found out in the 13 books on

the floor at the front of the class.

I loved doing the animation and working 

with my character Jarred.

I found it hard to find anything the that would

match my question (I ended up switching to google).

The learning behind this task was to read the books

and find the answers.   

Rhyme in poems

Prose vs Poetry

Hello bloggers,

Learn: The difference between prose and poetry.Create: A DLO which shows short texts sorted  into

two groups; prose or poetry and which includes

at least one image.

This is my work.

   

What is a force?

Hello Bloggers,
This Term we are doing the Physical World,
and so far I have really liked it. We've been
studying force Miss B gave us a page of useful
things on force. This is what I did with what I found out.

I liked drawing my sailboat.
I didn't really like reading the page.
The learning behind this task was to
read a page on force and do a DLO on it.

Here is what I did...

PMI:2

Hello,👋

This is my PMI (Positive, Minus, Interesting).
I did this on my birds eye view DLO.🐦

This task was to Evaluate our
learning about earthquakes using a table.😁😎

It was the easiest to do the Positive
side because it was a fun activity
that I really liked. 😌😄

I found it really hard to do the 
detail on the drawing.😕😕😕

   

Birds Eye View Earthquake

Hello, 👋

This is my DLO (Digital, Learning, Object).
It's a birds eye view after an earthquake
and the safe places that you could go to
if in an earthquake.🌏

It was really fun doing this DLO because
I LOVE doing drawings about earthquakes.😂

It was hard doing the cars and the fences
around the houses, because of all the detail.😕
 
 

The Living World

Hello,
This is my living world slideshow. For the next 5 or 6 weeks we will be choosing our own activities to learn about the living world. We did a multiple intelligences test to see what kind of learner we were. My top three ways of learning intelligences are;
1. Naturalist
2. Linguistic
3. Visual
I am looking forward to learning about Visual.
It was interesting to see what my test results were.

My Multiple Intelligences Test.

Here is the test I did on the Multiple Intelligences site. We did this so we could find out what strengths and weaknesses we have we are learning.

Christmas

Kia ora

We have been learning about  the different ways people celebrate Christmas around the world. We decided to make a Venn diagram to show things that are the same and different in New Zealand and Sweden. When this are the same, you can compare them. When things are different, you contrast them. I hope you like my diagram.

Reading task treaty of Waitangi

Reading Week 2 Term 1 2018 This week’s goals: Learn: How to recognise, ask and answer literal questions. Success criteria: Read texts and be able to think of a literal question based on that text. Use the key words What, Where, Who and When as sentence starters for your literal questions. Answer literal questions posed by other people. Create:   DLOs on which to record answers to questions/activities based on the Treaty of Waitangi. (from several sources). Scroll down for more information and links

In order to show that you have met the learning goals above you need to do 2 things with this sheet. Step 1. Find your named box and write a literal question that could be answered by someone who has just read your text about the Treaty of Waitangi. Step 1 will be completed while you are with the teacher.

Cerys: When did the British decide to protect the Maori? In the 1830s.

Amethyst ~ Who was Henry Williams? Mishanery

Moses; How many Maori rangatira signed the Waitangi treaty?

Honey - Who was William Hobson?

Reagan: Who gave William Hobson advice  about the treaty?

Annelise: What is the treaty of Waitangi? The Treaty of Waitangi is the founding document of NZ.

Charlie R: Who else wanted to take over NZ?

Kyle: When did the British announce supreme power over New Zealand?

Traeh: Who was the first chief to sign the Treaty of Waitangi?

2. Once all of you have written a literal question in your own box, you each need to make a copy of this document.  Put your copy into your Reading folder in your Google drive. Using your new document, you need to answer each literal question until every box on your new document includes a literal question and its answer.  You will complete Step 2 independently after you have left the teacher. Tomorrow you will have another session with your teacher and your work will be marked.
