Strategy Place Mat - Word Problems

L.I To comprehend word problems 

L.I To choose the ''best'' strategy to solve the problem

Today for our maths session we looked at some word problems. We looked at some word problems and had to show our strategy on how we go the answer. For our Must Do we had to pick two word problems and write down what is the question asking us to do for example Emily had $300 dollars for her birthday and she gave $100 dollars to his brother John to buy his new bike he wanted for years. The answer is asking us to subtract my clue is that it says gave which means something was given away. We also had to have 2 strategy having the same answer. After that some else had to check and reflect our work. It was a bit difficult to choosing which world problem I should do because there were a lot that was very good. I think for next time I should do harder word problems because I think these word problems were to easy.

Migration - Push & Pull Factor

This term for inquiry our topic is Migration. In this task we had to write down what a Push and Pull factor is. We also had to make a info graphic on Push Factor and Pull Factor. We also had to write about what would pull people to New Zealand  and what would push people from New Zealand. I did this with Tiava , Jericho and San Kyaw. We had fun doing this. I learnt that a Push Factor is a negative aspect that motivates one to leave their country and a Pull Factor is when Something that attracts people to go and live in a particular place. I was a bit struggling on thinking of some reasons to why people would go out from New Zealand which is the Push Factor , but I stall managed to get some ideas with my groups help. I think for next time we should make a more better info graphic.

Free Rice - English Grammar

Today I went on a website called Free Rice English Grammar. For each answer I get right I donate 10 grains of rice to the Unites Nations World Food Program. You play until you get how many grains of rice you would like to donate. Today I donated 2,000 grains of rice (wow!!!!) . I was a bit struggling when the answers were starting to get harder. I think for next time I should try and earn more grains of rice. My goal is to get 4,000 grains of rice next time.

Narrative Editing

 Before Editing

After Editing

L.I To write narrative paragraphs using Topic sentence , Details , Concluding sentence.

Today for our Writing Must Do had to take screenshots of our narrative from last weeks. We had to a screen of our narrative before editing and after editing. We used TEE (which stands for Title , Events , Ending) to put our story in paragraphs. I learnt that a Narrative is a past tense story that means something that already happened. I was a bit struggling on putting my story into paragraphs.

Inference detectives: Looking for clues

L.I To learn what inferring is.

For our Reading Must Do we were given a worksheet. In that worksheet it had 3 short stories. What we had to do was we had to infer about who the character might be , what kind of person the character is , How the character is feeling at that moment/time and why , and where and when this action is taking place. I also had to write the definition for attire and remote (not the remote you use for watching television). Doing this I learnt how to infer. I was a bit struggling on the third story because it had words that I was unsure of. I think for next time I should describe the character in the three story's better because I think I didn't describe them well by using more better words like happy I could put as thrilled which is another word for happy.

Prototech - Basic Facts Maths Practice 1.91

Today for maths I went on Protothec. There were 80 questions altogether to answer and I got 79 right which means I only got one wrong. I answered questions like Addition to 20 , Subtraction to 20 , addition and subtraction to 1000 , and multiplication and division equations as well. I had fun doing this. I was timed to do this and my time was 2 min and 34 sec. I think for next time I should try and get all the answers right and try to get less timed.
