Column Method

L.I To add and subtract numbers using the column method.
L.I To check our answers using other methods.

Today for maths our Must Do Task was to go on Transum and play Basic Subtraction 4 (2 digit numbers) and 5 (3 digit numbers). After that we had to screenshots of both games and get one equation from each game and had to solve it by using the column method and then after using other methods to solve the equation out. I learnt that using the column method in maths is the method where numbers are carried and borrowed. I was a bit struggling on playing the Basic Subtraction 5 game but I stall managed to get it finish. I think for next time I should challenge myself by timing how fast I use the Column Method just to check how good I am at using the Column Method.

Poetry

L.I To use a range of vocabulary to create a picture in the reader's head.

This week for Writing we did our lesson as a whole class instead of doing it in our groups. For writing we worked on writing a Poetry using Nouns , Verbs , Adjectives , and Adverbs words.

Our writing Must Do Task was to write a Poetry by our selves using the same process we used in our groups. I learnt that a adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun.

Olympic - Trainning

Today for Inquiry we got moved to different groups. I got moved to Mr Orgivelles group which is Training. Our first task was to define What Physical Activity is. So we had to find images of Physical activities we know, so it could build us a picture/definition of what being active or physical activity means. We had to attribute the images we put into our slides as well so we know if we have permission to use the person who took the pictures. We also had to introduce the 3 areas of training or Physical Activity so within the same slide we had to create a slide for Strength , Endurance and Agility. We had to attribute as many images under the three areas. We were also needed to write down a definition of what Physical Activity is and list as many Olympic Sports Under the three areas/titles. I learnt that Physical Activity is any body movement that works your muscles and requires more energy than resting. Examples of Physical Activity: Walking , running ,  dancing , swimming , yoga.  I also learnt what the three areas/titles mean. So Endurance means the ability to keep doing something difficult , unpleasant , or painful for a long time. Agility means the ability to move about quickly and easily and Strength means the ability to do things that need a lot of physical or mental effort. I was struggling on attributing the images even do I have done it a lots of times. I think for next time I should list more Olympic Sports than possible under the three areas/titles because I think it is not enough.
