Feedback - Troublesome Jones

In reading, we have been giving feedback to our partner. After reading the text for 20 minutes, Mia and I gave our opinion of how we were while reading. Mia said that I used a lot of my comprehension skills to answer questions. I said that Mia talked a lot about the book, and asked questions when she was unsure about the text. 

Summarizing - Troublesome Jones

 

In reading, we have been learning how to summarize a text. To help Mia and I summarize, we chose 20 words that were important. We then chose 6 words that was vital. With these 6 words, we wrote sentences that summed up the text. This skill will help me in reading tests because I am able to summarize a text quickly. 

Suffragette Movement Sketchnote

Mia and I made an online sketch note using google drawing, based on our learning about the Suffrage Movement. We made a sketch note to make connections with our learning and to show what we have learned. Learning conversations helped us learn from our partner. It was definitely an important skill for this activity. 

Kate Sheppard - Mia, Jorja and Nazella

Mia, Jorja and I researched about Kate Sheppard. Kate Sheppard is the Suffragette Movement leader. 124 years ago, the movement was created so that women were able to vote in elections etc. The Suffragette's finally achieved this in 1893, but Kate Sheppard still wanted to protest for women.

Winter and Summer Solstices

This animation showcases how the Earth orbits around the sun throughout the year. While the Earth orbits around the sun, it changes the weather throughout the world. This was a fun activity because Mia and I have never made an animation with a presentation before, so we it was fun. We also learned that seasons change from the Earth's tilt or axis.   

France Celebration

This is one of the Winter Solstices celebrations in France. It is similar to Christmas but contains different traditions, such as burning a log for good luck. It was interesting because I didn't know that there was a story behind why they celebrate Christmas. Did you know that the children leave shoes by the fire place so that Saint Nicholas can bring treats and gifts? 

Omaru River

Our topic this term is Te Taiao o Tamaki. For the last couple weeks, I was with Ms. Kirkpatrick learning about ecosystems. For this activity, Mia and I read three articles related to the Omaru river sewage leak this month. 

Orienteering

Today we had orienteering, I worked with Mia and Zahra. We had 20 control pols to find all over the school. It was very fun. My time is 13:20. I think that I could improve next time. 

Japan Follow Up

This is my Japan's follow up that I did with Mia. We were learning more about Japan. I really like the game we played with the chop sticks which made us learn how to say 'Konichiwa' and 'Sayonara,' our LI is to learn about our global neighbors. 

Sub: paragraph and word wall

Paragraph with the sub prefixes

The subjects were on a submission to stop the submarine from hitting the big blue whale. The subjects were really hungry so they decided that they would go on a ride on the subway to go to ‘Mcdonalds’ and have a triple cheese burger. Mcdonald's was right next to a subfluvial .This mission was not very subnormal for anyone, when they had their Mcdonalds they submerged through the water from the toilet to finally find them standing in front of the submarine which was going to hit the whale at any second. The submarine driver was subordinated, the driver was fast asleep so the subjects had to think very fast.


These are our SpaG tasks, (spelling, punctuation and grammar) we had to find words that included the chunksub then create a paragraph with some of the words with the prefix sub. Sub means, under or below.
