Current Events About the Bus Strike

 

 Today the whole class looked at an article. It was about the bus strike that happened in February. We had to answer what happened, where, who, what, why and how. Also we had to answer why we think the authors are telling us about the bus strike. We had to make a group of what one group thinks about what happened and what one group thinks about what happened. I worked with Zahra, our LI is to find and summarie information about a current event. 

E-ako maths place value - exploring teens

Today for e-ako maths, I was learning about digits and place value with tens and ones.I really liked this e-ako maths session because I learnt more about digits, like their are sometimes 5 digit number for an example,87264 and sometimes there are just 1 digit numbers like 9. 

Using T.O.P.E.S to write a narrative plan

This week for writing we made a plan of our story. I worked collaboratively with Zeba to make the plan. We used the structure T.O.P.E.S, we had a picture as our porpmt and we had to write. Our L.I was to write a plan for a narrative story.

How to be a great scientist write up

This week for inquiry, everyone had to choose 2 people from different groups (group 1, group 2, group 3), I worked with Pote and Zahra. We had to choose 3 rules from how to be a great scientist and use that rule to write a whole paragraph. This is our writing. 

Collaborative Challenge:

How to be a great scientist

Title What is your Explanation about?	How to be a Good Scientist
Introduction What are you going to explain?  Why is it important for us to pay attention to what you have to say?	Scientist. A scientist must have a questioning brain, they will ask questions.They need to question every possible theory for that topic/thing.Scientists must talk about their hypothesis and other scientists must listen to the instructions so that they don’t get the experiment wrong which could lead to a success or disaster. Scientist are majorly used in 3 areas. Scientists must pay attention to what’s happening to the experiment so that they could have the right results.
Paragraph One What is the first thing a good scientist needs to do or have?  Why?  How will that help us?	A good scientist(Eg:Galileo Galilei) must evolve by using different types of methods. For example, Galileo used a telescope to have a glimpse of a random planet (Now known as Saturn). Marie Curie used radioactivity on a animal & found its effect on it  living cells. Being a scientist also means using different types of technology & methods. Technology is very different from when the great scientist were alive, but you can still use the type they could use(would obviously take long). Scientists can adapt to different types of terrain , jungle, forest & etc. Even without the modern tech, they can still work but under hard environments.
Paragraph Two What is the second thing a good scientist needs to do or have?  Why?  How will that help us?	A good scientist must know that we should clean up after themselves, just in case someone appears in the area of which the experiment was taken place. Scientist need to decide eating or not if it’s a  really bad ingredient which was lying on the table. This will help people be safe and not poisoned or not extremely intoxicated.
Paragraph Three What is the third thing a good scientist needs to do or have?  Why?  How will that help us?	A scientist must know what they’re eating, for an example sherbet. They musten never eat something which will probably have a  dangerous chemical inside them. It’s more easier to know the type of chemicals you’re using. Even using a different type of that chemical would still be terrible. Even if scientist don’t eat the ingredients, it can still injure them depending if the ingredient is toxic due to the smell.
Conclusion The conclusion sums up all the ideas and repeats a key message to end.  This could be a recommendation or a personal connection.	In this explanation, we talked about three things that good scientist do without knowing. Our first paragraph included the technology & methods scientist are good at using. The second is really similar because of the experiment theme. The last(technically, the 2nd to last)  paragraph is simple because it means 1 things children & scientist do alike. The last paragraph alone is one thing we all connect to.  Since the last two experiment involved Coke,Mentos & Sherbert, it's something which made our stomach crave in the inside.

E-ako maths place value - exploring teens

Today for maths, Mrs Anderson told us to go on a site called e-ako maths. We were learning about place value. I was making groups of ten and counting groups of ten with the ones. I was practicing the groups and the ones. In this session of e-ako maths I played with the ten frames and sticks.

PBS flag vote graph

This week we analysed the PBS flag vote from the whole school. I had to make a graph, but I first had to analyse the votes from each class, the people who wanted to keep the flag and the people who wanted to change the flag. Then we had to make a graph showing who voted what. Many people from the juniors voted for the flag to change, this happened because they liked the colors and didn't know much about the history. LI: to analyse a graph and see the information it is telling us and SC: use precenteges.

Auto Chunky Challenge - Spelling

Today we started spelling, we did this so that we could understand and read new words in chunks, because many people in reading couldn't really split the words up to read new words which they didn't understand and read properly. We had to find a partner and get a dictionary from Mrs Anderson, Zahra and I worked together. Mrs Anderson taped some papers together so that we could write words with the chunk auto. We then had two minutes to find as many words with the chunk auto. We found many like, autobiography and automate. Next we had to play some learning and fun games. I played the "Bouncing Anagram Spelling Game" from spell zone.
