Problem Solving

Today I worked together with Zane to create a DLO about the problem solving question we had this week. We both found this question really hard at first but then we figured out how to work out the problem. To solve this problem we used our fraction skills.

Tech

Today at tech the year seven and eights had their new rotations. My new rotation is now Graphics with Ms Ferguson. We had to create to google drawings. The first one was all about you. We had to create a collage using image that describes you. The second drawing was all about clocks. We had to put images of all the clocks we know on that drawing.

Metaphors

Today I have completed my DLO on metaphors. For this task I had to create a DLO and write down the sentences that were on the Writing site. I then had to highlight the metaphors in the sentences. After I have completed that activity I had to create a table and match up the first half of the sentence with the other half.

World of Maths

Yesterday LS1 and LS2 went to the hall for a maths program called World of Maths. The World of Maths program was run by a man called Charles. When we got into the hall we were split into groups and each group got to do a fun maths activity. The people apart of my group were Jack and Peter. We worked together and used the Key Competencies. The Key Competencies are thinking, relating to others, using language, symbols and text, managing self and participating. The first game we played was called Follow Me. That was my favourite game because we started with a word then it is all scrambled and we had to find out the secret sentence. The sentence was Maths is fun.

Chunky Challenge Word Art

Today I have completed my reading activity. There are three parts to it. First we had to complete the Chunky Challenge presentation. This week the chunk was est. So I had to find words I already know that have est at the start, in the middle and at the end. After that I had to find words I don't know about that have est in it. The second part was where I had to write a simple, compound and complex sentence and there needed to be at least one est word in it. The last part is where I had to choose one out of four activities to do. I decided to make a word cloud using a site I know.

Similes DLO

Today for writing my group worked on similes. Similes are used to compare using the words as or like. We first needed to create a google drawing and match up the unfinished sentences. After that we had to choose on of the sentences and put it on a different DLO. I decided to choose as fast as lightning. Here is a link to my first DLO.

Dance

Today LS2 had our first dance session. We were learning about warm ups. A warm up is something you do to prepare yourself for an activity. Warm ups are important to warm your muscles. We watched a video of a man doing warm ups. After we watched the video we had to go and partner up. I was working with Daniel. We had to come up with our own warm up routines.. With our partners we had to find some warm up videos online to get some ideas. We could also find some music to go with our warm up. The part I enjoyed was showing other groups our routines. I need to practice on being in time with my partner.
