Term 4 Highlights

This Term was great I loved it. We also made new friends which was good an marvelous teacher this year was great. We are now starting a new life. I am going to miss everything we did in room 19. All the fun we had together.   

Perimeter maths

Walt : identify and use the perimeter rule to calculate the size of Auggie’s classroom

I was able to  understand my decimals if I am converting to metres. I found this a little hard because I couldn't understand at first but then I started to figure out and I got better at understanding. After I finished I tried to solve my problem, it took me a while to find the answer. But I re checked it and I got it right I was so proud of myself. Next time I'll try use more decimals.

Wonder - Reading

I was able to understand the meanings of different types of language features eg. personification, idioms.

I also used sticky notes to help me remember what each language feature meant. This was a bit confusing but I got the hang of it.

Next time I'll try and use these language features in my writing.

Wonder

This is my Wonder portrait. I made a portrait that looks like me. We also got to pick our own precepts we think thats astonishing. This was really entertaining I really hope we could do something familiar.

Precious McKenzie

WALT: Edit my Precious McKenzie writing independently to identify errors and get my work ready for Book Creator publishing.



I was able to find the words that had red lines under them and I went and corrected my spelling mistakes. I was also to use capital letters in my Precious McKenzie ebook like name of a country a name or beginning on the senses. Next time I will try and use punctuation.

Wonder Poem

In Room 19 we are reading Wonder.

We made a Wonder Acrostic Poem and we also had to use new words that we haven't used in our writing the highlights are the word that I have never used in my writing.

The poem is about Wonder and we had to write sentences that relates to Wonder.

Next time I will try and use more year 6 words to make my writing more interesting.

Art Reflection

This is my reflection on my John Pule Art that I created for our art exhibition.

Speech 2017

Walt:Write and present a speech using the APPA speech criteria

This is my speech I really enjoyed making it. The whole class had to share it and think about my eye contact and good volume, impact on the audience and relaxed stance and more.

Speech 2017

Walt : deliberately choose words to create an effect on the audience

I was able to use persuade and emotive words.
I found this hard because this took me a few days because I keep on running out of ideas.
Next time I think I should add more emotive words.

Decimals, Percentages & Measurement Term 3 2017

Walt : use a variety of strategies to solve addition problems that involve decimal numbers.

I was able to add the hundredths first eg. right to left - hundredths, tenths, ones, tens and so on.

I found this easy because we have been learning this everyday and I'm been getting better and better at it.

I found some thing hard like add the whole number and decimal number together and convert decimal numbers to fractions.

Next time I need more work on adding the whole number and decimal number together and convert decimal numbers to fractions.

Usain Bolt

Walt: Locate and evaluate information about Usain Bolt, on the internet.

Today the class had to find information about Usain Bolt.

I found this easy because I had a buddy with me and because we did a lot of research about Usain Bolt and it was really interesting learning about him.
Next time I would like to get more information about him.
I really hope you could do this again because it was really interesting.    

Ghost - Making a Prediction

Walt : Make a prediction based on the cover and blurb of Ghost by Jason Reynolds.

My Reflection

I able to look carefully at the picture, we had think about the front cover and why we think it's yellow,we also had to found out why is there is a boy running on the front cover of ghost.

I found this easy and hard at the same time because doing research is kinda easy because I could understand it and there were a lot of facts about him, and I also found it hard because I didn't understand some of the questions.

Next time I would like to found more information about Jason Reynolds because I found it interesting.

 

Matariki Celebration - Phases of the Moon

My Refection:
I learnt that there are eight phases of the moon and I learnt what waning (it means getting smaller) and waxing meant (getting bigger).
I found this confusing because I am still learning how to figure which moon is which and I also found this amazing because I really liked learning about moons.
I hope we do this again because I really loved doing this.
Next time I will love to finish this on my first try and I would like to learn more about it.

Mini Investigation - Easter

WALT: Understand passing on messages is important.

Me and my group: Meilaniah, Sukie, Caitlin.
I liked doing this because we found a lot of amazing facts about Easter and we also found out where did the name of Easter came from. I found this really challenging because when I was researching and I didn't understand any of the words but I am hoping that we do this again.
Next time I think that I should work a little bit harder on my reading.




 

The Queen's Secret

I think the author wanted me to understand that it is important to listen when people tell you things, especially when it comes to secrets.  Telling secrets is maybe not okay because in the story the queen's secret got past on but it was the wrong message.
Next time i will try harder to understand my WALT.

Quotation Marks

  

Walt: to use advance punctuation accurately e.g quotation marks 

I was able to to find the correct sentences because I look really carefully to find the right places for the Quotation Marks. 

I found this hard because I am still learning how to use Quotation Marks .

Next time I will keep on practicing my Quotation Marks. 

A-Z of celebrations

I found this fun because it was really simple and easy for because I know all my celebrations.
I hope you do this again because it is amazing and fun.







z

Multiplication Maths

I was able to double and half my equation to my answer.
I found this Challenging because I don't know how to do my PVP and I don't know where to put my brackets.
Next I w
ill remember to brackets for strategies.

Birthdays Now and Then

WALT: Compare and contrast birthdays.

I was able to find the compare and contrast by using my knowledge of birthdays to write differences and similarities on a venn diagram.

Word Clarification

Walt:actively seek to extend my knowledge of new vocabulary

Learning Reflection:

Doing this I found new word I thought I knew the word but when I looked into the Dictionary it said something else.

Next time I will use a Dictionary and show someone who knows

Camp MERC Acrostic Poem

Walt: edit and revise my writing for clarity and impact in response to feedback

Learning Reflection

I was able to change some of my sentence because some of them didn't make sense. 

Next time I will need to read carefully and fix up my mistake.

Scrabble Info Stat

Walt : display data on histogram, tally chart
Walt : interpret information from histograms and tally marks eg. medium, mode, range, mean

• The range for the first score was 4 to 20.
• The range for the last name is score it was 2 to 21
• The range for full name score 9 to 31.
• The mode for first names scores was 8 and that is the score that appeared the most.

I found this tricky because I didn't understand but I got help from my partner.

Next I would like to do a little better and I could understand more.

  

House Captain Speech

My Kennings Poem

 Walt : distinguish between irrelevant and relevant ideas

Learning Reflection:

I was able to put relevant idea's into my kennings poem

Next time I will put in more relevant into my other storys

45 Letter Sounds

Walt : use different spelling patterns and strategies to increase my word knowledge.

There are 45 letters sounds in the English language.  Sometimes these sounds are made by one letter and sometimes they are a made by a group of letters together.  Learning these letter sounds will help me spell unknown tricky words and increase my word knowledge.

Ox

extinct
Locks
Socks
blocks
fox
tux
rex
X-ray
exciting

10 Thing About Me

Reflection:

Walt : use advanced punctuation

We have learning how to use bullet points correctly in my 10 Things About Me slideshow.  I learnt you need to :

• Place the bullet point in the margin.
• Use a capital letter after the bullet point.
• If you have written a sentence, end it with a punctuation eg. fullstop.
• Bullet points are used to create lists.
• Find the bullet points icon on the right hand side at top of the tool bar called bullet lists.
• 
  

Next time I will try and use bullet points in more of writing.

Can you guess which of my information is true and which is a lie ?
