Reflection Numeracy | W5 T3

Action Plan DLO's

This week we have been doing alot of maths buddy DLO's. We had to look at our diagnostic test, find things we didn't do so well, and find the task related to that. Then we had to do the task, and make a DLO teaching people how to do it. I did two DLO's: Multiplying decimals by 1000 and dividing decimals by 10. I made slides for both of them, and next time, I think I should make a screencastify instead. Here are my slides!!

Problem Solving

This week we also had to do a slide with problem solving tasks in them. Here is one I did. (if you can't see it that well than you can click the image and it with close up) I think that I did good, and it was hard because Alyssa was using half of the whiteboard and I was using the other half, and we only had one whiteboard marker! But in the end Alyssa went and got another one to use.

Reflection Literacy | W5 T3

About our Artist
In literacy, every group is named after an artist. My group is called Da Vinci's. We had to make a slide with facts about our Artist, and we could do it with a buddy. I did mine with Megan, who is also in my group. Here is our slide about our artist.




Fast Write
For the past few weeks, Megan and I have been making a slide that is like a game. It is called... POTATO LAND! We haven't completely finished yet, but we have done a lot. Also you should follow the instruction/warning!!

40bc Book | Kira-Kira

Characters: Katie, Lynn, Sam, mum, dad, uncle, auntie, Amber, David, Daniel.

Lynn taught Katie her first word: Kira-Kira, which means glittering in Japanese. When Katie and her family move from Iowa to Georgia, they try to look on the bright side. But that gets hard when Lynn gets really sick, and her parents have to work long hours to pay for Lynn's medicine and their new mortgage.

I would give this book a rating of  5  stars because this book is really sad and emotional, but is also happy and bright. I really love the book.

I recommend this book for any age. It's easy to read and also interesting. My mum read it and she liked it.

Literacy Reflection W2 T3

Writing
This week for writing we wrote a persuasive letter trying to persuade someone to play a game. My buddy was Megan, and my game was Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The reason that I chose that game is because she says it's stupid but she hasn't played it before, so I decided to try to make her like the game, or at least try playing it. Here is my draft letter!

Speeches
On Tuesday I did my speech. My speech was about Studio Ghibli, which is an anime based film company. I think I did good and it wasn't actually as scary as I thought it was!!

Here is my slide.

They tell her, Aiden and Nora about how they were born on the stroke of midnight and that they can see the unseen world. Soon they discover lots about the monsters, wishes and they even train to fight them. What will they learn next?

I would give this book a rating of 5 stars. I think this book is one of the best books I've read. I found it in my school library but they might have it in the town library.

I recommend this book for 9 and above

A note is left on the refrigerator door from Mum to Claire. Another note from Claire replaces it. This whole book is filled with notes from Claire and Mum. They barely have time to talk to each other since Mum is always being called to the hospital to help. One day Claire comes home to a note that changes her life forever.

I would give this book a rating of 4 stars because I really enjoyed the book and it was very moving, but I felt it was missing something.

I recommend this book for anyone that thinks they can handle it. o(╥﹏╥)o

This book is about a girl named Olivia, who lives with her auntie, uncle and cousins.

Then she gets challenged for a fight, and in the middle of it, Princess Mia comes out of a limo. Her life changes completely, from no family to way to much family.

I would give this book a rating of 5 stars because the book was really good and made me never want to put it down, then I decided to read the second book which was also great.

I recommend this book for 8 to 12 yrs old.
