Limericks

This week we have been learning about limericks. We had to search what a limerick is and make a DLO about it with an example. I'm not very good at writing limericks because I think too much about the story.

Cellphones at School

Billie, Kyra and I wrote our argument about weither cellphones should be allowed at school or not.  We did the introduction together, then split of to write our own paragraphs. I did the first paragraph about eye health, Kyra did the second about getting distracted, and Billie did the third about cyber bullying. After we read over it and edited some of the spelling, we wrote the conclusion. Here is what we have now!

Scaffold of an Exposition

Today, we have started to look at constructing a good argument. To begin, we wrote down the scaffold of an exposition to help us make our argument look good. I think this will help a lot for writing about my opinions and arguments.  Here is the Scaffold!

The Mine's Afire! Pt 1

Yesterday, we began to read The Mine's Afire. Right after reading the first chapter or so, we did a comprehension activity of what we read. Here is what I wrote.

week five term 2!

writing!

this week for writing, Mr. Wood told us to try and write a 50 word story. I found this really fun because I already had an idea of what I was going to write in my head. my first try had 79 words which is very far from 50 :") because it was so long, I had to try and shorten it. it was very hard to get rid of words and make it 50 words long and I only managed to get rid of 10. Here are my first and second tries!

numeracy

this week we also did a lot of maths work. I learnt how to subtract and add fractions. here is a slide with how to do subtraction with fractions!!

Fossils and Archaeology!
This week, Mamaku has been working on fossils and archaeology. We had to read to stories about fossils in our groups. Then we had to fill in a doc about them. Here is what I have done!

Next, I filled in a doc with questions about fossils and Archaeology. Here is a bit of what I did!
This week, I also did my word work. The words all relate to Fossils and Archaeology. Here is the definitions! In my origins, I found it funny because most of the words were Latin, French and English.
