Today our class was doing a September Reflection Newsletter. We do this every month so we can reflect our learning we did during this month.
I enjoyed doing the Reflection because we get to reflect all the things we did. I also enjoyed filling in the reading and the speech bit.
I didn't find anything tricky.
Please look at my Reflection bellow!
This week our class for writing, we were presenting our speeches. We needed to do our brainstorm first. Once we finished brainstorming, we started writing our speeches. My speech topic was Why you should play a Musical instrument.
I enjoyed writing my speech topic and presenting my speech in front of the class.
I found it hard saying my speech. It took a lot of courage to get up in front of the whole class.
Here is a Screencastify of me saying my speech!
This week for writing we were learning how to structure a persuasive writing. My persuasive text topic was about why mr wolf is or is not guilty for 1st degree murder. I chose that he is guilty for 1st degree murder. I used the help of my brainstorm to list my 4 reasons why mr wolf is guilty.
I enjoyed listing my 4 reasons why mr wolf is guilty. I also enjoyed trying persuading my readers why he is guilty.
I found it difficult picking a topic because I wasn't sure which topic I should do. But I chose that he is guilty. My digital learning object shows that I can post my writing onto my blog.
Here is my writing!
Is Mr Wolf Guilty For 1st Degree Murder?
I firmly believe that Mr Wolf is Guilty of 1st degree murder. In this piece of writing I will explain 4 arguments on why Mr Wolf is guilty.
Firstly, I think it’s obvious that he is guilty because he broke and entered Grandma's house without her consent. I think he should be in prison for doing that.
Secondly, he held grandma against her will and locked up Grandma in a cupboard.
Thirdly, he impersonated Grandma by dressing up as her, so red could be tricked into believing Mr Wolf is the Grandma.
Lastly, attempted murder. The wolf tried to kill Red Riding Hood and her Grandma. But in the end the Woodchopper saved Red and Grandma.
Conclusion: I firmly believe that Mr Wolf is guilty
This week was Maori language week. Since it was Maori language week, for Cybersmart Mrs Torrie gave us a slide to do and to celebrate. We watched two videos then Mrs Torrie showed us some ways to say a Maori word.
I enjoyed going through the slides Mrs Torrie made for us, especially giving it a go saying the longest Maori word on mote.
I found it challenging saying the longest Maori word because it was my first time saying the longest Maori word. My digital learning object shows that i can embed my slide, publish to the web and post it onto my blog.
Here is my slide!
This week for maths, our class played a Te Reo quiz. We also did a shape in nature scavenger hunt. We were suppose to do the scavenger hunt outside but since it was raining this week, we did the scavenger hunt inside the classroom instead.
We needed to find the shapes around our classroom. Then we took the pictures of the shapes we needed and put it on a Google slide. I was working in a group of three.
I enjoyed finding the shapes around the classroom with my group. I also enjoyed taking the pictures of the shapes.
I found it quite challenging taking the pictures in time because I found it difficult taking some pictures of the shapes. My digital learning object shows that I can embed my slide and post it onto my blog.
Please look at my slides bellow!
This week for reading, we were learning to identify the characters and/or author's point of view. This week was also social justice week, so we were learning about Beatitudes.We needed to read two texts and a bible reading and watch one video about Beatitudes.
For our create task we had to fill in the social justice week and no girl allowed log. We also made a slide about Beatitudes and animals.
I enjoyed creating my Beatitudes slides with my partner. I also enjoyed learning about Beatitudes and reading the texts and watching a video about beatitudes.
I found it difficult to complete the no girls allowed log with my group.
Here is my social justice work!
For the past two days, we were learning about persuasive text. Because the speeches are coming up, we are writing our speeches on if Mr Wolf is guilty of first-degree murder or not. Our teacher made us a brainstorm for our persuasive text, and listed four reasons why Mr Wolf is guilty or not.
I enjoyed planning and figuring out four reasons why Mr Wolf is guilty or not. I also enjoyed listening to the Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf story.
I found it a bit tricky finding some reasons why Mr Wolf is not guilty. I think that he is mostly guilty. My digital learning object shows that I can embed my slide and post it onto my blog.
Here is my brainstorm.
Today for one of our lockdown tasks, we were learning how to say some phrases in Tongan because this week is Tongan Language Week! We watched a tutorial on how to say some words and phrases.
For the create task I used google slide and mote to record myself saying some phrases in Tongan. I put my Tongan word on the left side and the english translation on the opposite side.
I enjoyed attempting saying some words and phrases in Tongan because it was new learning for me. I also enjoyed using mote. Mote is a button where you could record yourself in Google slides.
I found it difficult pronouncing some words because I can't speak fluently in Tongan.
Please see my slides bellow!
Today one of our science/art learning tasks, we were learning about turtles. For the learn part we readed a book about "What eat Turtles" and a tutorial on how you can draw a turtle.
For our create task,we needed to draw a turtle. After I drew my turtle I coloured it in with brown, dark, brown, green and I used dark green to shade around the edges. Then I outlined my drawing with sharpie and wrote my 5 wow facts.
I enjoyed drawing the turtle, especially drawing the details on the shells. I found it hard finding some facts about turtles. I also found it difficult taking the photo on my Chromebook.
Please look at my turtle facts bellow!
Today we were learning to apply knowledge. We were also learning how to write a persuasive text and our topic was cats or dogs. We watch one video about cats and another one about dogs. After that we made a plan about cats and dogs. Then we started writing by using the help of our plan we made earlier. I chose the cat side.
I enjoyed writing a persuasive text because I haven't wrote one for a while! I enjoyed expanding my knowledge of cats and persuading people to agree with me.
I found it difficult to write a persuasive text because sometimes I find it hard to convince people to make them believe what you think is right.
Here is my plan and my persuasive writing!
Today for maths we were learning how to make a multiplication table. First we watched a video on how you can make your own multiplication table. After watching the video, we made a copy of a slide and start making our own multiplication table chart. Then we also did a Kahoot of times tables.
I liked colouring each one of the boxes and getting to know almost all my times tables! I found it a bit difficult filling in some of the times tables but I managed to fill them in. I also did pretty good with the times table Kahoot. My digital learning object shows that I can embed my slide and post it onto my blog.
Please see my times tables chart and a picture of me playing the Kahoot bellow!
Today we were learning how to make a animation by using the app Stop Motion. We made a copy of a slide then we made the plan of our animation and the materials we needed. My animation was about the cat plushy following the mouse plushy and eating it.
I liked making my Animation because I found it very interesting and pretty easy to make. I found it a bit hard moving the cat plushy onto the chair because the cat kept falling off so I just taped the cat plushy on the chair. Here is my Animation!
