Today for inquiry we were doing a August Reflection. We do this every month so we look back and see what we did during this month.
I enjoyed reflecting what I learned during this month and writing about what I did in lockdown. I found it tricky writing about the age recommendations for the book in the reading box because I didn't really know at first. My digital learning object shows that I can publish to the web and embed my reflection onto my blog. Please see my August reflection bellow!
Today for Inquiry we were learning about the Paralympics. The first task was to watch a video about what the paralympics is. After watching the video we created a slide or use the template our teacher had made for us to write in our Paralympic facts in the boxes.
I enjoyed learning about the Paralympics because when a person is differently abled, they still can be just as good as the people in the Olympic games. I found it tricky finding information about the Paralympics because the Olympics were more talked about than the Paralympics.
Please see my Paralympic facts bellow!
Today for maths we tried to escape from the math room. We listened to a video for the instructions. After that we needed to click a link to try and solve the math escape room. Then we made a copy of the math escape room answer sheet. There are 11 slides to complete.
I enjoyed answering the questions because it was challenging and fun. What I found tricky was answering some of the questions because some were very difficult especially on the last slide, it said how many pizza slices were left which was 24 but the letter was E then it would be "Mastee" and it didn't really make sense. Maybe it's how many they ate and the answer is 72 which is the letter R. Here is my math code slide!
Today for reading I was learning to apply knowledge. I was also learning about Orcas/Killer Whales. First I needed to read 2 articles and 1 video about Orcas. I get to choose one create task to complete. I chose to make a Google slide and create a informative fact about Orcas.
I enjoyed writing facts about Orcas by using the articles i've read. What I found challenging was researching about Orcas because I didn't really know any facts about them. My digital learning object shows that I can embed my slides and put it onto my blog. Please see my slides bellow!
Today for writing I was learning to structure. Our teacher made us some slides that we can choose from to express our feelings or thoughts about lockdown. I chose the life in your bubble. So basically you're just telling what you did in lockdown in Alphabetical orders.
I enjoyed filling each one of the Alphabetical order box. But It took me quite a bit of time to fill the all in. I found it quite challenging writing in a Alphabetical order because sometimes I can't find a word that starts with the exact same letter.
Please look at my work bellow!
Today for writing I was learning to structure. I was also learning about composting. First I needed to watch a video and read 2 books about composting. After that we made a copy on a Google doc and we made a plan about composting. Then we started writing about composting by using our plans.
I enjoyed writing about compost because I found it really interesting. I found it complicated to find a WOW fact about composting. My digital learning object shows that I can copy my Doc and post it onto my blog.
Please see my writing bellow:
Composting
Do you want to save the planet? Well composting is an environmentally friendly way to do it.
What is it?
Compost is good for using it in your garden because it improves soil structures. You also put yard waste, worms, kitchen scraps, bugs and water into your compost bin.
How is it made?
Compost is made from leaves, dead flowers, grass clippings and more. There are two different composts, green and brown. Greens include fresh grass clippings, picked weeds and kitchen scraps. Browns include dried grass, fall leaves, and flowers. You can stack the browns and greens in layers then put bugs, fungi and water on top.
The benefits of composting
Using compost in your garden can improve the soil and increase the amount of oxygen to plants. Composting is also good for the environment.
Wow facts
Did you know that Compost has been around for 12,000 years?!
