Smog in China

Yesterday we read an short article about smog in China. After that we read the whole text, we then had to highlight some of the text and put S-T (Self to Text, something you read that sounds like one of your life experiences), T-T (Something you read that sounds similar to something else you have read), or T-W ( Something you have read that is happening in the world now). The point of this task was to relate to other things that I've read, seen, or that has happened in the world.

Hyperbole

Today I created a DLO about hyperbole and the task that we did yesterday. This DLO shows what hyperbole is and how hyperbole can help enhance in your writing. The task we did was True or false and Fill in the spaces, my favourite one was fill in the spaces because it was challenging and it was hard to think of the words that best fits in the space. 

Team Paper Plane

Today for Maths the whole class was put into a group, in my group there was Sylis, Mere, Silivia, Harry, Thomas, and Ana. We had to pick the best planes from our team that had flew the furthest, and then combine them. We had 8 minutes to make it, then we had to chose the best person that throws the paper plane for the competition, we had Thomas throw the plane. We all had to sit down except the people that are throwing the plane. They had to throw the plane three times. Our measurements were 11.20, 14.00, and 14.01. Our teams paper plane plane went the furthest, but the other people still did well. I enjoyed doing this activity because it was a collaborative challenge, it was fun and it had some learning behind it. 

Writing quiz

Today for writing we had to do a quiz about recounts, My score was 8 out of 10. I think I done well because I got most of them write. I enjoyed doing this quiz because it was challenging.

Paper Planes - Afu

Yesterday Mrs Anderson showed us a slide show in silence, the slide show had the challenges we had to do. We were put into groups, my group was Ana, Silivia, Sylis, Thomas, Mere, and Harry, we had to work collaboratively to complete our challenge. Our challenge was to see who flew the paper plane the furthest. We had to trial to test our paper planes, and we also had to make different paper planes.    

Inquiry: Jean Batten Timeline - Afu

This week on Tuesday and Wednesday we have created a timeline about our famous flyer Jean Batten. In this timeline we had to algorithm, I chose to do a 4 and 5 algorithm. I found she became the first women that had flew over the South Atlantic interesting. I chose to put links of where I got the information from, and if those links don't work you can click on this - Link 1
