Narrative | Water Trouble

LI. To write a quick narrative. This week for writing we had to write a narrative about a picture we chose. The picture I chose is a image of a girl trying to get to the other rock but can't reach her goal and makes a plan to get to the other rock. I made sure to use TOPES (Title, Oreintasion, Problem, Events, and Sulution). I also used the steps to make a narrative which is- BPEDP (Brainstorm, Plan, Edit, Draft, and Publish).

Making 3D Shapes

LI: To construct models of polyhedral using everyday materials. /LI: To use the terms faces, edges and vertices to describe models of polyhedral. This week for maths we created shapes using toothpicks and blue tack. First we got the toothpicks and blue tack. Then we made the 3D shapes. Some shapes we made was a cube, a triangular pyramid and a triangular prism. We took photos of the 3D shapes. We had to make a google slide. For the google slide we had to put in our photos and make tables which had the shape name, the vertices, the faces and the edges.

MRS GREN Quiz

This week for Inquiry we have still been continuing the MRS GREN. This is the second to last week of the MRS GREN Research. At week 10 is Quiz Time! Every group has been earning credits.

We can also spend a credit. 5 credits is to have a Q/A and 10 credits is to buy a question.

Inferring

LI: to learn how to infer
Mr Wongs reading groups learned that Inferring is figuring out something by using hints from the authors, and activating your own prior knowledge. This week Mr Wongs Reading groups learned inferring. Before they did their task they played a quiz. It was each of Mr Wongs reading groups. It was Harry Vader, Percy Jackson, Maleficent and Thor. They had three sentences to infer. For their task they had three paragraphs to infer. They had to at least infer three or more.

18 Sentence Narrative & Audio book

LI: To brainstorm a narrative./LI: To write a 18 sentence narrative. This week for writing we had to write a 18 sentence narrative about a dog that got lost and we also had to make a audio book of us saying the 18 sentence narrative. First we brainstormed the narrative by going on a google form and answering questions. We had to vote what the story was going to be about. There was three choices which was a woman that was looking through a tree or a bush, a person sitting on a seat and there was waves behind him and a dog who got lost. A lot of us voted for the dog who got lost. Once we brainstormed the narrative we made a copy of a google docs to write our narrative. We worked on the orientation together. For the google docs we wrote the problem, the three events and the solution. We needed to have three sentences for each paragraph. Once we finished writing the narrative we made a audio book of us saying the narrative. We went on a website where we could record us saying the narrative. Here is the link- Online voice recorder (beta)

Think Board: Fractions

LI: To count in fractions forwards and backwards to a named whole number./LI: To recognise the whole of an object, part of an object and equal parts and their names. This week for maths we made a copy of the think board. For the think board we chose any fraction and had to write it in the middle of the think board. In the think board we had to show the fraction with equipment, show it with a picture, show it with a word story and we had to write other names for the fraction. A fraction is when a whole is cut into equal pieces/parts. The numerator is how many parts/pieces are count and the denominator is how much equal pieces/parts are divided into.
