Cicadas

Kia ora bloggers,

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adults intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next we got to chose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Our create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Renderforest and it was about a book called ‘Cicadas’

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realise how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding?

This Weeks Work

Kia Ora Team 

Here is this weeks work 

MATHS 

This week for maths we have been doing angles so we put angles in a house and we also made our own robots and then we put the angles in the angles inside the shapes. 

Literacy 

In Literacy we are getting fairy tails and fracturing them. I chose to fracture Jack and The Bean Stalk. It is now called Jade And The Ladder 

This is my original and fractured

Binary

I love binary it is fun to figure out because it is like a riddle that you have to figure out. On Wednesday we got our Antilles and figure out the code for it. After that we had to pick a colour for the 0 and one for the l and lastly one for the space.

The way that you figure this out is 

1.Get your Antilles

2. Then get the number that goes with the letter for Example A1 B2 C3 Like that 

3.make a chart that looks like this 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 

4.then the number that equals with the number with you letter 

5. with the numbers you dont use that makes a 0 the numbers you do use is l 

6. You should end up with something that looks like this ll0llll00 but it will be a different code

We NEED A Change

Kia Ora Team

We are learning about global issues and one of our tasks for this is picking a picture and then write what we think is happening in that photo so here is the photo I picked.

  
What I think is happening in this photo is a homeless man saying that he does not want any of your coins all he wants is everything bad in the world to change like pollution, gender equality so we can help out this homeless man by changing all of the global issues. There are more global issues because I did not list all of them.

Here is another photo

 On this one I think that this is a little kid that is really hungry and wants anything to drink or eat so he is sitting there waiting until the man lets go from stopping the water running threw for him to get a drink

Creative Koru Art

Kia Ora Team

Lately in toroa we have been doing art around Koru art. We have done 2 types of koru art we did pastel painting on paper and when we had finished doing that we got air dry clay and made a shape of the koru we wanted. It was hard because it was air dry clay so it hardened up and made a lot of cracked places and it got really hard to make the shapes of the koru but here is a photo of my 2 koru arts

Angles

Kia Ora Team

For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles.  

We learnt about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet).

For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you  figure out if they are acute, right angle or obtuse?
