Vile Victorians

This week l was working with  Angela we were making a presentation that talked about the Vile Victorians we used a book that was about Horrible History that had facts and information about Vile Victorians. Our first sidle talks about the names that they would come up with and how Queen Victoria didn't care about children the first sidle also had a video for an example for what names the kids have and teachers.  Our next sidle talked about school punishments they went threw if they didn't go to church or messed a day of school teachers would make the worse punishments so that the child would think about what they did and so next time they come to church. The next sidle talks about the school teachers. School teachers back then were really cruel and not nice to the children also woman would get paid more then men. Our last sidle tells you facts and information about Queen Victoria a fact l found interesting was that 20th of June 1987 she was crowed queen. What I found this interesting because we got to learn about the history back in the older days. 

Advertising

This week we were learning about Advertising me and my partner Angela created it. Advertising is where you try and convince someone to buy a product you are trying to sell. We used a item from the Rugby World Cup website to advertise something. We chose the 20 union cap because it had all 20 countries who are attending the Rugby World Cup 2019. To make it look more Advertising me added more quotes and different shaped. Like adding in a quote saying don't know what team to support buy the 20 union cap. I enjoyed learning about Advertising because it could help me in the future if l want to sell something.

My favorite book by her is called The changeover because it is about how a girl is really bad and has to change over and has to become a witch to save her brother. This reading DLO talks her life and many other. 

Hour of Code

This week we were playing a coding game which was based on mine craft this is the certificate l got for doing all the levels. We first went on a site called hour of code this had a lot of coding games. We played the Mine craft one which was really fun we used the codes on the sides to move forward. turn left or right and keep going forward until goal. There would be mazes and things and we would have to use the codes to get to what we needed to. There were 12 different levels to this game and l completed them all they were easy and then got easier on the way. 

What's the poem about?

This week we made a summary about Banjo Paterson and his poem Waltzing Matilda. In this DLO we talked about the main idea in the poetry and the three main idea. I was working with maritea for this main idea DLO. We unpacked the literacy devices in the poetry that Banjo Paterson wrote. This Waltzing Matilda poetry was based in Australian. The meaning of the words (Waltzing) walking on foot, (Matilda) swag bag, (Swagman) seasonal worker, (Jumbuck) sheep, (Billabong) water hole. 

Banjo Paterson

This week for reading we were all making Summary about a Waltzing Matilda. Me and Maritea worked on this first we wrote down 20 important words, 6 most important words. Then we had to use those words to create a summary about the poem. Our summary tells others about Banjo Paterson was a famous writer who wrote the poem Waltzing Matilda. He is a rich man who liked to write poetry about people that were poor. 

Yuri Gagarin

This week for Reading l was working with Milana, Matthew, Viliami and Te poumuna we created an animation about the story of how Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go into space. We went to the stardome last week and saw a display about Yuri Gagarin we decided to use our digital creating skills to make a animation about this event. We first planned it out on a paper using the s chart this showed us the order on how he went into space, where he was from and what he went on. Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet Cosmonaut. People called him a hero and a town was named after him. When we were making our plan we were using our skimming and scanning skills to help us know the order of the event in the story. My favorite part about this story was when Vostok 1 the spacecraft launched into space and  he could see earth from outside the window. I really enjoyed making this animation about Yuri Gagarin.

Laika Summary

Today we used our skimming and scanning skills to find the information and detail we needed to write a summary. Skimming like a low flying plane. You look over the information once, (this should take about about 3 - 5 seconds). Scanning is like a helicopter, you find what it is looking for and then hover over until the information has been found. To practice these skills we created a DLO that summaries Laika's journey in Sputnik 2.

Sputnik 1, 2, 3

This week we learnt about sputnik 1, 2, 3. The first sidle talks about the first ever satellite to launch up to space sputnik 1 was a satellite that launched in 1957 and orbited the communicates to the earth and develops phone calls, TV shows and the internet. Sputnik 2 was the 2nd spacecraft to be launched into space and was launched on the 3rd of November 1957. Sputnik 3 launched May 15 1958 and was the satellite launched by the soviet union on that year. The next sidle talks about the Timeline of each sputnik and has images of what each sputnik looks like. Explanation of satellite and of how many have me launched threw out these years. This sidle talks about the 5 Wś and H this sidle tells us about when, where, why, How and What. The last sidle talks about the definition of words which are the words that we thought that were hard and needed to define.

Sharks

This morning we used keywords in a text to help us find out and be able to talk about facts about sharks. We used our ideas to write a collaborative summary of these facts.Sharks are carnivores, that means they only eat meat like sea lions, dolphins or smaller sea creatures like crabs. It is true that sharks have attacked humans but not many people know that only 12 species of sharks have ever done this. A baby shark is called a pup and a group of sharks are known as shivers, shoals or schools. You can find sharks in every ocean but they won’t be staying still because they have to keep the water moving over their gills to stay alive.

Boy on Bike

Today I have being doing Reciprocal Reading. We read a text called A Boy on a Bike. My Reading group has Me Jonthan, Alice, Jayden, Karlos, Giovanni, Chavda , Joel, Sakina, Villami, Te Pounamu.

To complete this task we were to find 2 events about national and international events that had happened recently. We used a DLO to help us write everything in. l was working with Pua, Te Pounamu, Mele, Florence, and we worked collaboratively together for this task. We chose the articles about Fiji banning nets and children's day. We answered the 5 questions and 1 how. Our group also gave our own point of views to show that we have evidence. Our group worked collaboratively together.
