maths

L.I To learn times table.

This week we had to show 7 and 9 times table useing counters and beans.

Multiplication is a faster way to add the same number over and over again.

For  example 7+7+7+7+7+7+7 is the same as 7x7 which is 49.

inquiry

LI. To demonstrate prior knowledge.


This week I have been learning about hazards and risks. 


Hazards are things that could cause harm. For example chairs and a road. Risks are  harm from hazards . For example the bike is the hazard and falling over is a risk.


As a group we had to find hazard for school, home, sport, and community. We had to pick a hazard that another group didn’t have. 


After finding the hazards we had to make posters about the risks and hazards. We had to find risks for each hazard




visualiastion

L.I To use visualiastion to understand a text.

Visualising is where you have an idea in your head then you draw it.

You can draw what you heard and imagine what it looks like and when you think you know what it looks like then you can draw it.

First I had to listen to the story and imagine what it look like so I can draw it. Once I drew it I made some more detail to it and then I listen a long to it again to make sure it was right and then I open up a Visualise slide.

We then used the Nogard (Dragon) activity to understand how we all visualise differently off the same instructions.


Writing


LI: To write a character desription.
A character description is used for describing a character from a story in detail.

A character description describres the character in the book including appearance, personality and 
experiences. Some things included in this would be body,face and hair.

Character description work best when using literal and figurative language.

Litreral is there is no hidden messages and figurative there are hidden message.

Story of Rahi and Patupaiarehe

L.I:Summarize,Visualising and inferencing.

This week we were learning to summarize. We also needed to link visualising a inferencing to help us. We filled in a stroy web to summarize each part of the story. I used my my visualising from week one to help seperate the parts of the story. I used my character inference trait to use adjective and evidence to help summarize different parts.

Using good adjectives unlocks meaning information and I can summerise quicker. 

Connecting all three strategies helped me to understand the story characters and keywords.
