My Marvellous medicine recipe

My reflection

I was learning to make up my own marvellous medicene recipe. I found this work easy because I love cyborgs, bunnies and zillas (Godzilla humgousbiggusgiantouszilla). My next step is to MAKE IT!.

Roald Dahl GMM

My Reflection

I was learning to describe the characters in a story. We have been reading George's Marvellous Medicine.  I thought of some words to describe the antagonistic grandma. 

I found this work easy because Roald Dahl has explained the characters really really well.

My next step is to do this with the protagonist George.  

Writing language features

My reflection.

I was learning about verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. I found this tricky because I can't remember the difference. My next step is to do adjectives.

Multiplication Strategies

My Reflection

I am learning to use multiple strategies to solve a problem. I found these strategies easy.  My next step is to use these for harder problems like 96 x 5.

Speech

   Science should be a primary school subject

Science should be a primary school subject because 

If children knew more about science earlier than they would have a head start in intermediate. 

Science is biology, the study of life meaning students would know more about themselves.

Science experiments add more fun and less boring.

Students would know more about the world. Weather and all those other ones I can’t quite remember…

Some people think they should keep science for intermediate. RUBBISH! Whoever plans subjects quite possibly thinks that science is dangerous. It is NOT! 99.9% of science experiments are A.fun and B.safe. I hope I have convinced you that science is awesome and definitely should be a primary school subject.  ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

My reflection 

I have been learning to write a persuasive speech. A persuasive speech needs to have an introduction, a point of view, 3 reasons to back up your point of view and a conclusion. I think I did a good job because I had more than 3 reasons to back me up. I found it easy because I already knew what I was going to write. My next step is to write another speech with a different subject.

Daffodil diamante poem

My reflection

I was learning to write a diamante poem describing a daffodil.  I found this work interesting because it's difficulty varied from easy to hard.  The easy part was writing it, the hard was thinking of the verbs and adjectives. My next step is to make an antonym diamante poem. 

Maths olimpiad reflection

My Reflection

I was in the Maths Olympiad. The noise was humungoushugousgiantouszilla. For this reason it was hard to think. We won! (because of Braxton's ultimate thinking and my knowledge of what a fortnight was)  

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

 My Reflection

I am learning to describe what people think about a character in the story and what he/she's really like. I found this work easy because Quinn helped with everything except the An example of prejudice because... box.My next step is to do this with another character.    

My basic facts progress Ω

Decimal Place Value

Volcano art

®Ω

This is my volcano art. We used ONLY warm colours. We used drag to make the sky and sponge to make the ground. My next step is to use cold colours for something else.

Te Tuhi Art

This is my dream house.  As you can probably see, There is a tørtoiseosaurus RΩ (rating for tørtoiseosaurus) and a tørtoiseosaurus Rå. I used 2D shapes to create it.  My next step is to try use 3D shapes.

Wish You Were Here Art

 

We were learning to draw a self portrait. I didn't like it because I hate drawing people. (

Comparing Fractions

My reflection

I was learning to compare the fractions 3/4 and 6/7. I found it easy because of the strategy we were learning. You multiply the numerator with the other fraction's denominator. My step is to compare a improper fraction with a proper fraction.

Understanding a Character's Purpose

Leslie Burke

1968-1978

My special place

My reflection

I was learning to add detail to my writing using my five senses.  One thing that worked well for me was being  in my special place to get ideas.  One thing that I could do better next time is the image. Overall I think it was pretty good.

My name art

This is my name art.  We used warm and cool colours. My name is written in warm colours.

Comparing characters

My reflection

I was making a Venn diagram about Jesse and Leslie from bridge to Terabithia. I found it tricky because there weren't many personal things they had. My next step is to see which one I relate to the most.

Did You Ever poem

Did you ever,
Climb a mountain, 
At night,
Feet sliding,
Hands grabbing,
Mouth daring,
It's Awesome!

My Postcard Reflection

My reflection

I was learning to write a simple recount in the right order. I already

know how to use sequencing words but I don"t think I did well because I have none. I need to improve on using sequencing words. I found it easy because I remembered all the things I did. My next step is to use more sequencing words.

Making and breaking 20

My Reflection

I was learning that numbers can be broken up in a number of ways. I found it interesting because there are so many ways to make 20. My next step is to use simpler ideas.
