Maths Thinkboard

This is my maths think board this is a way to show your teacher
that you understand the strategy and also we have evidence of showing
the teacher. I found this easier and faster because it's digital but you
still have to do more things on books. Don't forget to leave a comment.

TOOLKIT DAY!!!

Greetings,

Today we had our first student toolkits. That means the students pick what they have learnt and then another school comes over and we teach them what we know like iMovie.  But other people in your school can still attend your workshops. There are three main jobs you can do. Well there is presenting where you present. There is tech team that is when there is a problem with technology and you try to solve it. Lastly, there is attending workshops and that is when you attend workshops, but only three workshops.    

Floodland Debate Yes/No

This is my opinion for the book named Floodland. This is a book we have been reading as a class and we do activities that the teachers plan. This is a activity that we did about debate and there is a question. The question is should Zoe trust Dooby, Spat and Munchkin. Here is my opinion.


Zoe should not trust the three children because they can trick her into a trap. Also they might just use her to do the work and kick her out after the work has been done. I think they just want to rob her because they're making up drama which gives me a clue that they might just want her boat. The last thing I want to say is that if  Zoe falls in there tricks then they can kill Zoe and that might be why there is no one on the island.

That Was Camp!!!

Last week we had gone to camp at long bay Marine Education Recreation Center.

We had plenty of fun and we had much more activities then you think.

This is my Remember When Poem which now will be my life remembering.

That Was Camp. 

Remember when we were doing archery and we gave it a shot? 

Remember when I was looking at the view in the early morning and it was paradise? 

That was camp. 

Remember when we were doing mountain biking and we went to a haunted house? 

Remember when we were doing stackem and the strange shaking legs feeling hoped on? 

That was camp. 

Remember when my spoon went in the stinky smelly rubbish bin when we were washing our own dishes? 

Do you remember when I was surfing and the giant waves came like a tsunami? 

That was camp.

Backward-Looking:

Inward-Looking:

What were your Learner Profile goals for Term 2? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

My learner profile, My learner profile is to be active move fast. Also being reflective on what work I have done. Think about what I have done at home is well. My goals have not been changed. I think I will need to choose achievable goals next time so I am not falling behind.

Outward-Looking:

If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your learning so far?

If I was a teacher, If I was a teacher I would say that my maths work I am just at the national standards. I think for reading I am above the national standards. Also for writing I would be at the national standards. I think I still need to work hard.

Forward-Looking:

As you look back at your learning so far, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve upon?

Forward-Looking, I think I need to try and up level my writing and make my writing more better so people can understand what I am writing. Also because I need to pay attention and make the most of the learning time.

Have You Ever Wondered Why The Moon Is Upside Down?

In Week 6 of Term 2 our class focused on how to write great explanations. We wrote about the Moon’s different phases as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great explanation will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Title: WHAT IF THE MOON WAS UPSIDE DOWN…?

Introduction:

The great asteroid (the Moon) has eight different lunar phases that change every night. WHAT!

If you want to know more about the the great moon, read on.

Moon’s orbit around the Earth:

While the Moon revolves the Earth, we see further more or less of the illuminated side. Also the Earth is orbiting the sun at the same time that the moon is orbiting the Earth. Also people truly believe that the Moon’s phases are shadows but actually the sun reflects light onto the Moon.

Phases of the Moon:

Secondly, The Moon has eight different phase. That are Waxing Crescent, New Moon, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Waning crescent, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Full Moon. These are the phases that the Moon has. Meanwhile a cool fact is that the Moon is actually a asteroid.

Time management of the Moon:

The Management is really important to the Moon. This would help the Moon’s phases that come out every night. Thirdly, the Moon managment would help while the Earth orbits the Moon and the Moon orbits the Sun. Lastly the Moon’s management is actually really confusing and those eight phases are really important.

Conclusion:

Now this journey come to an end. I hope this explanation inspires you to write your own. Also cool fact is that the Moon is actually a asteroid. If you would like to visit this website check out the link: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/moon.html
