My Favourite Moments In 2017

Think like a scientist

                                                                     Reflection 

Over here there was 4 experiments the first one is  the colour changing cabbage we fist got a cup of water and put food colouring on the cup then we put the cabbage ( not the whole cabbage ) on the cup and wait for a few days the cabbage turned it the colour of the food colouring it was so cool. Then we were making careful observations of what was happening. Next we did the the Milk art first we got a mini bowl and poured milk in it then, we added drops of food colouring and got a ear bud and dipped it in the dishwasher when we put in the bowl it makes an amazing pattern, and then we wrote questions about it. Then the next one was the magic the balloon this was my favorite one this how we did it first we blew up the balloon and the we got a skewer the trick was to take the skewer and poke it through the balloon the trick was that you have to poke the skewer to the dark part of the balloon so Miss Fisher made a challenge that who ever got the most skewers in is the winner and I won! Then we did a Vocabulary that we need to explain what the words mean. Finally we did the lucky last  experiment this one was the one where you had to make a balloon rocket first we needed a string, balloon, straw and  two heavy objects first we thread the straw and tied it to the two objects and the we blow the balloon and taped it to the straw and we let go and boom it was amazing we wrote things like what we thought  what will happen and what actually happened. I did well on the the Magic balloon and the Balloon rocket. I feel proud because I did well on the observations and it was hard doing it. The challenging thing was to find words that are scientific because knew all of them so I thinked hard as I could and do some of the words I kind of knew.

Matilda - Video Transcription Matilda

                                                                  Reflection
Over here we had to look at a video and listen to sounds and what the people were saying then we had to then we had to write it in a doc and highlight who was saying and the sounds and what they were doing. I did well on listening what the people were saying and writing it in a doc it was hard sometimes when you don't hear when they say some complicated words. I am proud of my work and a bit worried because wanted them to all right but I am proud because I think I did a good job and my group too. The challenging part is to write the sounds because it is sometimes hard to hear and it is hard to describe the sound. Next time I think I have to also think about the sounds because wasn't really thinking about and I only did a few.

Matilda - Nute

      Reflection 

Over here I had to draw a nute from Matilda by reading a part from the story ( where it has no picture of the nute) and try drawing it. I did well on doing the shape of the nute. I feel proud about my work because it so hard but I still got the shape of the nute. The most challenging thing was when I have to to find the colour  of the nute because I don't really get the part they said greenish-grey it was hard to figure out.

My next step is to think about the colours hard and do the right colour for my nute.

6 Word Stories

Reflection

Over here I had to write a 6 word story in each photo, writing what the picture is showing with my group and it was very hard.

I did well on thinking some very good ideas to describe the photo.

I feel very proud because this was very hard but finally I find some 6 word stories.

I am still learning to find a very good sentence that make people get interested.

Measurement Scavenger Hunt

Reflection

Over here I had to look for something and find out what's the length or width using measuring rulers, each slide has a a number of cm and we have to guess what stuff that has that much then we have to check it with a ruler and write it on. 

I feel very proud of my work I think I did well on guessing.

This is important to me because then I can be very good at measuring and if one day in my job if have to measure something I can easily do it.

My next step is to measure longer things so I can be an expert.

DASH ? Part 3

Reflection 

Over here I had to write a DASH ? story if you don't know what I mean about DASH ?  it is a type of writing that has a meaning to it so the D means Description, A means Action, S means Speech, H means How is your character feeling and lucky last the Question Mark means a Cliff hanger or a Rhetorical question.

I can now describe the setting of the story using interesting adjectives, 

•            and  written a cliffhanger or rhetorical question to finish the paragraph also
•   shown how the character feels through their movements, reactions and body language.

I am still learning to make my  character do an action of some sort - when something happens and make my character speak to react what's happen.

The most challenging thing was to find some words to describe what was happening.

My next step is to make my character  do an action of some sort when something is happening and make my character speak to react what's happening.

Extending Vocabulary / Charlotte's web

Reflection

Over here I had to read a sentence in the top of the box and the words that has highlighted yellow I have guess what it means and then I had to find what it actually means in the dictionary and write it down.

I think I did well on guessing what I think in my opinion what it might means.

I feel proud of my work and because I thinked really hard and I almost got them all right.

The most challenging thing is to find out what it means I always tried to read the sentence again so I find out what the answers is.

My next steps are to think harder and understand more because some of them I just guessed because I thought they were very hard and I was in a rush to so next time I have to calm and think carefully.

I feel proud of my work because tried hard and thinked to find if it was true or false and  I hope I got all of them correct.

 re-reading it again when I am not quite sure about it.
