Numicon Sequence

 Hey guys! Welcome back to Term 3!!! On Monday for maths, we were given instructions to fill out the number rod track with a sequence! A sequence is like a pattern. For example:

4,8,12 etc. 

The first sequence was increasing and the numbers were:

  4, 8, 12, _,  _, 24, 28, 32, _ and _. 

The second sequence is decreasing and the numbers were:

  54, 48, _, _, 30, 24, _, _, and 6. 

The harder one in my opinion is the decreasing sequence! If you want to figure these out you must use a rule. In mathematical language, a rule is something that repeats itself. 

For example, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. You could also skip count or find the number in between 2 of your answers. Hope you enjoy my blog post and learn some sequencing!

WALT: Make a sequence of multiples. 

Do you know if there are any other strategies I could of used? If you do comment them down below! I would love if you left me some feedback after you have seen my work. I hope you guys enjoyed and had a fun holiday.

Anne Frank!

WALT: Locate and summarise important information from a range of related texts.

 Hey guys! We have been focusing on inspirational people. This week we were given the same book choices as last week. This week I chose to read about Anne Frank. I really enjoyed learning about Anne Frank and how she is informational. I think Anne  Frank was very brave for what she did. She was Jewish and was alive during World War ll. You may know about Adolf Hitler and how he pretty much started World War ll. Anne Frank and her family were scared and fled the country to hide in Holland. She lived in a house, went to school and had friends! But then Hitler came to Holland. Anne Frank hid in a attic with the help of other people. She wrote in a diary about her feelings. NOW! Before I get carried away, my 1st create task explains the whole story. I give this book a 5/5! This was one of the most interesting journal I have ever read. How would you feel if you were there for World War ll?'

Create Task 1: How do your 3 texts link together? Fill in all 3 columns with your 3 texts. How do your other 2 texts help you connect with your main story?

I have highlighted what I think connects my 2 texts with my main story.

Create task 2: Create a fact file on the person you are reading about. How is your main character a inspiration? Choose 5 inspirational things about your person and present it on a DLO.

Create task 3: Come up with your own Inspirational definition and how you can be a inspiration. Then come up and create your own inspirational poster.

How would you feel if you were in WWII? I would feel TERRIFIED! I hope you enjoyed this post and learnt something new :)

Have a nice day

Private Or Personal Information

 Hey guys! Today for Cybersmarts we have been learning about what we can and what we cant post on our blogs. The first thing we had to do was watch a video about Private and Personal information. Then we filled out a google drawing by dragging pictures onto 2 sides, Private or Personal. Then we had to write down explanations for why we put those pictures into the column. 

I enjoyed learning about what we could and could not put onto our blogs and the tasks were fun! I found thinking about what could go where hard. For example, someone that we admire.

*I give this task a 4/5. This is because I knew most of the answers. BUT some were hard! Thanks Mrs Clifford.

Do you know what is Private and Personal fro your blog?

Batman's great day

 Hey guys! This week for writing we have been focusing on compound sentences. Once we finished writing out 10 ( In my compound post ) we wrote about a photo we found on pobble. The photo was of Batman at a Bagels, Donuts and soup, shop. We could write it in any way we like. I decided to write how Batman got to the shop! I hope you enjoy and here is my work!:

Noun: Blue, Verb: Yellow and Fanboys: Green.

One foggy Saturday afternoon, 1998, in Gotham City, Batman woke up to a BAM! He threw his bat suit on and covered his face with his black mask. He sprinted outside to see the Joker laughing his head off. The Joker was skipping around throwing TNT all over Batman's island. Batman grasped his grappling hook and chucked himself to Joker. Joker was not scared nor surprised, he was expecting this. They started to fight. Batman threw the first 6 punches and Joker took it well. Mr.J (joker) grabbed his bat and tried to hit Batman but he missed multiple times. Then out of nowhere..POW! Robin flew into the battle like a butterfly. He knocked Joker out with the back kick that Batman taught him. Batman looked at Robin and was surprised he remembered his training from 1992. Batman smiled. Robin went in for a hug but Batman walked away. “ Sorry Robin” Batman said, “ But I am hungry after that fight” and he wiped his mask as if he had sweat on it. But Robin knew he just didn’t want to hug him. Batman grappled away and arrived at Bagels, Donuts and Soup. He sat down like a princess and ordered some soup. He drank it carefully yet spilt it all over himself. THE END

Have you ever spilt soup on yourself? I know I have! I hope you liked my work and found it funny! I really enjoyed writing this it was very fun! Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day

Bush fires and Tornadoes!

 Hey guys! Last week for Inquiry we got to go to different teacher for, Natural Disaster info reports! My reports are about, Bush fires and Tornadoes! I have never seen nor been in a tornado or a bush fire. But if I was I would be terrified! I enjoyed learning about how bush fires and tornadoes are formed. I hope you enjoy my work and learn something new! Here it is:

Tornadoes

By: Karaitiana

Have you ever seen a tornado in action before? Tornadoes can be one of the most powerful forces in nature and can last up to 17 hours!

 

How do tornadoes form? Underneath big thunderstorms, when dry cold air and warm wet air meet, the heavier and colder air pushes under the warm air and forces the warm air into the thunderstorm. All this fast moving air starts to spiral. Then a tornado is formed.

How do tornadoes look? They start up high in thunderstorms and connect all the way to the ground. They are also foggy and grey. They spin up to 500 km per hour but move 50 km per hour.

Did you know that there are different tornadoes. Supercell is one of the strongest. A long large tornado that is very violent. Waterspout, a tornado that forms over water and when at ground it disappears. Landspout, like a waterspout but on land. It is weak and is not associated with a thunderstorm. Gustnado, a small tornado formed at a weather front.

Now that you have read this information report, you know how tornadoes are formed, what they look like and some different types of tornadoes. Fun fact, did you know that tornadoes are stronger than hurricanes!

Have you ever seen a Natural Disaster in action before? If you have comment down below what you saw! I have seen an earthquake and thats it! How would you feel if you were caught in a Tornado or inside a bush fire?!?! I hope you enjoyed my work and learnt something about tonadoes and bush fires.

Avalanche!

 Hey guys! This week for Inquiry we have been focusing on natural disasters! We got to pick which disaster to learn about. I chose to learn about Avalanches. The process was:

1. Complete the KW in the KWL chart. ( Know, What you want to know and what you Learn )

2. Watch the video and find 2 other texts for kids then fill out the L in the KWL chart.

3.Once you have added in all of your info onto the KWL chart pick a planning template then fill out the box with 4 or 3 facts. Dont forget the topic sentence!

4. Type out your info report with the information you have learnt.

5. Show a teacher and get a buddy to check your work. With the checklist!

6. Chose one of the DLO's from the site and then copy and paste your report onto your DLO.

7. Post!
