For the past week for reading, my class was learning how to identify the main points. We have been learning about Parihaka. We had to read 3 texts, and watch 2 videos about Parihaka.
We had to create a feather with words that are similar to the word 'peace'. I enjoyed adding in the words. I found thinking of the words tricky. Next time I would change how I coloured the feather.Today we made October reflections. We were learning how to reflect.
We had to write about the things we have been doing this month. I enjoyed thinking about all my achievements. I found it tricky to think of what to write. Next time I would change how I designed it.
What are you proud of this October? Have you done any of the things I wrote in my reflection? Tell me in the comments.
Here is my reflection:
For the past few weeks we have been painting. We were painting pictures of a woman named Frida Kahlo. She was a famous mexican painter who painted self portraits and in those portraits she usually painted herself with bushy eyebrows and moustaches. Did you know that she was originally was going to be a doctor, but had crippling polio, and had to stop? She ended up being a painter because of that.
We painted her with lots of brightly coloured paints, and were given instructions by our teacher. For the flower we used tissue paper and we folded the tissue paper back and forth like a fan. Then we stapled the middle and then fanned the paper out to make it look like a flower.
I enjoyed painting the picture, and making the flower. I found it tricky to keep it neat and within the lines. Next time I would change the colour of her flower.
Today we had to make a quiz about the book Come Down, Golden so far. We were learning to ask and answer questions.
We had to make the quiz have at least five questions. I was working with Mya again. We had to make it on chapters 2 and 3 of Come Down, Golden! I enjoyed working with Mya. I think that next time I would add more questions. I found it tricky to decide on what the questions would be.
Here is the link to the google form.
Today we made another slide for Come Down Golden. We had to make a google drawing of Louis being jumped at by a dog, from Chapter 1. We were learning how to infer.
Me and my partner Mya have been doing the slides in turns, where one person will do one, and the other will do the next. I was pretty tricky to get the work down in time, but we managed. I really enjoyed working with Mya. Next time I think that I would change how we set up the slides, so that they looked pretty.
Here is a link to Mya's blog. here is the google drawing we made:
This week for reading my group is reading Come Down, Golden. We were learning how to hypothesise. We had to write our hypothesis based on the cover and the blurb on the back of the book called 'Come Down Golden'.
I found it quite hard to not muck around and chat to my friends while working. I enjoyed thinking of the answers to our questions. Next time I would change how fast I got it down and who I sat with.
I hope you like reading my hypothesis. Here it is:
This week we were having a zombie apocalypse. My class and I were the only survivors.
We had to make slides explaining each day how we survived and thrived through that day. We had these diary entries written by someone else surviving and had to write down things to remember and new additions to the plot too. We were in groups of 3 to 4 and I was with my friends Camille and Sophia.
I found quite tricky to think of all the ways to survive, like how to find food, water, and shelter, because without those necessities we would die. Next time I would change how we made our weapons, because our teacher taught us even EASIER ways to make them. I really enjoyed working with my friends to survive the apocalypse, and I loved listening to Mrs Naden read us the diary entries, because they were REALLY cool.
I learnt about improvising and how to survive in the wild. I hope you enjoyed reading about my week. Here are the slides me and my friends made together:
Today is the last day of September and, like every month, we had to reflect. We had a template to fill out, and I quite enjoyed filling it in.
Next time I think I would write about a different book, because I read lots of them. I found it tricky to take the picture, because people kept getting in it and the lighting kept ruining it. Our teacher filled most of it out, but left gaps for our answers.
Here is my Reflection:
This week we have been doing our speeches. Yesterday we presented them to our teacher and she marked us. Today we got our marks, and were told if we were in the semi-finals. She was only allowed to choose three. She couldn't decide so she has chosen six, and is going to the deputy principal to get help to decide. I was one of those six, and I got the second highest marks, and my friend Camille got the highest. From our teacher Camille got 47 and I got 45. I will leave a link to her site at the end of this blog.
My speech was about Bullying and its Effects. It was really tricky to find all of the information about it. I really enjoyed presenting it to the class, even though I was really nervous. Next time I think I'd have to speak a little more slowly. The link to Camille's blog is here!
Here is my screencastify of my speech:
Today we had to write about why we think cats are better than dogs, or the other way around. I chose to write about why dogs are better than cats, because I have a pet dog named Nina. I still love cats though, but I just did dogs because I have one as a pet. We were learning how to apply prior knowledge and opinions.
First we had to write a plan, to put our ideas about why we think they are better. Then when we finished our plan, we had to get a doc, and write it down in the form of persuasive writing. We had to have at least three different main points, and explain in more complex paragraphs. After we had finished, we had to compare our success criteria with our writing, and mark down if we had done the different things or not.
I found it really tricky to decide, because like I said at the start of this blog, I have a dog named Nina, but my Nana has two cats that I love too. I actually really enjoyed writing down why I thought they were better after I decided, because I c=got to explain about why I love them so much. If we got to do this again, I'd write about cats instead, because I love both dogs and cats.
I hope you enjoy reading my report and my blog. Do you prefer dogs to cats, or cats to dogs? Do you like both of them equally? Or do you not like either? Tell me in the comments below!
Here is my report:
One of my classmates designed an escape room. Today we had to try and complete the game, and take screenshots of the different creatures we come across, and blog it on here.
First we went on the class site, and clicked the link. Then we had to take a photo of the crabs, then click on the door and answer the question to pass through. We did the same with the next room, except it was with a different animal each time. When we were finished, there was a unicorn, a giant butterfly, and a rainbow outside the escape room/rooms.
I really enjoyed playing her game, so I'll leave a link to her escape room here, so that you can go and play it too: https://edu.cospaces.io/LKU-UBA . I think that what I found tricky was sometimes the questions were math ones, and I struggled with some. Next time I think I would take a photo of the questions too, but not the answers.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post. Here are some photos of the creatures:
For one of today's lockdown lessons, we had to do an experiment with eggs. My digital learning object shows that I can upload photos and upload them to my blog.
First we had to get a large cup, and a bottle of any type of vinegar. We then had to pour enough in the cup to cover the egg completely. Then we placed the egg carefully in the cup, and put a lid on it. In twenty-four hours, we will have to take it out, rinse it off, and then it will be bounceable, and squishy.
I used malt vinegar, because that was all we had.
It was actually quite tricky to get the egg in without dropping it, because I had to fit my hand through the mouth of the glass. I really enjoyed taking the photos, and arranging the slide to look nice, because I like to make it look neat. Next time what i would change would be to have white vinegar instead, because then you would be able to see it properly.
I will post my blog about it being finished tomorrow, so tune in and be on the look out for my next blog! I hope you enjoyed reading this blog.
Here is my slideshow:
Today we had to create a fact file about the Paralympic Games. My digital learning object shows that I can create an informative fact file.
We had to make a copy of the original one, that was empty of facts, and search up five different facts to put on our fact file. We then had to take a screenshot or publish it to the web, and blog it. Before we blogged it, we had to make sure the facts were true.
I found it tricky to find multiple facts that weren't random and not true, because anybody can put anything on the internet, so I had to find multiple sources who said it was true. I enjoyed creating the fact file over all, because I found out lots of interesting things I didn't know about the Paralympics. Next time I would change the background to be more colourful.
Here is a screenshot of my fact file:
Today we did our August Reflection. Our august reflection is where we reflect on the month that has just passed, and write down our favorite things and bits of work we need to practise.
My digital learning object shows that I can reflect. It was quite tricky to put my age recommendations on the reading bit because I really didn't know at first. I actually quite enjoyed writing about what I have been writing, and what are some of my favorite things I have done from lockdown. Next time I think I would change the books that I have been reading that i put down on there, because I am always reading new things.
I found the selfie part a little tricky as well, because the light behind me get turning it all bright and unfocused. I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
Here is a photo of my August Reflection:
We have been writing Author Reports in class for the past week. We have been learning how to link between paragraphs. We had to use idea links, use the same word towards the end of one paragraph in another, and start paragraphs with things like “As well as… He also”.
Author Study
Full Name: Terry Pratchett
Date of Birth: 28 April 1948
Place of Birth: Beaconsfield, UK
Famous for: Terry Pratchet is famous for writing many books, some of which are: Wee Free Men, Hogfather, and a Hat full of sky. As well as being famous for those, he is also famous for writing The Carpet People.
Childhood: Before he wrote any of those stories, Terry Pratchett went to Holtspur School where he was bullied because he had speech difficulties. He also had a principal who thought that he could tell how well you were going to do in adulthood because of how well you could read or write. The principal kept bothering him because of this. When Terry Pratchett got his first book published, it was called Business Rivals.
Adulthood: A while after writing Business Rivals, Terry Pratchett married a lady named Lyn Pratchett, and they had a daughter named Rhianna Pratchett, who is now 44 years old. Terry Pratchett died at the age 66. He died of Alzheimer’s disease, after a long struggle with it.He has written many amazing stories, and a lot of them are very well known.
WOW Facts:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For R.E/Religious Education we have been learning about the Assumption of the Blessed Mary, mother of Jesus. The Assumption of Mary is when she died, and Jesus sent his angels to come and raise her to heaven. They had laid her in a tomb, but when the disciples came back to visit her body, she was gone.
For our task we had to create a Word Cloud and for the words we had to use words that described Mary and were about her life. I used a lot of words, but had to delete a lot because of the template. It took a while, but I’m satisfied with how it has turned out. I found it tricky to think of a lot of words to use, but luckily I had an example to get inspiration from.
Since we are in lockdown right now, I had to do the work on my own, because I can’t see anybody else. I was lucky because before I started my class and I had a google meet on our chromebooks with the teacher, Mrs Naden. She explained all about how to do our tasks, and answered our questions.
I enjoyed customising the Word Cloud and finding different words for it. Next time I think I’ll change the word colours. Here is a screenshot of my work on Word Cloud:
This week we have been reading about robots. We have been learning to infer. To infer is to read between the lines to find an answer to a question that is not in the text, but there are clues that the author has left.
For our create we had to design a little robot to solve a problem in the world right now. It didn’t have to be real, it could be made up. We wrote down the problem, then ideas about how it could solve that problem, and then draw it and write down a description of it.
My robot's purpose is to help with returning more native flora and fauna to their native habitats. We put all this on a slide show, and they were pre-designed by our teacher, Mrs Naden. We just had to fill out the pieces about our robots.
I found it tricky to draw the robot, and to write down the solutions. I really enjoyed designing what it looked like, because I got to make it cute. Next time I would colour it in, but I left my colouring pens at school, and I can’t get them because of lockdown.
Bruce Goodin
His name is Bruce Goodin. He was born on the tenth of October 1969. His hometown is Huntly, Waikato District, NZ. He is fifty one years old. When he was younger, Bruce Goodin went to Te Kauwhata College.
As well as being David Goodin’s son, famed show jumper and cross-country competitor, he is husband to Ulrika, who represented Sweden in equestrian jumping. They also have a nine year old daughter named Elizabeth, who grew up on their farm.
Bruce Goodin also grew up on a farm, and started riding at age seven. His father was a rider, and always had horses and ponies around him. At first he didn’t like the sport, because he didn’t think he was any good. But when he was in his mid-teens he started to really enjoy it.
He in fact started to enjoy the sport so much that it grew into a real passion. He went on to become a horse breeder, equestrian athlete, coach, and horse trainer. His ambition was to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, and he got to be in the team. One of his most memorable moments was when he won the team competition at the 2018 Nations Cup in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. His hero was the British show jumper, John Whitaker. Both his father and his wife have competed in equestrian events.
Bruce Goodin’s personal philosophy is this: “It is about personal development, not a quick fix. It is about things being right for the horse, not for the rider's ego.” He has now competed at five different Olympic games. Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, Sydney 2000, Barcelona 1992, and Tokyo 2021.
This week we have been learning how to skim and skan. We were given a slideshow to make a copy of and fill out the slides to make it our own. We had to read a bunch of different texts to find the information we needed. Here are the links to some of them: Japan - EPIC , It's Cool to Learn About Countries: Japan , Nintendo Video Game Designer. They are all on epic, so if you have an individual epic account from your school, you can read them.
We had to change the background, font, and text colour of each slide. I didn't end up finishing my entire slideshow because I kept getting distracted, but I will post an update on them once I am finished. It was quite challenging to finish the slides that I did do. I really enjoyed learning about different things in Japan. Next time I would change how much I did on my slides, so that I could get them done. My digital learning object shows that I can embed a slideshow onto my blog.
Here are my slides:
Today we had a cybersmart lesson, and we continued with our GameFroot. We had to continue making it. I had a bug where you couldn't move and if you clicked the up arrow the background flied off the screen, but I got some help from one of my classmates and the problems got fixed. It was hard to fix it, and I'm not finished.
Play my game here.
For the past few weeks we have been using a site called GameFroot. We have been using it for making a game with Mrs Torrie, our cybersmart teacher. She taught us how to code our games, and to put in different obstacles and things to make the game interactive. I haven't finished my game, because I haven't been able to use my chromebook, so I've had to use a school one.
My game has a weird thing where the controls don't work, even though I did the right coding, and when you click the up arrow on your controls the background goes flying away. I apologise for it not being finished, but I will blog the finished game when it is finished. It was tricky to try and fix the background bug, and in the end I couldn't figure it out, so I'm going to keep trying on that. Even though it was tricky, I still enjoyed working on it, so I will continue with it.
Have you ever coded a video game before? Have you used GameFroot? Tell me in the comments! Here is a link to my game.
For the past couple of days my class and I have been making invitations to our parents for our student led conference. We were learning how to write invitations with useful information.
FIrst we had needed to claim a slide, because they were all on one big shared slideshow. We then had to put our name at the top, and then go onto this site called Avatar Maker and make an avatar of ourselves, and then put it on the slide. We had to make it small, and then put it in the corner. Then we had to get a textbox, and write what was on the paper that we got given from the teacher. We had to start it with Dear Mum and Dad, and end it with Love/From (Whatever your name is). We also got to decorate the slide, and put a love heart or something on it.
I found it tricky to catch up to everyone, because I had been away when they started, but I got help from my friend Camille. It was super fun to decorate it, and I enjoyed choosing the colour for the background. Next time though I think I would change how I wrote it, because I would have put Love Leyla instead of From Leyla. Thanks for looking at my blog.
Here is a screenshot of my slide:
Today we did our June reflections, because tomorrow is the last day of June. We reflect on our learning so that we can remember if there is anything we are proud about, or if there is something for us to work on. We do these reflections at the end of the month, and the teacher gives us a different one each time. We have been learning to reflect.
It was tricky to get people to go onto my google drawing, and do the Classmate Complement. I found it enjoyable to write about my reading, because I got to tell you about what we were reading. Next time I would change the maths section, because I out my times table multiple times on accident. Here is a picture of my June reflection.
For a couple of days we have been learning measurements. The teacher gave us a sheet of paper with different things we have to measure. We had to measure how tall we were without our shoes on, the length of our right foot without our shoe on, our arm span, the circumference of our wrist, the circumference of our neck, and our popliteal length, which is the length from the back of our knee to the back of our heel.
I am 148.9 cm tall, my foot is 26.3 cm long, my arm span is 150.5 cm, my wrist is 15 cm, my neck is 29 cm, and my popliteal length is 39 cm. We had partners that we would measure these things for, and my partner was Camille. Here is a link to her blog. We had metre rulers and measuring tape to use, and we had chalk to mark where.
I enjoyed finding out my measurements because I never knew them before. I found it tricky to measure Camille, because I had to reach across her to reach the next place. Luckily, we got another person to hold the measuring tape/ruler. Nobody in my class knew what a popliteal length was, until we did this activity. The teacher said that we could do it independently, without her because she had testing to do, and it took us two days.
We went out to the concrete when we had to measure our foot, and marked with the chalk on it. For the popliteal length, we sat on a chair while the other person measured with the measuring tape. For the arm span, we went up to a wall and spread our arms out, so we looked like a lowercase t. Then the other person would get the measuring tape and put the start to the tip of one middle finger, then roll it out until it reached the tip of the other. For the height, we stood against the wall again and had the other person use the metre ruler to measure it.
Have you ever measured these things on you? Did you know what a popliteal length was before reading this? Tell me in the comments! Here is a picture of my sheet!
My class has been learning to write explanations. We had two groups, and one were learning to write a complex sentence, the other was aiming to include a diagram. A complex sentence is a small phrase where you put it in a larger sentence, but you can move it around.
There were lots of choices for what we could write about, but I chose snakes. I chose to write about how snakes open their jaws wide enough to swallow their prey, but I shortened that to just how snakes open their jaws so wide. I was away when everyone else started, so I had to work even faster. I got help from Kylah, one of my friends, so here is a link to her blog.
I enjoyed finding out the facts about how snakes are able to stretch their jaws, because I didn't know them before. I found it tricky to structure my writing, because I hadn't had time to finish my plan. Next time I would change my title, because it's a bit long.
Did you know how snakes open their jaws wide before you read this? Did you know about their split jaw? Tell me in the comments below!
Here is my explanation writing:
How Do Snakes Open Their Jaws So Wide
Introduction
Snakes open their jaws so wide so that they can swallow their prey whole. This is how they do it:
Why do snakes swallow their food whole?
Snakes do not have the right teeth to chew their food, so they must swallow their catch whole. Their jaws are constructed to allow them to stretch their mouths that wide.
How do snakes open their mouths so wide?
In snakes, the lower jaw is not connected like in mammals. At the front there is a split, and it’s held together by a stretchy ligament. That makes it so it can stretch, making the mouth larger.
Diagram
For the past few weeks, my class has been learning to infer. When you infer you read between the lines. My group and I were reading Theseus and the Minotaur. We read about how he became king of Athens. After reading the story, we evaluated the story. We had a doc where the entire group put down their thoughts, so I'll put it down the bottom. We also had to either create our own labyrinth, or make a WANTED poster for the minotaur. I'll put that there too.
I enjoyed making the poster because I got to design the minotaur. I found it hard to write what I agreed with and what I disagreed with on the evaluation doc. Next time I would change how I made the minotaur. I got help from my friend Camille, because I was away when we started, so here is a link to her blog: Camille S
Have you ever read the story about Theseus and the minotaur? Have you ever created a wanted poster? Tell me in the comments!
This week for reading we have been creating inventions that haven't been created yet and would help the human race in may ways.
I created a bracelet that you slip over your lower arm and it shoots out a hologram above it and it's like an arm ipad. The hologram has all the apps on it and you have to swipe on the hologram to change page. It also has a holo-robot that get shot out of the bracelet and you can tell it what to do.
It was really cool to be able to create a gadget that wasn't real, because we got to make whatever we wanted. I found it tricky to explain what it did, because I couldn't find the words. Next time I would colour it differently, because it comes in different colours.
What would you do with a holo-bracelet if you had one? Do you have any ideas about what gadgets you would make? Tell me in the comments! Here is a photo of what I created:
Privet! Yesterday we had our cybersmart teacher in. We were told to go onto this slideshow and insert photos of what the item in the photo looked like today. We learnt about copyright and past. Mrs Torrie gave us a series of slides where we had to put in the photos.
I wasn't there so I had to do it today. My friend Camille helped me and explained what I needed to do, and then I knew what to do. We would look at a photo of the item from the olden days, and then we would have to put in another photo next to it of what it looks like now.
It was pretty hard to come up with the ones for the last few, but I just asked Camille what she had done, and she gave me some ideas. I enjoyed finding out what togs and TV's and all of the other things looked like in the past because I didn't know. Next time I would choose different things to put on the slides.
Have you ever seen what olden day swimsuits looked like? Did you know what their cars had looked like before this? Tell me in the comments! Here is the link to my friend Camille's blog: https://saintmarysgiscamilles.blogspot.com/ . Here's the slideshow!
This week we have been learning to summarise. We read about the ANZACs. My group had to read four stories and watch two videos, and then we had to make a diary entry that we thought an ANZAC soldier would write, and we had to make a postcard, pretending we were fighting in the war, and that we were writing home. We had to make the postcard sound slightly more optimistic, because we wouldn't be telling our family that it was the worst thing in the world. We had to make the diary entry sound like the truth. Some people used google tools (google doc, google drawing, etc) and some did it on paper. I made mine on paper, because I thought that it would look more realistic, and the people in the first World War wouldn't have a had computers with them.
I found it pretty tricky to fill out the whole page because I didn't know what to write, and I had used a large piece of paper. I found it enjoyable to make the postcard, because I got to design it by myself. It was easy to make up the street and address, because I just popped it off the top of my head. Next time I would make the postcard have one of those images on the back.
My digital object shows that I can embed photos into my blog.
Have you ever sent a postcard to someone out of the country? What cool fact about ANZAC day do you know? Tell me in the comments! Here are the images of my post card and diary entry!
Today I have been reflecting on our trip to the Takipu Marae. On Thursday we brought our bags to school wearing mufti, and then after we had roll call, we loaded them on our bus. There were two busses, one was really big, and the other was quite small. It took half an hour to get to the marae, and then when we got there, some people welcomed us in maori for another half hour. After that we went inside and put down the mattresses and got to choose who we would sleep next to, and then we put down our bags and pillows and sleeping bags.
After we set up, we went outside and had some free time to play with our friends and do some games. Me and my friends Camille and Hannah just sat around and talked for the free time. Then we went inside and had the lunch that we had packed for ourselves, then when we were finished, we went outside and played some more. Mrs Aperahama put on some music too, and brought out the rope for a game of tug-o-war.
Then we had dinner, which was delicious burgers and spaghetti. They were amazing! Then we changed into our pijamas and had showers and got our pillows and sleeping bags, and pulled them to where we were watching the movie 'YES DAY!' and I sat next to Tessa and Halo. Sadly we didn't finish the movie because it was really late at night, and we had to go back to where we were sleeping, and you guessed it, sleep. At first it was really noisy because lots of people were talking when others were trying to sleep. But after a while everyone went to sleep.
The next day we woke up and got changed, and it was Friday. I hadn't slept much, but for some reason I wasn't that tired. After we had gotten changed and brushed our hair and done all that, we had breakfast. Breakfast was toast, cereal, fruit, and spaghetti and baked beans. We had to leave and there was a history lesson about how the marae was related to the Horouta waka, and then we got to do lots of activities outside once, and they were really fun!
We had capture the flag with Mrs Naden, but with a plastic hamburger and squeaky rubber chicken.
Then we had craft activities with Mrs Aperahama, and cup games with Miss Hickling! After that we had some people come from the museum and teach us about the maori ancestors, and we even learnt about some different star constellations! We also had some traditional maori games to play, and we went into the star dome! After that we had lunch, and they were sausages, patties, and pasta.
After lunch we had free time, and then we had to pack up our stuff, pick up the mattresses, and load our bags into the busses. We said goodbye to the marae, and got on the bus. On my bus, there were six wasps, and a boy on the bus kept aggravating them, and made another boy really scared and cry. But nobody got stung, and we arrived at school safely.
And here's a link to my friend Camille's blog: https://saintmarysgiscamilles.blogspot.com/
Here are some photos from the Marae:
Today I did my March Reflection. We had to write what we enjoyed and completed this month, along with other things. I enjoyed writing about what happened this month. I also found rating the Wild Robot Escapes really fun. I found writing the 'Slam dunk' kind of tricky because I couldn't remember what I had gotten amazing at.
I think that next time I would be more descriptive about what I had learned on my reflection. Next time I also need to work faster and be more focused on my learning.
My digital object shows that I can embed a Google Drawing on my blog.
What are you proud of that you did in March? Have you improved at anything that you used to find really hard? Tell me in the comments!
Today we had our cybersmart teacher in and she taught us how to put audio on our slides by using Mote. We had to make a slideshow about our favorite sport. I enjoyed putting my voice onto the slides. I found it tricky to write about my favorite sport. Next time I think I'd change the background of my slides.
We have been learning to set goals. The teacher gave us two sets of slides and we worked on them as a class. We had to choose a person who we wanted to be more like who was on the Horouta Waka, and then we wrote down how we were going to be more like them. I chose Hineakua, and I am going to be more like her by being more self-organized and responsible for myself.
I enjoyed writing about how I was going to improve myself this year. Next time I think that I'll explain more about how I'm going to be like Hineakua, and why I want to be more like her in my Goal Setting slide. I found it quite tricky to write how my whanau are going to help me, because they weren't there when I wrote it.
My digital object shows that I can embed slide into my blog. What are your goals? Who do you look up to that inspires your learning? I hope you liked my blog!
For the past two weeks we have been collecting data for graphs. We chose a series of options and gave them to everyone in our class. Mine were class pets. It took quite a while to ask everyone and make the graph. We have learnt to gather, sort, and display multivariate data. First we had to ask everyone in the class, and then we made tally marks of the answers. Then we had to make a graph to show the answers on google sheets. Then we had to take a screenshot of it and put them on here. I found it tricky to make the graph. It was easy to put in the information after. Next time I would change the questions to more original answers. What are your classmates pets?
This week we were learning to make connections between what we read. We did a handwriting experiment and had to show the differences between our handwriting. When me and my friend Kylah did the experiment, we learnt that all handwriting is different. Did you know that if you look closely at different peoples handwriting, there are lots of differences that you probably hadn't noticed before. I enjoyed looking at the differences in our writing, because it showed that not everyone is the same. I found it difficult to take the photos of our writing. Next time I think that I could be more descriptive of what the differences are. Down below I will put the link to my friend Kylah's blog, so you can have a look at her posts. Keep blogging!
