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.
