Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed up demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was 4 minutes and 6 seconds.

Next time, I should try subtraction up to 100.

Fairy Tale

I finally finished my fractured fairy tale. 

First Week 1, I did three SSR Selfies based on three fairy tales. The fairy tales were Little Red Riding Hood, Maui and the Sun, and Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Next Week 2, I did a story arch. I had to do the orientation, inciting incident, rising action problems, climax, success or failure, and resolution.

Then Week 3, I split my three fairy tales into a table and put down 4 categories. They are Characters, Settings, Problem, and Solution.

Then Week 4, I did my planning. My story was mixed with WWE, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Harry Potter.

Lastly Week 6, I did my draft and my real story.

I enjoyed doing this activity because this helps my skills improve for literacy.

I completed a task called Comment Thread. A comment thread is having a conversation with someone else by commenting with positivie feedback and talking about the learning.

One of my classmates in my school commented on my blog post called Mobile Puzzle. During a comment thread, you need to have a greeting, a compliment, and a question to ask.

SSR Selfie | School Journal May 2020

I read a book called School Journal May 2020 made by Paul Mason.

First, I read the first chapter about The Longest Walk in NZ. The main topic was The Longest Walk.

1. A family called The Rapsey family has been walking for three months and one day. They’re following a route called Te Araroa.

2. Most night, they camp in their tent and sometimes they stay in tramping huts.

3. Occasionally they shower in a campground.

I did not enjoy reading this book because this reminded me of when I walked 10 KM two weeks ago and I had heaps of cramps on my legs and feet.

Mobile Puzzle

I created a mobile puzzle. A mobile puzzle has shapes and you need to figure out what the shapes are worth to create the number at the top.

First, I thought of a number that would be at the top of the mobile. The number I chose was 800.

Next, I colour coded the shapes which was 2x squares and 1x triangle and put numbers in the equal 800. Triange = 400 and Square = 200.

This activity was easy because all I had to do was to equal the 800 in those three shapes.

Homework Book Year 6 | Unit 1 Fascinating Felines

I completed unit 1 of Homework Book Year 6.

First, I answerd some questions. The questions were: Which cat would you prefer to own? Why? What is a feline?

Next, I did word power. I read the defenition of the word and matched it with the words starting with the letter C. For example: A larva which turns into a butterfly - Caterpillar.

Then, I did a couple of other tasks and moved on to something more activity. I had to draw something a kitten would play with and I drew one of those knitting balls.

I enjoyed doing this acitivty because this helps me understand everything about Fascinating Felines.

Comment Thread

I completed a task called Comment Thread. A comment thread is having a conversation with someone else by commenting with positivie feedback and talking about the learning.

Someone from a different school commented on my blog post called SSR Selfie | Ant-man. During a comment thread, you need to have a greeting, a compliment, and a question to ask.

SSR Selfie | Ant-Man

I read a fiction book about a book called Ant-Man made by Alex Irvine.

First, I read about the first couple of pages before the beginning of the first chapter. The main characters were Hank Pym, Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Mitchell Carson.

Hank Pym entered the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters and sitting in the meeting room was Peggy, Howard, and Mitchell. Pym was supposed to be in Moscow, but he got to the table and slapped down a steel and glass vial containing a red fluid. Pym is a soldier but he said to Carson that he was a scientist. Hank pym couldn’t believe while they were conversing, and said “First you turn me into your errand boy and now you want to steal my formula!” Carson replied “If only you’d protected Janet with such ferocity. Hank punched Carson in the face, He said “You mention my wife again and I’ll show you ferocity.

My favourite character is Hank Pym because during the books and the movies, he speaks specificly on the systems and other things.

What is this?

I completed an maori activity about here, there, and over there.

First, I did tenei. I looked at the images and wrote some responses. For example: He aha tenei? He pukapuka tenei.

Next, I did tena. I looked at the images and wrote some responses. For example: He aha tena? He moenga tena.

Lastly, I did tera. I looked at the images and wrotes some responses. For example: He aha tera? He tui tera.

I enjoyed doing this activity because this activity was basicly revision on what we have done over the past weeks.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed the speed demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was around 4 minutes. 

Next time, I need to beat this time and my last week’s time.

Jack and The Beanstalk | Draft

I created a rough draft of my fractured fairy tale.

First, I looked on my plan I created last week and changed a few things because I changed the a little too much. The things I changed were the characters and a few settings.

Next, I wrote down each part that happed in the real story and changed a few parts.

I enjoyed this activity because this means I have a referance to create my actual story for next week.

Fractions

I did a maths activity where I identified improper fractions.

First, I wrote down the fraction in words. For example: four thirds.

Next, I wrote down the fraction in numbers. For example: 4/3

Then, I took a screenshot of the fraction and four thirds in pizza slices.

Lastly, I wrote an explanaition. For example: All pizzas were cut into 3 pieces each (thirds). Two pieces have gone. There are 4 thirds left.

This activity was kind of hard because I didn't understand the pizza slices.

Maori Questions

I did an activity slide about maori questions.

First, I looked at the questions and see what I had to write. For example: Kei hea te totiti. Where is the sausage.

Next, I wrote down the answers. For example: Kei runga i te tohi.

Lastly, I did my own slide where I had to find an image to match the question and the answer. 

I enjoyed doing this activity because I have revised everything that we have learnt over the past year.

I completed the speed up demon challenge for multiplication.

I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

Next time, I should try division.

SSR Selfie | Pig the Pug

I read a fiction book called Pig the Pug made by Aaron Blabey.

First, I read the first couple of pages about Trevor and Pig fighting and not sharing with each other. The main characters were Trevor and Pig.

There was a Pug called Pig the Pug. He was greedy and selfish in multiple ways.He lives in a flat with a dog that is a size of a sausage his name was Trevor. But when he was nice to him, he’d just be acting. But Pig would just grumble and says “Go Away!” It might be more fun but Trevor said “If we both played together…” Pig flipped his wig. They both would fight and they won’t share, Trevor was the same way. He gathered his stuff and make a big pile, with a huff, and a puff. Once the pile was down he would howl at the top of the pile and made a satisfied smile.

I enjoyed reading this book because I'd always read this book in Australia while I was in prep.

Fractions | Improper Fractions

I learnt about improper fractions and what inproper fractions are. Imrpoper fractions is when the numerator is higher than the denominator.

First, I wrote down the fraction (numeral word). For example: 1 ¼.

Next, I represented the improper fractions by using a number line but fractions, using pizza slices, and writing a short explanaition.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I learnt about improper fractions and what they are.

Fairy Tale Fix Up | Jack and The Beanstalk

I created a plan where I changed every detail of the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

First, I thought of some good stories I could use for this plan. The story I chose for this activity was Jack and the Beanstalk.

Next, I checked on the fractured fairy tale slide on what I had to change. I had to change the characters, setting, conflict, the plot, the ending, the POV, and the create mix match. 

Lastly, I created a google doc with a table 2 x 7 and filled it in with some description.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I can't wait to connect all my ideas together to create my own fairy tale.
