SSR Selfie

SSR Selfie is an activity to help people with their summarising skills and ideas of a text to retell a story.

I completed my SSR Selfie on a book called 'Slime' by David Walliams

Basic facts boxes

Basic Facts Boxes is an activity that challenges peoples maths skills and how quickly they can solve equations using all four operations. 

I completed my Basic Facts Boxes activity up to 10 on addition. I completed five boxes for each in 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Here is proof:

I think I can go up to 15 or 20 next time, but this activity was challenging 

LI: to remember basic maths facts.

Comment Thread

A comment thread is a conversation that has a greeting, positive feedback and an open question. 

I started a comment thread on Emmanuel's blogpost about.  

Maths

Time is when an event is happening.

There are different ways to measure units of time.  Some examples of my maths is down below

Singing a song has different tempos/speed depending on how fast or slow someones singing it. Washing your hands mostly take about 20 seconds. 

The pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight, as it is a timekeeping element.  

The advantage of a pendulum is that it swings back and forth at a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates.

Character Description | Writing

LI- To write a character description.

Maleficent is a nasty witch who flies around casting spells on people.  She is as slim as a stick with long black hair as dark as a shadow and eyes that are emerald green.  She speaks very elegantly and she likes to wear long black dresses and dark red lipstick.  She comes from an enchanted magical forest called The Moors.  The only family she has is her friend Diablo and Aurora, her adoptive daughter.  Her biggest achievement is raising a child who isn’t hers and also learning how to love.

Reading

This week we learned to summarise.

We also needed to link our character trait and story web to help us.

I used my visualisation from week 1 to help seperate parts of the story.

I used my character inference traits to use adjectives and evidence to help me summarise in different parts.

Using good adjectives unlocks meaningful information, and I can summarise quicker.

Connecting all 3 strategies helped me to understand the story, character and keywords.

I liked doing this activity because it shows what you understand and it also makes your brain think a lot

Typing Tutor

Typing Tutor is a can-do activity that helps others improve how quickly they can type without having to look at the keyboard or being reminded of where the keys are.

I completed my Typing Tutor keys.

Commanding Conversation

The Commanding Conversations is a can-do activity that encourages people to participate in creating short conversations based off the image they see.

I completed the commanding conversations can-do activity

Here is what I wrote

Clocks

There are 3 kinds of ways or strategies you can use to explain time, 24 hours, digital and analogue.

In 24 hours after 1:00 PM it starts with 13 and goes up to 23.  In the 24 hour clock there is AM and PM, the hour comes first, then the minutes, and next the seconds.  Using AM looks like: 9:30, so it often starts with 0.

In Analogue if the minute hand points at 6 it means 30 minutes has passed, if it is pointing at the 9 45 minutes has passed, analogue can tell how many minutes has or have passed.

In digital time we often read in o'clock, it is also easy to read digital time because we can just read through the numbers!

Comment thread

A comment thread is a conversation that has a greeting, positive feedback and an open question. 

I started a comment thread on Akifa's blogpost about.  Her blogpost was very well detailed and gave a lot of information about metaphors.

SSR Selfie

I completed my SSR Selfie on a book called 'Spirit Animals'

Reading

For this weeks reading, I did a re-tell which is visualisation and fact or opinion

The re-tell is where I had to draw what I have read in the book.  It's also to show what I understand about the book.

The fact or opinion is where we try to find a fact that we have read in the book and sharing our opinion on what we think about that fact.

Basic facts box

Basic facts boxes is an activity to challenge your brain on how quick you can answer the question and you also grow more knowledge.

For this activity I went up to 5, my time was 1 minutes and 46 seconds

Here are my results.
