Reading Tasks

This week for reading I did three types of reading tasks.  They were: table mat, making connections and synthesis.

The first thing I did for table mat was write down my prior knowledge, then I wrote down the topic of the book.

Next, I had to find 3 keywords for each box and define one of them that I had chosen.  After I found 4 facts that were written down in the book and wrote them down in the boxes.

Second was my making connections, I did 3 types of connections they were text to self, text to text and text to world.  I had to get 2 things from the book and write it down then connect it to myself.  

For the text to text we had to get another 2 things and write it down then connect it to another book that has a similar text.

And then lastly was my synthesis, I did was write down my prior knowledge into the labelled box.  Prior knowledge is your background knowledge or something that you already know.

After, I wrote down my new information which was my facts that I had read from the text of the book.  

Then, I went back to read the text and then once I finished reading the book I wrote down What my new understandings were.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

On Wednesday the whole school went to the cinemas in Silvia Park to Manaiakalani Film Festival.

We watched a series of different films that were created by schools like primary and college.  They were all amazing and creative.

Our movie was based off of Covid-19 and some other schools also had movies that were based off of Covid-19.

I have commented on Glen Taylor's Movie.  The movie was about people being ungrateful.

    

Comment Thread

Today I wrote a comment thread with O'Ninesha.

A comment thread is for practise using open questions in a conversation.  It also gives people an understanding of the activity.

O'Ninesha wrote a comment on my reading task, Table Mat, from last week. After O'Ninesha commented on my blogpost I responded with another comment.

Speech Planning | Writing

This week for writing I tried to memorise my speech and if I couldn't than I could read it off of my device.

First, I had to plan out what I was going to say like brainstorming different ideas of some different topics that we could use in our speech.

My topic for my speech was "Mufti".  I had chosen to do this topic because kids should have the right to express themselves.

Next, I needed a main website to find some facts from.  The facts were to back up my reason for my argument.

After that, I needed a solution and a summary.  The solution was to take away uniforms and letting the kids wear mufti, and the summary was ending the speech in a good way.

Maori Names

This week for Maori I translated Maori names of people into English names.

I matched the Maori names into the English names.  I matched the names that sounded like each other. 

Later, I searched the names onto the Maori Dictionary to check if they were correct. 

I enjoyed matching the English names into the Maori names because the ones that I didn't know I could learn from.

Basic Facts Boxes

Basic Facts Boxes is an activity that challenges others to solve maths problems of all operations quickly. 

There are two challenges within the Basic Facts Boxes: Speed Demon Challenge and Brain Box.  I chose to do up to 20.

Viola Vincent Reporting | SSR Selfie

 This week for SSR Selfie I wrote about book called "Viola Vincent Reporting". 

The first thing I did was read the book for 15 minutes.  Then I wrote in what title of the book was, next I wrote in who the author and illustrator was. 

Then I wrote in who the main characters where and listed three things that happen in the book.  Lastly I wrote about what I thought of the book.
