Beautiful Beatitudes

 Kia Ora everybody

Last week it was Social Justice week and we decided to finish things off with creating our own symbols for the beatitudes. I created a slide which includes all the original symbols and my own. There are eight beatitudes. Here is my work. What are the beatitudes? That’s before you look at the slide.

Wondrous Writing

 HI everybody 

Are you sacred of an animal of some sort like dogs, cats or even rabbits? So I wrote a persuasive text to try to help change that. My learning goal this week was to Vary sentence beginnings, structures and length. Write simple and compound sentences (by using conjunctions). Use some complex sentences. Use simple and compound sentences with a variety of beginnings, lengths and structures. Use some complex sentences to create pace, flow and interest. Use linking words and phrases to link some paragraphs.  

Here is my work and I hope I have persuade you that pets should not be allowed in school.

What is your favourite animal?

Pets should not be allowed in school

Are you scared of dogs or any other animal? I’m going to tell you that animals should definitely not be allowed in school.

Firstly, having an animal could distract kids from their learning. Kids need to learn. Although animals are cute they're going to be distractive. Do you want an animal distracting you all day and chewing on your stuff?

Secondly, animals need a lot of attention. Like they need to be fed and they also need exercise. If kids are doing all that, when are they going to have time to do work?

Last of all, some kids might have allergies. That wouldn’t be good. It wouldn’t help because if animals are roaming free they could have a reaction and not be able to concentrate.

You will definitely agree with me that pets should not be allowed in school. Animals will distract children from their learning, they need a lot of attention and some people might have allergies. That is why I strongly agree that pets should not be allowed in school. 

 

Hobbies

 Hello and welcome back to my blog 

In this post I will be showing my hobbies and other productive hobbies. 

This week I created a poster and my goal was to: use prior knowledge to connect to the text, make connections between texts and real life experiences, texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions. In my poster I explained what my hobbies are and what the five most productive hobbies are to have.

what is your Hobby?

Fraction Time!

 Kia Ora everybody 

Welcome to this post 

This week I was in lock down and I created this pick-a-path on fractions.  A pick-a-path is little quiz except it is created on a google slide. My goal this week was to:Use multiplication and division strategies to find fractions of whole numbers.  In my Pick-a-path I explained what strategies I was using and how to do it. Fractions are when you have a number like 48 and you have 6 friends but one friend didn't come but you are going to cut the cake for your friends into 6 pieces and you give out 5 pieces so dived 48 by 6 = 40. What do you know about fractions?

 Use multiplication and division strategies to find fractions of whole numbers. 

Grit and Perseverance

Hello everyone.

I hope everyone's  healthy.

This week in reading I learnt a bout grit my learning goal was to Think while reading, pick up new information, and come up with new ideas and thinking. This week I read an article about a NZ runner that helped train some of our best runners. We thought about what grit and perseverance is and what they mean. When your doing something hard and you just want give up but you don´t that´s called using grit and perseverance. Have you ever shown perseverance or grit in your life?

Greatest Graphs

Hi everyone 

I hope you all had a good holiday.

In this post I would like to teach you about graphs. This week in maths we created graphs. My Goal this week is to display data using a stem and leaf graph, choose an appropriate data, display using more than one variable, interpret information from graphs plan an investigation. At the start of maths we all sat in the middle space and we went team by team. When your month was called you would stand up. I am the only person in my month. After that we went off into other spaces and made a copy of the spreadsheet and created our own graphs using the data we collected. I made two different types of graphs. It took me a while to decide what graph I should do. The two graphs couldn't be the same. when I finished I had to write to statements about my graphs. Next I cheeked in with the teacher and decided to blog my google drawing that is below.

Do you know how to created a graph?
