This term we have been learning about fractions. For this activity we had to choose a fraction and then show our fraction in different ways.
I found this task challenging but this made me think especially when I got to the number line because Mrs Prendergast said we didn't have to write the right numbers. This tricked me.
My next learning step for fractions is to do this independently and also to solve word problems that use this knowledge.
WALT: Identify features of a fairy tale and locate them in the library.
For this activity we had to find a fairy tale in our library. It took us a while to figure out where they are found in a library. This is because first we looked in the fiction section because they are made up story however they are actually found in the non fiction section.
After that we had to make a google drawing that tells the reader what a makes a fairy tale. The main thing we had to include was: Where would you find a fairy tale using the Dewey decimal system and identifying features of a fairy tale.
I found this activity fun because we had to look around in the library instead of just looking up on your Chromebook.
For this task we had to draw the setting map of the billy goat gruff. First we had to identify the different settings in the story, then we drew a map showing each of the settings. After this we had to create a key for our map to explain what all the locations in the story were and what order they came up.
I found this activity fun because you had to draw that map of your reading group story. For me this task was easy because you only had to draw the map and label the different parts.
Next time I would add more detail in my picture and get it more realistic.
#1 W.A.L.T: Use conjunctions to join our ideas together.
#2 W.A.L.T: Include descriptive detail.
This writing went good and it was also fun.
This task was ... Fun and a interesting way to describe your favourite teddy or thing.
I found this task a bit easy because you had to make sure you has some FANBOYS and
lots of describing words.
How I went with the W.A.L.T ... I think I did okay after going back about 3 times. The FANBOYS I used are, and & but
How many FANBOYS can you find in my writing?
F = For
A = And
N = Nor
B = But
O = Or
Y = Yet
S = So
Walt: Using precise nouns/adjectives to form a picture in the readers mind.
I found this activity easy, because you just had to look at a gorilla on google and look at some main parts like, arms and legs and look what they would feel or look like. My favourite sentence is... My third which is "Ivan's Finger's are like potatoes because they are short and stubby."
