Week 5 Reflection T3 2017

This week for writing we are learning about the whitebait life cycle and also a salmons life cycle. 
We had to use videonot.es to write down about a salmons life cycle. Then we had to write notes in a plan about a whitebait life cycle as well as creating a diagram. We also had to have one piece of free write to publish. I chose to do my writing on Endangered Species. 







For Word Work we had to found out about 5 terms that relates to a whitebait life cycle. For this we used a TIP chart which means 'Term, Information and Picture'. 


Link to TIP Chart


For reading we had to do a pre-reading activity about endangered animals. There were statements that you had to agree or disagree with. Then at the bottom there was a box where we could write down what we already knew about NZ endangered animals. 





For Maths this week we had to complete a problem solving slide the teacher had set for us. There was a couple of trial and error activities where you try and solve the answer. If you couldn't get it you could just have a really good try at it. We also had to learn the strategies that we got wrong in our diagnostics test and create a DLO about each of them.

Week 4 Term 3 Reflection 2017

For numeracy this week, because it is maths week we had a hub westamaths competition on Thursday.
We were in chosen teams for this activity and my team came 1st so we each got a chocolate bar. In my team was me, Callum, Lilly, Adi and Jemma.

For PrEP we had to start and finish our PrEP profile and letter. We had to write a letter to apply for a job in PrEP and our profile was about us. Here is my profile.

For reading we had to write down three keywords about whitebait and then find information out about that topic. My keywords were Life Cycle, Habitat and also Food. Here is the information that I found out about my keywords. 




For writing we had to get in pairs on work on our own and watch a video of Damian McKenzie kick the ball over the post. We had to write a piece of writing from two chosen perspectives. My buddy was Katelin. Our perspectives that we wrote from was a Crusaders fan and also a Chiefs fan. Here is our writing.
