Narrative

LI. To write a narrative

I rewrote The Gruffalo story and my own half of the story.

There are three guiding questions to help me change the story. They are where do they live, who is the character, and what is the gruffalo's favourite food.

I changed the owl into a hawk, I changed the tree top house into mountain top house, and I changed the gruffalo's favourite food into hawk sour cream.

Making Connections

LI. To identify and describe connections
There are three connections. They are: text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self is something that has happened in the book which that has happened to yourself. For example: in the story the mouse was brave and not scared of the other animals. 

Text to text is something that hapened in the book and also another book. For example: the mouse went on a journey to find the nut. In the story of Rahi and the patupaiarehe, Rahi goes on a risky journey to save his wife from the patupairhe.

Text to world is something that links to something we all do in the world. For example: The snake was gullible, and the owl was impolite. Impolite people treat other people rude and ignorant. Gullible people believe something that is not true.

Basic Facts Boxes

This week for basic facts boxes I did multiplication speed demon. The objective of this challenge is to answer the questions quickly. My time was 2 minutes and 35 seconds. I got 23 answers wrong. I can improve by reading the questions properly.

LI. To rapidly recall basic facts

Character trait | Fact or opinion

This week I did fact and opinion and character trait.

For fact and opinion I had to find facts about each animal in the story. Then I had write my own opinions about how the animals act in the story. 

After that I did character trait. Character trait is about inferring and how the characters act. I used adjectives to describe how the animals act. 

Setting description

A setting description describes what the place looks like, sounds like, feels like, and smells like.

To describe what it looks like, people use adjectives like: big, small, tall, or short. This will give the reader an idea of what the place looks like.

To describe what it sounds like, people use adjectives like: loud, and quiet. This will give the reader an idea of what the places sounds like.

To describe what it feels like, people use adjectives like: soft, hard, cold, or hot. This will give the reader an idea of what the places feels like.

To describe what the places smells like, people use adjectives like: old bark, or freshwater. This will give the reader an idea of what the place smells like.

The 4 settings help the reader understand what setting you are describing.

Inquiry | Risk Assesment quiz

LI: to assess the likelihood 
LI: to assess consequences

This week we learned about assessing risk.

We had to assess risk from then. There are five risk definitions. They are low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme.

The first task was that we had to pick a number out to 1 to 5. There were fifteen questions and my group and I did a discussion of what number we should pick to see if it was correct, almost or incorrect my group and I did a vote. 

After voting each question we got two correct answers, two incorrect answers, and the rest was almost. Then we corrected our answer and did the next task. The next task was we had to write our own situation from 1 to 5. After that we mixed up the answer and deleted those numbers.

This task was hard but we worked together and finished the task. 

Multiplication

Multiplication is a faster way of counting alot of the same number. For example 9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9 is counting 9 eight times. So 9 x 8 = 72.
These two slides show the 9 times tables, 7 times tables and the word problems.
