Comment Thread

I completed a task called comment thread. Comment thread is a task where you create a conversation with the person who commented on one of your blog post.

For my comment thread one of my teachers commented on my blog post about problem solving. In a comment thread you shoukd always have a: Greeting, a complement about their work and a nice question to ask about their work.

Here is an example of what you should do in a comment thread:

Tuesday Workout

I completed the tuesday workout. The exercises were wall sits, squats and burpees.

The first exercise I did was a. A wall sit is pretending your sitting on a chair and keeping your back straight on the wall and keeping your feet still so you don't fall and hurt yourself.

The second exercise I did was a. A squat is going up and down with your back straight and your feet still and pretending your sitting on the toilet.

The last exercise I did was burpees. Burpees are going up and down like squats but when you go up you have to jump as high as you can and for going down you have to a quick press up.

This workout was quite challenging because the wall sits were making my legs shake.

Poetry

I completed a task called Poetry. This task is where I had to find items around my house and turn them into peoms.

Next I had to think of a verb that were four lettters long. The verb I thought of was step.

Afterwards I found items around my house with colours on it which I found a blue controller, yellow banana, orange ( Fruit ) and a red apple.

This task was fun cause I got to find items around the house like a scavenger hunt.

SSR Selfie

I completed a task called SSR selfie. This task is a can do task where you have to state three facts or a paragraph about the story or book.

I read a book about how the sea works and what stuff are in the sea.

There are five main causes of pollution to sea: Nuclear waste, Rubbish and heavy metals from industry, like lead and mercury.

Lots of plastic are always in the water which kills the sea animals who live in the sea and can damage the world.

I enjoyed doing this task because I learnt about what is in the sea and what happens.

Problem Solving

I completed a task called problem solving. We were split into four different groups and had to solve a problem using place value, rounding and compensating and written algorithm.

The problem we solved was: A farm received a total of 119 millimetres of rain over a 2 month period. If 48 millimetres of rain fell on the farm in June, how many millimetres of rain fell on the farm in month 2?

First we used place value to solve the problem. first we do the ones:

119 - 48 = ??

Ones - 9 - 8 = 1

Tens - 10 - 40 is not possible so we have to add the hundred to the ten.

110 - 40 = 70.

Last step is to combine the answers. 70 + 1 = 71, So 71 millimetres fell on the farm on the second month.

This strategy is very helpful cause you can solve problems more faster.

Dance Mat Typing

I completed a task called dance mat typing. Dance mat typing is a can do activity which helps you learn to type without looking at your keyboard.

First I set up a 15 minute timer to time myself while doing the task. This time I did level two.

The second level is learning the letters R and U.

The last level I got up to was learning T and Y.

This task was a bit challenging because sometimes I keep on looking at my keyboard.
