Using our senses to make a story

This week room 12 has been writing about this picture. First we used our senses to see how it will feel being in a trench. We described what we could hear, smell, see and feel. Once we had all our describing words we picked 3 strong words and had to make 3 sentences. After that we had to use our 3 strong sentences to make a paragraph and from a paragraph we were able to write a story.

Here's an excerpt from my writing: The scared soldiers wore their protection and stood behind the sandbags with their survival kit in case they got shot.......

Magic Squares

In this task you had to add up all the numbers so that it adds up to 15. It was quite challenging and fun to do.

Feeding Billy The Bug

WALT: Match the co-ordinates on the graph.

This game was all about feeding Billy Bug, but to feed him you’ll have to know your co-ordinates. This game was easy because I knew my co-ordinates very well. The horizontal line is the x axis and the vertical is the y axis.

A Book Report About The Titanic

Titanic

Disaster at sea

This is a book that is based on a true story. The Titanic hit into an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on the night of April 14, 1912 and sank two and a half hours later. 706 died and 1517 survived.

It took nearly 3 years to build the Titanic, beginning of March 31, 1909 in Belfast. Northern Ireland.

When it was completely built it was the biggest movable object ever made. It was 882 1/2 feet long, 92 1/2 feet wide, 175 feet high, and displaced 66,000 tons of water.

I enjoyed this story so much because it has a lot of facts. It had historical facts.

My Fractions

WALT: Positioning fractions on the number line

In this game I needed to know the order/size and my equivalent fractions. I tried 5 and got 3 right. This game was challenging for a while, because I don’t know my fractions very well. Next I would really want to learn more about fractions.

The Legend Of Dick And Dom

WALT: Comparing Fractions

It was challenging when we had to find out the equivalent fraction and it was easy when we had to choose what plank to go on. We had to choose the bigger fraction that was on the plank than the one that I was on. I got some questions wrong and some right. In this game you have to know your fractions. In this game I learned more about fractions. Next I would want to know more about Geometry.

Multiplication & Division

WALT: solve problems in financial literacy.

This game is about divisions and multiplication. This was challenging until I got someone to help me to do this. After a while I got use to it and I did it myself. It got easier and easier. Next time I would like to learn more about this game.
