Misery Guts



Walt: make justified predictions from the scanning of the cover, title and blurb


My Reflection:

I was able to compare the covers by looking at the most common cover then looking at the different one, the second one was completely different compared to the first one because the first one had detail of the buildings and a boy with a paint brush in his hand and the second cover had just a fish and boys on the cover. The picture and the cover gave me a little bit of a confusion and the cover did help me a little bit and I made interesting predictions such as a boy painting the shop bright orange to make his parents happy and fish getting sold as pets.

Next time I could try making predictions before I use the blurb 

A-Z Celebrations

'                                                                    My Reflection:
I think this was fun and a little bit hard because some of the letters not confusing but it was difficult to find the celebrations for me. I  but I am still working on my celebrations. I was working with Haylee and Reuben. I still need to discuss what we need to do with the rest of the alphabet

I found this activity a little bit hard because some of the letters were confusing but I will try my hardest to finish it and do my best as I can luckily I will be able to finish it.
                         

My Word Clarification Sheet



WALT:look on our own for new words to increase the amount of words we understand

                                                     My Reflection:

I was able to write words that I'm not sure of into my Clarification Sheet during SSR

I found this tricky because some of these words I could not find meanings to when I was reading the book but I did search what the meanings are and use them in my own words

Next time I will be more specific with explaining what the word means and I could try really hard and find the meanings well I am reading along the book.

My Reflection:

It was fun because I got a chance to go abseiling and the other reason is because I love heights also I enjoyed Stack ' em because it includes stacking.

It was tricky to do Stack ' em because if you stand stright you get a saw back it was pretty hard to get some sleep and to walk around  because people's stuff were on the ground and every where.

My Kennings Poem

WALT: distinguish between relevant and irrelevant ideas for my Kenning's Poem


Reflection:

I was able to put relevant ideas into my Kenning's poem by putting relevant  things about myself into my Kenning's Poem

Next time I could use different relevant idea's to describe myself

Around the world celebrations




Birthday Celebrations
Walt : identify and understand the different ways that birthdays are celebrated around the world.

My Reflection:

I was able to challenge myself by doing a country that I have experience

I found it a bit challenging because I have not much of experience with France I have spoke french but not experienced it.

Next time I could pick less complicated country that's not simple but just right for me

Multiplication Strategies




Walt : use a variety of multiplication strategies to solve problems

I was able to use repeated addition by counting how many groups there were and how many were in each group.  I was also able to use the distributive strategy by using my 1x, 2, 5x, 10, because I was able to split the groups of 7 into groups of 5 and 2.

I get confused using PVP strategy because sometimes I struggle to split the numbers into the place value eg. 15 into a 10 and 5.

The Flax Flyer


Walt : recognize and understand specific language features eg. factual and persuasive language

I was able to recognize and understand specific language features

Next time I could have more specific language features that actually make's sense for the reader

The Bat







Walt : link ideas (implicit and explicit) in the story to help me develop a greater understanding

Reflection

I was able to use the clues in the story to help me get a better understanding of what I am reading eg. they were hidden, I had to be a detective.

Next time I could look for easier clues and use for information to describe the characters.
