The Mysterious forest

During lock down we have been doing lots of writing at the start of this term and now that we are back in school we had another week to finish our writing. In our writing groups we have all learned how to make a pick path story. A pick a path story is when you write a story and its up to the reader to chose a choice that will lead to another path of the story which will continue but will still have an ending. 

When Ms Wilton takes our group for writing, each group had a google doc where we all put our planning in. Each week we would add to our planning then add it to our google form after we made our planning. It probably took us about 6 weeks to do our writing but some of us managed to finish our writing after those 6 weeks. We were also allowed to add images to our pick a path story once we were done with our writing but since I didn't get to add images to my story, I still worked hard on my writing and I hope you guys will like it too!:)

Ways I can be more like Jesus

Week 6 and we are back in school. We have another 6 weeks till the end of the term and we still need to keep our boundaries. We also have to put hands sanitizer to keep our hands clean and we have to put some on our hands when we touch the door and before and after we eat. So please stay home if you are sick and please stay home if your not gonna go to school or work and please keep healthy. 

Today we are back and were mostly doing our R.E. Since at the start of the term we've been learning virtues and today we did a sheet about how we can be more like Jesus. After that we had to make a DLO about how we can be more like Jesus by showing virtues. I chose to do biteable because it is a very easy and simple to use and I have put lots of ideas on how I can be more like Jesus.

 

Ways I can be more like Jesus on Biteable.

How can you become more like Jesus?

Multiplying Larger Numbers

WALT use a range of mental strategies to solve addition problems.

This term my maths group has been learning lots of new strategies and some of them we already know and some are new and quite hard. We also had to make a DLO about one of the strategies in one of the chapters to teach others about that strategy. We could also add a quiz to our DLO to make it interactive. 

The strategy I chose to make a DLO on is multiplying larger numbers because I find it quite easy to learn and I think you will too. 

Here is the DLO I made:

 

Growing in Virtue

WALT_
- Define what is meant by virtue.
- Identify virtues that enable people to live as Jesus did.
- Recognize ways people grow in virtue.

I know I have not posted in a while and I apologize for that, I also have not been doing my R.E work that much but I am trying my best to catch up with my work for R.E and trying to finish as much work as I can. At the start of this term, we looked at what virtues were. Virtues are kinda like values but they are behaviors shown in high standards. In our class site for R.E, there was a God Strand about virtues that we had to complete if we had time. The activities were to do in order and some of them were google forms that we had to complete and one of them was a doc that we had to make a copy of and answer the questions that were in that doc. Some of the questions in the doc were about the Rainbow Fish story that we also had to watch before answering the questions in the doc. The last thing was to make a DLO using a PDF which will also help us to make our DLO. There were two things that we had to do. 

It was to make a Venn Diagram and write on one of each side about how Jesus showed that he is a virtuous person and how we people show that we are virtuous too. In the middle, we had to write about how we can be a virtuous person like Jesus. The other one had a plant with lots of leaves and raindrops on it and in those leaves and raindrops, we had to write about situations that helps people grow in virtue and how we would like to grow in virtue.

  

Chocolate Mug Cake

WALT identify the difference between a Physical and Chemical change.

This week was the first week of Term 2 and we started to do more online work since it was the start of school and there is the virus going around and we could not go outside. Instead we use hangouts to communicate with each other and our class site to see what we need to work on. We didn't have to do our work at the same time we do them at school and have morning tea or lunch at the same time we have them at school. We could choose when to do our work and today on our topic class site, there was a slideshow about Physical and Chemical changes. 

Physical change is when something is not formed into something new, for example melting an ice cube. A chemical change is when something is formed into something new, for example fireworks. There was a site where we could learn about physical and chemical change. After that we could do some experiments in the slideshow to see if its a physical or chemical change. There was four that we could choose from or even do all of them and we could make some bouncing bubbles, color changing milk, milk plastic tags or even chocolate mug cake. I chose to do the chocolate mug cake because I sometimes see people make it through social media and I badly wanted to try and make it so it was my chance and finally make it and see what it tastes like. I also got my mum to help me because I'm not really good at baking and I don't do it often. I really think that it was chemical change because it was formed into something new.

Here is the pictures that I took:

Keep safe! :)

Under the Bed

 Under the Bed 

One of the online work we could do was writing. For writing there were prompts on our class site where we could choose from to write about. One of them are about a picture of a pup lying down on the ice and there were some questions and some activities that we have to work on first then we could start writing about the prompt using a story starter that is already in the slideshow where the activities and the prompts are. The prompt that I used and worked on was a picture of a boy peeking under his bed. 

Here is what I did:

Question time:

What was the noise that Michael heard?

The noise that Michael heard was a sound of little footsteps that was disturbing him.

What did he see under the bed? 

What he saw under the bed was a huge terrifying eyes with a red long smile below his red ghastly eyes.

What will happen next?

Michael thought It was a gigantic horrifying monster but little does he know there was also something beside him that will make him more terrified.

What did he feel when he first heard the noise?

He was disturbed at first but he also felt nervous about what the sound was.

What time of day do you think it is? 

Night because it is quite dark but there is a lamp that is shining bright on the floor above his head.

Have you ever been frightened of anything?

Yes, whenever I see an insect I sometimes get scared if it's big and it crawls or flies, I just lose myself. 

Why do things seem more frightening at night?

Because it's dark and it's so quiet that you could imagine seeing a monster.

Sentence Challenge:

Scuttling, loud hissing, howling

Picture perfect:

Story Starter: 

The scuttling noise had disturbed Michael, and he’d shot bolt upright in bed. After taking a deep breath, he flung himself onto the smooth wooden boards of his bedroom floor and took a peek… 

Suddenly Michael jumped up with surprise as he saw the most terrifying smile he has ever seen. He bounced up onto his bed and covered himself with his blanket. He wanted to sleep so badly but as he was about to sleep he forgot to close his lamp and saw a huge shadow shining upon his blanket. As he turned around to his side he took a huge deep breath on a little hole he made so that he can breathe because his blanket is so thick that you can’t breathe underneath but you can kinda see through it. When Micheal turned his back to the other side, he saw that the shadow wasn’t there anymore. He took a little peek above his blanket to see if it was actually gone. It was really strange for him because he was always told that there was something under his bed but he never believed. Michael is very fearless, so he got out of bed and bent down but all he saw was his missing teddy bear. He grabbed it and glanced on the floor. Looking at it so deeply with his big eyes and saw that there was no evidence of the monster with the huge shadow he saw. It was like it never existed so Michael went back to bed and was falling asleep so fast that he forgot to look to the other side if it was there.

'Lest We Forget'

WALT Think critically when looking at information in different texts. 

While doing work online, for reading we have been learning about ANZAC and how they fought in war. In our class reading site there were some activities about ANZAC that we have to do and finish. After we have done the activities, we will need to post 2 activities in our blog. One of the activities that I did was to make a 'Lest we Forget' poster about the ANZAC war. We had to think about the information we include and images.

Here is the poster that I made:
