Kowhaiwhai patterns

Today I the Kowhaiwhai art task for the summer learning journey. 

I made 10 kowhaiwhai to represent a big wave. Then I lastly made the background blue and yellow to  represent a beach. 

Scavenger Hunt

For our first activity for the SLJ we were introduced to Nano girl. Nano is a lady who teaches people about science. 

The first activity with Nano girl was going for a scavenger hunt for materials that would be used for the next 6 weeks. 

I enjoyed doing this task because I could look around the classroom looking for different material.

Fishy False Teeth.

For the summer learning journey we did a activity called fishy false teeth. 

First we watched a video and read an article about two friends on a boat talking to each other. I made a comic strip about two friends having a conversation over who can fish. 

I enjoyed making the comic strip because I got to choose what they said.

Maths| Fractions

Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces.

A fraction of a set is a whole group divided into a smaller groups. Fractions have two parts, the  denominator and the numerator. The dominator tells the size of the fraction. For example: the size of 4/5, is fifths. The numerator shows how many pieces there are. For example: for 4/5 there are four pieces so the fraction is four fifths.

Reading | QAR

This week we did a QAR on a book called: Change our schools uniform.

First we had to read the whole book. Next we had to put the questions in the right text box. The different text boxes were: 

Right there for that you could point at the text. 

Next is think and search when the answer is in the book but in different places. 

Third is author and you when the answer is not in the text and you have to use you background knowledge.

The last box is on my own and you come up with a answer using you own knowledge.

This task was kinda of hard because I didn't know where all of the questions needed to go. I also like this task because I learnt learning new techniques and strategies.  

LI. To identify the main ideas.
