The Marvellous Mighty, Monster Advertisement

Today for Writing, Te ika a Maui learnt how to understand the purpose and language of advertisement. Te Ika a Maui and Aotearoa group gathered around to highlight two persuading pieces of text and explain how they were convincing the readers. These are the our ideas for persuasive language. 

Word Webs

This week for Reading Mr Wong's groups learnt how to understand new words so that we could understand the text we're reading.  We read the text then listed the words that we couldn't understand on paper. As a group, we discussed what words could relate to them and what they could mean. For our task, we had to make 7 word webs using the words recorded on paper. We had to find 8 synonyms/antonyms for each word. 

Place Value

This term, Mr Ogilvie's maths groups are focusing on Place Value and Patterns. For our task, we had to answer the three questions (What is place value?, How does Place Value work? and How would you use it to solve problems?) and show what it means using shapes so that the reader understands. 

Duffy Theatre

Today was the first day of term 3. In the last block, we had Duffy Theatre. First when the classes entered the hall the performers introduced themselves and who they would be playing during the show. The show was about a boy named Duffy who was on a mission to save a man named Bill from being killed in World War 2 .  However, Duffy does face consequences  during his time in the past. In the end he does help his friend Ruby, go to school and learn how to read. The show was very funny and was very creative. 

Maths: Prototech

Today for Maths I did the Can do Prototech. I got 40 out of 40 equations right. The trickest part was the thousands. The easiest was the Addition, Division, Subtraction and Multiplication.

How to Attribute Images

Today for Cybersmart, Mr Wong taught LS1 how to attribute images. We learnt how to give credit to the author of an image. First we searched an image on google images for olympic rings. We all had to find the same picture. Then we had to visit the page, then put the image on a google drawing. Finally, we put the author and the license down. LS1 had to do their favourite sport team, food and season. 

Blogpost Requirements

Today for Cybsmart LS1 talked about the requirements for the posts we blog nearly everyday. We discussed what you would need and why. Then our task was to make a google drawing about the blog post requirements. LS1 learnt about what you put in a blogpost, blurb and what labels you put in. I think I could improve on making the content more detailed.
