Fokker D. XXI - Information Report

Last week for writing we wrote a plan about the aircraft or bird we picked. This week's writing task is to now use that plan to write an information report, narrative or an explanation. My main points in my information report was the creator/manufacturer, the parts of the aircraft and when it was built. The easiest main point was the parts of the plane because I did another task talking about the parts of a plane. For this task I used my researching skills, and skimming and scanning skills to look for key information on websites.  

Connections DLO

L.I: To make connections with prior knowledge, L.I: to gather information across texts to form an opinion. This week's task was a very simple. This week we talked about making connections about the 4 aviators we learnt about this term and a new one we picked. The aviator I chose was Amy Johnson. She had a lot of connections with all the aviators, but mostly with Jean Batten. I enjoyed learning about a new aviator. Our Must Do was to create a DLO presenting basic information about the aviator we chose and the connections with the aviators we knew about.

Fokker D.XXI - Sculpture

This week for Inquiry, our task was to make a sculpture or drawing of our plane we decided to research about. After I drew the Fokker D.XXI I researched the different parts and what they're called. I learnt a lot about different propellers and the different wings, wheels and more. I enjoyed learning and drawing the Fokker D. XXI.

Transum - Roman Numerals

Today for my Other on the must do task list, I played roman numerals. The aim of this game if to find out which centurian does not get a shield. By finding out, you need to put the correct shield on the correct centurian. I enjoyed practicing my Roman Numerals. Here is the website if you are interested. 

Transum - Addle

Today for my can dos I played Addle. Addle is a game on transum where you have to use the numbers from 1 to 14 and add them up to the right number.  This task requires, basic facts skills from 1 - 40. I enjoyed playing this game as it is frustrating at the same time. If you wish to play the site is here.

Blog Commenting
