Maths - Word Problems

Reflection: This term I was learning how to use strategies and knowledge to solve word math problems collaboratively, and to expand more on operations, order, and strategies. I enjoyed this activity because I like maths and I really enjoy using Place value partitioning, equal addition, reversing, and rounding and compensating. But I didn't write all of the strategies to solve these problems, in my slideshow which I think is bad because I didn't achieve one of my goals. Which is to achieve and complete all of my work, but at the same time I solved them all and i'm happy with that. I think next time when I do word problems I will try to do all strategies to solve the problem.

Narrative Writing/Fractured Fairy Tale

Reflection: While doing this task, I learn't how to write my own Narrative story. Well not a whole Narrative story, because it would be plagiarism if I did say I wrote everything myself, Yet I did not. My own partly narrative story is mixed with Charles Perrault's story Red Riding Hood. In the beginning the narrative story had an original Red Riding Hood start then my writing mixed the rest of the story up entirely. I hope I will get to create and write my very own narrative story again and hopefully with many other Narratives.

Inquiry Celebrations

Reflection: During this task I was learning how to investigate and research facts about a celebration, and for this task me and my partner Ariana worked on the celebration Christmas. We both learned a lot during this and I hope I can re-do this task again but with a different celebration.

Mr Galliano's Circus - Character Description

I liked this activity because it was fun to write different unique facts about Jeanne and Lisa, but I also mainly liked this activity because I got to try find a picture. The picture I chose to use in my work was a screenshot of Cinderella's step sisters, who's emotions were the exact ones I wanted. There emotions were like raging mad like a bull who hasn't been fed by their owners for weeks. I hope to do this activity on another book in the future.

Time Capsule

If I Won Lotto

Reflection - I enjoyed making this speech, and I really enjoyed presenting it. But I also think think that I should work on my paste and my eye contact, because I think I had an good volume but I went a bit fast. But then I didn't use any eye contact either, because I don't know my speech off my heart. The next time I present a speech those are the two key things I should work on for next time.
