Compare and Contrast

This is a venn diagram. We done this to compare and contrast the differences between two different versions of the same story. The story was the 3 Little Pigs. The were quite the same but they played with words in the modern version. This wasn’t hard because I know how to do a venn diagram.

Upside Down Art

                                  WALT copy a picture upside down.
                                  SC:
                                   I can copy a picture upside down

This wasn't too hard to do this because I didn't imagine the shape to much.  Next time I will make sure that I  don't naturally flip the picture right side up.

Boomwhacker Music Lesson



In class we had a music lesson on how to play Boomwhackers.
The teachers were Eason and 5 other year 6 students from room 19.
I really liked how the boomwhackers tuned to make the right sound.
I found it hard to hit the boomwhackers so it would make a noise.
Next I would like to be able to longer and more difficult songs.

My Reading Prediction.


I have learnt to use pictures to give detailed predictions about the story.

I like the length of my prediction because my first prediction was very short. I liked how I could also explain what I predicted.

I'm proud of how I explained what I predicted and how I described what the characters on the boat were wearing.

Basic Facts Speed Test Term1

During the week we practise our basic facts for homework.  On Friday we have a speed test that we have to try and complete 100 facts under  6.30 minutes.  
This graph shows my scores so far. 
I like this because I can record my work on the internet.  When I look at my graph I can see that I can see my score over the term.

Art Portraits

Joshua
WALT sketch a face by following grid guidelines to make each feature on the face in proportion.

First we drew a picture of what we thought we looked like.
I thought my before picture was a little bit out of proportion.

After a few art lessons we learned how to sketch a grid across the shape of our face to help us draw each feature in proportion.  

I thought my after picture was much better than the first because most of the picture was in proportion and I got the picture more accurate.

Sensory Recount





Reflection on my Recount -
  • Bold where you think you are in your learning of the sensory recount.
  • Remember you are just assessing how well you described your surroundings, using descriptive words or poetic devices.

Extended Abstract
I can help someone else to suggest ways to improve their own sensory recount.

Relational
I can add a poetic device to make it more interesting e.g simile, metaphor or alliteration.

Multistructural
I can describe using more than 2 senses in my recount.

Unistructural
I can describe using at least 2 of my senses in my recount.

Pre-structural
I need help to find words to describe what I see, feel, touch, or hear.


I have put myself at the relational stage because I described most things and I did all the senses.

My next learning step is to make my story longer by using similes, adjectives and metaphors.
