ANZAC

This week for reading my goal was Identify at least one important idea and justify why it is important.
Identify some text events and features, and discuss what they make the reader think about.  For my create task this week I have made a DLO of what I read and what I thought where the important ideas.  I learnt that New Zealand is a very long away from Gallipoli.  I also learnt a large number of the New Zealand people at the time went to war.  It would be the same as the all of the people who live in Christchurch and Dunedin going to war today, and only half coming back.  The war went for 5 years, I think that is a really long time. 


Did anyone in your family went to war?

What have I done for writing?

This week for writing my goal is drawing on knowledge of how words work.  I needed to spell a range of personal and high frequency words correctly. What I have done for my create task is that I have made a google drawing on suffix and plurals. I have done five suffix and five plurals I think that the plurals was harder than the suffix.

Do you know what plurals and suffix are?

tally charts

This week for maths my goal was to use more than one way to find a theoretical probability. Make sensible statements about information with reference to supporting evidence. This week for my create task I made a wheel that has got six things that I do in lock down and spin it at least 30 times, to see what tasks spun up and how many times.  I spun my wheel 50 times and made a tally chat about how many times it landed on things, here are the results.
               
Have you down a tally chat before?

Sir John Kirwan

For writing finished my report on Sir John Kirwan. This week my goal is revise and rework my own writing for clarity, impact and purpose. I also had to proofread for spelling, grammar and punctuation.  I have included this so you can see the difference when some writing has been edited.  After I finished this I was able to make a poster about what the top 3 things you need to remember when you are editing, because I learnt this when editing my own work.

Can you tell the difference between the old and new work?

Fake news reading

For my reading task this week, I read all about fake news.  As well as reading I also got to play a game where I was a BBC news reporter reporting fake news.  Then I got to look at photos and see if they fake or real.  Things I learnt from my reading where that when looking on the internet at stories I should look to see if the news is coming from a good source, who wrote it, when they wrote it and is it a reliable.  for example Wikipedia is not the most reliable source because I don't know who wrote it, any one can edit it and I don't know when it was written.

Do you know how spot fake news?
