Text Ex

In week 2 we made a Text Ex timetable for week 3. It had to contain 2 writers notebook tasks, 1 workshop, 1 follow up, 10 minutes on Grammar Ninja, read the pages for our Literature Circles and the Literature Circles activity.

I did the sentence structure workshop. We learned how to do simple and compound sentences better. This is my simple sentence: Archibald was seen as a coward. this is my compound: Archibald Baxter was terrified by war so he was seen as a coward. For my writer's notebook 1 activity I made a machine that stopped my parents from waking me up. I had a lock that you could only open from the inside and soundproof headphones. For writer's notebook 2 I had to draw what it would look like from the perspective of my shoe. I drew a piece of gum, a feather and some stones.

Mixed Media Art Reflection

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about Mixed Media Art.

What is Mixed Media Art?

It is when you draw something and you use heaps of different materials to make it three dimensional.

The materials you use are like newspaper, foam, buttons, string, watery paint, crayons, gesso, PVA glue, cloths and many more resources. 

Step 1. Watch a video on how to draw a face.

Step 2. Sketch out a face, neck and shoulders as your plan.

Step 3. Cover the whole paper with newspaper.

Step 4 Draw a face, neck and shoulders on top of the newspaper.

Step 5. Paint the background, face, neck and shoulders.

Step 6. Decorate it with materials.

Step 7. Use a word and have sentences that relate to it. For example I used sporty as my word and sentences that linked to that word about me,

Maths Term 2 Week 1/2 Reflection

In week 1 we made another timetable. It will timetable from Tuesday the 3rd to Thursday 12th May.
I attended two workshops. Converting between fractions/decimals and percentages and Using fractional thinking to solve ratio problems. We had to complete 3 rich tasks, some mathletics tasks, 2 workshops, 2 follow ups and a blog post.

In the converting fractions, decimals and percentages workshop. I learnt how to convert the 3. eg if you had 0.13 as a decimal to convert it into percentage you times it by 100 0.13x100 = 13%
13% converted to a fraction = 13/100 because you are doing it out of 100. In using fractional thinking to solve ratio problems. One of the problem is: How many blue cars would there be if there were 24 silver? I had a guess and it was 21. The correct answer is 16. I found this one was really challenging. I did 3 rich tasks. I did 1, 2 and 3. For rich task one I had to give 5 reasons why someone had measured a basketbalI court and got 19.5 instead of 20. I found rich task two easy because I have learnt about what I needed to do before.
Rich task three was quite easy because it was based on rugby points and I play rugby.
