SSR Selfie

This week I learned about SSR Selfie.

SSR stands for Super Silent Reading. Super Silent Reading is where you read quietly for 15 or 10 minutes.

First I had to choose a book and read for 10 minutes. For example  : I picked a book called Drama to write about.

Next I had to write down the main characters that were in the book that you talked about. The main characters were Matt, Callie, Liz, and Raina.

Then I had to write down the illustrations. The illustrators was Raina Telgemeier.

Lastly I had to list 3 new words I don’t know in my own meanings. For example : I think a rocketship is a type of vehicle.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at listing 3 words in my own meanings. I need to improve on writing something down basic.

Basic Facts Boxes

This week for maths I learned about Basic Facts Boxes.

Basic Facts Boxes is a type of Math game that you sort out the answers. For example: 1+1=2.

First, I had to figure out which one I want to do for math’s. The options were plus, minus, and multiplications. I picked minus because I was thinking that it is the best way to start off with. I also had to pick another option. The options were, random, and order. I picked order because I think the same as minus.

Next, I had to start off by figuring out the answers for the math’s. The minus was easy for me. For example: 20-1= 19, 19-1=18.

Lastly, I had to press check when I finished answering the math problem. For example: when you finish answering your problem of math’s you had to press check to see if you got some wrong, some correct.

I enjoyed learning about basic facts boxes. I did well at answering the problems or solving the problems. I need to improve on moving on to the multiplications.

Location

This week for Miss White maths we learned about how to find and describe the location of something on a map using grid references.

What is a grid? A grid is a map put into squares. Grid references are used to help find things. This used to be used for maps to help people travel to different areas. We always say the X axis first and Y axis next.

First, we had to discuss in Miss White whole group, what location is. Location is an actual place or natural setting in which a film or broadcast is made, as distinct from a simulation in a studio.

Next, we had to make a copy of a google slide that is about auckland zoo. In the google slide we had to have a look at the questions and answer them also by using what are some places you can see, what are their coordinates, and how do we read coordinates. How to read coordinates is that you have to use the 1-10 numbers on the left side and the letters 1-12 on the bottom. For example: your looking for a animal in the zoo and you can’t found it so you use the map to find it. It would be B5.

Lastly, we had to be in pairs and make another copy of a document to draw a map and get your partner to find objects/places.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at making a copy of the task. I need to improve on adding more details into the document.

Compare & Contrast

This week for Miss White reading groups we learned about to be able to compare & contrast two/three ideas.

What is comparing? Comparing is looking at the similarities and differences between ideas or stories.

First, we had to discuss in a group what compare and contrast is. It is where you discuss the elements that are similar, while contrast discusses elements that are different. It’s also a type of two subjects by comparing them, contrasting them, or both.

Next, we had to watch two videos below and make a copy of the venn diagram. In the venn diagram we had to write down the similarities and differences between the two videos. The two videos were called pips and hope. In pips it talks about dogs training to help blind people. In hope it also talks about a turtle by itself and founds that the dad was died in the ocean.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at writing down what the two differences are in the two videos. I need to improve on adding more details.
