Figure it out

This week for Miss White maths group we learned about how to use our problem solving skills to work out the gala set up.

What is a school Gala? A school gala is where people sales things that others would like to buy or want. For example : You are saling a pencil case. When people walks towards it they would want to buy it so they will give you a token of how much it cost.

First, Miss White explained to us what we are learning for today. We are learning about solving skills and how to use our problems. For example :  the problem is “The goldfish is selfish and never wants to share anything with us”. The solving part will be “Until the goldfish realises he was a selfish fish that won’t share anything with other people or creatures so he decides to share and make everyone happy again.

Next, we made a copy of the google slide that talks about figuring it out at the gala. There are 14 slides to complete. When we finished making a copy of the google slide we had to look at the slide and work out each question. We also switched different partners for each slide. My partner for each slide was Armani, Hasna, Ziv, Valencia, Sila, Hasna, Amarley, Myah, and other classmates. Those are the partners I used for each slide.

Lastly, we went through each slide and answered the questions. One of the questions was date dilema. In the date dilemma we looked at the calendar and see what date suits most people and way. I picked the 29th because there is a 50% (percent) chance that there is a strong wind and there’s another 50%  chance that it would or could be weak. When I finished some of the slides we had to draw a bar graph on a book or a chromebook to see which one is the best and who has the most votes.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at answering all of the questions on the google slide. I need to improve on doing more bar graphs about the school gala.

Comic Strip

This week for Miss White reading groups we learned about how to create a comic strip based on the events of the rainbow fish.

In the DLO we also have to use language features – past tense, adverbs/verbs, written in first person (I, we) , especially nouns.

First, we sat on the mat and Ms Mclean explained to us what our work was to do in the morning. Our task/work was to make a copy of the DLO and make a comic strip based on the book called the rainbow fish. In the big box we had to draw pictures and in the little box we had to write down the events of the story. For example : I drew in the big box a rainbow fish swimming around and in the little box I wrote down what happened or what the fish was doing.

Next, we had to go back to the document we made a copy of from W3 and create a comic strip of the rainbow fish. In the document we had to scroll down and use the summary to help create the comic strip. We also had an option if we wanted to create the comic strip online on the chromebook or on paper. I chose the paper because it would be easier to draw pictures but harder to write down what happened in the story.

Lastly, I had to colour in the drawings and show Ms Mclean. When I finished showing my work I had to go online on a chromebook and write down a recount of what I have learned on my blog.

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at drawing pictures and writing down stories. I need to improve on adding more details onto the story part.
