The main location in this novel called camp green lake is run to stop bad boys behaviour. Elizabeth, Lyric, Rachna and Aneika are also reading this book.

WALT: summarise the text

What is climate change?

WALT: summarise the text

Variables

Distribution

Production

Reflection:

In professional film making everyone has their own assigned job. When our class is film making we have more then one job. For example I could be the recorder and in charge of sound at the same time while someone else could be the director and a actor. 

Order of Operation

WALT: solve algebraic equations

WALT: Summarise a text

Cross country training recount

WALT: write level 4 recounts

Last week on Friday we were asked to get in to small groups of about 4 or 5. I was in a group with Elizabeth, Isaac, Dakota and Kauri. Before we started recording we had a discussion about what our film was about. Then the  Isaac came up with an idea of recording himself getting hurt. We called it Ihaka origins. After figuring out the name we got started. It was really hilarious because Isaac kept getting hurt and all we had to was record, sit down and watch. Elizabeth and I were on recording and Isaac, Dakota and Kauri were in the videos.

Literacy Series

WALT: think critically about a range of texts by summarising and evaluating new information. Reflection: In the last two weeks we have been working on our literacy series. We have been working on things such as the brain, the solar system, astrology and the elements. We have been doing a lot of writing and I have learn't a lot. We have also been doing a lot of hands on stuff such as making a Sculpt GL brain, a tinkercad solar system and we are currently making dream catchers. I worked with my friends and I think we work best together.

Squaring Whole Numbers

WALT: square whole numbers This is mine and Lizzy's slide on squaring whole numbers. When we first started to learn how to square numbers I was really confused but now that I know how to do it I think that it is really easy. All you have to do is times the number by itself. Next time instead of using a table for the squares we should actually use squares, copy them and place them.

Bouncy Eggs

WALT: make connections between the human skeletal system and our science experiment.

Ingredients

Egg, vinegar and a jar

Steps

First place your egg very carefully in the jar. Next add vinegar and make sure that the egg is fully submerged. Wait for about 4 days. Last take the egg out of the jar, rinse it off and see if it bounces.

Reflection

The changes I saw was that the shell started to peel of the egg and the egg became white. I enjoyed waiting because of seeing all the differences through the days. I think that next time we should leave them in the jar for a bit longer because the eggs didn't bounce they splashed.

Team Building-Marshmallow Catapult

WALT: Show our school values during team building.

 Reflection; today for team building we had to make a marshmallow catapult. It was pretty hard because the marshmallows kept on getting squished and it was very tempting not to eat them. I think that this week we were better at teamwork. We were communicating with each other and getting everyone's ideas. I think the school values that we used most were equity and kindness. We used equity by getting everyone's ideas and giving everyone a go. We used kindness by not putting people down if we disagreed and using kind words.

Team Building

WALT: show our school values during team building

Reflection: For today's team building we had to build a tower out of toothpicks and marshmallows. We had to work as a team to try and build the tallest. We also had to tell some of the people in the team to stop eating the marshmallows. It was difficult working as a team because some people weren't pay attention and others were doing all the work. We used kindness by asking them nicely to participate. Next time me could definitely work on our equity and working as a team. Either way we got it done and ended up having the tallest. Everyone in the team got a lolly for having the tallest tower.

Digestive System

WALT: think critically about texts and respond accordingly.
 

The Skeletal System

WALT:think critically about texts and respond accordingly Reflection: I really enjoyed putting the skeleton together, it was sort of like a puzzle. I think my skeleton turned out pretty good. Next time I might add in a bit more examples.
