China DLO

 

In term 4 week 1 rooms 9 and 10 got a surprise envelope from the office at Mangapapa. We looked at the envelope we noticed that it had stamps from around the world on it and dirt we thought the envelope had traveled a long way. 

 We were learning to create a DLO about a certain country. We had to find a partner and then we got handed a piece of paper from the envelope. Me and my partner studied the paper for about ten seconds and released that we had got handed a letter from a girl in China. We had to read the letter after we read the letter we shared things about what we had learnt from it. We did a few different activities then on the last activity we had to make a DLO about what we have learnt.  

I found it easy to understand all of the words in the letter because there went many Chinese words. I also found it easy to record my voice so that it sounded fine on a website that our teachers told us about.

I found it challenging to fit everything in and make it look good on one google slide because there where quite a few things we needed to  fit in! I also found it hard to find good free to use picture because when you type up free to use it doesn't have as much of a selection.

 

I really enjoyed this because it was easier to work with two people so we had two brains to work with. I also really enjoyed this because I've learnt a lot of things about China like how they have six day of school and I only have 5 days of school.

Next time I need to try and make things smaller and not put to many pictures in my google slide and have more voice record parts in the google slide about what the picture mean and more information about them. 

   

Spring writing!

We were learning to create spring writing about our favorite parts of spring. We had to use level 3 adjectives in this writing. I was also learning write a paragraph using a topic sentence, supporting details and a conclusion.

I found it easy to insert my picture into the slide and I also found it easy write about my favorite part of spring.

I found it hard to work out what I was going to do for my sentence beginnings because we couldn't have sentence beginnings like "The".

Next time I think I will use more level three adjectives so I can extend my vocabulary and so I can be on a higher level for writing.

 

Dodge home stay home (writing)

I was learning to create instructions for a game that we have made by taking two or three games and putting them together. I found it easy to figure out what two games I wanted to do because play Go home stay home quite a bit and I just enjoy playing dodgeball. I found it hard to make the text not clash with the background. I really enjoyed this because now I have created a new game to try out! Next time I need to put more verbs in my instructions.

Math with Miss Moat

 

I was learning to Simplify fractions and do basic facts/prototec. I found it easy to do prototec. I found it hard  to do Simplifying at the start. I really enjoyed this because I know how to Simplify. Next time I need to make sure I put the right answers for prototec. 

Powtoon video on have a heart

 

I was learning to make a powtoon video about one of our REACH values I choose have a heart. I found it easy to control Powtoons once I got the hang of it. I found it hard to figure out how to use the Powtoons website. I really enjoyed this because now I know how to make powtoon videos. Next time I need to make some bit of the video shorter.

Instruction of how to make an invite

 I was learning to make invite instruction. I learnt about what great instruction needs. I found it hard to not put too much information in one step. I found it easy to create my google slides. I really enjoyed this because now I know how to make proper instructions. Next time I need to make the layout of my slides more understandable.

Learning how to do blog comments

I was learning to create a blog comment sample for when I do blog comments. I really enjoyed this because it will help me. I found it easy to drag the magnets. I found it challenging to understand what we were doing with the blanks. Next time I need to make one of my sentences smaller.
