Perspectives and Opinions

Walt: I am able to identify the ideas opinions of author and share my own in comparison 

For the past few weeks in literacy our class have been focusing on the perspectives of authors and writing our own opinions to compare with the authors. If you go through this presentation you will find that I have agreed with all the articles that I read.

What is Guy Fawkes?

Walt: -connecting and comparing. I relate information and ideas from texts to my own experience to form an opinion



Guy Fawkes, what or who is it? You may be thinking that Guy Fawkes is all about fireworks and all that, well your right! But that isn't all; explore this 6 slides presentation to find out what I have learnt all about Guy Fawkes.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Can you imagine starting off the day of the term with an alien invasion? It was pitch black in the hall, a UFO (drone) flew onto the stage and two hideous aliens appeared out of the UFO. Luckily it was just an act for part of our school topic this term which is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’

Team 1’s focus for this term's topic is on the moon, sun and where they at night and day. For their performance they showed a movie of their teachers flying off to space in their cars. The second team was quite similar to team 1’s focus about the two elements and the earth. Their movie was quite different though, they were dancing in space and it showed that they were in different planets enjoying themselves and life in space.

Team 3’s movies talked about time and what they did during school times. During the film they showed their favourite part of the day at school and their most favourite was 3pm when they went running home happily and screaming. Their main focus is on time and why scientists time.

Our team, team five had the most entertaining performance of all, I reckon. Mrs Judd sang a lovely cover of “How far I’ll I go” written over by Mr Wiseman. The lyrics said what our focus was which was about the moon and the impacts it has on the earth.

But I think that team 4 had the most informative item. They thought about life on the other planets in the galaxy and put that all into one movie. Unfortunately, every time they approached a planet they’re ships exploded. So their main topic was to take care of our own planet and being guardians of our own galaxy.

Sweet as Poetry

Walt: Oral Language - analyse and adopt spoken texts with expression and confidence

 
This week in literacy we have still been carrying out our knowledge of poems and expressing ourselves more. We have learnt more about how we need to talk with expression, projecting our voice and making our words loud and clear.

Plays and Poetry

Walt:Analyse and adapt spoken text with expression and confidence


This week our focus is on plays and poetry. Our text is a play and we are learning how to be confident and speak clearly in front of an audience. I know I have achieved this goal when I am able to speak confidently in front of an audience and not hesitate.

Warm... Cold

Walt: Evaluating - I gather, and synthesize to evaluate information across a range of text


Making clever clothes.. isn't that clever? There are some pretty clever things that we can create but Stewart Collie make clever clothes like, fire and stab resistant gowns for patients in hospitals, built in mp3 in a jacket, electrical socks to warm your feet and more! Also different housing insulation, there are different material to make these insulators.

Environmental Gas

Walt: Evaluating - I gather, and synthesize to evaluate information across a range of text


For this week in literacy we read about environmental gases. We had to read to different text and the two gases they talked about was Biogas made of fresh dung, and methane gas from rubbish dumps. Biogas is formed when fresh dung goes into a Biogas Plant and goes out one side into you kitchen where the stove is. This gas is used for cooking which is really useful. The Methane gas provides electricity and that is also very useful. I really enjoyed learning about these environmental gases and if there was a power outage I would have a solution in mind.

Heat On The Move

This is our group diagram that we created about the Heat Transfer Process. We found these facts on the text that we read called Warming up and Cooling Down. My partner Mitchell and I created this diagram. Please feel welcome to leave a comment if you like.

Staying Warm, Keeping Cool

This presentation was our task for this week. We had to write about the differences of how human, huskies and seals keep warm. For the last few slides we had to find a partner from our group to work with. Check out our diagram that my partner and I created.

Water Wise

Walt: I make sense of all information before, during and after reading by connecting it to myself, text I know and my world.
This week our task was to read a text set before starting this google presentation. In this activity we had to create a poster. In our poster we had to add images and text to explain the importance of water. Go to slide 7 to check out my poster.
