Structure of the Earth Create Task

Kia Ora Everyone!
Recently, we have been doing a create task about the structure of the Earth. I first made an animation, but then I finished it. So, I made a comic.
What I found hard was to get everything inside my comic box.
What was easy was to make my comic because I already knew everything from my animation.
What I found easy for my animation was to think up the professors name.
What I found hard was to get the to be cut in half. This is my work and my PMI chart.
The learning behind this task was to learn about the layers of the earth.
For some people it was also to learn how to make comics, animations or forms, it also sometimes was to learn how to use all the technical tools.
See you later!

Georgia's Maths Understandings

Hello
This week we have been working on Equal Adjustments. What was hard in this activity was to do the extra activities for the people that finished the others. What was easy was to figure out my word problems. We have been working on Equal Adjustments for a couple of weeks now. When you get to know how to do Equal Adjustments, they are really fun and easy. The learning behind this task was to practice Place Value Partitioning and Equal Adjustments. This is my slideshow.
Thanks Georgia!

Is the Earth like a hard-boiled egg?

Kia Ora!

We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg!

Here is our science experiment writing of our hard-boiled egg layers\Earth layers comparison.

Mixed Ability Maths

Hello!
This term we have been working in mixed ability maths groups to help us work out a maths word problem.
How did I feel?
I felt good, but sometimes got annoyed when the boys in my group drew a lot and didn't work out the question. Often the drawings were of very unrelated things.
What have I enjoyed?
I really enjoyed seeing how others in my group worked out the answer, and comparing their strategy with mine. Usually in our group we had our own thinking and didn't work very well together. Especially when it came to when we had to work out a question altogether.
What I have felt difficult?
I felt that it was really difficult to work out the questions when my group did not work together very well.
Why I found this tricky?
My group, when we did not work together, would talk over the top of each other. After that, the question barely got done.
What can I do to change my negative thinking?
Try to use questions to help group my group work together and communicate better.
Goodbye! See you later.

The Living World

Hello, 

This is my living world slideshow. For the next 5 or 6 weeks we will be choosing our own
activities to learn about the living world.
We did a multiple intelligences test to see what kind of learner we were.

My top three ways of learning intelligences are;

1. Linguistic

2. Interpersonal

3. Kinesthetic

I am looking forward to working with other people throughout the year.

It was interesting because I got to explore the outside world.

Earthworms

Hello fellow bloggers! This week (25.3.19-29.3.19) we learnt about earthworms with Mrs Fletcher and Mrs H. We had to put ourselves into groups of 3-5 to collect earthworms. I was in a group with Annelise, Brooke S and Saphera (There was also me!). My presentation is still a work in progress because I have to still gather some information and finish a couple of tasks. What I found hard was to actually find the earthworms. What was easy was to create names for the worms and to find what the worms liked the best. Our worm names were:
Worm Number 1: Jarred
Worm Number 2: Jerry
Worm Number 3: Tiny Tony
We put black paper over one side of the container, to see what kind of place the worms liked best. Darkness or Light. Then our group put some grass, leaves and dead plants in the container. This stuff was the worms food. After that we put in some soil for the worms to play in. We made a playground. It was devastating to put the worms back in the bucket because we really liked learning about worms. I learnt that the earthworms didn't like the lino because it was too cold and that they liked the darkness. I think they liked the darkness because it felt like they were underneath the soil. Also because the probably wanted to hide from us and the birds. Here are the links: To Do Tasks Do,

See you next time bloggers!
Thanks, Georgia!

Mrs Gren Report.

Hello fellow blogger! Georgia here with another great blog post.
Today, (21.3.2019) we have been doing a small animal report. It was based on MRS GREN. MRS GREN is an acronym to help you remember what a life form has to do to be a life form. What I found difficult was to find out my facts.The reason I found this hard was because sometimes the internet didn't give me what I needed. What was easy was to find the picture of a cat. It's just my cat from home!  Something that helped me was my friends. Some of my friends knew facts about cats that I didn't know. I learnt that cats can smell different poops apart. (That was very surprising!) I hope you enjoy reading my mini report. See you soon!
