5 Senses Summer Challenge - being the illustrator

-

 We have been working on using descriptive words in our writing to help our readers “see the picture” in their heads. We have also been using the 5 senses to help us write about our photo inspiration of a little boy mowing the lawn.


Our backyard - 5 senses summer challenge By Ethan

I see small birds chirping in the trees.

I smell dog poo that was in the grass.

I hear lots of bees buzzing in the beehive.

I feel really wet grass on my feet.

I wondered if the lawnmower would break.

I felt the squishy dog poo on my feet.



Our backyard - 5 senses summer challenge By Joshua

I felt spikey grass on my feet in the backyard.

I felt the hot sun shining on my back.

I heard the birds chirping in the tall trees.

I saw the people playing next door.

I wondered if the lawnmower would break down.

I wondered if I would hear sirens from the road.

I smelt the fresh grass from next door.


Our challenge today was to be the illustrators of two of our classmates writing, using the words they’d written to show the picture they had given us in our heads. These are some of the visual ideas that Sofia, Gwen, Meleane, Shriya, Ethan, Joshua and Yash could visualise.

    Some amazing descriptive words, I really loved how specific you were. I love the idea of the class illustrating the work. I think we might try this in Room 7!

Experiments with Force and Motion

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our return to class learning and distance zoomers

 We are enjoying having our distance learners zooming in to join the students in class for Literacy and Maths.  It can be a bit of a juggle, but everyone seems to be enjoying catching up, and still being able to learn alongside each other. This week in Maths we have really been getting the hang of early algebra, working out sequences and repeating patterns. Earlier in the week the class based students used interlocking cubes to challenge those at home to work out their patterns, and what would be the next colours in their sequences. One or two even made minor changes to see whether the others could see slight changes in order of their blocks. Meleane on Friday set us all, students at home and those in class, the challenge to work out whether she was using a repeating or non repeating pattern.  There were a few tricks to hers too.  Can you work out which are repeating or non repeating pattern sequences? Perhaps join us over this coming week where we are learning about increasing or decr

Creating repeating and growing patterns for Algebra

-

 The last few days we have been challenging each other with working out if we have been making repeating or growing patterns in Maths.  We have also been finding ways to make a code to follow so that we can name the patterns we have also been making or studying, and also beginning to predict what will come next in the sequence. Today we began working on increasing and decreasing pattern sequences, and how tables can be made to show the changing patterns.  Our next challenge for tomorrow is to use each other's creations to predict what might come in the 5th, 10th or 12th position, or even the number of cubes we would need to make them.
