Poem

We learnt about 4 different types of poems and made our own.

First, I made a diamante poem. A diamante poem compares and contrasts, my poem was about ice cream and ice blocks.

Next, I made a haiku and cinquain. Haiku poems are in 3 words, and they use seasonal words. Then I wrote a cinquain poem, my cinquain poem was about A backyard.

Lastly, I chose my favourite poem and made it look pretty. I chose my cinquain poem because I thought it was funny.

I enjoyed this task becuase I like writing poems, I think I need to improve on writng limerick poem, I did good at writing both my haiku and cinquain poems.

Be Positive

Positive is when you are good powards other people, and keep your head up.

Even if you fail in doing something, keep trying, because practice makes perfect.

If you try a new sport and your not good at it, you could always practice or play more so that you can get used to playing the sport, and get better at it so that you don;t get friestraighted or angry when something doesn’t work.

Be positive towards new things, and never give up if you fail.

T-Ball

Today we played T-ball for hpe.

First, we went over the rules for the game. Some of the rules the coach told us were: you can’t have more than 1 person in the circle, and, if the fielders caught the ball  on the full, then you were out.

Next, we played a relay game to get started. The batter had to hit the ball as far as they could, and then try to run back and fourth between the T and a circle as many times as they could, once the fielders out the ball back on the T, you were done. I ran back and fourth 2 times each.

Lastly, we played a game of T-ball. My team was loosing and had to beat 7 home runs, my team had 5 home runs, but then on the last hit everybody got a home run. So my team won by 1 home run on the last hit.

I didn’t enjoy this becauce I don’t like T-ball. I did good at running to the different posts, I need to improve on hitting the ball with more power.

Skits

Me and my group have been working on a skit for inquiry.

First, we brainstormed a bunch of different messages/morals. Some of them we’re: “Hard work pays off, “keep trying” and “you deserve someone who knows your important to loose”. We choose hard work pays off because we thought it was the best one.

Next, We came up with all of the names of characters and a problem with a solution. Our problem was that nobody tried to do work, and the solution is that the teacher inspired them, and they wanted to be sucsessful in life.

Lastly, we came up with our script. We wrote all of the things that the actors would say, and add some actions that we would do when performing the skit.

I enjoyed this task becuase I liked writing the script and comming up with all the character names. I did good at writing the script, I need to improve on nothing.

Statistics

I learnt about statistics.

First, we all answerd 4 questions each, they we’re: Can you ride a bike? Whats your favourite colour? What month we’re born in? And how many people live in our house?

Next, we needed to analyze all 4 of the tally’s. We needed to add the tally’s and find out the frequency.

I enjodey this task because I liked making the tally’s. I did good at making the tally’s, I don’t think I need to improve on anything.

Processed Food

I learnt about evaluating processed food.

First, we read 7 articles that had information about processed food on wether it was good for humans or not, most of them said that processed food can mostly be good for humans.

Next, we discussed our opinions using the extended discussion cards. My question was, How can processed food be bad for humans?

Lastly, we wrote our own opinions about processed food, my opinion is: I think that processed food is good for humans because we can eat it when there is no fresh food to eat, and processing food can kill microorganisms and make food last longer. But if we eat too much processed food it can be bad for us.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt to form my opinion. I did well on forming my opinion about processed food. I need to improve on finding questions.

Poetry

There are many types of poetry, some of them are haiku, cinquain, limerick, and diamante.

Haiku is in 3 lines,and is usually an event in time. The syllable count for haiku is 5, 7, 5.

Cinquain is in 5 lines and it is a story or description using a syllable base 2, 4, 6, 8, 2.

Limerick is in 5 lines and the topic needs to be something that is usually humorous, and is emphasis on the 2nd 5th and 8th beats.

Diamante is 7 lines, but the word count goes in 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, wich makes it in the shape of a diamond. It uses nouns, adjectives and verbs.

Haiku, cinquain, limerick and diamante are 4 different types of poetry.

Adding fractions

I learnt about adding fractions.

First I watched a video explaining how to add fractions. For example: 1/4 + 2/2 =?, so first, do 2×4, this is 8. Then, do 1×2, and 4×2, the answer is 10 added up. So, the answer for 1/4+2/2 is 8/10. Next I added more fractions like: 1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12, and 1/4 + 2/5 = 3/5.

Lastly I answered a sheet of adding fractions, I did good at this.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt to add fractions. I did well on adding fractions. I need to imrpove on the times tables part.
