I did another prototec test on my times tables.

First I did a timed test. There weren’t as many qhestions as usual because I did the times tables from 2-9. for example, “9×8=72”

Then I did a cheet test. The sheet test wasn’t timed. It was just a sheet with some of the same times table questions from 2-9.

Then I wrote some of the question that I got wrong in my book so that I could practice them and try to learn them.

I liked doing prototec because at the end it tells me if im right or wrong. I did better at the sheet test because on the timed one there was too much presure. I think that I could try and get faster at answering my times tables.

I tested my basic facts on prototec.

First we did a timed prtotec test. There were a variaty of questions, for example ” 83/100 = 83%”

Then we did a sheet prototec test. It wasn’t timed, so I didn’t have the presure.

Lastly we wrote some of the questions that we got wrong inside our books.

I think that I need to get faster at answering my basic facts because I was slow. But I think that I did good on my sheet basic facts because I wasn’t under presure.

I created a fact find about a different culture’s drum.

First I looked for a drum that I wanted to do my fact find about. I chose the Chinese Tanggu drum.

Then I looked for some facts and media about the Tanggu drum. I found lots of different facts. for example, “The Tanggu drum was made about 250 years ago, in the 19th century.”

Lastly I put all of the links where I got the information from, so other people can learn more about the Tanggu drum.

I enjoyed doing this fact find because I got to learn more about a different cultures traditional drum. I think that I could have found more specific facts.

I learnt how to read a text then connect it to my prior knowledge.

First we used our prior knowledge and connected it to the text. We choose to do indivisual reading, so we all read the text by ourselves.

Next we read the last few pages and answered some questions about the text. For exapmple “What drum is used in your culture?”

Lastly we read the last pages and answered all of the questions. To figure the correct answer we got into groups and diggused our answers.

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn more about drums and what drum is played in my culture.

We learnt about basic facts and fact families.

We learnt that there is a difference between groups of and groups. For example if there were 20 people and they had to get into 4 groups of 5 then there would be 5 people in each group. But if they had to get into 4 groups, there would only be 4 groups.

First everybody got assinged to a time table they had to do, then get into groups of 4 that each had different time tables. Each person had a time table thay had to do. everybpdy had to have the 4 times tables, the 6 times tables, the 7 times tables, and the 8 times tables,

Then everybody wrote a fact family for each of their time table. For example 7 x 8 = 56, and 8 x 7 also = 56. So they are a fact family.

Lastly everybody used counters to show each time table and took a photo.

I enjoyed doing this task because I got to learn more of my time tables. I think that I need to practice more of my 7 times tables. But I did well on showing all of my time tables using counters.

I learned some skill and how to play T-ball.

First we played noodle tag as a warm-up, because the noodles are kind of like bats so we used them to practice holding the bat.

Next coach Cameron taught everybody how to ball. He also told us 4 things. The first thing we did was face sideways, then put the bat and ball at belly button height. Then we pur our feet apart so we could hit the ball with more forse to go further. The last thing he told us about batting was to put our arms straight out at a contacted point.

Lastly we played T-ball against other teams and used all the skills we learnt.

I enjoyed playing T-ball becuse it is kind of like Cricket. I was good at running from base to base because I am pretty fast, but I think I need to improve on hitting the ball because sometimes I hit the T instead of the ball.
