My Reflection

I was able to measure the perimeter of Auggie´s classroom and add all my measurements together.

Next time I will want to learn a different and harder way to do Perimeters e.g. Different shapes.

Wonder Language Features

WALT: recognise and understand specific language features

I was able to read carefully through the book to find all the answers to all the language features. Some of them I didn't answer because Some were answered by Mrs P.
I  thought this was tricky because I didn't know what Hyperbole's and Personification meant so I had to Research to find out what them two meant.

Next time I'm going to try and answers all of them by my self without any help.

Ghost Maths

WALT:  Use a  calculator with accuracy

I was able to use a calculator to add all of the equipment and clothing together from the Rebel Sports website . Also it was very hard to get exactly two thousand but at the end i got to 2000. I thought this was a very good maths task because when you get older you will be doing this all the time.

Now I will try and use more expensive equipment and clothing instead of buying lots of different cheap stuff . Also I plan to use this when I'm older.

Speeches 2017

WALT: deliberately choose words to create an effect on the audience

My Reflection 

I was able to use persuasive words to make my speech persuasive and then put them into sentence to make my speech. Also I was able to use some emotive words to effect the audience.I thought making my speech was supper hard because when you finished your speech you wasn't done because if you didn't add emotive words or persuasive you had to add them in to effect the audience.

Next time I will add more of my emotive words because I only had 3 or 4 also I will try and remember and add more emotive and persuasive.

because  i don't know these words

Camp Merc Certificate

Learning Reflection

I was able to do all the activity's at Camp Merc.

Next time i will post all of my certificate. 

My Kennings Poem

Walt : distinguish between relevant and irrelevant ideas for my Kennings poem

We were learning to use lots of detail and use reverent ideas.
I thought this was tricky because in the start i didn't know what to write and then i had to turn them into relevant ideas
I would like to do this again because it was fun.

Statistics

 

Walt : display data on histogram, tally chart

• Walt : interpret information from histograms and tally marks eg. medium, mode, range, mean

I was able to put the information from the class scores onto a histogram and tally chart

• The range for the first name scores was from 4-20
• The range for the last name scores was from  2-21
• The range for the full name scores was from 9-31
• The mode for the first name scores was 8 
• The mode for the last name scores was 7 
• The mode for the full name scores is 22
• The medium for the first name scores is 10
• The medium for the last name scores is 9.5
• The medium for the full name scores is 21
• The mean is when you add all of the number or data together, then you count how many numbers you have and then divide it by that number and that is your answer.
• The median  is when you put the numbers in order from least to great then you find the middle number  and then that is  your answer, but if you have two numbers in the middle you add those together and then divide it by two then that is your answer.
• The mode is the score that appears the most times.

I found this tricky  because we had to keep repeating again and again because we keep pushing the wrong number on the calculator  so i had a buddy to help me.
Next time i want to do this again because it was fun .
Here is the frog Video about mode mean and median

There are 45 letters sounds in the English language.  Sometimes these sounds are made by one letter and sometimes they are a made by a group of letters together.  Learning these letter sounds will help me spell unknown tricky words and increase my word knowledge.

We have learning how to use bullet points correctly in my 10 Things About Me slideshow.  I learnt you need to :

• Use a capital letter after the bullet point.
• If you have written a sentence, end it with a punctuation eg. fullstop.
• Bullet points are used to create lists.
• Find the bullet points icon on the right hand side at top of the tool bar called bullet lists.
