simple, compound and complex sentences

This term for writing we have been learning about simple, compound and complex sentences.
Our LO for this activity was to create sentences and and highlight all of our success criteria in different colours.
I found this activity a little bit easy but I realised that this is important to learn as we can use this everywhere we go.
I think I need to learn on writing my sentences based on one thing and to use different conjunction words

Time series graph

                                                                                                                      

This week for maths we have been learning about time series graphs.
Our LO for this activity was to get data and turn it into a time series graph.
I found this task a little bit challenging but I think this would be good to learn as it shows us that you could only use certain graphs to create time series graphs and other types of graphs.
I think I need to work on gathering the right data and to learn how to make a time series graph properly

Descriptive writing

This week for writing we have been learning about descriptive writing.
Our LO for this activity was to create a writing about a girl in a forest and highlight all of our success criteria that we put inside our writing.
I found this task a little challenging but I think it is important to learn because it helps you learn more words and adjectives. I think I need to work on using different words and adjectives.
I would like to learn more words and what the meaning of the words mean

Using A Rule To Make A Number Sequence

This term for maths I have been learning to use a a rule to make a number sequence as in given a rule written in words, a number sequence can be created. Remember that the numbers of a sequence can be called terms.

I found this task a little bit challenging but I think that this is important to learn as it helps us understand what using a rule to make a number sequence means. I think I need to work on understanding what using a rule to make a number sequence means and how to put it into number sequences. I would like to know about what the terms for the sequences are.

Why do we use rules to make number sequences? 

Procedural writing

This week for room 9's writing we have been doing procedural writing. Our learning objective was to write a procedural writing about getting the T.V onto Netflix.


     

Rocket presentation at Wesley Primary School

On Monday the 2nd of July my class and I walked to Wesley Primary School to teach the children about rockets and flight. When we got there we went inside Room 3 and then Room 4 walked inside. When everyone was sitting down Mr Walker introduced himself and then started talking about rockets. Mr Walker was mainly talking about how a rocket works and how it flies. We were talking about gravity and then was talking about Newtons 3 laws. We then went outside and set up the rocket launcher. Before we did the rocket we brang the skateboard out and then we had a volunteer to come up and throw the ball while standing on the skateboard. The point of this was to see if the person would move back on the skateboard after they threw the ball. After a few more people tried it out we started to setup the rocket. Everyone had to move back because it wouldn't be safe if everyone was standing close because it would blow into someones face we then had people buddy up to have a turn with the pump and pulling the string once some people had a turn we stopped and the classes went back to there classrooms and then we started to walk back to school.
This was a cool opportunity to go to Wesley Primary School and show the kids the rocket experiment.
