Jobs connections

Here is a DLO I created with one of my classmate Jasmine. This DLO is about careers that are linked to being a doctor. Jobs like being a Nurse, Surgeon, Surgical nurse or a paramedic are all jobs that are connected to being a doctor. Skills like science, English, maths, reading and biology are skills that paramedic, nurse,PHN and nurse aid have in common.

Ukuele

Yesterday afternoon Fine, Yvette and Tim taught rm 5 some skills on how to play the ukuele. They showed us how to pluck the strings and they also taught how to play the chords to the song islands. 

Shake out

Today at 9.15 am Schools and people around NZ participated in the NZ earthquake drill called the shake out. We had to drop under our desks and hold the table legs until it was 9.16 am. I created a DLO with my friends Jasmine and Afu about our experience about the shake out using google slides

Story Swap - Courtney and Tiare

Surrounded by the dark green trees was an old abandoned house. It looked as if nobody came and cleaned it for many years. I can still hear the rumors about the abandoned house ringing in my ears. As I was staring at the abandoned house I felt like walking towards it. Each step I took up the stairs leading to the house kept creaking under my foot . So when I walked into the house I found a dark staircase heading towards some rooms. I walked up the stairs scared about what might be up there.

When I got upstairs I would see all these doors with no door knobs on them. Some were chipped, some had no paint left on them and one room didn't even have a door. I walked into the first room in front of me and I stared at it for a moment it looked as if dolls were lying all of the bed and there was. I stared at the dolls waiting for something to happen. All of a sudden I heard a loud bang! coming from the closet behind me. I quickly looked over my shoulder but nothing or no one was there.

Once I looked in the closet there was this big doll that I found staring at me in a mysterious way my heart started beating rapidly because I felt unsafe and scared. Once I finished looking at the doll I ran out of the house and went home but when I ran outside it wasn't the same feeling as I felt when I was inside the house for all of a sudden for an unknown reason my body just shut down, by time I woke up it felt like I was sleeping for days, months or even years.

With my partner Tiare, together we wrote a recount about an old abandoned house. We wrote a Story Swap Recount which means that each person writes a sentence each. Something I learnt about writing a recount is that if you read the recount out loud you can hear your mistakes

DLO

Here is  a DLO I created to show my way of thinking. I had to answer the question and by doing that used a stratgery that helped me. The question was Halatoa ate twice as many pancakes as Sebastian at lunchtime. Sebastian had another 3 pancakes for afternoon tea. Altogether they ate 18 pancakes. How many pancakes did Halatoa eat?

Grid challenge

Today for maths I was practising my time tables with my friend June by playing a multiplication game called the grid challenge to play the game we had two dices that we role and when the dices land on two numbers that was our times table question. When we figured out the answer we had to draw around the amount of squares on the grid and who ever has there grid covered first then they win.

Problem Solving

Today for maths I created a DLO to show a strategy I used to answer  the maths question. The question was (Sajiha read a book with 6003 words in it in 4 weeks. In the first week she read 653 words. In the second week she read 497 words and in the third week she read 1183 words. How many more words did she read in week 4? )To answer this question I first found the total of the numbers, then I added the numbers of words Sajhia read I then used subtraction to find the missing numbers and then I plus the numbers to make sure I had the right answer.
