Maths workshop with Mr Wallace

    In maths workshop this term we have been learning to understand types of measurements. This        sheet here shows you "mls" here's my sheet... 

    My next step is to maybe do harder work sheets.

Earth to Mars instructions

Task: write a set of instructions on how to get from Earth to a planet of your choice.

WALT:

- a chosen planet’s location in the solar system.

- a chosen planet’s distance from earth.

- planets you will pass by to get to the chosen planet.

I was an expert.

I always communicate about my Inquiry learning.

Next time I need to present my thinking in a differnet way. 

Writing workshop with Mrs Leitch

WALT: write an explanation about why leaves change colour in autumn

why leaves fall off trees in autumn

why we have different seasons

WILF:  

- a general introduction that introduces the topic.

- ideas grouped into paragraphs with each paragraph focusing on a different idea.

- a variety of different sentence lengths.

- consistent appropriate tense throughout.

- a conclusion that sums up the topic.              Here is my explanation.

Why do leaves fall off the trees?

Trees need (water and sun) energy to grow which they can't get in winter.

The energy trees need are made up of water, sun heat and sunlight which power there leaves, to grow. The roots reach the water under ground and the leaves absorb the heat and light, which gets turned into food.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves but some trees don't because they have really deep roots, these trees also have big amounts of leaves spread out along the trees to get more heat, light and water to make food, these trees are called evergreen trees.

Trees shed their leaves in winter, because there's not enough light p, heat and water so they lose leaves and save energy in their trunk and survive throughout winter. They then grow another layer of leaves to shed again the next year.

Trees keep their energy in there leaves in summer and spring but then it starts turning to winter and the tree thinks “Oh I need to shed my leaves and put my energy in my trunk and store it”

So alway when you're playing with some leaves think of all of what the leaves and tree have gone through to survive.

My next step is to make my work more detailed.

Percussion

WALT: make a beat to the music of "oh a milk shake."

My next step is to: maybe say the words more confidently

Reading

In reading workshops my procedural group have been learning how to make an origami peace crane. You can use my instructions and make one if you want.Here is my peace crane instructions if you want to make it.

    See if you can make it.

Writing 100

WALT: write a story any sort of story, except with one extra rule; to only use one-hundred words.

(this is my story) 

The dolphin came out of nowhere when I saw it. (and I did see it.) it was 12.6 tons, I now that because I put a scale under it. It walked over to a baby which said "come over here and wait for the time when penguins live." In a very deep manly voice, and then out of the blue came

A penguin (it was living.) it smashed into a car and died. "So sad." Said the baby. The dolphin

Turned his head and died. I woke up with a start, I looked out the window and died. 

So the end.

My next step is to make it more descriptive but still with one-hundred words.
