Art Attack Don Binney

We are learning to create art inspired by Don Binney.


I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are colored using pastels and natural colors. The black out line is in black pastel.



Reading Whio

I am learning to apply our prior knowledge to a text.

I'll know I can do this when I can think of ways I have connections to a text and I can use those connections to help decode unfamiliar words and ideas.

The prior knowledge is the things that we know before we read the story and the new knowledge is the things that we get in the story.



Maths Tapawha

I am learning to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers.

I'll know I can do this when I can explain how to make a mixed number from a fraction and can show my thinking.

I am learning to read and write down the whole number and what is left.



Writing: Information Report

I am learning to write an information report.

I'll know I can do this when I can plan and write an information reports with a title, topic sentence, and a group of facts about a subject. 

Something I learned was that every information report needs paragraphs.

Learner Qualities: Communicate

I am learning how to communicate.

I'll know I can do this when I can identify a variety of ways I can communicate with others.

One way I communicate is by talking and face expressions.

Peace Week 2017

I have been learning about Peace Week.
Peace Week is an annual tradition organised by The Peace Foundation every year. You can learn more about The Peace Foundation by following this LINK.

As a way to learn about Peace Week I did three different Peace Week activities.

With Miss Brennan we created a poster to help promote peace and Peace Week.
With Mrs Baker we made hand print doves and wrote messages of peace on them.
With Mr Horn we looked at the symbols of peace such as the dove and created origami doves.

Here is an example of one of my activities




Student Led Conference


My highlight at my student led conference was my maths because I liked sharing the math game.

I am proud of sharing my writing because I liked sharing my monster soup.

I think my parents enjoyed reading because of my tic tac toe notes.

Next time I would like to get through my whole student led conference.

Reading

My learning goal this term is recognise and use new vocabulary.
I can do this by knowing which word fits in the sentences.
This photo shows my learning.

Something I learned about writing a procedure is it means writing a set of instructions.
Something I would like to do better is to have more adverbs.
