Sharing fractions

IALT: Find fractions using multiplication and sharing
The whole of room 11 had to make a video of how to find 3/4s of 16.
I couldn't upload the video at first so my friend Terina helped me upload it.



The easy part was the fact that I already knew what to do after our tutorial video that my teacher Miss Avern did. I think the hardest part was teaching myself how to use the tools on the website I did the learning on, since it was new to me I played around with it in the weekends.

Water cycle writing

WALT: Making an informative diagram. This term we are learning about the water cycle.

The hard part was learning the definitions of the words, but the easiest part was putting the information in and looking for the pictures. Before going rogue and doing it by ourself we had to talk about it, in our writing groups. After one big and helpful discussion we get our books/ Peice of paper and start planning. We came up with something different but this is what I came up with.

Why we should we keep trees

WALT: Write an argument.

We read books about the subject, we planned about what we were going to rant about. Last but not least we obliviously wrote about it. 

I learned about how to write an argument and why it's bad to cut down trees. Also how to check my own work. ( The words that are highlighted in Blue the thesis statement/I believe. The paragraph highlighted in green is the explanation of the main idea which is highlighted in red.)

can you answer my questions?

WALT: Ask ourselves questions to understand out reading and to learn more about the book.

These are my questions, Screenshotting is too hard so I thought I'd type it in a different color instead.( Not copy and pasted)

1.How does the doctor know that he'll grow?
Because he knew that his growth hormones 
2.What is premature 
Born earlier than expected to be born 
3.Why is the story called small?
Because thats what the story about.(The main character is small)
4. Why does his friends bully him?
Maybe because he's different than them or shorter
5.Why is getting clothes a pain for him
Maybe because it's not his style
6.How come  when he runs it feels like he's running fast as?
Because  he's running as fast as he can.
7.Why doesn't he want to be treated like the little brother if his sister  grows taller 
he'll be embarrassed when everyone calls her the older one and they call him the younger brother even though he is older.
8.Why is he good at hide and seek?
Since he is small he can fit his body in a small places
9.Why is the clothes he get not his style
He wants his clothes to be like his friends 10.Is his head really as small as an orange?
I think so 11.What's wrong with his growth hormones?
He was born too early and something went wrong with his growth hormones in his birth.

The questions were hard to think of so I needed to work with some of my friends so they could help me with the questions.

Use the force

'     WAL about forces.
We watched video's about the four forces of flight, we flew paper planes to test out our opinion, we talked about it and lastly but most obviously we wrote about it.

 

I learnt while writing that motion there is movement and when there is balance there is no motion and that friction equals less motion, Miss Avern did demonstrations as well as the whole class, we talked about what forces was working on the paper plane. Then we brainstormed our ideas. I thought that writing the forces was the easiest and the hard part was adding examples.



While writing this doc I learned more about gravity and Friction, since I thought I knew a lot about gravity I learned more than I knew before.
Please leave me a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment to help me move forward with my learning. Thank you.

What's the value of the numbers?

WALT: Place Value, this strategy is easy for me to do because I can use this strategy to solve 234x5= ?
I used a whiteboard to solve all of my problems and I did it all on my own.
