100 Word Challenge

In this activity we had to write exactly 100 words. This made it tricky because I wrote too many words and had to make it a bit simpler. The point of this activity was to try not to use useless words to make exactly 100 words. My next steps are to do 100 words but to make it more interesting.

Art ~ Flag

    My Reflection

In our class for the art exhibition we made flags. We were making positive and negative spaces. We put tape on the flags to make squares and rectangles, then we made patterns on them, then we started to dye. Afterwards we took the tape off. I chose to dye my flag like this cause I thought it would look really cool and simple. 

I found this activity a bit hard because in the beginning it was hard to decide what                                                                                                 pattern I wanted to put on my flag.

                                                                                              My next steps are to try make my art                                                                               work more neater 

Reading ~ Inference

My Reflection
In our class we are learning about inference. Inference is when the writer
doesn't tell you something and you have to use your own skills to work it out.
I found this task a bit hard because some information was really hard to find.
My next steps are to practice more inference activities so I can get really good at it.

Measuring Angles

In maths I have been working on Geometry - measuring Angles.

I have done a Hexagon matching puzzle, Name angle measuring art, Protractor golf, and a beginners measuring angles activity.

This is a photo of my name angle art.  For this piece of work I had to write my names using a ruler, and using straight lines.  

Then we had to measure the all the angles in our name using protractors.

I found this Easy as soon as I understood how to measure angles using the protractor.

Next time I could make my letter width the same.

Understanding Mixed and Improper Fractions

Monday 17 September 2018

At year 6 level we should have a good understanding of fractions.
So Mrs Graham told us to write a slide show about Mixed and improper fractions.
We had to explain so that a year 4 person could understand it.
We could work in buddies if we wanted to and I did, my buddy was Parniha.
In one slide we got stuck in the slide " mixed fraction" but we got through it.
I found this activity challenging and fun. 
Do you have a good understanding of fractions?

Kensuke's Kingdom Chapter Two: Water, Water Everywhere

The Heart Faced Dog

 Tuesday the 4th of September 2018

Mrs Graham decided that we had work better with other people so she said that me and Michael had to be buddies.

We did an activity. The activity was that we had to choose who was A and who was B. I chose A and Michael chose B. Person B had to draw exactly what I said.

This was the picture that I was giving instructions to:










And this was what he drew:









It was really close but there were some mistakes. The things that went wrong was that I forgot to tell him to color in the nose. The ears also went wrong because I didn't know what shape they were so it was really confusing. The heart wasn't fat enough.

I think that I

Making A Prediction on Kensuke's Kingdom

Identifying Persuasive Techniques

Place Value System

My Reflection
What I found tricky and I got stuck one was finding out the 0 place holder thingy.
The part that was easy was everything else. I really enjoyed this activity, I hope I 
can do another one of these activities.

Comparing Numbers

How To Make "Plastic"

Is Plastic Good Or Bad?

                                                        My Reflection
The tricky part about this writing was the introduction it was hard to start off and get ideas.
I got stuck at the conclusion because I didn't know how to write it but I knew what to put in the conclusion. What I can celebrate about this leaning is that it turned out really good. I thought it would turn out really bad and it would not make sense. I can celebrate that I added a lot of detail and it made sense. The examples that Mrs G showed us and also the success criteria helped me with this learning.

Making Comparisons

                                                                      My Reflection
The tricky part about this activity was to think back all the way to term one, because I didn't remember much of the story. I got stuck at the part thinking about how the people act like. I can celebrate that I found this task a bit easy in some bits. I can do differently by adding more detail.  thinking back to what I know helped my learning.

Making and Breaking Numbers

My Reflection
We were learning about the different ways to make the number 12.  We were using different equations and we were looking for patterns to help us be successful.   We were learning this to help us learn strategies in the future.  I felt excited and proud about this learning because I was able to find a lot of ideas.  By finding the pattern it was easier to get more ideas.  Next time I could use higher numbers so I can extend my knowledge.

Bridge To Terabithia

My Reflection

WALT understand the purpose of characters in the text.

This helps us to understand the story because if they were similar then we can understand how they feel and how they handle the things that are the same as you. I know how they feel because they are similar to me and I have felt like that before.

If they are different then they solve problems differently to you and they 

also think differently too.

Feelings Poem

Implicit And Explicit Information

My Reflection
I was learning implicit and explicit information to understand the story or sentence and learning inference. At first I felt frustrated and confused but then when I got the hang of it I felt happy and excited to finish it off. The tricky part was trying to understand which mark goes where, I got stuck at the beginning because I was trying to figure out how the marks work, but then I asked some friends and they helped me out! My friends helped me with this learning. I can now celebrate about this learning is that I learned something new! My next step is to do the activity more faster next time.

Writing A Description

My Reflection
We were learning to add detail by using our senses.
Can you find where I've described using my senses?

Welcome To Year 6

Welcome to my year 6 blog!

My teacher for year 6 is Mrs Graham and I am in room 16.

My goal for year 6 is to do my personal best for everything, 

but I mostly want to improve on my maths.

I am looking forward to year six camp and class trips.
