Kia ora bloggers,

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adults intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next, we got to choose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Our create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Google Drawing and it was about a book called ‘cecaders.

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realise how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding?

A castle that would blow your mind

Hello fellow bloggers.

Today we did some fairy tales this is mine.

We did a story Mountain it is where you start from the background which includes the introduction character and settings. Then it goes to the rising action this includes the events leading up to the main problem or conflict. Then at the top is climax this is when the problem reaches the Highpoint. After that is the falling action this is in the characters work to solve the problems or conflict. Last but not least the Resolution this is how the thing ends up in the story. What is your favourite Fairy Tail? Mine is The three little pigs.

Thanks for reading, Harvey.

Marvelous math

Kia ora bloggers,

For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles.  

We learnt about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet).

For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you figure out if they are acute, right angle or obtuse?
