Moment In Time Poem (Self)

I heard the waves rushing onto the coast, with the sails fluttering against the wind and seagulls squawking in the sky

I saw the boats drifting above the dark blue water. Rocks surround the shore, people strapping up their helmets to continue on to the harsh waves of the ocean. 

I felt the jitters go through my body, every muscle in my body was as tense as a rock. Although I was a bit antsy I felt eager to progress into the water. 

I wondered when we entered the boat if we could catch wind for the sail, so we could be able to maneuver the boat.

LI: To use the language features and structure of published poem to help use write our own poem.

For Writing we continued with our Moment In Time Poems and did one by ourselves. It was really fun doing because we were able to express our creativity in our vocabulary and were able to have complexity in our writing. For my Moment In Time I was writing about the Sailing we did last week. This activity was really fun to do. 

Moment in Time Poem

LI: To use the language features and structure of published poem to help use write our own poem.

We looked at the language features and structure of a poem called ‘A Moment in Time’ and used our experiences from camp to follow the structure and collaboratively create our own moment in time poem.

To describe what we heard, what we saw, how we felt and what we wondered we used our senses, adjectives and adverbs.

Adjectives are describing words, used to help make sentences more powerful. Adverbs are words that modify or describe verbs (action word). 

Settings

LI: To use powerful words to describe a setting so that it paints a clear picture in the mind of the reader

A setting is the place, time and environment of a story to help a reader make a connection to your narrative you need to use your words in away that helps them form a picture of what you are describing in their mind. To do this we looked at an image and thought of 10 words that described and showed what we could see. Once we had thought of the adjectives or adverbs we used our smart searching skills to help us find synoymns that made our descriptions clearer. I found this interesting I was able to use different words and was able to increase my vocabulary.

Toys

LI: To strengthen connections to technology.

We have been learning about technological practice.  This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.

We are using the processes of technological practices to  design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor. I found this interesting and fun because we were able to find the materials needed to make the rovers, and we were able to do it with our friends. 

Cybersmart

Space Jam

 LI: To find the most efficient strategy to answer the question

For Maths we did a Maths Problem consisting of Multiplication and Addition. To find out the answer of the question we first had to extract all of the Main Information to help us solve the equation. The question was based off the upcoming movie Space Jam. In my DLO it showcases the question, and all the Main Information I got from it, and how I solved the equation. It was really fun doing as I was able to do this activity with my friends and group. 

Sir Isaac Newton

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find out who Sir Isaac Newton was and how his work connects to simple machines

                          

For Reading we were learning about Sir Isaac Newton and his discoveries in groups, to help us with our researching skills and our collaborative skills. For our DLO we made a interactive DLO showing each of Newtons discoveries as well as explaining why hes so important in modern science. It was really fun doing this cause I got to learn about his disoveries in Gravity and inventions in Mathematics. It was really fascinating to see all of the accomplishments he's made in his lifetime.
