Telling the time

This week I have been learning about analog clocks and digital clocks.The learning that we did was very helpful because it helped me learn what I need to learn about clocks.We were transferring analog clock to 24 hour clock.It switches to 24 hour time midday (12 pm). In the morning say 2:00 it will be 0200 and in the after-noon at 2:00 it was 1400.Know that I know how to do this it will help me better with clocks.

The last few days we have been learning about activating prior knowledge.Now I have learnt to do this I find it easy to activate prior knowledge.When I first started learning this I found it a bit confusing but now it is really easy because I understand the meaning and how to do it. It is really good knowing how to do this because it helps allot in my reading progress.

weekly review

This week we have been doing allot of things in class like maths,countrywiana and many more.
It was easy this week to complete my work because I was on task 99% of the time.

Countrywiana:  Countrywiana this week is the next thing we are doing instead of Kiwiana and Schoolwiana we have to chose a country and find the things that make that country special.

Maths: This week in maths I have been working up a level in maths learning how to do conversions it has been quite a challenge but I am willing to accept it.

Reading: In reading my group and I are working on activating prior knowledge it was very easy because you need to use similarities.

Co-operation works

For awhile now we have been doing talk moves for maths. The thing that I enjoyed about it was all the co-operation.It was fun answering and asking these questions because it was interesting knowing the different strategies of the one equation. It was really a challenge to answer some of the questions if you don´t know any other way to explain the problem.

Poems

Lately we have been doing poems. We have been searching the different genres of poems so far we have done 4 different types of poems. The easy part was to add images and designs the hard part was to to think of words that are descriptive.

Panui

In reading this week we are learning to activate our prior knowledge. We have to use what we already know to make similarities in our reading. The easy part is knowing what the differences and the similarities. By knowing when we have completed this task is when we have made connections with the text.

new math strategies

For awhile now we have been learning how to problem solve with all the strategies that we know.

The easy part was to have an idea on what to learn also asking questions like how did you get this answer or is there another way you can explain it.The hard part was to know what strategy is suitable for the task given and explaining your strategy to  the group in another way.

Tuhituhi/Poetry

This week for writing we have been making connections in our poems.The task was to work around the word gala and then the first thing that comes to your mind is what you write down and so on.The easy part was finding pictures of famous people to match the words we had.The hard part was to find the letters we need for the poem out of the magazine.

 

Review

The past weeks we have been learning how to ask questions and infer.
 It was easy knowing these things once I learnt them I know use them and it makes it easier.

Inferring:
I know how to use inferring . It makes a difference in my learning and it helps me better as I read through the text.

generate questions:  

I ask questions when I read to ask things like why is it happening,will it change and how will it make a difference
