Alliteration Critters

W.A.L.T. write an alliteration describing a relationship between two creatures. We used a shared Google Doc to write our alliteration. In a shared Google Slide we had to add a background then inserted png images of the critters.

How long does it take to?

W.A.L.T  identify the time taken to do tasks. We had to estimate in seconds minutes, and hours.

Fractions chart

Ataahua and I are learning to make a fractions wall. First we had to cut twelve pieces of paper the same length.  First we glued one whole strip, then we folded another strip in 1/2 before cutting it in half and gluing it on our wall. We repeated this process in 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12ths. We saw patterns when we cut 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/12. We saw another pattern when we cut 1/3, 1/6 and  1/9.  We saw another pattern with 1/5 and 1/10. It was difficult to keep the paper the same Fraction length.

Blogging Criteria

PostW

Components	Beginner	Getting Going	Smart Learner
Learning	What have I been learning? I’ve written what I have been learning about e.g. shared my WALT I have put in an image, drawing or a screenshot of my learning	How do I know I have learnt? My post includes information and ideas that show what I learned. I created a DLO that shares my ideas about the learning: eg, a video, diagram, infographic etc	Reflected on my learning: My post has my new ideas and what I enjoyed or found really difficult I’ve shared what I think my next steps are, what I’d like to know more about, and what I might do differently next time
Impact	I have explained the learning I did Most of my ideas can be seen I included a photo, image or screenshot	My title is unique or catchy My DLO is my own creation, makes sense and adds more information My post may include embedded html content e.g. collage, video, Google Slide, animation etc	My post shows WHO I AM as a learner and is unique to me. My information and ideas help my audience to understand the learning, [and there’s a link to this activity to my class learning site] For my DLO, I (or my group) made all of the learning being shown from scratch
Punctuation	Some of my spelling and punctuation is not right My post might be hard for the reader to understand	I have checked my punctuation and spelling I have asked a buddy to read my post, made corrections and I cannot see any mistakes	I’m confident all my spelling and punctuation is correct and it makes sense for my readers, they will be able to read it easily
Layout	My font sizes and colour may be different and need making the same My images or embedded content might not fit properly I may not have used labels or a title on my learning blog post.	I previewed layout to see how my post would look and changed it where I needed to Font size and colour match I’ve used a title & labels   If I’ve used other people’s work or thinking I have shown the source or attributed it to them	Media/html content is checked e.g. size, position, and appears when post loads My labels and title are specific to the learning & help people searching my blog I am beginning to use scheduling for publishing so my posts don’t all come at once

  All the Students in Te Moana have recently begun their own blogs. They are all at the beginner blog stage now but we are all setting our goals to become Smart Bloggers by the end of the year. Please check our blogs all the time to check how we are learning to improve.

Our Hoe

At the beginning of the year we wrote our hoe for Te Moana class as well as how we collaborate and care for others throughout the school as well as throughout life. We have just revisited it, and discussed the questions with greater meaning.
