LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time.
This week we wrote moment in time poems. We first got into groups of 4 or 5. We wrote a poem using our five senses from what we saw, heard, smelt on top of the mountain, and we connected it with the past. This activity was really fun because we had to find some way to connect the present with the past.
LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time.
This week we wrote moment in time poems. We first watched a video of a man getting attacked by a polar bear. But thankfully he was in his protective cage and no harm was caused. We wrote a poem using the 5 senses, and wrote about how we would feel or what we would see, if we were the man in the video. This activity was interesting because we used interesting vocabulary using wordhippo.
Sound Focus: ou as in short u.
Long vowels say the letter name and short vowels say the letter sound. For Example: Pray is a long vowel because it says the name of the letter, and Apple is a short vowel because it says its name. Our Sound Focus for this week is ou as in short u. To be able to pronounce ou, you will need to say short u, as in the letter sound. Some of the words we went over were touch, courage etc…
This activity was very enjoyable because there were words that could’ve had different spellings like tough as tuff or touch as in tuch.
This week we have been learning about the vowels and the “ei” sounds. Ei can make long /a/ sound and long /e/ sounds. Long vowels are saying the letter name, and the short vowel is saying the letter sound. We made a DLO of Nonsense Paragraphs, The words we used in our paragraph to make a nonsense sentence is Veil, Skein, Eight, Foreign, Reindeer, Leisure, Receipt, Receive, Beige, Reign, Abseil, Vein, Perceive, Ceiling and Receive. I enjoyed this task because I liked how we challenged our partners to see who wrote it faster.
For this activitie, We explained about who we want to be in the future. What I have done for my vision board was about what is my goal for the future and what my goal is going to be for this year. The leader I chose is Malala Yousafzai because She is confident in her education, Very compassionate, and Malala is hardworking. The college I want to be accepted to is Selwyn College. I enjoyed this activitie because I want to let everyone know I want to be this person and how she educates people in Pakistan.
LI: To use smart searching skills to research correct information.
For this activitie we explained and told the details of the Chinese Lantern and why it’s important for the Chinese culture. We researched their traditional events and learned more about their information. For the first slide I wrote the questions for us to research about it. The question I wrote is How is Chinese Lantern Festival celebrated? The Chinese Lantern Festival is celebrated commonly with Firecrackers, Fireworks, Red clothing and dragon decorations. I liked this activitie as much I had fun learning about the Chinese Lantern Festival.
