Afghanistan Tourist - Brochure

 LI: to identify the main ideas in the text.

In reading we have been learning about how we identify the main ideas in a text. The text we were reader was  Afghanistan lures tourists despite warring. First we analysed the text by skim and scanning the text. Then  we  had  a learning conversation with our group so we could  identify and negotiate the main ideas in the text. The last part of our learning was to make a information brochure about the text. I enjoyed this becuase I got to learn more of the experiences the two authors had whilst in Afganistan.

Student Led Conferences

 LI: to celebrate our Book Week

Today PBS celebrated our Book Week of 2021, this celebrates our learning through books. This event allows seniors to give our juniors the chance to start their reading journey. We took pictures of the different classes on the stage of the hall. After we were greeted by a visit from Spider-Man talking about how books can benefit in our everday lives and how reading is a superpower. We then read books to the juniors and ate our lunches. We then carried on with our lunch.

Being A Jedi | Coding

 LI: to code the mBot to move backwards with the ultrasonic senser.

For our second tech session for coding we learnt to code our mBots to sense whats in front of it with a range of cm. In our coding program we used all of the codes above in the picture to create the actual code to initiate the ultrasonic senser. In the code we used "IF - THEN - ELSE" code whitch would allow the robot to process the code easily (e.g: IF mBot senses something THEN mBot will move backwards ELSE it will keep moving forward). Once the mBot has sensed that there is something in front of it, the mBot will move backwards due to the code we used with the ultrasonic senser. Moving our hand in sync with the Mbot will keep the mBot moving backwards until we take away our hand.

Reading Pathway

 LI: to recall our books in the last 7 years.

For book week LS2 created a DLO on the books we have read in the past 7 years. We also explained the plot of the books and why we enjoyed reading them. This DLO shows how far I have changed when it comes to books. I enjoyed this very much as I got to remember the past books I read.

Cinquain Poem

LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star

 

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. 

A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. 

Line 2 has 2 adjectives that describe the noun. Each line holds different powerful words to describe/link 

to the person the poem is made about. I enjoyed this activity because got to write a poem about one of 

my role models, I got to express what I see in Lionel into a poem.
