New Vocabulary

Task Description:

For this reading task, I had to find the meaning of words and put them into a sentence, I found this very difficult to do because I hardly knew any of the words that were on the task to do. My highlight for this task was I guess getting to know new vocabulary since this was the main goal for this task and my low light was probably trying to understand it’s meaning and come up with my own sentence with that new word in it. I hope to work on more new vocab so I can probably use it instead of the same words I usually use every day.

Amazing Algebra

Task Description:

For this task, I had to answer some questions about patterns in numbers and Identify the rule of it. I then had to say what I thought the 50th number was in properly every slide here. On the last slide I then had to multiply two and three digit numbers and do some division. My highlight for this task was I guess getting my brain thinking about the questions and my low light was having to think really hard for the answers, I think something I might work on is trying to find what the 50th number is, I found that quite tricky to do.

Barriers to education

Task Description:

For this reading task, I had to read a text about things that block young students from education. I found some interesting information while reading the text, I knew about a few from the text but having to know that there was about more than eight barriers to education was quite surprising. After I had finished reading the text I had to answer these few questions on these slides. Some of these questions were directly to me about why I thought this or why I thought that, and the last slide was basically asking which of the barriers to education I thought was the most saddening to hear about or which was unfair and then I had to explain it. The last question on the last slide was for me to imagine I was a principal of a school, and what I would do to ensure that my school is a place where both genders can attend knowing that they care safe and cared for. I had to really think about this question like all the questions and go into depth about it. One thing I liked about this task was the text because it told me many things I really didn’t know about. Which was really surprising to know. The WALT for this task was to analyse authors values,attitudes and beliefs, and to find,select and use a range of texts suited to the learning purpose.

Introduction to Algebra!

Task Description:

For today’s Math session, we have a new task to do. And for this task we had to learn about Algerbra. I thought this task was going to be hard but I managed to learn how to do it, and it was easier than I thought. I worked along with Swaimah so we could figure out the answers together.

3D Representations

Task Description:

For this maths task, we had to learn about three dimensional models to two dimensional representations. I found this task not quite hard but not quite easy either, I found interesting to do though, because we had to re-create these abnormal shapes.  I found it hard at first but I think I improved along the way, my highlight for this task was to do something new and having to finish this and get onto algebra, my low light for this task was having to try figure out what belonged where was what because we had to use mats. Other than that this task was pretty average to do for me.

Skiing in Afghanistan 2

Task Description:

For last weeks literacy session, we had to do another slide about the story we read. If you want to know what story, it’s the front of this cover on the slides in front of you right now. Anyways, we had to answer more difficult type questions about the text, we had to dig deep into the story because we had to answer what we thought the Author’s message was. I’m pretty sure this whole slide was questions about the author and their experiences there. My highlight for this task was that I got to imagine the things that were happening in Afghanistan while reading the text, and how the author managed to go to Afghanistan despite the dangers. The WALT for this task was to Analyse authors values, attitudes and beliefs.

Skiing in Afghanistan

Task Description:

During literacy last week, we had to read and complete this task. The name of the story we read was “Skiing in Afghanistan” By Neil Silverwood. We had to answer some comprehension questions after we had read the text, this whole presentation was just asking us about the text overall, but we really had to dig deep about the information that was being giving from the text to answer these questions. The highlight I found from this task was that I learnt things about my friends country, which I never knew about, and the low light for this task was having to read a very long text. Though I’ve read longer so this text didn’t really bother me, our WALT for this task was analyse the authors values, attitudes and beliefs.

1 Dawn Raid – 20th June – 3rd July

Task Description: For this task we had to answer the following questions about the story we had read. Which was called “Dawn Raid” I found this story interesting even though we had to read thirty-one pages of it. On the last slide of this task we had to choose two activities, and I chose to do a design for the boots Sofia wants and how I would want my perfect day to go. Our WALT for this task was to monitor ourselves to read through a novel and to keep up with my group. If I fall behind I catch up, and just playing and active role in group discussion. Our literacy teacher discussed with us that we would be reading parts of the story for the coming weeks. It would take us maybe 5-6 weeks. I enjoyed doing this activity as well as reading the story. I hope you are satisfied with my answers to these following questions! 

Ratio Reconcilliation

Task Description: For maths this week, our teacher had given us this task about reconciling with ratio. Our WALT for this task, was to solve problems involving ratio. Our success Criteria  was to identify the relationship between numbers. My highlight from this is that I got to have sort of a recap on vocabulary on what a factor was or what squared root means. My low light I think was sort of trying to figure out the answers to the following questions. Each of these slides has a different title, for example there is relationships between numbers and ratio + proportion. I can admit that some of these questions were a bit tricky to do, though I did manage to properly finish this and post this on my blog for you to see.

I hope you find this satisfactory!

Fractions Word Problems

Task Description: For today’s maths task, I worked with Swaimah and Lynette on these slides, and as we completed the slides, we found each of these questions a bit tricky to find the answer to. In the end we managed to complete this task together and post it on our blogs, I hope you check out their blogs too!
