Monster Poem

STEM Challenge

My Reflection

This term we did The Marshmallow Challenge. 

We did this to work together as a team, communicate and problem solve as a class. It also helped us build healthy competition. 

We found it challenging to think of a plan- this was so new to us! 

We all had allocated jobs so nobody missed out in contributing

We did a lot of trial and error tests

It was so hard to keep it straight and stable! 

We thought it would be easy but it was actually really hard!

My Reflection: 

This term we focused on Measurement. We have been doing some follow up tasks on Matific. Here is a screen recording of me working on one of my tasks. 

I found this easy because i really like my times multiplication and know almost all of it

My next learning step is to practice division

native vs. introduced

IALT : research and then sort ( based on finding )

It was easy because i have learned about these birds for almost the whole year. My next step is to learn more about trees.

Kakapo vs. Kiwi

               
 W.A.L.T - Compare the Kakapo and Kiwi bird using a Venn Diagram. 
we have been learning about these two birds for inquiry and writing this term.
We have written information reports on them. I found this activity tricky because i have not
ever done writing on two birds that are from NZ and are endangered. My next step is to learn about some native NZ trees.

IALT: Create Strong Powerful Sentences - Sir Edmund Hillary Writing Piece

IALT: sort relevant and non-relevant ideas- Inquiry

WALT: Use Place Value Partitioning To Add 2 Digit Numbers.

This term in Maths, we did place value partitioning to add bigger numbers. Here I added the thousands together first, then the Hundreds, then tens and then ones. This makes it easier because you don't have to think of such huge numbers at once.
