Features Of Explanation writing

My Reflection

I have been learning to recognize the features of an explanation. I found this easy because while we were in lock down I was practicing to write everyday. My next step is to use these features in my own pieces of writing.

All about the Kidneys

My Reflection

We have been learning about the organs in the human body. I researched the Kidneys. I still wonder how the Lungs work and whether they stop working when you sleep. I am confused about how the Kidneys produce vitamin D. My next step is to learn more about the body systems.

Fact and Opinion

My Reflection

I have been learning the difference between fact and opinion. A fact is a statement that can be proved true. An opinion is something a person thinks is true. Such as ice-cream is the best dessert in the world! I found this activity easy because in the third sentence it says " The most fascinating part on an elephant is their trunk. " in the other hand some people might thing the elephants ears are the most fascinating feature of it's body. Some people may not even like the fact elephants are still living. My next step is to use facts in my speech to back up my opinions.

Features Of Persuasive Writing

My Reflection

I have been learning to identify the features of persuasive writing. I think the most effective feature is groups of three because it's just so fun to try use this or read this in a sentence. I found this easy because before this my fantastic teacher explained what to do with very clear instructions as well as me already knowing what most of these meant and were. my next step is to use some of the features in my own persuasive speech.

My Lockdown Poem

My Reflection

I have been learning to write an acrostic poem. I used my experiences during Lockdown to write my poem. I am most proud of my Harry Potter drawing because Harry Potter is my absolute favorite movie series and i've never drawn anything as detailed as the snitch in the middle!

Identifying Parts Of A Graph

My Reflection 

In this activity I had to try to match the signs to the correct thing that it was. I found this easy because i learnt about graphs when i was in year 3 and 4 and I was one of the people that actually knew what a graph was like or about. My next step is to try labeling a pie chart or different type of graph. 

This Is Just To Say Poem

My Reflection 

I have been learning to write a poem based on "This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos William. 

I was able to to use interesting language so my poem was engaging. I found this quite easy because i thought of a bunch of terrible things i did when i was little. My next step is to add interesting words for detail. This might make it more engaging for my audience.

Analysing Character Traits

I have been learning to relate to the character traits I noticed about Ryder were mischievous and brave. I found this tricky because i was too lazy to go get the book so i had to try remember everything that made Ryder mischievous and brave. My next step is to explain how characters interact with each other.
