Simile Illustration

This is my DLO illustrating a simile. First we had to correct the similes on a google drawing. Then we had to create a DLO illustrating a sentence that we picked. I picked as blind as a bat to illustrate.

Dance

Today we started our dance with Mrs Anderson. First we explored what a warm up was and we did one. A warm up is to prepare the body for exercise by doing stretches or some kind of movement. Our task was to create a warm up routine. I was with Freeman. I liked how we could explore the internet to find a interesting move that will wake up our bodies. Next time my partner and I need to practice our timing So we can move at the same time.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

For this task I had to research the meaning of reduce, reuse and recycle. I did this because it is our inquiry topic this term. I learnt that reduce reuse and recycle is a cycle. I also learnt that some of the landfill could be recycled but it is not.    

Ivory Ban In China

For this current event task we looked at the ivory ban in China. Elephants tusks are made from ivory. They are used for art and manufacturing. We looked at the different points of views about ivory ban. Some people think that it is good while others hated the decision. The people who cut off the tusks are called poachers. I worked with Te Wai for this DLO. I think that China is doing the right thing because elephants could become endangered.

Chunky Challenge

For this task I had to find words that have the chunk ake in it. I put down all of the chunk words that I already know, then I found some new words that have ake in them. I then decided to put all of the Ake words on to a word cloud.  

Is Recycling Really Helping Our Planet

Today for reading we were asked a question to get our brains thinking. The question was: Is recycling really helping our planet. We created a padlet to record our information. We wrote down our opinions. This is called prior knowledge. Most of our group said yes because it has reduced rubbish in our landfill.
