Over the last few weeks we have been making a toilet paper solar system.  A toilet paper solar system is where you get toilet paper and draw each planet.  The reason we did it on toilet paper is because it told me how far apart the planets were and how big they are.  Then we got into groups.  Then each group chose a planet to paper maché.

  We have also been reading this book called The Green Book. In The Green Book bunches of people were fleeing earth. and the were going to a planet called shine.  It took 4 hours to get to the planet called shine.  On the ship they brought chickens, roosters, and rabbits.  when there ship landed they set up tents.  and in the morning they explored there new planet

We are planning our speeches this year.  We made a speech template for our speech planning. 

    

fractions of a set

Reflection

It was tricky to figure out questions that were multiple fractions.  I got the hang of the unit fractions.  The questions were challenging.

Over the last few weeks at school we have been doing this thing called terrific Tuesday.   

Terrific Tuesday is where after lunch we got to pick a subject I picked science. we have been doing science Experiments like balloon rockets, egg dropping and things like that.  I liked this because it was fun testing out new things and learning how to make things.

We have also been doing S.D.L. which stands for self directed learning.  We get given a slide show with tasks on it and we have to finish them and once we do we go on this web site called Mathplayground to do basic facts.  I like this kind of learning because we get to do fun things especially in Maths.

We have also been learning how to make agamagraphs where you draw two pictures that are connected to each other for example a tree in Winter and a tree in Autumn.  After you have drawn the two pictures fold and cut them into strips.  Next glue them onto the backing paper that lets    

you see two pictures depending on which way you are looking.  It was awesome seeing it fully finished.

grid value port rates

Reflection

over the last few terms we have been making grid value port rates

grid value port rate is a picture that you make square by square until you make what you want.  My favourite part was drawing my face. My trickiest part was shading. To make light you put patterns together.  and to make dark you put patterns close together.
