Romeo & Juliet

This week, we were learning about Shakespeare's one of the famous play which is Romeo & Juliet. We watched the video first and made a list of the important words that tell about the story and we made it into a sentence using the list we made. In groups, we then write 5 sentences and turn the 5 sentences into 10 syllables. After that, we choose one of the scenes and make it a dialogue using Shakespeare's language and made it into an animation. I found it interesting because I've got to learn about Shakespeare Language and Romeo and Juliet's tragic death.

Transformation

Today we were learning about the vocabulary of Transformation. Transformation in geometry describes the changes made to shape when you rotate, translate, enlarge and reflect them. We made DLO to help us understand what each transformation look like. 

Phonics

I enjoy shopping at the mall. I saw an ambulance at the shops. Jack and Mickey choked on their popcorn when they were at the movies.

Today for Phonics, we each picked a vowel, to make our sound chunk. My chunk was op. Then I made a list of all the op words I could think of, then put the first to 10 words into alphabetical orders. To make our own paragraph we used one of the words from each persons list.

Firework Safety

This week since it was Guy Fawkes, we created a DLO about fireworks safety to show the room 2. For this DLO, I worked with Miiana, Taheesha and Eyaka. With the fireworks safety, we included 5 simple important  firework safety rules with some photos. After creating the DLO, we showed it to room 2. One of the important rules while near fireworks, is to always keep away while a firework is lit. 

Guy Fawkes

This week or Today, we were learning about Guy Fawkes who plotted to kill King James I but failed. This is when a group of 12 men tried to kill King James I and blow up Britain’s House of Parliament. Then the conspirators got hold of 36 barrels of gun powders and stored them in a cellar. One of the group members sent an anonymous letter warning to Lord Monteagle, but then the warning letter reached the King and made plans to stop the conspirators. Guy Fawkes was caught and was executed. Every the fifth of November, the New Zealanders celebrate the annual festival with bonfires and fireworks. 

Phonics

Today is my sister’s birthday and we planned to a restaurant and then to the park. We arrived at the restaurant and ordered what we wanted to eat. The restaurant we went to was unfamiliar and we’ve never eaten there before. The food is ready! We all gather to eat and have fun but my brother was unsatisfied with his food because his chicken was uncooked. My Mother called the waiter and asked why the food is uncooked. After that, we’ve arrived at the park but then it started to rain and thunder, it was so loud so we went back home and play a game.

Today we are learning about the 'un' sound and we made a list of the word with the 'un' chunk on it. After that, we were solving a riddles and the answer all have the 'un' chunk in them and adding 'un' to a word. Then, we made a paragraph using the list of the words.  

Woodwork

Today, we were doing Woodwork for Tech. We draw 8 kinds of woodwork's and pick one of them to make and I pick the piano. I then measured the length and the width of the piano then start making it. We cut the wood in half and mark the joints using tri-square and then start chiseling the joints using wood chisel and mallet. We really had fun doing woodwork.
