I waited for the Bus

WALT:Add Detail to our sentences to give detail to the reader.

For this activity we had to Choose a simple sentence out of Alana stood on the step,I waited for the bus or I got a call for 5 minutes and I choose to do the sentence I waited for the bus.Also for this activity we had to add in one sentence/word for each new line.Every time that we add something new in we have to start another sentence and write more things.We had to write a adjective,when,where,how and why.  Here is my explanation

Goal Setting

W.A.L.T Goal set using our testing data.

 For this activity we had to read off our sheet of paper that says the questions from the test that we have done and see what our goals will be depending on what questions that you got wrong.Also we are doing a personal goal which is a goal that can be something at home or something else that you want to work on I really enjoyed this activity.

The Mines afire

WALT: Recreate A scene from our Class Novel in a visual format using imovie.

For this activity we had to create a short movie trailer for our Class novel that we were reading called Mines afire.I really enjoyed this activity My favourite parts about it were when I was doing the videoing and also when I took some of the pictures.We have learnt quite a lot of information from this book.The scene that we were recreating was when it was the explosion in the Brunner Mine and everyone was pretending to be really sad.Next time when we make another video I think that we hopefully will work better as a team and bring in some props because this time we all forgot to bring in some props.

Poetry Anthology

We have been learning a variety of different types of poems such as Cinquain,Acrostic,Haiku,Raps,and Limerick poems.Most of these Poems are really hard but I gave them a go but the hardest poem to write was probably a Limerick and my favourite Poem was my acrostic poem because I like writing acrostic poems about my dog.

Westport Camp

Recently we got back from an Amazing Camp in Westport and it was really fun we did so many amazing interesting things on Camp we all really enjoyed it and for this years Camp our topic was mining so we learnt a lot about the mines and we even went to a working mine which was called Stockton so for this activity we had to make a slide about Camp and add in 3 things that we learnt and 3 of our favourite things that we did on Camp and I also added in some photos.

Brunner Mine site

WALT: Research to find the answer.

For this activity we had to think of a key question about the Brunner mine or how It exploded and then we had to search up the answer to that question and write some facts about the Brunner mine and add some pictures of the mine and what it used to look like. Personally I think this activity was really fun and I hope that we get to do more activities about the Brunner mine.

What would you do?

WALT:Make predictions and inferences.The purpose of this activity was to share our thoughts how we could help our community in a disaster like the explosion that happened in the book we are reading called mines afire so this is what I would do to help my community in a disaster like this.
