My Reflection Term 2 Week 9
Maths in maths we learnt how to reverse our division question into a multiplication question to check our answer. I feel confident about division because I know most timetables, So the makes division a fraction easier. (get the pun "Fraction"). Me, Kayla and Emily Ba came up with a new maths game, its like the area game we're going to show Mr Gemmel and see if it's okay to show the class.
Reading in reading we did proof reading and editing about Jaguars, fist we have to find the 10 mistakes, and then we have to copy it out into our books. I find it not to hard but not easy to find the 10 mistakes. We also did book talk, I shared the book worlds worst children 2.
Speeches okay don't get me wrong I like speeches, but I was VERY nervous. My speech was about bees and what will happen without them, here is a link ----> Dylan's Speech

Maths in Maths we did this division book and had to do these division problems with a 0 in the quotient. It was hard and fun I got 2 wrong most people got some wrong too. After that we did risk and me and Emily won. I like maths and I think i'm improving I'm in the super stars maths group, That's for the people that understand division and want to move on into harder division.
Reading in Reading we had to proof read, then edit, then hand write. Wen also did weekly spelling. And book talk and reading books. I like reading and if I get a good book I will not stop reading it.
Writing in Writing we had to write a speech about if the school got 3 million dollars what we would by with money, and i chose a bigger playground. And it had to go to Mrs Cullen after. (gulp)

My Reflection Term 2 Week 6
In maths this week we did division problems and learnt how to do long division, We also watched a video about long division and all the steps to do it correctly, and how to break it into small steps. I like division because I am good at times so i'm fine with division.
In Reading this week we did weekly spelling. I found it hard to be able to find the definition for all the words because our words were contractions. We did proof reading an handwriting as well, first we had to proof read it then we had to edit the mistakes then hand write it. I found it hard to find the mistakes but the handwriting bit was easy.
In writing we did speech, now I feel OK about speeches but sharing then is a whole other story. I've finished my speech and have written it on docs and have been making a few adjustments.
In inquiry we have been making a slide show about free range chickens vs caged chickens it's fun making slide show I recon we should make then more often.
In rotations we did no music with Rm 8 because of the Queens Birthday.
Rm 9 we did gymnastics and I know I've said it in every other blog but I LOVE gymnastics I do competition gymnastics and have to do a higher level so I have to do gymnastics at morning tea.
Rm 10 we did netball and learnt how privet and did a game called window wipers. We did a boy vs girl match of netball it was fun but a bit unfair. The score was 0 nil.

We also did some tactic working out so we know how to work out questions easy like... 63 divided by 7 = ? so 7 x 8 = 63 so 63 divided by 7 = 8 that's called reversing. We did lots more tactics to.
Reading: This week in Reading we have been learning : when adding a suffix vowel drop the e, When adding a suffix constant keep the e. We also did some proofreading and editing. It was about diamondback rattlesnakes. I learnt a lot from that.

Maths: In maths we went down to the mat with Mrs Bryant, We had to do equation like this.
363 x 3
(300 + 60 + 3) x 3
300 x 3 = 900
60 x 3 = 180
3 x 3 = 9
900 + 180 + 9 = 1089
We also did Mathletics and games; area, risk and lots of other options. # i love maths it's fun

Integrity games
Integrity games
Our game was called speed run lots of kids liked it this is how it goes>SPEED RUN ( click to view.)
most of the kids found it fun but some got confused about the tag the tagger bit. I found it hard to control the kids now I know how teachers feel. 😐 It was a sunny day all the kids huffing and puffing sounded like they needed a drink desperately. I now know that I need to improve on the instructions like maybe the runners don't tag the taggers. Instead when you get tagged you stand still then when they call the next colour the runners can crawl under you and you are free.
