maths combinations

Writing Reflection

Room 5 has been learning about writing a refection about our work. A little while a ago we wrote a report about a native animal so we wrote our reflection about that. Here it is, hope you enjoy it.

We are learning to reflect on our learning.  To help me write a successful report in a group, usually one or two people in the group research on different sites to get it done quicker. Sometimes I don’t know what to write because I have taken the best ideas out in the earlier sentences. What I liked about working with buddies and writing a report is having time with my friends and doing a report about nature at the same time. It was a bit difficult because I sometimes got distracted by the group and had to keep getting them on track. I could research a it more before I write the report.

I preferred to work with a group because you can research quicker and get work done faster. The good thing that happened in the group was that a lot of the group, including me, worked relentlessly. A flaw was that one person in the group would get stuck frequently. Maybe next time I could help anyone that needed it with every spare moment I have.     

Sea Dives Stop Motion Animation

On Wednesday 6th of September Room 5 made stop motion animations. A stop motion animation is when you make a slideshow and you show a little story by duplicating the slide then moving the character a bit to make it really look like they are moving. Because of this it usually takes up a lot of slides. We could choose any topic to do it on so I chose to make mine about diving in the sea. Here is my stop motion animation slideshow about diving in the sea. Hope you enjoy it.

In my group in reading we made a DLO google drawing about Vesuvius and what sights, sounds, smells and feelings we would have had if we were a normal citizen in the city when Vesuvius erupted.
