History of books I have read - Panmure Bridge Book Week

Panmure Bridge school is celebrating book week. Books takes us on a journey in our mind. This is a pathway of my history about books till when I was 5 and now. My favorite book is the Geronimo Stilton Books or series. His books are really interesting and take you on adventures, with the pictures and words he writes. 

Formal and Informal Wirtinf

Formal -

It is my opinion that this litter is a health hazard. For example, yesterday a year 4 boy fell over and cut his hand on a broken bottle. The boy in question needed four stitches

Informal -

are you?. I’ve been dead busy since your last letter. We have to work really hard at school to get ready for our PAT tests.

Today in reading we have been focusing on informal and formal language. Formal means something that is written professionally, and informal means a letter that is written simply. Today we had two think about what doesn't go into a formal and informal writing. 

Features of a visual text - Reading

Today Ponui and Pakatoa,worked collaboratively together. We got given two books Manmade World and People Earth. The first page we labeled was the glossary, for this we than had two label different parts in the book, like the index or bold print. We than had to put the arrow with the word on it in the correct place in the book. 

Features of a visual text

Today Ponui and Pakatoa worked together. We got given arrows with different words on them that we had to label inside the book. The first page we did was the index page. After that we than had to chose another page that we had to label with the arrows. The book we used was called Great Scientists. 

Features of a visual text

Today for reading, our group collaboratively, worked with Motuihe and Rotarua. We all got given a arrow with a word on it. We had two put in the correct place in the book. I got given bold print. I had to look in the book where, there was bold print writing, I than had to label it, and put the arrow next to it.

Read theory

In reading we do read theory to help us get better in reading. As you can see my progress last time was not so good. This time I have improved on my score and grade. To get better I will read the text two times before answering so I have a clear understanding on which answer to pick. 

Mapping of the empire state building- Key into evaluation

Our task was two, create a DLO about the empire state building in NYC ( New your City). I than had to chose 5 other places near the empire state building, I would like to visit I also labeled the places.

The Inchape rock - Balled Poem

This week we have been focusing on the poem the inchcape rock. For this my favorite part was verse 10, because he deiced to steal all the treasure and be greedy but at the end he ended up going to hell for cutting the inchcape bell. 

M&M's Research

 This week we have been learning about M&M's, and the history be hide it. The m&ms was first invited in 1941. M&ms were given to the soldiers to eat, since it doesn't melt and they could still enjoy it. For this I worked collaboratively with Freeman, San Kyaw and Jousha V. This task was very interesting   

Unicycle Tricks

For key into evaluation our task was to find a video of someone doing unicycle tricks. We had to answer the questions from the text of key into evaluation. Ridding a unicycle sounds interesting but almost difficult to ride, because you have to balance a lot. 

Raurimu Spiral Research

In reading I answered all the questions to key into eveaolotion about the story Tunnel Vision.  After answering all the questions my next task was to create a DLO that shows research about the Raurimu Spiral. Did you know that it took 10 years to build. 

Read Theory - Results

In reading we have been doing read theory to help us. As you can see on my chart my levels are not that great. You can see I went from 16% to 42% than 16% again this means I haven't been really focused and trying my best to get a good level on read theory.

Skiing On Sewage- Reading

For reading today. Our group has read an article about skiing on sewage. This article is about people turning sewage water into snow. Some people didn't agree with this idea. But I think this idea of filtering sewage water and transforming it into snow is a good idea because its recycling something and making it into something good.
