Pages to screen:

Your probably wondering what in the world are they talking about ! Well this is our topic and we are focusing on movies that were books first ! Me and my partner chose " Alice in Wonderland" ! And we have to link the book to technology, and we put shrinkable foods for Alice in wonder -land!



Animation:

Some people have started to put together an animation using a computer program called "I can animate " I personally never knew that making an animation would be so easy ! Nothing is impossible its just difficult sometimes.

Word of week:perseverance

Reflection Term 3 Week 2 Awesome maths week. Played heaps of Maths games. Kids design their own 100 square metre house on paper then sketched on the courts. Students gain excellent understanding how big square metres are. Next step to make house on sketch up and integrate with language. Maori language week focused on basic language. Poor student knowledge need to do this regularly. Research questions started. Concentrated on using Keywords to find information. Lot more work needed. Students completed recount. This again needs more work, especially replacing words and perserving to complete quality work. I put the breaks on the animation to develop storyboard. Text still needed. Students really engaged but need to break down the process more. Cartoon not started. Focus next week problem solving, replacing:Editing and comprehension strategies.

Word of week: strive

Reflection Week 3 The students made a criteria for animation.Students now need to remember to use them consistently. In maths students learnt how to measure liqu ids and how to find volume. Students were really good at estimating. In problem solving students used the strategy guess and check. This will be extended in during Maths Week.The 2 words that we concentrated on were STRIVE, PERSEVERANCE. Reediting and striving todo their best was focused on. FOR READING STUDENTS CONCENTRATED ON FINDING KEYWORDS. THIS WAS INTEGRATED INTO MATHS AND TOPIC.

Word of week:Consideration. Reflection Discussion based around camp this week to ease the mind of those who are not convinced. Awesome week of Problem Solving.Used NZ Maths problem solving site and Nz maths week site. Students draw, guess and checked and draw tables to solve problems. Questions and keywords still prove a stumbling block. Reading integrated with writing centred around identifying key words and note taking and making. Aces needed support. Next step looking at conjunctions for mags and Aces. Students also work on their wikis. Awesome success with animations. Boys will able to manage themselves and incorporate many points from the success criteria. Girls not as successful and many lacked the detail included by the boys. Aim was to complete animations by Friday. Josh,Vincent,Nikki,Montel, Jesse and Navajo just meeting deadline but quality not what it could have been. Will assess together using our criteria next week. Maths week another huge success with lots of support by the students in room 10.

Key Competencies Camp: Making Ram's and Rules and timetables for camp. have students make a Camp goal.

Maths: Class Achievement Objective: Know forward and backward counting sequences with whole numbers to at least 1000. Specific Learning Outcomes: Use their knowledge of number sequence to order numbers. Activity: The students play this game in pairs. One partner chooses a number between 0 and 1000 and writes it on a piece of paper without shwoing the other person. The person guessing asks questions about the size of the secret number. For example "is it smaller than 500?". The person with the secret number answers "yes" or "no". The students can count the number of question it takes to guess the secret number.

Times Group: Maths Multiplication Only games on the class Wiki. Times: The Missing Ones/Jumping the Number Line 233+?=450

Skippers/Groupies: Work Sheet :The Missing Ones/Jumping the Number Line 23+?=45..

Division Maths Group Could you work with this group Specific Learning Outcomes: represent decimal numbers in a variety of ways Required Resource Materials: A3 paper Activity: Write a decimal number on the board (to two decimal places). Brainstorm different ways to represent it. For example 3.81 could be expressed as; Three point eight one 3 + 0.8 + 0.01 (3 x 1) + (8 x 0.1) + (1 x 0.01) 381 / 100 4 – 0.19  Three and eighty one hundredths 7.62 / 2 Give each student a decimal number and ask them to represent in as many ways as they can. Depending on the level of individual students they could be to one, two, or three decimal places. Less confident students could work in pairs. Students could present their work on a sheet of A3 paper to be displayed on the wall. As the students work encourage them to use a variety of approaches (not just a whole list of addition sums). Word of week: Respect /Values/Tone of Voice

Reflection Busy week, Monday atended ERO lecture on their changes. Visited Camp in the afternoon. Tuesday half my class shared internet sites and how to make wiki’s and classtool games with 6 groups of students from the Horowhenua area. Impressive to see the skills of the students in Room 10 and how they could explain their learning to others. Excellent reliever who worked on dance, and ukulele. Maths lessons focused around NZmaths activities. Subracting and adding by estimating groups of 10’s was encouraged. Decimal place and division were concentrated on by Times and Division group. Wednesday and Thursday I concentrated on consoliadatinng maths facts learnt on Mon/Tues. Preparing for Camp : timetable and RAM’s was our topic focus. Wednesday Room 10 worked with Room 11 on designing animations.A lot more preparation is needed by Room 11 before this continues. A big focus on connectives was my literacy focus. More work needed on this. Sick on Friday.
