WALT skim read to locate specific information and retell

Hi again, for this reading week we were focusing on Cultures in New Zealand I chose ‘Nian the New Year Monster‘. It’s about when, every winter, a ferocious monster rampages through a village, It forces everyone to flee into the caves until Nian left. But 2 young children Yen and Jun find a wa to stop Nian for Good!

Create Task 1

For create task 1, we were supposed to chose our favorite character from the book and use 5 adjectives to describe them. I wrote why I liked Nian, one of my reasons were I’m interested in Mythical Creatures, another was he looked cool with all the detail! Then, I moved on to my 5 adjectives they were Frightening, Spine-Chilling, Terrifiying, Spooky and Horrifiying. This create task was probably the easiest.

Create Task 2

For Create Task 2 we needed to find the main facts from either the Scaffholding, Complementary or Challenge text and put them in 6 boxes in our mind map. My first fact was ‘In the New year, people get ready and clean their house‘ and it also said to highlight the fact you found most interesting. This was the most interesting fact I found ‘People visit family and friends. They give each other oranges for good luck’. This task was easy almost as easy as create task one.

CHECK OUT MY MINDMAP 👍👍👍👍👍

Create Task 3

For number 3, we had do, on a Canva Video, write a summary of our story that was about 2-3 sentences. This part only took a few minutes. I explained who Nian is and when he comes, I also wrote about the 2 characters who find a way to stop Nian from invading their village. Then, I recorded myself reading Create Task 1, it was about 21 seconds long and was very easy, I also read the adjectives back in Create Task 1 (Frightening, Spine-Chilling, Terrifiying, Spooky and Horrifiying).

Hey, Bloggers this week is week 8 and today we were learning about cultural arts!! This week I decided to do ‘Painted Hoe‘. This book was about the paddles that the Maori used to paddle their Waka’s around the Pacific ocean.

Create task 1

The goal of this create task was to write 10 facts from your book and present them on a FLIP video. First, I got 10 facts from my book and summarized most of the questions. The facts 7-10 were hard to find because there weren’t much facts left but I didn’t allow that to stop me. I looked near the end of the book to find that there were some pages after the Glossary. Then, I was on to my FLIP video. It took a few recordings because I kept messing my words up. Then, finally I finished recording myself saying all 10 facts. This wasn’t the easiest create task but it was medium hard.

CHECK OUT MY FLIP!!!

Create Task 2

For Create tasks 2 we needed to record ourselves reading 2 pages of our chosen book. That’s what I did. In chose page 1 and 3 to read. My recording to 1:07 seconds. I put in pictures of Maori paddles, Waka’s and made the size of my recording a bit bigger, I also changed the background color to Brown. This task was about as easy as create task 1 medium hard.

Hi again bloggers (and others)!!

In week 7 every book was about cultural arts, not like drawing art, like martial arts and stuff like that. The book that I chose on Monday (because I wasn’t here on Friday) was ‘Not Just Kicking and Punching’. This book was about Ju-Jitsu a martial art performed mostly in Japan.

Create task 1

Create tasks 1 was about getting facts from your book and presenting them on a ‘Flip’. First I got the first and most major fact from the book and did the same with the nest 9. I took about 10-20 minutes. Then I typed in all 10 of my facts in my Flip video. But at the end of the reading session I accidentally deleted it :(. But today I recorded myself reading it. I think this create task was medium level of hard.

CHECK OUT MY FLIP VIDEO!!!!!

Create Task 2

For create task 2 we had to make  a Kahoot! about our book. First, there was a template that we made a copy of to plan our questions. There were 10 facts in all of the question blocks and 40 in the options boxes. This planning was very easy but took a bit of time. Here check out the planning sheet!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, I moved onto my Kahoot!. I put in the first question which is up there and added pictures of Ju-Jitsu and other images related to what I was typing up. I put some True or false questions up as well. This Kahoot! was kinda hard and kinda easy, BOTH really medium!!!

Hey guys, today we had a book selection of different arts that were practiced across NZ. I chose ‘Earth Paints‘. It was focusing on the aboriginal arts and how you can make them.

Create task 1

For create task 1, we had to find 2 facts about the chosen art. First, I used the book for advice on it’s ingredients and where you can portray it. Then, In used my own knowledge about Earth paints and Aboriginal arts. This create task wasn’t very hard. Because I already had some practice with the 10-fact document before.  If  I could rate this create task out of 10 and easiest it’d be 7/10.

The next part of create 1 was 1-b. This was presenting my facts on either a drawing, slides or Canva. I chose slides, I assumed it was the easiest so I chose it. I put in my facts from the previous part and put in images of the type of art and that’s what I did.

Check it out!!!!

Create Task 2

For create task 2 I made a Gazelle using circles in the shapes section. I think this wasn’t my best Aboriginal art yet, but I could improve on this type of art. First I used brown circles for the body. My first idea was to make a snake, but then I realized it was way too hard for a kid like me. So half way through finishing my snake I decided that it looked like a Gazelle so I switched to a Gazelle. I used the line drawing tool to make the horns. I transformed a black circle into an oval for the eye and changed the background color to a Reddish-Brown for the skin an background of my Gazelle. After which I put in the ways to make the Aboriginal art itself.

Create task 3

The 3rd and final create task was making a Newspaper article basing it off a certain art then putting in the main events of NZ art. My chosen art

was ‘Down and Gritty’. This picture showed a man walking back to his home after work looking a bit sad. So in the text I wrote that it was a sad and sorrow type of art, picturing when life wasn’t exactly as good as it was today. Then, I made the main events of the NZ art and some about my chosen art.

Thanks for reading 😁😁😁😁😁

Hi guys, today – another swimming day – I finished the last must do for the task board. But these were new questions. They were a bit harder. Me and my buddy Haroun started on the first question. I’d already finished  the first new question. Haroun did the second slide and I did the third. Most questions were very hard (next level!!!!!). We weren’t entirely sure though.

For week 9 & 10 book choices I did secret pizza party. The first task was a character backpack, then, I created a crossword puzzle. After that, I had to mix and match a story.

This week for reading I did the book The Journey. It was about how the famous “Godwits” travel from Alaska to New Zealand. First, I made a setting where the Godwits were in the story and described it with the 5 senses. Then we made it with  a google drawing.

Thanks for reading!
