T2 Week 1 Reflection ANZAC


What?


What I have learnt this week is that ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand army corps. Another thing I have been learning about this week is that this year ANZAC was the 100th anniversary. Also that scientists found out that rosemary flowers are things that help you remember special ceremonies or celebrations. Poppies are also things that are used to remember those people who fought in war.


So what?


The reason why we have learnt about ANZAC is because it’s something that Australian and New Zealand people should be doing to remember all those people who have fought  in world war 1 and sacrificed their lives for us. Not just that, if they did not go out and battle that would have meant we would be living in a world of terrible.( Being slaves, starving to death also world of miserable.)


Now what?

What I can do now is look for other websites or other learning sites about ANZAC and make a DLO explaining what I have learnt about ANZAC then present it to show my family or my friends.( Or teacher)

My end of Wk 8 reflection


What?
What I learnt about this week was about graphs. Our WALT was how graphs can be shown in two ways. The pie graph and the bar graph.
So what?
Graphs can be shown in two different ways, like in pie graphs and bar graphs because it can show the same data, but it  may not the the same data.
Now what?

Next I will try to show data in three ways and make sure that the data is correct.

Hi guys this reflection is about graphs.This week we have been learning about graphs and how to find the same data in two or three graphs.

My explanation on how to: survive your first night in Mine-craft



In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).
Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.



HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT


Is it your first night on minecraft… and you have no idea what to do? Well, read on because I’m going to explain how to survive your first night.


First, you collect some wood to make planks for, building tables and making tools. But here’s the catch you have only started so you're going to have to use your hands.Where you can find wood is from the trees you're going to have to have to break it with your hands, also you will have to collect sticks. How you can collect sticks is the same way as you collected the wood from the trees.This is going to be handy..


Second of all, you have to find a nice smooth, flat ground or a tree. Or you can dig in a mountain and not to far because when you wake up there is a chance that you may die. That’s why I recommend a tree because it’s better, as long as you secure the surrounding. Make sure it’s near resources(like water,food)  and make it away from mobs which are zombies, skeletons, spiders, creepers and endermen that can bite you to death. Have you found a good place to camp?


Thirdly, you should go out and get some resources. Get some leather. Where you will find leather is from cows, but you will have to kill the cow to get leather. Sometimes you will not get leather. After that you will have to find the cobblestones. Cobblestones are mostly found in the minds, so you will have to go minding. In the end you have wood to make all the other resources.(Torches,furnace,other resources…)
Also get food from pigs, cows and waters from the lake.


In conclusion, you're going to have to do something for me… find some friends to camp with.  What’s good about camping all alone. You got to have fun!!!

Signs of Success!

Wk Reading DLO 2015 23/02/15

Reflection 2015 Wk 4 Friday 27/02/15

Reflection…

What:

For reading this week, we have been focusing on defining the author’s purpose. Defining the author’s purpose means like to find out the main idea that the author is trying to remind you or tell you about something.

So what:

The reason why we have been doing this is because it helps us understand the text and also it helps us evaluate the author’s thinking. Mostly it means thinking beyond  the surface of the story.

Now what:

Next, I can use this strategy when I am reading another text and also it can help me improve my learning in better ways. This has helped me find the author’s purpose faster.
