Awesome Abode

Kia ora bloggers,

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example, Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realized he had just missed the bus.  But instead, I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realized that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

Crazy Compass

Kia ora Bloggers,

This week in maths we have been looking at angles and polygons. We have been determining the interior angles of a shape as well as drawing some shapes using a compass- not a North/South compass, but a pair of compasses that you draw circles with. 

A little run down of my knowledge is this.

And here are some examples of the work we have done on angle

Majestic Mashup

Hey Bloggers,
Isn't it good to be back at school I have really enjoyed it.

My third slide is a poster about how to stop Covid-19 in school  I found this really fun to draw every thing

Super Survival

In literacy we have been reading Going Solo by Roald Dahl. It tells his story from where Boy left off. 

He went to Africa to work for The Shell Company and he has many adventures there. Some of these are really funny. 

He then joined the RAF to fly in WW2. 

We have recreated a part of the story where his plane crashes in the desert.
He manages to survive although he is blinded by the crash and badly injured.He does get his sight back eventually.

Going Solo is a great novel that I would recommend you read.

Have you read this book before tell me if you have please in the comments
