Celebrating my success in 2018

Over the last two weeks we have been looking back at the year that has been 2018 and thinking about our achievements and success. Here is my learning celebration for 2018.

W.A.L.T: Character Description

This week when the people were athletics the teacher read the book, ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. We got to do activities around the book. The one I choose was character description. We get to choose the character we want to describe. I choose scissors. We had to describe the outside and the inside of the character after reading the book. Here is the drawing with my work in it.

Fractions Think Board

This week for maths Mrs P gave us this fraction think board. The fraction think board is different types of ways you can work out fractions. 

For this activity i needed lots of help because I didn't know most of the parts of this activity. I thought this activity was fun and hard because you choose the fraction you wanted and you use different types of shapes for working  out your answers.

 For me fractions are really hard I also dislike them because i'm not very good at working out fractions. Here is my think board.

WALT: Use precise adjectives in our writing to add interest to our readers

For literacy this week Mrs Clark gave us a doc and a picture and we had to make a story with our imaginations. We used nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. My favourite bit about this activity was

My story

In an old abandoned garage my friend and I were wandering in
there and we heard the fluttering of the dead lights. I thought I heard
something so I turned around but nothing was there and when I
turned
back my friend was gone! So I went looking around the garage I
couldn't  find her ,she had disappeared. I was very scared at this point
I didn’t know what to do. I heard someone walking towards me, I
started walking away scaredly. I ran towards the door to get out of here
but the door was locked! I started to panic I heard strange noises I
wondered where the noise came so I looked around  the garage and I
found a ghost it sounded like the ghost was crying. I was so scared and
I ran to the door and banged on the door but nothing happend. I had
nothing to do but call the police but I realized that there was no signal
on my phone… then I started to panic so bad that I fainted. When I
woke up I saw that I fell and hit my head on the concrete so hard the
my head started to bleed so much. I screamed so loudly  the my head
started to bleed more and more. Now I couldn't feel anything I heard
the police sirens. But then I heard nothing I only could see things but
now I can’t...

Self assessment.

The things I think I’ve done well

My descriptive language, my imagination.

The things I need to work on.

Adding more of my words, to make the story make sense.   

Pair assessment.

Things that were done well:

I like how you could tell how the main character of the story
was feeling for example: I heard someone walking towards
me, I started walking away scaredly.

I like how you explained what was going on with adjectives verbs
etc.

Things to work on:

Maybe you could try using more adjectives, adverbs, verbs and
nouns in the characters speech to give it more of a punch.
