Reciprocal Reading

We used reciprocal reading on What We Invested. The roles of reciprocal reading are leader, predicter, clarafier, questioner. and summariser. 

The PDF was about how much the material cost.

While reading the clarafier role was the most helpful because it identifyed the tricky words.

By doing this we now understand that reciprocal reading can be useful if you miss any text.

I enjoyed doing reciprocal reading because my favourite role was clarifer. 

Next we did reciprocal reading on What we Ate. This talks the soldier's diet being poor and vitamin C curing scurvy. The soldier's diet were hard crakers, bully beef, and jam. 

The most inportant role was summariser because it summarised the parts we missed. 

Simple Machines

Introductions

Introductions are a short piece of writing. 

First we wrote introductions about Mr Ogilvie. Then we wrote down sentences about ourselves.

Then we wrote introduction about fireworks.  Here is an example of a firework. Did you know that fireworks were originated in China around 2000 years ago. It consist of powder,fuse, and flash paper. When all three mixtures are together it will make a loud bang.  

Afterwards we wrote a introduction about choclate. Did you know the largest chocolate bar weighted 5, 79.50 kgs. Choclate is made by roasting the cocoa beans then melting it into choclate liquor. Then blending it with milk and sugar

Lastly we wrote a introduction about a life cycle of a butterfly. Did you know that butterflys taste with their feet. The life cycle of a butterfly takes 4 steps. They are eggs, caterpillar, chrysails, and butterfly. The life cycle of a butterfly takes 28 to 32 days. 

This was intresting because I learnt how to get the author's attention.  

 

Balancing

 I did a hockey stick acvitiy. I first balanced on 1 leg and held the hockey stick. My partner Emmanuel was rolling the ball to me. I had to stop the ball and then hit it. I found this activity hard because I couldn't keep my balance.

I then did a frisbee activiy. I balanced on 1 leg and threw the frisbee to my partner. I found this easy because my left leg was able keep still while throwing the frisbee. 

After that I  did a basketball activity. I had to throw the ball to my partner while balancing. I found this easy because my right leg was able to keep still while throwing the ball.

Afterwards I did a netball activity. I had to throw the ball to my partner while balancing. I found this task hard because my partner tried to make me reach my tipping point by throwing the ball sideways. 

Lastly I did a rugby actvity. I had to pass the ball to my partner. I found this task hard because while I was passing the ball I was losing my balance.
