Peace Week 2017

I have been learning about Peace Week.

Peace Week is an annual tradition organised by The Peace Foundation every year. You can learn more about The Peace Foundation by following this LINK.

As a way to learn about Peace Week I did three different Peace Week activities.

With Miss Brennan we created a poster to help promote peace and Peace Week.

With Mrs Baker we made hand print doves and wrote messages of peace on them.

With Mr Horn we looked at the symbols of peace such as the dove and created origami doves.

Here is an example of one of my activities

Reading Papango

I am learning to apply our prior knowledge to a text.
I'll know I can do this when I can think of ways I have connections to a text and I can use those connections to help decode unfamiliar words and ideas.
Something I learned was that a bird can have eggs that look like rocks.

Maths Tapawha

I am learning to order fractions with different denominators.I'll know I can do this when I can Explain and show the order of single fractions with different denominators from smallest to largest value.
Something I found hard was fractions.

Art Don Binney

I am learning to create art inspired Don Binney. I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are coloured using pastels and natural colours.
Next time I will try to keep in the lines. 

Creative Writing - Scripts

We are learning to write scripts to create a play.

We know we are successful if our script has:
- multiple characters
- a setting
- character speech
- stage direction (in a different colour to the speech)

Once we have written our scripts we are creating the plays using Puppet Pals.

My play is called "Alien Attack"

Student Led Conference

My highlight at my student led conference was my maths because I got to do a math game race around the clock my dad timed me on my tens.

I am most proud of is my reading because I finished  all my self  managed leaning activities.

I think my parents enjoyed  my tiki because I put a lot of effort into it.

Next time I will try to be more confident.
