SSR Selfiee

I read the whole book of Insects and creepy crawlies by Jinny Johnson.

This story is tells you lots of interesting facts about bugs and insects. I choose this book because I like to learn about bugs and insects..

I learnt interisting facts like, A male Rhinoceros beetle uses its horn to attake other males, and dung beetles roll animal poop into balls so the female can lay her eggs.

Basic Facts

I completed basic facts boxes up to 20. While dong the speed demon challenge you need to recall your basic facts.

I got 100/100 correct and my time was 6m 47s. I like doing speed domon challanges because It helps me recall my basic facts.

next time I will try to get faster at my basic facts up to 20. Then I will challenge myself and do my basic facts up to 100.

Making Connections

Making connections is a reading strategy that involves text to text, text to self, and text to world. These help you make connections.

Text to self is comparing a character or text to yourself.  An example of text to self is the highway rat steals food from the villagers because he can't go get his own, and I stole my dads food because he stole my food.

Text to text is comparing a text to another text. An example of text to text is when the duck tricked the rat so that she wouldn't get eaten and in the story little red riding hood the wolf pretended to be the grandma so that he could eat little red riding hood.

Text to world is comparing a text or character to someting that happens around the world. An example of text to world is The horse lets the rat ride him because they think they are partners, you can also see dance partners at ballet lessons. 

Making connections are an important way to understand a meaning or a similarity. Connecting texts to other things or people can help you understand similairities.

Kapa Haka And Waltz

For inquiry I had to compare 2 different dances from different cultures.

First I had to pick 2 different dances to compare. I chose Kapa Haka and the Waltz.

Then I had to write down all of the similarities that the dances had. The similarities are it is performed by men and woman, they are both traditional, they wear formal clothing, and it is mostly performed at parties.

Then I had to fin out some differences about the two dances. The differences about Kapa Haka to the waltz is that in Kapa Haka the woman wear flax puipui skirts, they use Poi, they wear feathers in their hair, it is used to identify Maori culture and the woman do wiri.

I learnt that in Kapa Haka the skirts they wear are called Flax Puipui skirts, and in the Waltz they dance with partners.

Fact Or Opinion

 I Inferred facts and opinions about the horse from the story The Highway Rat. Facts are true things and opinions are things you think about the character based on the fact.

First I had to listen to the story and the movie to get some facts about the horse or the duck. I chose the horse.

Then, I evaluated some of the facts about the horse from the story. Then I wrote some opinions about the Horse based on the fact.

Then once I finished my facts and opinions I had to write some adjectives to describe the character during that time period of the story. The adjectives supposed to describe the traits of the character and not their appearance.

I need to work more on my adjectives that describe the characters traits because some of my adjectives describes the appearance of the character.

  

Multiplication

 I did a Multiplication task.

First we had to learn what multiplication is to do this. Multiplication is a fast way for adding the same numbers many times. 

Then my group was given an unknown amount of counters. Then we had to put them into small groups of 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's of 5's.

Then I had to use multiplication to find out the unknown amount of counters. Once I used multiplication to find out the unknown amount, I put the counters into a rectangle.

I learnt that Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same numbers many times.
