SSR Selfie

I read the whole book of Karen's Roller Skates by Ann M. Martin and Katy Farina.

This story is about when Karen was roller skating but she broke her arm and did some crazy things!

I like Karen because I think that she was very brave by going to the "Witches" house, and getting her autograph.

Stop Littering Reasons

I wrote 5 reasons on why people should stop littering for my persuasive speech.

First I needed to pick one of the topics from my traffic light topics. I chose the topic Stop littering. I chose that topic because if we stopped littering then it would help the world.

Next I thought of some reasons why people should litter. my reasons were: if you could recycle it could be turned into a product, When you litter the chemicals could get into the water then get in human food and poison us, When you litter it could fly into the ocean and sit there while animals eat it, If we kept recycling then the world would look better and more clean, litter can cause serious consequences for the environment like: pollute the air, kill animals, and it could even start acid rain. My favourite reason is litter can cause serious consequences for the environment like: pollute the air, kill animals, and it could even start acid rain.

Finally I had to find websites to back up all of my reasons. I found some websites to back up all five of my reasons. I also found a video to help persuade people.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt alot of reasons why you should not litter.

Pointless, Painful, Physical Education

I made a synthesis egg and a QAR template about a text called Pointless, Painful, Physical Education.

First I made Synthesis egg template where I wrote my prior knowlegde, my new information, and my new understandings. Prior knowledge is somthing that I already know, new information is something new that you learnt, and new understandings is what you unerstand now.

After that I answered questions and put them under one of the catagories called: right there, think and search, author and me, and on my own.

Right there is when you can just point to the answer. Think an search is when the answer is in the text but you need to think and search for it. Author and me is when the answer is not in the text, but you have to have use the information that the author has wrote to get the answer. On my own is when you can just go up to someone and ask them a question, and they will give an answer.

Water Safety W3

I went back to the pools to do water safety for Week 3.

First I learnt how to do side arm strokes. To do side arm stroke I learnt how to float on my side. Then I learnt how to move my arms and legs in and out.

Next I learnt how to spin like a seal on a diving board. To spin like a seal I sat on the diving board, got off the platform, and started spinning. I spun for a long time but then I fell off the board after some time.

Last I learnt how to spin on my back while doing front armstrokes. First I had to do normal armstrokes. Then I had to Flip on my back, breath, and turn around and do front arm strokes again.

I enjoyed spinning on my back while doing arm strokes because I already knew how to do it.

Traffic Light Topics

I thought of some ideas to use in a persuasive speech and colour coded them.

First I watched 2 videos that said that to persuade you need to brainstorm and plan ideas. When you brainstorm you need to come up with some ideas of what you want to persuade. planning is when you pick your topic and write what you want to say when you are persuading.

Next I brainstormed some ideas that I could use to persuade someone under the categories I chose. The three categories I chose were personal, sports team , and world. I brainstormed 13 ideas.

Last I colour coded all of my ideas into the colours red, yellow, and green. Red means stop, don't proceed, yellow means slow down, and green means proceed. The colour I used the most was green.

I enjoyed colour coding all of my ideas that I brainstormed.
