Loud Word Climb

This is a word climb on the word loud. I created the google drawing so that it looked interesting. Next time in my writing I will definitely use these words instead of loud.

ReadTheory

Today we took our star test. The star test is about your reading comprehension. I think that I have improved in my star test because this time I didn't have to hurry because I was running out of time but I had enough time to go through and check my answers. When I went through my answers I realised an obvious mistake wich I was able to correct. Read theory has helped me alot with my comprehension as you read the text then answer questions. I started at grade five then went up to grade seven!

Wright Brothers - Fact Sheet




This is a fact sheet about the Wright brothers. The Wright brother is known by some to be the first to fly. I collaborated with Nazella to create this facts sheet. I know now many things about the wright brothers and about how they came to think about flight

Main Idea - Wright Brothers

Today we were learnt four structures that are in a text. These are scaffold text, complimentary text, challenge text and self selected text. We read about the wright brothers using the scaffold of the four structures. The scaffold is the structure which you build up your knowledge with facts etc. We then made a DLO about the main idea about the text using the facts.

Influenza


This Prezi is all about the flu. As this is the most common type of sickness I thought it would be important as to why we have the flu and how to prevent it. There are many interesting and crazy facts bout how the Saxons cured their symptoms. Our class used the word generator and instead of word we put in letters. From there the generator would generate a letter and we would learn about something starting with that letter. I got the letter S so I chose sickness. As I was searching up about sickness I ended up going deeper and deeper into learning about influenza.

Smart searching with Miss.Oglvie


On Wednesday the year eight and six's learned how to search the right information needed when researching. I have created a DLO about to narrow a search this is one of the most important things to do when researching to find the information that you want. She led us to some websites that will help us majorly with our learning. All of the year eight's are teaching the year sevens all about what we learned with Miss.Ogilvie.We now have much less of a problem when smart searching.
