Bar-Tailed Godwit Storyboard That

Made with Storyboard That

This is a DLO that I created on Bar-Tailed Godwits. Our task was a to make a comic strip on Bar-Tailed Godwits using storyboard that. First we created a comic strip. Then we got some of the most interesting facts about the Godwit and we put it on the comic strip. This was my first time doing something like this so it took a while to get the hang of it. It was actually pretty fun to use with all of the backgrounds and characters you could use.

Hyperbole

Today for writing, LS2 was learning what hyperbole means. Hyperbole is a exaggeration. A example is: I've had millions of interruptions in this classroom today. You probably wouldn't have had millions. Maybe heaps of interruptions, but certainty not millions.

Recounts

Today Mrs Anderson's writing group looked at some recounts written by people in different schools. We went on the blogs of people who were in the Manaiakalani cluster. Next, we put the link to the blog post with the recount onto a drawing and a reason why we thought it was good. Next we had a recount quiz. I scored 10 out of 10.

Measurement Activity

This is a paper plane collage that I made. Yesterday LS2 had some fun and worked to together in groups to make paper planes. We designed and trialed many different planes to see which one went the furthest. My plane flew the most distance out of the people in my group. I used a website to get some ideas, but many people made their planes out of what the already knew, or a youtube video. 

Bar-Tailed Godwits

This is a DLO on bar-tailed godwits that my group made. The bar-tailed godwits are a bird that makes the furthest migration each year. They go from New Zealand all the way to Alaska. First we were sorted into groups and made a digital sketch note. Then we made a DLO to show our learning.

The Shake Out Movie

The Shake Out from The Outlook for Someday on Vimeo.

Here is a movie that Latham, Sylis, Jasmine, Reon and I made. It was about a earthquake that happened at school. It was made for a competition called The Outlook For Someday. If you like it, please click the heart on the top right corner. I hope you enjoyed watching it!

Smart Searching

This is my mini inquiry task that I did with Shannon. We used a random letter generator to come up with a topic. We got the letter A and decided to learn about the Aztecs. We made a slide explaining who the Aztecs were and we thought of three questions we could use to learn more about the Aztecs.
