Birds Of North America Reading Work

Hey there bloggers! I'm back! This post is about the reading work that I have done about Birds Of North America. And we had a range of activities that we had to do and there is a photo of the activities that we had to do down below.  I had lot's of fun making these activities because they were interesting and fun to make or do. I hope you enjoy my post and learned new things about Birds Of North America!

My reflection of the term!

Reflection of the term

Questions

What's worked well?

What I’m proud of this term?
How have I shown my YMS qualities? (When and How)

Are there some things that haven't gone well for me? Why?

What challenged me and how did I through the challenge?

What will be my focus next term?

Something that has worked well for me this term is mostly everything especially my maths because I have learned new things that I didn’t really get. I have shown my YMS qualities in the playground at break times by playing fair with others and also at Winter Sports too because whenever we lost, we still didn’t lose hope and when we won, we just did a small cheer and that was it. This term, there hasn’t been anything that hasn’t gone wrong to me. Somethings that has challenged me is probably the maths investigations because at first when I read it, I don’t really get what is trying to say but as I keep reading it, I get it. But then after when we have to show our working out, I always forget so if I did my working out on a whiteboard then I will rub it out and forget to take a photo but when I try to show my working out again, I forget because I already know the answer and I can’t write it again. Something else that has challenged me was also in maths except it was the things that we had to learn like the fraction stuff because I wasn’t here on the day and when I came back I didn’t really get how to solve the faction things but then, the people in my group and my teachers helped to understand it because they are awesome. In reading when we had our reading group and did I think that means about the volcanoes or rainbows, it was challenging because I sort of understood it but I didn’t really know how to explain it with kind of copying the text but now it is a bit easier since we do “I think that means... “ more.  I think that my focus next term will be, to understand the text more in reading when we have “I think that means... “

How to write a Cinquain!

Hey there bloggers!
I'm back, anyway, today I will be teaching you how to write a Cinquain which is a type of poem but before I teach you how to write one, I will teach you an important thing about the Cinquain poem.
Cinquain poems are a five-lined poem but none of them rhyme and created by Adelaide Craspey.
Although even if it is a five lined poem, you have to have a certain type of sentence for each line.
And for each line, you have a certain amount of words that you can write.

In the first line, you have to have a title but it has to be about something, for example, you could do your poem about an animal or a person say for example a cat. So you would put Cat in your first line, then in your second line, you have to write a description or example of the title but it must be 2 words. So if your poem was about a Cat, then you would put something that would describe it, say you could write, Fast, speedy. In the 3rd line, you have to write a 3 words phrase, for example, jumps, attacks sleeps? I don't know. In the 4th line, you would describe a feeling about the title so maybe you could write lonely looking for friends and then in the last line you would write a synonym for the title which has to be one word. To make it even better, you could add a gif or photo!

Here is a poem that I have made and it is about Friends and I hope that you enjoy it and I hope that you have learned something new!

Friends

Nice, graceful

Running, jumping, laughing

Wild like a tiger

Family

Want to be an editor? Be like me!

A lot of people want to be a                          I had sent my first story to

newspaper editor but they                             the newspaper makers and

need to learn how to do it                              they said that they liked it,

perfectly. In this part of the                            but they had changed some

newspaper, I will be writing                          things but it was still fine and

how it is editing and writing                          I liked it. I started sending

a newspaper. But here is a                             stories for the newspapers

little bit about me. My first                             and comments for what they

job was at the checkout at                              could improve on and since I

Paknsave but I had a passion                          kept doing it, they hired me as

for writing stories. I started                             an editor because they thought

editing newspapers in 1998                            that my improvements that I gave

and have still done it until                                to them were really helpful.

now and I have written some                       

newspaper stories too. Here                          Something challenging was

is how I have settled in with                           changing the words because

being an editor.                                               some of them used words that

                                                                       weren’t interesting and were

                                                                        just plain words so I had to find

                                                                        perfect words that would suit

                                                                        that. I had to work most of the

                                                                        time and it was really stressing for

                                                                        my brain but since I kept doing

                                                                        that my brain has gotten used

                                                                        to it and at first it was pretty

                                                                        challenging but now I find it

                                                                        very easy.

Hey Bloggers! I'm back! Anway, in my class, we have been writing newspapers which is something new for me because I don't write newspapers and I didn't how to write newspapers but now I do thanks to our wonderful teachers! We had to write our newspapers o this site but mine wouldn't let me type so I had to do mine on a google doc which was pretty challenging and took a long time but it turned out great. To be successful at writing newspapers then you must have these things in it... 

• Headline must have pun, rhyme or alliteration
• Have an intro that has the 5 w's
• In sections or paragraphs
• Past tense
• 3rd person
• Includes a quote
• Used speech marks around the quote
• Ends with a conclusion

Do you think I have done all of them?
I would love for feedback on what I could improve on next time and if you have any questions then please ask!
