his week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example:  Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus.  But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

isometric drawings

for math, we had to draw a 3D shape we chose to do a square we had to shade in the front so you can see it more easily easily

have you done one of these before this was one of my first times trying it why don't yo have a try

see you next week

inferencing

Kia ora Bloggers,

This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something.  

The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.

Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.  

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time!

this week work

For  maths this week we hit to talk about measurements and area of triangles in this is the measurements that I did

yesterday for Literacy we had to do fact  report about Roald Dahl from birth to death

here is my example of mind

In literacy we have been reading Going Solo by Roald Dahl. It tells his story from where Boy left off. 

He went to Africa to work for The Shell Company and he has many adventures there. Some of these are really funny. 

He then joined the RAF to fly in WW2. 

We have recreated a part of the story where his plane crashes in the desert. He manages to survive although he is blinded by the crash and badly injured. He does get his sight back eventually.

Going Solo is a great novel that I would recommend you read.

this week work

for reading last week we had to do an information report on giraffe I found a lot of stuff. we also had to make a word art about giraffe we had to find words to describe them like elegant.





yesterday we had to write about going solo from Roald Dahl when he was in the RAAF flying a tiger moth in the air and we had to write what it felt like being in it and this is what I did

drawing for today

Today we had to make up a a made up animal and I chose to do a bees head a fish's body and ducks feet and the name they call it was the beheaded duckfeet thingamabob the sound it makes his mixed with the buzz and a Quack from a duck.
