This week’s assignment for Inquiry was on Legends of Learning.  First task was about caring for different type of animals (plant, herbivorous and carnivorous), providing them with water & food for each one of them.  Then the next task was about the different stages of matter (Liquid, Solid, Vapour & gas. The last task was about identifying decisions involving income, spending, saving, credit, and charitable giving – this is a hint at what our inquiry topic is next term.

In LS1, this term was filled with thrilling things like swimming & the canopy opening.

Thinking back on the final few months, I’m so happy when we have swimming every single thursday.

I’ve been busy working with all different  subjects, but the top bit about Term 3 for me was scientist because we had to observe our jar of dancing raisins. 

 

When it comes to reading, my favourite text I read was “super salmon” and what I most enjoyed reading was SACAWACing  words certainly from our spelling list and some ones that aren’t on our spelling list.

 

Writing was super fun, especially when I got to write my speech about the topic I picked.

My favourite task in writing this term was basic narrative elements because I had to make my own DLO about it.

 

In Maths, I especially enjoyed when we learnt about written algorithms because of the strategy we had to use to answer equations. 

 

For our special Inquiry experiments, I really enjoyed observing a jar of dancing raisins because we had to make the jar of dancing raisins are selfs.

 

In P.E. (Physical Education), I had a blast participating in swimming because I learnt how to float & use scaling hands.

 

But you know what? I also discovered some areas where I can get even better.  Like in reading I can get better at reading at higher levels.

While I loved writing, I’ve noticed I need to work on speech writing.

Maths was interesting, but I want to get better at my times table.

In our special projects, I realised I need to work on observing the little details as well.

In P.E I think I could improve on is sportsmanship towards others.

 

Looking forward to the next term, I’m excited about the film festival.

 

To sum it up, this term was busy because of the things that needed to be done, and I’m thankful for good things that happened.

Thinking about what I liked and what I can improve helps me understand more things.

I can’t wait to see what the next term brings, and I’m ready to learn.

Today for cybersmart we are learning to find keywords about our topic.

First I had to write four questions about our topic and then highlight the words that are most important to our topic in each question.

Then I had to type my keywords below and add any extras that i could think of.

Lastly I had to choose one of my questions and use the keywords from that question to search for information.  The words you type into the google search bar are called a query.

I did good at answering the questions but what I didn’t do good at was adding more details.

I enjoyed it beacuse I had to add my own questions.
