Time Connectives

This week we are learning to use time connectives in writing. Time connectives help the reader to understand what is happening because everything is in order. I found it challenging to how to use first of all and after that later on. I forgot to use then in my writing. ZSo then I went back and put them all in. 

Have you ever used time connectives before? 




Bee Bots

This week we are learning to use code to programme Bee Bots. I found it challenging to figure out how to move the Bee Bots because I get confused with my left and right because I have dyslexia. Here is the code and the results of the Bee Bot getting there.  

My code

Our  number is 7. 

8 up

1 right turn

6 steps that way

1 right turn

Have you ever coded a Bee Bot before?

New Zealand Sign Language Week

For Reading I was learning to analyse and synthesise. This means I had to read articles and watch some videos and then use the parts I needed to make a video.

This week we were learning to make a screencastify about how to use NZ Sign Language. The trickiest part was to find a quiet spot because everyone was being loud because we were all doing our screencastify at the same time.

I enjoyed signing my name because I learnt it off by heart. I am very proud of myself. I even showed my mum and dad last night without forgetting what to do.

Have you ever tried doing sign language?

Sign of the Cross

 This week we were learning to do a screencastify. I find it challenging to do it but I tried my best. We had go and make a Screencastify on how to make the sign of the cross so 5 year olds can learn how to do it the right way. It was hard to get it right.

Animal War Heroes.

This week we are learning about animal war heroes. We had to choose our favourite war hero animal and thern summarise what we read. I chose horses because I like them. I knew that they helped because people rode them. I found it challenging to do the horse and this is what I did.

Have you ever ridden a horse?
