2 stars and a wish term 2

This is my two stars and a wish and we did it on the 19/6/15 week 9

here it is:

Bridget's maths sample (adding and subtracting)

------------------------------------------------------------
Description: In week 8 for maths we did a maths sample. We decided to do a post of what we do for maths. this post is about our strategies that we know. This Is my work that I have given to find out my work is the text at the bottom of the blue picture
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
Big idea: In week 8 for maths we did a few questions witch are adding and subtracting. So for these questions we had to fine out the answers 1, 2, 3 and 4. To solve the questions I used partitioning is the basics that you know example: 25+79=? to do partitioning this is what I would do 20+70=90 5+9=14 14+90=104 so the answer would be 104.
------------------------------------------------------------
Feedback & Feedforward:
good job on your post I like how you described what we were doing for math. Next time you could put the strategy inside of the question instead of the Big Idea. By Devin
------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluation: I think I did well at doing the strategies and working out the questions. I think I need to work on what are sums and what are difference. If I were to do this again I would use differant strategies instead of just partitioning.

Reading sample

Description: My goal is to expand my vocabulary. To help me expand my vocabulary I can have re-read a text to to see if I missed something, or I go and look to see if I can spot some words that I already know in the same word Example Information I can see info and then I realize that it's information.   

Success Criteria:

• I re-read so I can see if I've missed something.
• I see if I can spot a word I already know.
• I ask questions to get help.

Here is the Pebbles and Rock words poster

Feedback Feedforward: I think you have done really well with getting heaps of words that mean the same thing as the pebble words and making them more interesting but I think you can work describing what your goal is. By Katelyn.

Big Idea: In week 7 we did a Tic Tac Toe. We had to do a post of one of the Tic Tac Toes that we did. I chose were pebble and rock words. What you had to do in that one was you had to Chose 5 Pebble words (Big, Small, Happy, Sad, Good etc) and come up with at least 10 Rock words for each. Pebbles make a small blip when you throw it in a river. Rocks make a huge splash!

Here is an example:Happy is a pebble word Joyful is a rock word.

Evaluation: I think I did awesome at finding the words but I think I could do better at finding out what they mean. If I were to do this again I would plan out the layout more better.

The Big Idea said that I needed to do 5 pebble words instead of 3 but I had some problems

Passion Project at Spot light

On the weekend we went to Spot light. We went to go get a pattern and some material. But we got even more then what we wanted and it all started when we went to Spot light we went to look at some of the patterns we flicked through some of the magazines to look at some of the dressers. Some flicking later we found the dress that we were looking for. while Mum was getting the pattern sorted Gordon Daddy and I went to look at the materials. Dad and Gordon would tees me and saying that I should get green material. Any way then mum came over with one Spot light staff and then we found some good material and then we asked if we needed an over locker and the lady said that I would be fine with a normal sewing machine and then we asked if I needed a manikin and she said "Well she doesn't need one but if she wants one then it should be OK." but then mum said "It is quite expensive so I don't think we will need one." After that we asked if they sold bone and then the lady said "Yes I will go get some for you." then she went off to go get some. While that was happening mum went to go find a zip and some thread then the lady came back with some bone and mummy came back with some thread and a zip. Last the lady cut the material and then we left.  

Passion Project introduction

In class we are starting a new project, it's called Passion Project. Passion Project is a project that you are passionate about. You can learn, make or create. I chose to make it. But before we even started to plan we did a ten minute test and we had to write a page that was things that I liked what was it called you ask it was called a hundred words and you had to write one hundred things that you liked. Then after that we grabbed our think book, device and pencil case and then went on our google drive to copy the Passion project contact into may think book. While I was doing that I was thinking of what was it that I'm going to do for Passion Project?... then BOOM it just popped in my head I knew what I was going to do. I'm going to do fashion!

Haiku deck

WALT: summarize what we read

Success Criteria:

Find the key words

Record the main ideas

Retell what we have read

What have you learned? I've learned that if I summarise my reading it will help me understand because I can feel the story.

Why is it important? Because then you can feel the character that's in the book like you were that character.

How are you going to use what you have learned? I've learned that if you summarize it will help me understand the the story better

What is your next learning step: my next learning step is to read the text and shear my ideas.

Have a nice day

You can find and record the main ideas and use the key words to help you. 
What fantastic reflecting on you learning, you have understood the most important reason for summarising your story... It is to help you understand it better!

Kinetic/Potential Energy

This is me and my groups Kinetic and Potential Energy movie.

WALT: create an i-movie to demonstrate kinetic and potential energy

How will we know our movie is successful?  

clear camera work (thinking about the sun, keeping the camera still-moving slowly, in focus

clear voices and image (volume, wind, background noises, mumbling)

Reflective Prompts:

I now know that: potential energy is stored energy and kinetic energy is the energy to move

I enjoyed: making the movie and how we decorated it

The most difficult was: planing the where we were to go and the right angel to film

Working with my group was: a little bit hard cause then they will not use your ides if they don't want to 

What great learning about potential and kinetic energy and the swing is a fabulous model to show your learning. A fantastic honest reflection Bridget, it can be tricky working in a group but it can also be very helpful to your learning. You all have to share ideas and work together to grow the most powerful idea.
