Book clip task No 3

Question: Ask your family about your own birth story and compare it to Auggies.

W.A.L.T to use a various sources of information to better understand the authors message. SC: Use prior knowledge and the text to form logical opinions. 

My  mum went into labour at about 2 o clock in the after noon. She din't eat much and sat down on the couch and watched TV. After she had watched TV for a while she went to bed. Then in the morning she rang the midwife who asked have you been eating mum said no and the midwife told her to have some toast and orange juice. Mum ate and drunk that and then went to bed. She slept for about 3 to 4 hours.

When she woke up mum had a really sore back and a really really sore tummy. My dad took her to the hospital were there midwife was waiting for her. She put mum in a room were she got some painrelif and also the midwife cleared her and said that she was having me.

After a while the doctors asked mum if she wanted to have a bath. She had a bath but while she was in it she got another strong pain. The midwife asked if she wanted pain relief but she said no. After she hopped out the midwife and dad were whispering about pain relief. 

When mum was having me she couldn't feel her body from her tummy down. Also my head was in a funny position so it was difulcut to get me out! So the mid wife went to get a special doctor who bring into the room a special sucker thing that got me out easily. After I was born mum got some stuff to take away here numbing pain. Mum had a shower after her pain was gone. 

Then the midwife left but the doctor still stayed with her. In the middle of the night mum and dad were take to another hospital. They had to drive about another 15 to 20 minutes to get to the other place.

When they got to the other hospital another doctor was waiting for her. Even though mum and dad had wrapped me in a woolen coat I was still cold so I got warmed up by a special machine. After that mum and dad went to the bed with me and the rest is history!

Here is the Comparison.

Auggies midwife farted lots and smelt like farts and my midwife smelled like perfume mum said!

Auggie came out funny looking and I din't!

Hannah!

Wonder task!

Here is my wonder task that I am going to show you, If you don't now what I mean I am talking about the book called wonder. The walt for this activity is,

W.A.L.T Consider alternative viewpoints to better understand the authors message. SC: Compare different characters points of view from different opinions .

Question: Do you agree with Mr Tushmans decision not to suspend Julian? Why / why not?

What I think: I don't agree because he did a naughty thing and at our school if you do something really naughty you go onto reflection. I am glad though that he did get a telling off though!

Maths

Here is a maths test  that I did. I got one question right but It was in the wrong place. Next time I want to learn the names of the questions and use my time more wisely. I also think that if I want to "Go for gold," I need to learn it more so that I  can get a higher score maybe next time!!

WALT calculate the MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE and RANGE for a set of data.

Success criteria: To no what to do with the numbers.
I think I still need to practice the median, mode and the range but I think I am really good at the mean. For the mean you add all the numbers you have together and then you divide how many numbers you have and then you have the answer.

Here is the photo of my test.

Reflection on art sample.

On the 26th of march we had a art day. But it was an art day that you would have been thinking about. We used clay.  W.A.L.T mould and add detail.

Success Criteria:

Share an experience so that someone else feels as thought they are experiencing it with you.

Share what you learnt

Share what you would do differently next time.

I think I did a good job answering the questions honestly. 

Here I am going to do some Q&A question and answers.

1: What are you most proud of? 

I am proud of all of my sculptures because I put a lot of detail into them drawing patterns and cutting the clay to a shape and making it the right size.

2: What challenged you?

I found moulding the shape hard because the clay kept getting harder and harder because it was setting every few seconds. 

3: What did you enjoy? 

I enjoyed doing something different other than the basic things like reading and writing ICT and maths. I also enjoyed working with my buddy even though she didn't teach me anything, I helped her do lots of things and she was grateful for it.

4:What did you learn about clay?

I learnt that you don't put water on it when it goes hard because it will turn to mud and I also learnt that the more you work with it the water seeps out and thats how it goes hard, so basically you don't want to mould it to much.

5: What now?

I would like to use a clay spinner to make a pot or something like that. Maybe a decoration that you could put through the house.

Here is a photo of my clay sculptures that I made today. The ones that I like best is the bottle with i'm say raspberry fanta but I also like the ice cream!

  My caving experience

As I hopped into the car and organized seats I was  anxious we were going caving! As my dad took me and my friends to the cave I looked out the window and thought to myself, I am tense  but I am going to go first and get it over and done with. I am usually quite brave but I was really nervous. What happens if the cave collapses. No it won’t my other part of my head was saying , caves have been round for millions of years! They won’t fall! the other part of my head buzzing with anxiety. 

Eventuality dad stopped the car, and pulled up. I hopped out. I also put on my helmet and grabbed my torch that was as bright as the sparkling sun. 

I was shivering with excitement while I tip toed into the cave! It was as dark as the night sky. As I got quarter of the way through  the cave, I looked down at the ground to find fresh water cray fish wriggling  around in the water with fright. I shifted my body towards the other side of the cave where there were rocks that I could clamber over. 

As I kept walking I could hear in the back of my mind my Dad saying “Keep going Hannah You can do it.” Then  I found myself ducking under a tiny bit of rock. I felt suffocated. 

I took a deep breath and worked my way under the rock. Rocks and Water surrounding me a bit like a small stream soaking my hands knees and shoes until they were drenched. I felt cold. As cold as a ice block that you would eat in summer. I ducked my head down to. I ducked it down to get myself under the rock... But all of a sudden I got stuck! I felt like I would be stuck forever! Then my dad grabbed my hands from the front and I got well......... Unstuck! I gave a sigh of relief. 

After I had gone under the rock. I hopped up. Walking through the cave with suspense. We turned round corners. It felt impossible leaping over all the rocks and stones. After about 15 minutes in the cave dad told me that we were nearly at the end. But I didn’t believe him because he had never been through this certain cave before. I kept walking. 

Nic then told us to turn our torches of. I did not realize that there were glow worms in the cave. We all looked at them, they looked like shinning pencil dots. Glow worms are quite pretty aren't they, I thought to myself.

After we had looked at the glow worms we got back up and started walking. Patter Patter. I could hear my footsteps and the other kids footsteps too! Patter Patter. 

Soon I could see a steep bit of dirt and rocks up ahead, I kept walking and.... I found light. We were now all at the start. We got down on our knees like a dog would, and started up for the light. In time we were all up out of the cave sitting on the grass panting like we had just finished a cross country race. 

Some of the kids wanted to go into the cave again they asked Nic and my dad desperately. Dad said “ask Nic.” “Certainly!” Nic replied! But remember you MUST be back in 17 minutes. OK. They said, and with a flash of lighting they were off. I didn’t go back in. I was quite happy sitting there drying of my pants and shoes. 

After a few minutes while the other kids were in the cave I was laughing so much that I  was getting lots of speckles all over my face. Their voices were coming closer and closer. My heart was pounding, I was quite anxious. I was wondering why they were coming back. Well In the end a boy called Cam had was not watching were he was going and fell into the water were there were fresh water crayfish. 

They didn’t go back into the cave after that.I think they were as wet as a dolphin that had just jumped out of the water! We all trudged threw the grass,the grass was as soft as a feather. talking about our experience. We climbed over the fence and hopped into the car. Grace was in the front seat and I was I was in the middle. We drove back to Highland home. it was a great caving experience.

PEER COMMENT. 
WOW Great story Hannah, I like the way you used lots of  adverbs verbs and similes. next time I think you could use a few more medafores and short sentences to break up the story. You also did paragraphs well! From ANna.

Camp goals.

Here are my camp goals.

WALT: set SMART goals

Success Criteria:

WALT solve problems with money

A few days ago Aye and I did this maths problem with the work sheet called at camp. What we to do was figure  out much money they raised each day, they wanted to get up to 5,000 dollars they got up to that amount with 70 cents remanding. Here is our working out!

WALT set smart goals

Here is some of my camp goals. Here is an example down below of what we had to use in our goals.

Now here is my camp goals!

Goal 1:
I achieved my goal by looking at the time about every ten minutes. I also looked at my timetable to find out what time I had to be there and what activity I had to go to. My group mates  encouraged me to look at the time so that I could help them also get to the right place.

Goal 2: Yay I did it, I got down to the bottom of the abseiling wall. I achieved this by believing in myself and getting it over and done with. My friends encouraged me to go down the abseiling wall. I  felt a lot more confer dent, when ants Said "Well done, keep going."

Next time:
Next time I want to be a bit more confer dent while going through the cave. I think I will be a bit more conferdent next time because I have gone through the cave before.
