How Children Learn at School

How Children Learn at School 

Why is it important to talk in class? The reason why we talk is so we can take risk and try new things. 

It's important to listen in class so you know what you're learning about. And we should explore new things so that we know the right thing and wrong thing to do in School.

It is important for the juniors to follow there role model in School. So that we can learn from each others and we can give feedback to the Juniors if they want to learn new things.

If you don't understand anything you should ask questions to your friend or your teacher. The reason why it is good to ask questions is so people can know what you think and so you can learn from other people. 

The reason why we should learn at School is so we can learn new skill and use are ability to think.


On Monday me and Magenta were writing an Explanation about How Children Learn at School. Our first paragraph was for our Introduction. The middle 3 Paragraph is for our POIPIO and our last paragraph is for our Conclusion. We have work really hard to come up with this Explanation. We have also tried our best we write this Explanation. First me and Magenta planed of what we are going to write about then we write them in a paragraph.

How to use screencastify

Today I've created a screencastify about how to use tidy numbers in a math question. First to create a screencastify you'll need a planing of what you want to share to other people. Then you'll need to open up every tab that you're going to use. Next you go to the screencastify app and then record of what you want to record. When you have finished recording your video will be on your google drive. Then post it on your blog. That's how I've create my screencastify videos.  

The people in our local community

I use Tagul to create this word cloud that shows who the people are in our local community. A community is a group of people who live in the same place (eg: Panmure ), or have a common connection ( eg: the Burmese community.

5-7-10

Let me tell you about the worst mistake I have ever made at home. One day at home my Aunty and I thought it would a nice day to cook something for our family. I felt so happy by the time my Aunty said “Let’s make a chocolate cake,” because that is one of the cakes that I like to eat. Everything was going well until I did something wrong. My Aunty was reading a book of how to make a chocolate cake and then she told me to put something into the bowl but I didn’t  listen to her so I mixed the wrong thing. Then we have to start all over again. From that day I have learnt why it is very important to listen when someone is talking about something.

Today we did the 5-7-10 activity for writing to describe the worst mistake we have ever made. We had to write for 5 minutes, share what we had written with a buddy for 7 minutes, and then carry on writing for another 10 minutes.
