TEEL Paragraphs

 LI: To use powerful words and transitional vocabulary to make our writing more interesting

This week we have been learning to use transitional vocabulary to help us link ideas between the sentences in our paragraph. The transitional words are like the doors we walk through and to show how this works in writing we have highlighted them. I enjoyed this activity because we got to try using new words in our writing and we worked collaboratively so we got to share our ideas.

Why it is important to be Hydrated

     L.I To understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and for our learning.

My group created this by sharing our ideas and working collaboratively . As example Hydrated mean drinking heaps of water which helps you stay focused.  Being dehydrated means feeling dizzy, having headaches and not focused. Did you know that drinking a lot of Water helps your body and also helps you stay healthy. We also found images that connects to the text so that it could also help  yourself and others what we’re talking about and to understand more about what we’re learning in our Inquiry task. 

         

Pie chart

 LI: To  plan and carry out a statistical investigation

For Maths today our task was to make a pie chart of LS2's favorite anime. First we had to decide what our question would be then go around and ask people what their favourite anime is and record the information.

To help us colllate the information we got an A3 piece paper and and we had to cut out the squares with our answers on, then  glue it on the paper so we could easily see our data.

This task was pretty easy but hard at the same time because we had to collect a lot of data. 

Summary of the Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi brings peace to New Zealand.  Our task was to read a article which was about The Treaty of Waitangi. When we were finished reading we had to use this summarising template to help us create a paragraph telling us some of the snapshot of the story of the treaty. This task was really fun because it got me to learn about the past and help me to learn how important it is for New Zealand.
