NZ National ShakeOut! Day

NZ National ShakeOut! Day

Today was NZ National ShakeOut! Day and for this task, I worked with Hajera. We created a slide that explained the importance of being prepared in the events of an earthquake. In the slide, there is a poster that we created to let people know what to do in an earthquake.  At PBS each class did the Drop, Cover and Hold procedure as soon as we heard the warning bell. We did this in case there was ever an earthquake, we would be prepared for whatever we faced. 

Auckland Harbour Bridge & Sydney Harbour Bridge

Today for Inquiry Mr Johnston showed us a slide he made about the history of bridges and different types of bridges.  We worked in pairs and I worked with Hajera. At the end of the slide he talked to us about our own countries bridge the Auckland Harbour Bridge. He told us about the history of the bridge, when the bridge was built, what is the bridge made of, , Future plans of the bridge and the fun facts about the bridge. We also made a Comparison between the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

136 to 138 Words

Today I tried explain what the Winter Olympics are about. I need to remember to put the full stops in the right places.  

Today we used the ‘2 words 1 minute’ challenge to write a description about the Winter Olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the winter olympics we created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘equipment’ and ‘respect’ to help us think about what we were going to write.

We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 1 minute to put those ideas into sentences. We had to try our best to use all the words on our vocab list. After the minute was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

I did good in explaining what this story is about.

I need to remember to use full stops at the end of my sentence and put them in the right place.
