hello bloggers today for maths we used the interactive whiteboard to create arrays to show fractions of different numbers. We also highlighted different numbers to show quarters, half’s, thirds Etc here was my work: 

1/2 of 18

      1/8 of 80

  1/6 of 24

   1/5 of 30

Reflection : this task wasn’t my favourite I didn’t really like it but it was quick and easy.

Walt: Monitor and confirm my understanding of texts and sources of information by annotating, rereading, adjusting my reading rate, asking and answering questions, and visualising.\

Yes I think the story is what I thought it could be there was a phase were it was nice and calm then tasha goes missing and then she gets kidnapped and then its mission impossible

Hello bloggers today I had to pick 3 words from this list:

Mauled Constitutional

Solitary Anticipation 

Remnants Apprehension 

Commuters Terrain

Conjecture Emplacements

Mirage Atmosphere

Spectators Smugly

Conviction Mimicked 

Topographic Foetal

And then put it into a glossary including a definition and a sentence.

Comprehension question answers: 

Zac found out about the dying wallabies from one of the zookeepers.

the thing Zac saw when he saw the woman was sitting on a concrete slab looking over cook strait.

Zac got upset by the woman’s actions because she tried to manipulate people with a fake serval.

WALT understand how the main idea affects the characters and the storyline.

One of the main ideas of the story that made the characters act differently was when Jess wanted to stay and not go to Terawhiti.

Hello bloggers today for novels studies I had to do a glossary with these choices of words: Reassuring Defiant 

Trespassing Aggressively Reluctantly Satisfaction Occupants Parasites Snarling  Vigorously Obeyed Hesitated Authority Fidgeting Immaterial Impassable Hoarsely Vulnerable

Here is the choices of words I chose: ( shown on the glossary )

After the glossary I had to do a set of questions.

Comprehension question answers: 

The way Crawford made the hunter take out his bullets was showing his manipulative side and threatened to call the police for unlicensed shooting and trespassing.

The people Jess’s parents called was Mikhail popanov.

Zac thought Jess wanted nothing to do with him is because without Tasha he would be nothing to her.

The way they figured out where Tasha was using the tracking device they put on Tasha.

Predicting question answers:

Yes I do think Tasha has Alex with her because Tasha will do anything to take care of her.

I think they will use the tracking device and a few phone calls to find Tasha

I think  Bryan will keep trying to get Tasha because he has a thirst of proving people wrong.

I think they might let Tasha to come into their house and take care of her.

After doing all of those questions and tasks I have to do a task about servals. (here it is ) Reflection: this create task was pretty fun to do I really like this task it was a long time since I been doing these type of tasks and the rest was the same

WALT:understand how the main idea affects the characters and the story line.

hello bloggers today for novel studies I had to answer a question:

The main idea of the chapter I read last week that changes how the characters was when Zack tried to show Crawford Tasha and Jess got Tasha and left no trace then at home dub dub fm made had a conversation about tasha especially Keith who called Crawford out.

After that I had to answer a LOT of questions:

Comprehension question answers:

The way the Russians kept keeping track of Zack was a tracking device called pet tail

Crawford mocked Zack because when Zack tried to show him Tasha she wasn’t there.

They chose the name ” Alex ” because Jess’s classmates were called Alex and one was a boy and one was a girl, and Jess and Zack didn’t know if Tasha was a boy or a girl.

Zac’s mum and his sister was in Russia because they were there to see the ballet.

Prediction questions answers: 

I don’t think the Russians knew Tasha would have a kitten because I don’t think the had a device that would detect birth.

Yes I do think the flashes of light were lightning because Terawhiti was having horrible weather.

No I do not think Zac and Jess are safe from the Russians yet I think they will have a couple more meetings.

After all of that I had to do a glossary with even more words and more definitions.

Next we had to do a character analysis on a certain character I chose Tasha because she or he was funny:

here is my work

WALT: Identify the features and purpose of instructional writing.

Hello bloggers today I had to a document about what made good and bad instructions.

Do you know what makes good instructions?

Well to make good instructions it needs to be very specific and it has to make sense and needs to be in order or the outcome may not be a thing you want.

To make HORRIBLE instructions it has to be nonsensical, and out of order and not very specific.

Here is my work I hope you enjoy? ( reflection: This task was very fun and easy and a little silly overall to task was kinda fun )

Walt: summarise the main idea in our own words by sharing opinions about how topics are addressed in the text and how messages are conveyed, providing evidence from the text and my prior knowledge to support my opinions.\

Hello bloggers today for my week of tasks I had to make a new glossary with a new set of words then make sentences about them

here is my work:

Then we had to answer a couple of questions

One of the mini ideas that had a big impact on the story was meeting the pig hunters.

Comprehension questions answers:

Zac’s experiment was to see if Tasha loved Zac or kinda fake love just for the food.

I think the bike track called the track vertigo road because its so steep that it could make your head dizzy and vertigo means that everything around you is spinning even though its not.

WALT summarise the main idea in our own words by sharing opinions about how topics are addressed in the text and how messages are conveyed, providing evidence from the text and my prior knowledge to support my opinions.

Hello bloggers today for novel studies I had to do another glossary with new words and then we needed to find out what they mean using an online dictionary and use them in a sentence.

( here is my work )

Reflection: This create task was fun and really easy to do I really liked putting in the sentences.

After that we needed to answer some question.

A mini event that happened in the story that I thought in the story was when Crawford and Jenny left because this lead to Zac and Jess finding Tasha.

Comprehension question answers:

The pig hunters thought Tasha was a Leopard.

I think the pig hunters are kinda right because in the description Tasha was a serval and right after that it said big African cat.

The thing Zac noticed he left behind was the footprints they forgot to cover it up.

The name of the hideaway was hermits hole

Prediction questions answers:

What Zac and Jess will do is temporarily cage in Tasha to hide her from the hunters.

Yes I think the neanderthals will come back because their goal is to hunt down Tasha

I think they will harm and sell Tashas fur on the black market.

After that I had to the a task about why there aren’t many mammals in New Zealand.

Reflection: I really liked this Task because it was simple and easy to do I didn’t like the questions but I was okay with the glossary.

Hello bloggers today for the student summit I used a thing called kleki we had to choose a word then make bubble letters using it ( I am not good at drawing please don’t judge me ) Then we had to try shade it and make a brick wall as are back round here is my work: Reflection: I did not like this task at all it was harder than it was supposed to be.

Walt: Explain how characters are constructed or portrayed in texts, providing evidence. 

Hello bloggers for today I had to make a new glossary and add a new 3 words everyday here is my work for now:

Character question answers:

Zac couldn’t sleep because he was too busy thinking for solutions of the familiar tune.

Crawford felt  frustrated and felt sensitive when the radio was talking about him.

Crawford is portrayed as silly and somewhat kind and is scared about doing certain things like proving the truth.

Comprehension questions answers:

Zac found Ammunition in the pick up truck and it made him feel nervous.

The countries the 2 people were from were Russia.

They wanted to find the roldee to get the cheetah or dog.

Zac thought the animal was a albino cheetah.

Prediction questions answers:

I think the two men will try to find Zac and Jess because they might think that Zac and Jess know more than they think.

I think Zac and Jess will fix and use the ” musical instrument ” to find Tasha.

After doing all those questions I had to do a compare and contrast a character of your choice I chose the easier choices like Crawford and Zac it took me a bit to do this here Is my work:

Reflection: I really didn’t like both of the tasks they weren’t that fun and took a while to do.
