Calendar Art

This week we have been working on Calendar Art. We had to draw a circle then draw some patterns then we had to colour it in next we had to draw on the pencil lines with vivid and then get some black paper to glue it onto a white bit of paper. This is my Calendar Art. Hope you like it.

Questioning When Reading

This week in reading we have been continuing with our questioning. Questioning is a reading skill that helps us understand the text. We used questioning for the story Feet First. Feet First was about Karate. Some questions I had were How strong was Jzarahr, How long was their training session, Where was their dojo, Who was Lee and What was Kata. The questions that I could answer was Where was their dojo and Who was Lee. The questions that I couldn't answer were How strong was Jzarahr, How long was their training and What was Kata. These are the pictures of Jzarahr, Sa and my questions. The top one is my questions, the second one is Sa and the last one is Jzarahr.

Using our prior knowledge

For reading in the last two days we have been learning about Questioning. Questioning is when you ask a question from the text. Sometimes we can answer the questions when we read on. If we can't answer that we can use our prior knowledge to make a guess but if we can't use our prior knowledge then we research. The journal was about a person called Sam that was going to run a triathlon. Sam had just returned from the World Championships in Cancun, Mexico. He was at peak fitness for his training but he wanted to keep it up so he could stay at peak fitness. The triathlon that he was competing in was at Scorching Bay in Wellington. When we were reading some people would read out their questions and then people would try to answer them. These were some of my questions, Why does he need to be there by 8:00 am, Why does he need a number, How did his number stay on when he went under water and What is an Iron man race. Some of the questions I couldn't answer were why does he need a number, what is an Iron man race and how is he one of the fastest even though he was injured. I hope you like it and can answer my questions.
