Catupult challenge

Last week on Monday Fui, Haylee, I , Taheesha and Florence worked together on a catupult task. Our challenge was to create a catupult that could sling the dice at the paper target on the wall. To make our base stronger we used triangles to make it strong. The design we created was a trebuchet. Our leader (Fui) gave each person a role in our group to make the trebuchet. In the start we found it a bit hard to do but once we did our second challenge, Florence knew what to make. Next time we  need to work on making the trebuchet: to make the arm of the trebuchet stronger.

Inference DLO | Term 2 Week 8

LI: To understand how to use inference in Maths.
This weeks Maths session I have being working together with Holy to create this. Before we started to make our DLO we were given different word problems in Inference and we were also got a word problem that was in our Maths test. As you can see on my DLO I have my word problem, a drawing, how we figured out the answer and the strategy. I have sketched a image online but changed up the drawing a bit with the colours. 

Waltzing Matilda Poem, Summary and Main Ideas

This week Nyjah and I has read a poem called “Waltzing Matilda”. Waltzing Matilda is written by a famous author called Banjo Patterson. Banjo Paterson wrote lots of famous Australian poems as he was a poetry. We both made two collaborative DLOs. One was about the main idea and the other one was about the actual summary. For the summary we had to unpack the different languages and find out the actual meaning first. Then we wrote in 20 important words, took 6 most important words from those 20 and made a short summary about the story. The other DLO was about the main idea and the evidence to back it up. Their were 3 boxes (Detail 1, Detail 2 and Detail 3).
