Boomwhacker Music Lesson



In class we had a music lesson on how to play Boomwhackers.
The teachers were the year 6 children.  Eason was the main leader.
I really liked when we were doing the music.
I found it really simple to play.
Next I would like to do longer songs.

Reading Prediction



Reflection

I like writing a prediction about this story because I was able to answer alot of questions.  My prediction didnt have alot of detail in it so my next step will be to write a fully detailed prediction.  My prediction was right.  She was a crazy libarian.

Art Portraits

Ashton
WALT sketch a face by following grid guidelines to make each feature on the face in proportion.

First we drew a picture of what we thought we looked like.
I thought my before picture was not as good as I could have done and I thought the before picture was better.

After a few art lessons we learned how to sketch a grid across the shape of our face to help us draw each feature in proportion.  

I thought my after picture was not good because the head shape was a bit wonky and the hair was a bit too afro.

Sensory Garden Recount

Reflection on my Recount -

  • Underline where you think you are in your learning of the sensory recount.
  • Remember you are just assessing how well you described your surroundings, using descriptive words or poetic devices.


Extended Abstract
I can help someone else to suggest ways to improve their own sensory recount.

Relational
I can add a poetic device to make it more interesting e.g simile, metaphor or alliteration.

Multistructural
I can describe using more than 2 senses in my recount.

Unistructural
I can describe using at least 2 of my senses in my recount.

Pre-structural
I need help to find words to describe what I see, feel, touch, or hear.



I have put myself at Multistructural stage because I think I didn’t do a very good recount.  I think I should do better at it.  My next learning step is to work on getting to the Relational stage.

My next learning step is to work on getting to the relational by using more similes and metaphors.
