Music

What?

W.A.L.T create a rap on anti-bullying.
To start off we had to write a rap on school.
Some of the raps that I wrote is:

1.I was doing some spelling,

And I started smelling.

I got my answers wrong,

And the teacher called me wong!
2.I like art,

But my teacher like fart.

My painting’s up drying,

So I did some frying.

So What?
I have learnt that to write a rap you need to have the first two lines and the last two lines need to rhyme.

Now What?
My next step is to write a rap on bullying.

Dancing With Dean

IHBL: a hip routine

         a cha cha routine

         to combine different movements in to a dance routine to Treasure by Bruno Mars

         to combine different cha cha moves into a dance routine to Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake

So What?

 My favourite dance step was the pulling up the socks.

 I found remembering the correct sequence for the dance routines challenging

Math

What? 

I have been learning to solve addition problems by first jumping by a tidy number then jumping back

I have been learning to solve addition problems by using compensating from tidy numbers

I have been learning to solve subtraction problems by using equal additions from a tidy number

So What?

• I have learned that it is easier to make one of the numbers into a tidy number as it is easier to work out the answer.
• I have learned that when you have an equation like 73 - 28  = you can either add the same number to both sides, or you can subtract the same number from both sides

Now What?

My next step is to use this strategy with larger numbers

Writing

What? 

I am learning to write an information report on Oaklands school.

So What?
My writing teacher is Mr Rule.
On Tuesday Miss Mackenzie teaches us.   
I know that an information report has facts, images / pictures, sub headings and it is organised into paragraphs.
It starts with an introduction and ends with a summary.

Now What?
My next steps are:

• Organise my ideas visually so that you can see the paragraphs. That means that I don't write one big blob but skip two lines to show a new paragraph.
• to get better at organising my ideas into paragraphs.
