Vocabulary

This week for chapter chat I did vocabulary as one of my activities. What we do for vocabulary is we get given about 5 or 6 words that we have to explain what they mean. For vocabulary this week the words are diagonally, incorporate, restoration, logically, sacrifice, opponents. Also please comment to help me keep learning.
Here is my Vocabulary...

Eiffel Tower

This week for chapter chat one of the activities for this week was to research the Eiffel Tower and present our findings on a google slide. I researched and used the six best facts on my presentation.
The Eiffel Tower is important because Ally's grandfather was going to take Ally to the Eiffel tower when she was older. Sadly her grandfather is dead. so he can't take her now.

Chapter Chat

Kia Ora, I am back for this term and more fun things will happen including museum visits, more mulching and weeding at hamanatua, Going to the mural posts on our cycleway and many more things.

Today I am going to tell you what Chapter chat is and what we do for the activities. So for chapter chat many schools around New Zealand  read the same book then the answer at least 2 questions each week.

The book we are reading this term is called 'Fish in a Tree' by Linda Mullaly Hunt. The book is about a girl called Ally Nickerson who finds it hard to read and write. She is really good at drawing and has a book called 'The Sketch Book of Impossible Things'. In this book she has some pretty strange drawings like a dinosaur drinking coffee, a fish in a tree, a snowman in a furnas factory, a fish in a snorkel, her being smart and a man rowing a banana split boat down an ice cream Sunday river.

For the activities there are many different choices for what you can do. I chose to make a minecraft word for trents shop 'Nickerson Restoration' and to draw the sympathy card Ally Accidentally gave Mrs Hall at her baby shower.

Dressing in the dark!

For maths strand this week and last week we are working on probability. Probability is the number of ways of achieving success. For example the probability of flipping a coin and it landing on heads is ½ or 50% because there is one head and one tail. for our maths we used socks. Two purple socks and two blue socks. First we picked two socks out of a bag (all four socks were in the bag) and we were seeing what we would pick out an even pair or an odd pair. Here is a screencastify to explain a bit further.

So you are more likely to get an odd pair of socks!
 I hope you learned something!
