Improper and Mixed Fractions


I've been learning how to change fractions.  Mrs Graham put questions on the board and I had to copy them and work out the answers.  I did good because I got some of them right.  For these questions I have to work out how many wholes and what's left over.  It was easy because we learnt by cutting up circles and seeing what it looks like.

My Explanation

The rubbish gets dropped on the ground.  Rain gets it in the drain and goes to the sea.  Fish eat the rubbish and marine animals get sick and die.  The rubbish gets jammed in the fish or marine animals.  It is bad for people to think it’s okay.




I was learning about writing explanations. When you write an explanation, you say how this happens and then that happens. Sometimes it's hard to come up with the ideas.

I did an explanation as a picture. It was about bio-accumulation. Sometimes it's easier to draw a picture to explain what I'm thinking instead of writing words.

My Balanced Argument



I was learning how to write a balanced argument.  It was easier using the writing frame.  The class helped to come up with the ideas.  I feel good about what I have written.


Kenning Poem



This poem is called a Kenning Poem.  It is a poem about me.  It was easy.  I had to think about what I like and then I had to think about what I do with those things.
