We have been learning about science and we had to create a video about our understanding of science.

Evaluation

I think I could of made what kinetic and potential mean a bit more clear.

Feed-back/Forward

I like the visual way you have explained kinetic and potential energy. I would like more information to explain potential energy to check I understand it properly eg does a pen lying on the ground have potential energy?

Literacy Sample

WALT: Rote Learn

Description:

Purpose: We have been working on Mnemonics to learn our spelling words. That helps us with our weekly spelling words.

Process: We had to use Mnemonic to help us learn our spelling words. We had an example then we went away and had a go our selves. We learnt how to do the Mnemonics. You have to use your spelling words to create a sentence with the start of each letter.

Learning: I learnt how Mnemonics work and how to do them. I have learnt a new strategy for my spelling words.

Evaluation: I reckon I did well at thinking of a good sentence for my spelling word. I could of made the image a bit more clear.

Feed forward/back

I think you done well you might just need to make the words more clear. So out of 10 I give you 7\10. #Maraki

Multiplication Using Place Value

WALT: Use place value to work out multiplication problems

Description

Purpose: Our focus is to use different multiplication strategies to figure out three digit multiplication questions faster.

Process: At the moment we are focusing on the place value strategy. To start with, our maths group worked together to learn the strategy. Then we had a go by ourselves trying to use the strategy for each problem. We shared our answers back with the group to discuss what the answers were.

Learning: I learnt that at the start when you take of the zeros at the end you have to add it back on

Method:

1) Split 365 in 300, 60 and 5

2) Multiply 300 by 6, multiply 60 by 6 and multiply 5 by 6

3) Add those three numbers together.

4) There you have your answer.

Evaluation: I reckon I did really well at learning the strategy. This will help me with my big multiplication problems by using place value. I reckon I could of done a show me so people understand.

Feed-back/Forward

Wow I reckon you did well I reckon you could of added a bit more detail on the purpose. #Lachlan
