Probability

We have been learning lots of new language in Probability.  We have learnt about chance, possible, impossible, likely and less likely.

Oscar F - What is the chance that I choose the red one?

Nubaid - It is less likely because there is only one.

Britta - What is the chance of me picking a black dinosaur?

Julia - It would be impossible because there are no black dinosaurs.

Aaron - What is the chance of choosing a green dinosaur?

Brodie - It is likely because there are more greens than yellows.

Alexi - What is the chance of me choosing a yellow one?

Ruby - It is impossible because there are no yellow ones.

WALHT: Give and receive feedback in writing

Today we gave feedback to each other in our writing.

We talked about sharing the things that we liked and suggesting a next step or two.  We decided that feedback is a really exciting thing as it reminds us of what we did well and helps us in our learning.

We also looked at the WALHT ('We Are Learning How To...') and tried to decide if the learner focused on this.

Here's Mrs Chant's example for Griffin:

listen to ‘Griffins feedback’ on Audioboo

Here we are sharing some of our feedback:

Griffin feeding back to Isla:

listen to ‘Griffin for Isla’ on Audioboo

Brodie feeding back to Aaron:

listen to ‘Brodie feeding back to Aaron’ on Audioboo

How do you think we went?

Sharing our stories in different ways

Today we had the choice between creating a real story or an imaginative one that involved swimming at school.

We chose to either use Clicker Docs or DoodleCast on the iPads and collaborated with others.

Here's Hailey and Isla listening back to their story...

  

Then they reflected on how they went.  They decided that they did a good job of remembering some important information and also talking and drawing at once.  They also decided the their next step is to ensure they don't talk over each other.  

What do you think?

Beatrice, Keira, Lily and Madi worked together to create this story - they're still having a think about their reflection.  What do you think they did well?

Look at all this awesome thinking, collaboration and reflection!!

Writing about our painted characters!

Mrs Purcell's writing groups have been panting the most amazing characters.  They brainstormed words, then drafted their stories, conferenced, published and then read their stories (so they could be typed).  

Didn't they do well!

Mr Tall is tall and he has long legs and he likes to be happy.  He also likes to jump up and down and he nearly touches the sun.  He comes with a thump and everything goes up.  Mr Tall is blue and he is orange and he is green.  He is purple and he is red.  By Ben

Miss Molly has a purple tail and has eyes and a blue side.  By Mia

Mrs Rose-fluffball is big and she eats like a pig.  She is a girl and she is happy.  He favourite thing is singing and playing.  She is happy.  She pinches herself.  She is purple and she has a black nose. She likes to dance.  By Hailey

My character is called Mr Tickletree and he looks cool and he likes tickling you and he is colourful!  By Eric

Blue Robot likes to play rugby.  Blue Robot likes to play in the playground and in the house too.  Blue Robot likes to play with people.  He likes to eat chocolate.  Blue Robot is 20 years old and likes clothes and fish and chips.  By Aaron

If you come into the hub soon, you'll see all of their creations and writing up on the wall!

Performing "The Crab Hunt"

What we think we did well:

• "Saying it loud" - Brodie
• "We did well reading all the words 'till the end" - Joshua B.
• "We spoke clearly and we read all of the words good" - Hailey

Our next steps are:

• "Brodie and Aaron should not have said 'Matt'" - Lily N.
• "Speak a little bit more louder" - Brodie
• "The next time, we could wriggle a little bit less" - Hailey
• "Maybe next time we won't play with our costumes" - Lily N.
• "Next time we shouldn't move, we should stay still" - Brodie

Mrs Chant wonders...

Could you think of a way to move like your characters?  For example, when your character looks under a rock, what could you do with your body?  We call this acting.

Let's have a try...

How do you think we did?

Baking day!!

Look at our baking! Thank you to Mrs Atkinson and Helen for all their help!

Fun in literacy learning!

Bringing reading and writing together has proven successful in hub 5/6. We love experiences that create memories for our learning.

Here are some of us in action after reading our books about bubbles and a story about a road that had a big hole that needed to be covered for cars to go over.



 

Break Through Week 8, Cooking Group

Concept Learning Week 6: Why do our feelings change?

Student Voice: What makes you happy?

Can you think of other words to use instead of sad?

Stage 1: cut out the circles

Stage 2: when you have cut out the circles draw the faces on

Here are our faces!!!

We could say what made us happy or sad

Numeracy

Today for our warm up we ordered numbers to 20.

Then we decorated our cakes on our whiteboards with m&m's and beans. We were leaning how to add two sets of materials together.

Can you remember how many m&m's were on your cake?
