Learning plan review

This is a link to my learning plan review

Multi-cultural week

This week I have participated actively in a range of learning experience around ‘Multicultural week’

WHAT: I was involved in a range of learning experiences for Multicultural week. I did spring origami, (unfortunately I was at ukulele lessons, so I couldn't do chopsticks,) I got henna on my left hand, and I learnt about Israel and Russia.

SO WHAT:

I learnt that Russia can get up to -71° in winter.

I enjoyed getting some henna done  on my left hand.

I was most fascinated that there is a building (Kizhi Pogost) that has no nails!

NOW WHAT

A question I have is how hot does it get in Israel?

Integrated Learning

WALT describe ideas about school design.
The school idea I am presenting is built in iPads on the desks. I am presenting this by making a diorama.
 I think the school should use this idea because it will be much easier not having to walk to the other side of the room for an iPad when there's one stuck into your desk!

Swimming

Room 6 and I started swimming lessons at Starfish Swim school like the other year 5\6 classes for two weeks.

I learnt the dolphin dive stroke, and the most challenging thing that I found was when we did races. I am most proud of my swimming in general. =) 

CARE Values

I know how to show my CARE values in the classroom. I think we have the CARE values at Oaklands School because they help us be better people and they train us to be kind.
I think the most important CARE value is use your time wisely.

Reading-Our Class Novel

As a class we read the novel Best Mate by Michael Morpurgo.
The best thing about this book was that Best Mate got to see Patrick again.
A question I have for the author is why did you want to become an author and write books?
I am feeling exhilarated about starting the BFG.
