Powerful learner

 This week we have set goals to work towards. These  are the goals I set in my classroom

Doubling And Halving

 In class, we learned a new strategy called Doubling and Halving hji

When you do this strategy you look at the .............x......... then you have to halve the one that is gonna make it easier and the other you double.

.5 x 16-

a) I could double .5 and halve 16 = 1 x 8=8 

b) OR could halve .5 and double 16 =.25 x 32= 8

The easier way is A because it is more accessible during times

                                                                                                                                                                        

6 x 3.5

a) double 3.5 and halve 6= 7 x 3= 21

b) double 6 and halve 3.5= 12x 1.75=21

The easier way is A because  it makes it easier to times

LIMERICKS!

 In class, I learned about limerick poems.

They are a humorous five-lined poems with a rhyme scheme: AABBA.

Here is an example of a couple. (I wrote independently OR I wrote in my table group)

 Mr Prickett

• I once met a teacher from my school

He was kind of a cool

His name was David Prickett

I always called him Mr Crickett

That was the teacher from my school

Zoe

• I know a young, intelligent girl called Zoe

        She had a nasty friend called Chole

        But they got in a fight

        Sadly, They didn't reunite

That was the girl called Zoe

One from the internet but changed-

• There once was a young, beautiful girl in a tower

Who smelled like a lavender flower

Her hair was like silk

Her skin smooth as milk

That was the beautiful girl from the tower

Here is an example poem we look at in class…

Apostle Paul 

I once was a man named Saul.

I thought I knew it all.

I persecuted the church.

I went to Damascus to search.

Where Jesus transformed me into Paul.

I had lost my sight

All I could see was night.

I heard Jesus’s voice.

I made Him my choice.

Praise the Lord, I saw the Light.

What Is Figurative And Literal Language?

 Our focus is on the difference between figurative and literal language and how we use it. I find the literal language easier to see and figurative language easier to understand. The difference between figurative and literal is the literal is exactly what it says and figurative is making your words creative. I am strong at Figurative language and a little weak at literal language.
