The Lonely Man

Hi Bloggers
This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.

 We want to show them - not tell them.

For example, Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realized he had just missed the bus.  But instead, I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realized that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

3D Maths

Hello Fellow Bloggers
For maths this week we had to draw 3D shapes out of a certain amount of cubes we started off with five cubes to make a shape with and worked our way up to 15 cubes we had to make 3 shapes per number of cubes.

Out of all the number of cubes 10 was the hardest to make a shape out of especially 3.

Inferences Of The Twits

kia ora Bloggers
This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something

an inference is when we make take clues from the text or image, and add them to our thought or prior knowledge and make an inference for example when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that this photo was taken in a food in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair
nets and this is required in all food factories.

The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.
Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr. and Mrs. Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr. and Mrs. Twit. 

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time!

My Questionably Flag

my task was to make a flag that represented ourselves after we watched why don't country have purple flags so I chose a black flag to represent my country.

 

 In my flag, I put a question mark on it because I don't know what I care about apart from family and friends. But I still put on things that I enjoy like games and my country New Zealand.    

Do you know why countries don't have purple flags?
