Year 6 Memories

This is my final post on my blog for Elm Park. I made this post all about my 3 years at Elm Park. I will miss this school but I am going on to year 7. Goodbye Elm Park.

Auggie's Classroom

 Walt : identify and use the perimeter rule to calculate the size of Auggie’s classroom.

I was able to create a classroom for a Wonder math activity. I was also able to create an irregular shape for my classroom. I used a dotted line to make it easier for me to calculate my classroom perimeter.

Next time I could try to have an irregular shape with decimals as well.

Wonder Language Features

Walt : recognise and understand specific language features.

I was able to :

• Understand the meanings of different types of language features eg. personification, idioms.
• Listen carefully to the words and phrases in the story Wonder.
• Re-read the part in the story where I thought there was a specific language feature.  
• Take my take my time and think carefully about the different language features that the author used.  

     My favourite language feature is an idiom.

Next time I could  use a  sticky note to write down different language features in Wonder .

The Plaque

This is my poster about the Plaque. This was a activity from the book Wonder. This is related to the book Wonder  because people where playing a Plaque game behind Auggie's back.

Precious McKenzie

Precious McKenzie book creator

Walt : edit my Precious McKenzie writing independently to identify errors and get my work ready for Book Creator publishing.

I was able to

• I was able to use a dictionary/internet to correct my spelling errors.
• I was able to find the words that had red lines under them and I went and corrected my spelling mistakes.
• I was able to make sure I had used capital letters in the right places eg. names, places, beginning of sentences.
• I was able to use fullstops at the end of my sentences.
• I was able to re-read my sentences to make sure no words were missed out and my sentences made sense.

Next time I am going to get into a habit of editing any piece of writing like my equipt writing or an email.

Wonder Portrait and Precept

I was able to design a portrait and choose a precept for my Wonder portrait.  My Precept is : "Follow your dreams. It may be a long journey, but the path is light in front of you".  In my portrait I added a bow in my hair and choose a right eye. I found this easy and fun to do. I chose this precept because I found it inspiring.

Wonder Kindness Poem

WALT: use new words to suit my acrostic poem.

I was able to use two new words in my acrostic poem. The two new words I used were delightful and empathetic.

Next time I could try to use some more new words in my acrostic poem by looking in a thesaurus and replacing some of the words I used in my kindness poem. I can also use new words in my equipt writing as well.
