Pre Reading Task Week 1 Term 4

• What made you choose this book?  I chose this book because it looks very cool and when I read the blurb it made me inspired to read it.

• What appeals to you?  I think that book appeals to me because it gives me ideas what to read next because the author of the book would of tried to get people hooked in to the story because most of the story stands out allot.

• What hooked you in? I got hooked in by the blurb that said it had monsters and dragons because I like fantasy books so I think this is a good book for me.

• What hooked you in? I got hooked in by the blurb that said it had monsters and dragons because I like fantasy books so I think this is a good book for me.

1. Title - The Spiral Chrysalis sounds like a scary but fun title so I wanted to read It the reason why I picked it is because it looks scary and I like scary books I wonder what Chrysalis means the book is very tempting to read because of its cover.

2. Cover Design - I think the illustrations look a bit scary because it looks like there is blood on the book and the spirals look like ghosts zooming threw the page but I know its not real because its just fantasy and so its not real.

  3. blurb - the blurb really hooks me in because it talks about fantasy and I like fantasy books so I think this book would be good for me and the blurb makes me want to read more and more until I finish but once I finish that one I will want a second book just like the.

 4. Predictions - I think the set is in frozen vale and I think that they are trying to save there friend called kelly I think that kelly is screaming for help but they don't know witch way kelly got kidnapped.

Dear David

I think that we should add discovery time for poutama again because right now all we are doing is wearable arts and that’s just like art what we used to do but in wearable arts we can’t make cool clay animations or play with moon dough and in wearable arts you have to do it by yourself and in discovery time you can do it with as many people as you like.

PEP TALK!
Kid president

here is the video to help you understand  https://youtu.be/RwlhUcSGqgs

I think kid president is trying to tell us that you have to keep trying over and over again to get it right sometimes it takes about 300 times to get something right and also I think he is trying to say that if we go to school we will get smart if every single day we learn you properly will be the smartest at school.

this is what I would say if I was doing a PEP TALK!

I would say that not everyone is perfect at learning you will have to be REAL GOOD at learning to be perfect but sorry to say this but nobody is perfect everyone has something to work on and evan the smartest people had to learn to be the smartest but here is the main point if you have not got it yet nobody is perfect but everybody is good at something.

tic-tac-toe activitys

In reading we have been doing tic tac toe activities and this is what I did

this is knoword it helps us learn words and guess what word it is.

science with suzanne

Description:In science with Suzanne we have been making a video about the digestive system. We have been looking at all kinds of different animal poo to help us with our video. ( Suzanne planted the animal poo in the garden to see what the poo would do to the soul).

success criteria:we need
*lots of interesting details about digestion that our audience won’t know

*clear explanations about each stage of the digestion process by talking clearly and loudly, and using specific science vocabulary
*clear images to help your audience understand new information and facts
*humour/interesting detail to keep the audience engaged

Big Idea: Digestion is all about breaking the food down into tiny bits so it is small enough to travel around in your blood to feed your body and give it energy. We have been learning about the digestive system and have been making a video about it to show other people what the digestive system does in our tummy. So my group and I have made an animation to show you guys about it. Her is the finishing results.

Feedback/Feedforward: Well Done!! When I watched the video it made me proud. I think that our group was a great team. You did a great job on talking about how the food goes into our mouths because I know that you had been working on the pronunciation for a long time. Maybe next time you could work on giving more information to the audience so after they have watched the video they would have learned more about the digestive system.

Evaluation: In science with Suzanne we have been learning about the digestive system for term 2. I think I did well on getting all the information into the sort part but my group and I had a little trouble getting into the use it part. My goal for next term is going to be to do the get it and sort it part a bit more faster by cooperating with my team so we can get to the use it part faster.
