This week we finally finished the 'Julian' chapter, which means that we have sadly finished reading 'Wonder' by R.J.Palacio. This is an amazing book that I have enjoyed just as much the second time around! But what I enjoy even more is the way the kids fall in love with the characters and story line, and hopefully 'choose kind' as much as possible in the future. This week students responded to 'The Julian Chapter' by completing comprehension and inferential questions. After drafting their answers in their English books they recorded themselves on AutoRap - this is the final product! An engaging way to present their understanding!
What things have used in the classroom to respond to text?

For one of your maths activities over the next fortnight you will be completing a 'Math Map' trail via google maps. You will notice the little markers all over the map, when you click on one it will give you a question that you will need to solve. Some of the questions will require you to go down to ground view and have a look around to help you answer the questions. To do this, you need to drag the little man to the spot that you would like to look at.....be patient, sometimes it takes a little bit of fiddling to get him in the right position! Could you please write the number and title of the question in your books and show any working out along with your answers. You can work together on this one, provided you are both using your mathematical thinking, not just one of you!
Last week we spent some time taking a closer look at different types of figurative language, how it helps to create strong visual images and what they mean. This week we are going to see how well we understood them by completing short quiz. Make sure that you put your name and email in correctly as once you have finished the quiz and submitted your answers you will be sent an email with a summary of how well you went. You will see the questions that you got right as well as those you answered incorrectly as well as some feedback for future work on figurative language. Good luck!
One of your literacy tasks this week is to respond critically and thoughtfully to the short animation 'Monkey Symphony'. The video is created using Edpuzzle which means that it will stop at various points and ask you questions and it will not continue until you have answered them. When you answer please make sure that you are adding detail to support your thinking....I look forward to reading your answers! The code you will need is aKLR3R
