Adding fractions

This week I learnt how to add fractions.

First I had to learn what the denominator and the numerator is, the denominator is the bottom number what also is how many parts I have, the numerator what is the top number what also is how many parts that has been divided 

Then I had to add fractions,for example I had to add fractions like 5/6 and 9/6, I also learnt that you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same.

Lastly I had to answer all the questions on a form.

I liked this task because I learnt more about adding fractions, but I think I need to get better at adding them, but I think I’m good at finding the answer.

Netball skills

This week I learnt netball skills.

First, we had to get into a group of three and had to pass the ball to each other, when catching the ball we had to make sure to make our hands in a W shape. I also learnt we had to pass from the chest.

Then, we got into two groups then lined up, we had to try and get to the end when doing the up and down strategy, after we did that we had to play a game quite similar but we had to pass the ball side to side.

Lastly, we played a real game of netball.

I liked to learn netball skills, but I think I need to get better at passing, but I think I’m good at catching. 

Persuasive speech

In a speech there is OREO

O is for Opinion, when doing your opinion make sure to use the APE structure which means Assertion,Proof and Explain.

R is for Reasons E is for Explanations, these are to back up your information,opinion.

O is for your last Opinion, to tell the person what you think.

I liked writing a speech, but I think I need to improve saying my solution,but I think I m good at saying my opinion.

To think about two sides of an issue

This week I learnt about how to think about two sides of an issue.

First Me and my group had to do SSR selfie, then we had to cloze, then lastly fact find.

Next we had to read a book about animal testing and state our opinions on it in teams, we had to have 4 reasons why we dont think we should test animals and 4 reasons we do think we should test animals.

Lastly I had to make my own opinion on animal testing on a slide.

I liked this task because I learnt more about how to think about two sides of an issue, but I think I need to get better at thinking about the issue, but I think I think I’m good at stating my opinion.
