Instructional writing info

This is my presentation about instruction writing! Where we had to rewrite a set of instruction in our own way.

Earthquake letter

(LISTEN TO THIS SONG ITS PRETTY NICE AND HOPEFULLY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY)

Our thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with the kiwis who have been affected by this terrible earthquake,

I am deeply sorry for what you have been through. I have a great sense of sympathy for you, I hope you are alright and doing well with your family. I know that you have suffered from this awful earthquake but you can overcome this. I believe that all of you are going to be okay and no matter what life throws at you you can be strong enough to pull through it.

I just can’t believe there have been 800 aftershocks! Since Monday's 7.5 quake in North Canterbury. It seems so scary and I hope you are safe somewhere. This earthquake was more powerful than Christchurch's earthquake in 2011, which was 6.3! So this earthquakes magnitude has to be one of the most powerful the country has seen. I am very sorry to hear that 2 people have sadly passed away because of the earthquake.

Seeing all the damages  to your poor city makes me so sad for all those people who   are suffering. I understand that your food and water supply are low but don’t worry cavalry is on the way! It’s already horrible with the earthquake but seeing all those landslides are CRAZY! But don’t worry and have faith that everything is going to be okay because I do!

Lastly I really want to tell you that please don’t be sad because I know that together you can get through all of this! All my prayers are going to have you guys in them. I hope you believe me when I say I really care about you! I don’t care if we haven’t met I just hope with all of my heart that you are happy! So be strong and God bless you.

Fair Testing Preserve water

This is our reading work for this week. We are learning how to synthesize information from multiple sources. We were given the task to summarize 2 pieces of texts with a partner. Here is how I wrote it with my partner Ariana 

Word Problems W6 T4

Here are my word problems that I have completed for this week! It was quite difficult trying to write what I did for all 35 questions but I go it in the end! 

OBTUSE ANGLE POSTER OF BOSSNESS

We were given the tack to create a poster to show and teach a year 4 about a angle of our choice. I have chosen the Obtuse angle. It shows information about the angle and what it is. 

Mixture of problems T4

This is my practice problems for this week. 

Fast Rust Task

Rust

Walt: Synthesize information from multiple sources.  

Success Criteria: I can make links between the multiple resources I access.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Water

Oxygen

Iron

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

First Oxygen mixes with water then the iron reacts to the oxygen in the water turning it into iron oxide. Next the iron oxide reacts to the water which forms hydrated iron oxide. Hydrated iron oxide is what we call rust and this process continues until all the iron is gone.

How could you prevent something from rusting?

Cover it oil because oil can prevent oxygen coming on to the iron and you need all three for rust to happen. Also paint can prevent rusting as well.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

Salt can make rusting happen faster You can not rust iron in boiled water because all the oxygen has left the water through the steam The symbol for iron is Fe

Science Investigation - Fair testing

Science Investigation

Fair Testing

Fill out the following table to help you explain the Growing in the dark: Plants and light experiment

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	Can plants grow in the dark?
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I predict that the plant in the cupboard will not grow because plants need sun to grow big and strong.
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	I will not change anything..
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	I will measure how tall the plant grows in the light and in the dark.
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	I will make the type of plant and soil the same. I will use the same type of seed and soil to complete this experiment.

The students of Room 4 wanted to find out what color of bird feeders birds preferred. Fill our the table below thinking of which variables you would make independent, dependent and controlled.

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	What color of bird feeders do birds prefer?
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I predict that birds do prefer colors because it is said that birds can see more color than humans the birds she be drawn to a bright and colorful bird feeder.
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	The one and only thing I will change is the color of each bird feeder.
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	The thing I will measure is the amount of birds that go to each bird feeder.
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	One of the things I will keep the same is the shape of the bird house and the type of wood I will use because the birds won’t see it since it will be covered in paint. Another I will keep the same is the type of bird food that goes into the bird feeder.
