E-Portfolio sample - Reading Term 2

LEARNING INTENTIONS:

• Use prior knowledge to connect with text
• Check accuracy and the meaning of text whilst reading (ITTM)
• Use prior knowledge and context to confirm author's meaning of words and phrases

When using the “I think that means” strategy, what do you have to do?

In ITTM you will get a sentence given by the teacher "Miss Butler" or "Ms Matthews" and you have to change all the words in that sentence into your owns words!

How would you get a “3”?

You get a three by convincing the audience/teacher by putting the WHOLE sentence into your own words!

What is a roadblock?

A roadblock is a word that you yourself do not know what it means for e.g colony!

Term 2 Visual Art - “Creature Features”

Term 2 Visual Art - “Creature Features”

Name of your creature: Aldrabra Tortoise!

What part of your sketch did you find the most challenging and why?

I think the most hardest part for me was the actual sketching and shaping my Tortoise's head.

It probably was hard for me because how blunt my pencil was and how hard I was compressing the pencil to the paper.

What part of your final piece do you like the most and why?

I think I liked the head the most because it was the most blended and it really got messy but I liked how it turned out in the end!

Animal Name: aldrabra tortoise!

Dear aldrabra tortoise! Why is your shell so depressing?

Wow how rude! My shell is only a dark shade so a hawk won't spot me all through the sand and dry Savannahs. I'm glad
that my shell is not as colourful as a parrot so I don't die!

Dear aldrabra tortoise! what does your shell do to protect you?
You probably don't know why shell is so thick it does protect me from predators. Most important of all my shell is
thick so when I'm on dry land it keeps me from being dehydrated!

Basketball Tower STEM Challenge

BASKETBALL TOWER REFLECTION

What was the hardest part of this challenge for you? Why?

The hardest part was probably working together because we were building our individual tower parts.

What worked really well in this challenge for you ? Why?

What worked well for my team was when we went up to share our presentation to see if the tower would hold the basketball and it surprisingly didn't roll of the table because our tower was just a stack of newspaper taped together.

What value did you mostly have to show in this challenge and why?

I showed Create because when we were building our parts for our tower they were very strong.  At the end  we ended up not having enough time to put our tower parts together but our parts were still very strong!

What question do you now have because of this challenge?

What would happen if I added less tape?
