Boy on a bike

This week we have been doing a three level guide this is what mine looks like. BOY ON A BIKE

By Bronwen Wall

WALT: infer different levels of meaning within and beyond the text

Level 1. Literal Meaning (we find evidence in the text)

The wind howled in mac’s ears He gripped his handlebars tighter Something large swept into his peripheral vision He ate every 20 minutes

Level 2. Inferential Meaning (we read between the lines to infer what the writer has implied)

It says he had the worst day on the first day I would like it to happen first so I can get it over and done with They said that they ate every 20 minutes i would probably have stich if i did that It says when they were experimenting tying 3 tires together

Level 3. Applied Meaning (we decide what the author might think or may want us to think from what has been said-we make a link to the text from our own experiences)

I would not be able to bike for that long he showed heaps of  perseverance It must've taken alot of planning  time like the route the food or the clothes

Wild boy

WILD BOY (bronze level work)

WILDBOY The Journey of Brando Yelavich

By Stephanie Chamberlin

WALT: infer meaning within and beyond the text

Level 1. Literal Meaning (we find evidence in the text)

HE fought with his parents about everything. He went through some tough terrain

Level 2. Inferential Meaning (we read between the lines to infer what the writer has implied)

When he got home he was a different person He wanted to change his life

Level 3. Applied Meaning (we decide what the author might think or may want us to think from what has been said-we make a link to the text from our own experiences)

When brando was alone he sorted his life out Brando is very tought I would be to scared to do what he did

This week we have been reading a book about Brando Yelavich  how he traveled around New Zealand.

Waiting

This week we have been doing a poem I did it about waiting in the car.

How I feel about this task

I thought about this task when I first saw it was going to be hard but after I started it was getting easier because I started get the task.    

Ballast

Today we had been introduced to the ballast problem.
A ballast is actually a weight in the bottom of a ship.
So you need the weight to be balanced to stay afloat if not then you are going to sink so what we had to do is create the same number out of the equations.
The first to boxes you multiply and it equals 10 the other three you add and it equals 10
so the boat stays floating because it is the same ending number.

Blotch

Today we did Blotch maths its was a fun activity where you have to fill in the hole sheet with 3 different colored pencil. you choose a number and color it in dark then surround them with the same color and do it about 3 times and try to color the whole box.
