Describing Roald Dahl

My learning intention is to describe the author and research about Roald Dahl.


I described the author in a list of ten and went to the official Roald Dahl Website for more detail about him.

I found out that Roald Dahl can illustrate too and be a author at the sametime. Roald Dahl also had a mum and dad. The dad’s name was Harald and the mum’s name was Sophie.

Smart Commenting

My learning intention is to know how to comment on other people's blogs.

I learned how to comment on Mary-Jane’s blog from Tamaki Primary school in room ten. I commented on Mary-Jane’s blog using a greeting, connection, question, and motivational scentace.

I learned by using four ideas for commenting. Greeting means you say a “Hello” or a different language “Hello” Connection means when you connect to their story so for example if they are writing about a dog you will make a connection like you have a dog too. A question means you ask a question about their story like. Did you quit the trip? Or did you quit cooking because you burned your hand? A  motivational sentence means when you say “Great job!” or “Keep up the good work”

Describing Matilda

My learning intention is to know how to describe a character.

I learned how to describe Matilda in a list of ten and describing how smart she is and how much knowledge she knows. Matilda has many different personalities some being she is the nicest person and smartest.

I had to put in a picture of Matilda so people know i'm describing Matilda. Matilda never stops reading either she just keeps on reading. Her parents hate it when she reads too. It can also be hard to describe Matilda because she doesn’t have too many personalities.

Maths Strategys

My learning intention is to learn how to use four strategies with and without the structure.

I learned how to do four strategies without and with the structure and know how they work.

If I had a place value house I would say that 500+155=655 I would have the correct answer. I did another answer to get the right answer to the question. I would do the number line the same way but add a bit more numbers to it. If i added more numbers then I could've gotten the wrong answer but I added the right amount of numbers. So I got the correct answer. The same things go along without the structure so without the number line and without the place value house.  


Commenting on my partner's narrative

My learning intention is to know how to investigate through my partner’s story and comment on the mistakes they made.

I learned how to comment on my partner’s story and see the mistakes they had made. If they made any mistakes then I will have to comment about them so they can go back and fix it.

I learned that if someone else comments on your story it can help you a lot. Therfore the next time you make a story you will remember that you have to check it before doing anything else.

Comparing and contrasting a pencil and a Chromebook

My learning intention is to know how to compare and contrast a piece of technology and a technological system.

I compared and contrasted a pencil and a Chromebook together and figured out how similar they both are. A compare and contrast is something that you use to figure out how similar one object is to another.

I found out that a pencil is similar to a Chromebook because they can both write and you can write letter to each other on both objects.
