Week 4: The Summarising Strategy

The Summarising Strategy

In Room 12 we have been learning about the summarising strategy, so I'm going to tell you some facts. If you copy someones work which means like there own book or writing that is called plagiarism. 
First of all I'm going to tell you about Key Words.  
Key Words are just some words that help you make up a sentence. 
Here is an example - I wil give you some key words about Little Red Riding Hood.

Example: 

Key Words: Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf, Grandma

When Little Red Riding Hood was going to her Grandma's house she met the Big Bad Wolf.

(The words in the blue are my key words that I used)

Week 3: My Matchstick Name

Last week, my class and I tried to make our name out of 50 matchsticks. The first time we tried, it was a bit hard for some of us so we tried it the second time. 
The second time we tried, most of us got it, but we forgot to take the picture of our names. 
The third time we tried it, everyone got it right. 
There were two options you could choose to do but you had to do it with 50 matchsticks. 
The first option you could choose to do was you could make your name 1 metre long, or you could make your name 20cm tall.   
I chose to make my name 20cm tall.  My name has 4 letters in it, so I had 3 or 2 matchsticks left and we had to use all of our 50 matchsticks and the good thing was that we could overlap, I had to overlap because I only had a few matchsticks left.. I went well with my other letters which were L-I-V, but when I tried the Y, it was a bit hard and I had to do the Y about two times and then I got the Y perfect.
Our main part of learning was about learning how to measure properly. Our criteria was to make our name accurately. The way we measured accurately was that we used rulers.
We also tried to work out the total value of our names. 
The way we worked out the total value of our name was that Mrs Miller gave us a sheet and it had how much the colours cost us. 

Week 2: Pencil's Necklace

It was 2006 and Pencil was at the park. While Pencil was going down the slide she noticed that her necklace was not on her neck. 
"OH NO!!!!" cried Pencil. "Where is my necklace?" 
Pencil loved that necklace so much she could not ever lose it.
"Come on, time to go Pencil” said Pencil’s mum. 
"Okay", replied Pencil with a sad voice. 
Pencil did not tell her parents that she had lost her necklace otherwise they would be very angry. The next morning when Pencil woke up, she meet Elsa from Frozen. Frozen was Pencil’s favourite movie and she of course knew Elsa. 
“Hi Pencil” Elsa. 
“Hi Elsa”, replied Pencil. 
“What are you here for?" asked Pencil.
"I am here to help you find your necklace." said Elsa.
Pencil jumped up high because she was really happy. So when Pencil and Elsa reached to the park they start looking for Pencils necklace. 
“Look what I found” said Elsa to Pencil, “Is this your necklace?” 
"Yes, it is Elsa" Said Pencil
Then suddenly Elsa disappeared. 
“Oh” said Pencil. "I wanted to say thank you to Elsa for finding my necklace".
