Informal and Formal Writing

Informal is language we use personally or to people we know. Formal is addressing people.

Informal language is used to apply for jobs. For example, using language for jobs and interviews. Also used for sending texts and video chat for something that is important.

Formal is used for friends you know and for family members. sending texts to friends and video calling with friends.

Formal and Informal are two different things because of the word in front of informal and formal having no in front of formal.

 

Train Facts

I learned about rail and stakeholders. 

First, I learnt the meaning of stakeholders. Stakeholders means when somebody has meant a new invented technology. investing it for more money than they had to use to make the bottles. The vehicle about rail that I was learning about was trains. 

Next, I had to find 10 facts about trains.  I searched facts about trains. One of my facts were, did you know the world record of the fastest speed of a train is 574.8 kmph. One of the interesting facts I found out about was did you know China had over 99,000 miles of railroad tracks in 2017.

I enjoyed this activity because I learned about stakeholders. I need to improve on fact checking my facts. I did well on using the right keywords for finding out information I needed.

 

Basic Facts Boxes

I did basic facts boxes in times tables.

My time was 3 minutes and 37 seconds. I did my basic facts boxes in times tables.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to do basic facts boxes in times tables. I need to improve on being faster on my times tables. I did well on getting the answers right.

Perimeter

I learned about perimeter.

First I learned the meaning of perimeter. The meaning of perimeter is measuring the outside of the area. You have to predict the metres or the cms of the area you are measuring. The area I was measuring was in metres because it was in a metre. For example: our class mat is measured in cm (centimetre). We measured our school field. The measurement for the school field is 201 metres. Our guess was 150.33 – 190 metres. We were 11 metres off.

Next I had to go to the google map. and try to figure out the right measurement. The measurement of the field is 100 metres. Our guess was also 100 metres.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to measure the outline of the field. I need to improve on trying to measure the right side. I did well on guessing the measurement.

Fear of Heights

I told a story about a time I was scared or shy about. 

First I thought about a time that I was scared or shy about. My story was about me going up to the top of the rock climbing. I had a thought on who motivated me to jump down. I did not want to jump because I am afraid of heights. 

Next, My motivational sentence was from my mum. My mum said, “if you jump I will give you lollies”. I jumped because I wanted some lollies. I found a picture showing about my topic that I was scared of or what I was shy of. 

I enjoyed this activity because Mr Wong told a scary story that was entertaining. I did well on being motivated from the words my mum had said. I need to improve by taking risks and just jumping.

Shot Put

I learned shot put techniques. The three shotput techniques are using three fingers.

First I practised the first technique. The first technique I learned was to put three fingers on the ball. The second technique was to put it onto my neck. Third skill I learnt was the stance of the shot put. 

Next I practised using the skills in shot putting the ball to my partner. Joe was helping me still trying to get into the right position and how to throw the ball. 

Last I got it right on the stance, and how to throw the ball. I was doing big throws. I almost hit someone in the face because I was not aiming properly.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to do shot put. I need to improve on throwing the ball straight. I did well on the stance.

Pros and Cons

I learned pros and cons. I used pros and cons for sea vehicles.

First I wrote ideas on why a crew ship and gallys are good and what a crewships and gally’s need to improve on. Then Mrs White asked the class if they would go on a gally or a crew ship. Mostly everyone picked a cruise ship because it is fancy to be on and I also agreed on being on a crew. 

Next, Mrs White brought up a scenario for people to really think about if they really would want to go on a cruise ship. Mrs White said “what if you had a budget and the budget was 10,000 dollars. Would you rather go on a cruise ship that costs 8,000 to go on it and spend the rest in Mexico. Or go on a gally and only spend 500 dollars to get to Mexico. I thinked about how I picked the galley.

Lastly, I wrote pros and cons for a ship and a jet ski. I had to write down as many as I can for both vehicles. I did four pros for my jet ski and five cons for my jet ski. Also on my ship I did four pros and for cons I did five.

There are many pros and cons for vehicles.

Commenting

I watched different movies about a topic.

First they all said a little speech of what their movie was about. Some movies were funny and some movies were telling us stuff we should fix. For example, Looking after the environment.

Next we watched more movies showing people singing. It was entertaining every movie. Pokiblade was my favourite because of how Kane was being bullied and he was training Riley to become stronger.

 I enjoyed this activity because the movies were entertaining. 

 

Commanding Conversation

I did a task called commanding conversation.

I made a conversation for a son and a dad. I used different things for whenever I was making up the talk.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to make up a conversation. I did well on this task. I need to imrpove on rememebering to use question marks and commors.
