Number Banks | Maths

 L.I to practice our place value knowledge. 

In this DLO above, I was required to adjust these numbers. The numbers that I were given were 49,2615. With these numbers, I needed to adjust the numbers, as the document had told me. 

(e.g What is the largest six-digit number you can make?) The purpose of this task was to help us challenge our place value knowledge, into re-arranging these numbers. 

I really enjoyed this task, because of how it challenged my knowledge.

Giant Panda Research | Writing

LI: to use our smart searching skills to find information about the giant panda.


Our focus for this challenge was based on writing TEEL paragraphs about giant pandas. After using our smart searching skills, we used the TEEL structure in order to write paragraphs. TEEL is the acronym for: topic sentence, elaborate, evidence and link sentence. 

First we researched about giant pandas and found information about them. After this, we made bullet point notes including the main points of our research. These notes helped create sentences with all the main ideas and made it understandable. 

After making the notes we started writing our TEEL paragraphs. TEEL paragraphs help us to expand our knowledge/ideas and formulate our thinking into informational pieces of text. 

We found this activity very enjoyable because we collaborated together to find out shocking information about pandas. One thing I learnt from this activity was that giant pandas are very close to extinction.

Activity 3 : Ready for Learning | Cybersmart

 L.I Be cybersmart and use our devices to Learn, Create & Share. 



In this activity, we were asked to create a set-up for distance learning. This was if another lock-down occurred and we needed to continue with our learning at home. The point of this, is for us to know what we are doing when joining google meets, and becoming more confident. 

In this DLO, we were required to put in 5 different links. The links that were required was our class room link, school website, my class blog, my own blog and the SLJ. These links were learning links, which we can easily let us catch up with the latest learning or updates on school. 

We also had to think of top tips for effective online learning - location top tips and participation top tips. If you wanna learn more about tips of joining a google meet, check out the last slide of the presentation. 

I really enjoyed this activity, because I got to create a set-up, and remind myself what it would be like in distance learning.

Hydration & Health

 L.I to understand why staying hydrated is important for our learning and health. 


As you may know, our bodies are mostly made up of water. Drinking water regularly makes you hydrated and full of energy, but the opposite is being dehydrated. Being dehydrated is when your body isn’t getting enough water that it needs. This causes tiredness, lack of energy, dry lips, and dark colored urine. Each day it is important to fill your body with water, especially during school, when every time we breathe we lose more water. Water can help your body stay cool, and healthy. there are many benifits water can do for you

In groups of 2-4 we created a DLO explaining why being hydrated is good for both health and learning. In my group there was Tanisha, Peyton, Fau and I. We worked collaboratively to define, dehydration and hydration. 

 After reading this DLO I hope you have a good understanding on why is it very important to keep hydrated by drinking water, here are the results.
