LI: To read for meaning and understanding
Our challenge today was to complete a reading comprehension about the history of Manga to show that we are reading for meaning and understanding. Our final challenge in this activity was to create a DLO to share the information we found out.
A fact I found interesting is that manga is read from right to left. I found this facts interesting because normally you read a book from left to right.
LI: To read for meaning and understanding
Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to create a DLO in our own words that tells us about the life of our favourite manga artist or a well known manga artist.
A fact I found interesting about Akira Toriyama is that he has a net worth of $45 million dollars. I found this interesting because it shows if you put the time and effort great things would happen to you.
L.I: To summarise a text
For reading with Mrs Linda we read fantastic fish. It’s about different unique fish. Fiish have three different fins. They are the dorsal fin which keeps the fish from rolling over, the tail fin which pushes the fish forward and the pectoral fish which helps the fish steer.
Some interesting facts we found were that fish have three different types of fins. Mudskippers can live out of the water and a manta ray has a wingspan about 7 metres across.
We found this activity fun and interesting because we found out the different uses of the fins and there are some fish that don’t look like fish for example the seahorse and the mudskipper. This was an enjoyable activity.
This week for reading we had to draw 3 meadals(Gold, Silver, Bronze) on a google draw. We made medals becuase of the huge sports event olympics which is happening in Tokyo Japan right now.

L.I: To summarise and understand text.
This week we summarised and discussed about a non fiction text called Cockroaches: Born Survivors. This text is about information of a cockroach but it’s mainly about how a cockroach survives.
For our activity we had to find 20 import words and choose 6 most important words. Then we put those 6 most importants into a summary.
Cockroaches have two long spiked tails called Cerci. The cockroaches also like to hang around dark and warm places until it's night. The characteristics of a cockroach is that they are really fast and they can detect danger by their wind sensors. An interesting fact that our group found out about cockroaches is the fact that cockroaches lived on earth over 300 million years ago.
We found this activity interesting because we learnt many different things about cockroaches and had fun when learning.
Cockroaches detect danger by using their cerci and wind sensors. They are survivors because the use of their special sensors help them avoid many predators.
This week for I did a table mat, making connections and synthesis.
The first activity I did was table mat. I had find facts, keywords. I had to define 2 keywords. and key question.
The second activity I did was making connections. I had to make 2 connection for the text to the world, text to text, and text to self.
The last activity I did was he synthesis. There are three main text of the synthesis task.
There is prior knowledge, new information and new understanding. Prior knowledge is when you already know something. New information is finding facts that you know. New understandings is the what you learnt from the book like facts and new words
This week for reading I did a synthesis. Synthesis is task that involves prior knowledge, new information and new understanding.
I read a book on White Water Action and I first started with my prior knowledge. Prior knowledge is what you about that topic. After that I found new information. New information talks about the things you learnt such as facts from the topic. Then I used understandings from new information I learnt from the book.
I enjoyed doing this task.
For SSR Selfie my book was called the pencil of doom. This book was about a man named henry mcthrottle. Henry was an ordinary kid who wanted to get good grades. Mr. Brainfight was like a magician, he made a pencil vanish. Then the pencil was weird because whatever you draw it will become real.
