Science | Summary

L.I to summaries the information

This week for our reading topic (science), we created a summary using the information from our post it notes. In our summary, we skimmed and scanned to find the important keywords. We also shared our ideas and collaborated to create our summary. For our next activity, we used a question dice to help us create three interesting questions that we wanted to research. We all worked together in these activities.

The three most interesting questions are:

• When was science discovered? 

• Why is science important?

• How is science different from the past to today?

Sience | Main Ideas

L.I To find the three most vital ideas from the information to help us find the answer “What is science”. 

This week our reading topic is science. We watched a video which helped us understand what science is. While watching the video, we took notes, by selecting and rejecting the information. We used the information to identify the three most vital ideas. We shared our ideas among each other and negotiated on where to put the information on, whether it was 4 very important ideas or three most vital ideas. We also collaborated and respected each other's opinions for this activity. 

We think the three most vital ideas are:

Science is an answer and has the power to destroy and heal.

Science includes physics, chemistry and biology.

Science is discovering new things.

Waltzing Matilda Summary

L.I to create a summary of a poem called waltzing matilda
Last week for reading, we started an activity. The activity was to read the poem Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Paterson. After reading the poem, we needed to get into pairs (I was with Jack), and analyse the poem. With this information we then needed to go through a couple of questions. This included which version of the poem did you prefer, the original or new version? What do you think the poem was about? And what Literary Devices could the poet use to paint a vivid image in our heads? Once those questions were answered, the final step was to create a DLO that would explain what the poem was about in a summary. To help keep our ideas in order, a template DLO was given to us which we could use to store our ideas. For this activity I worked Jack, and we had a lot of fun.

First Up Summarising DLO

L.I to create a summary about First up.
First me and Joel wrote 20 interesting words about the text. Then we went on to the 6 most important words. Next we wrote a summary out of those 6 most important words. Our summary was:
Yuri Gagarin took off in Vostok 1 in 1961. He was the first cosmonaut to be launched into space. He orbited earth for 108 minutes before landing back on earth. 
The text first up is about a man named Yuri Gagarin who was the first cosmonaut who went into space. Something I found interesting is that Yuri Gagarin was in space for only 108 minutes. Something I learnt new was that Yuri Gagarin was the first person to ever leave earth.
