Timeline of Vincent Van Gogh

 LI: To create a timeline to  show the life of Vincent Van Gogh. 

Today Lily,Afatia,Skashi and I worked together to complete this task for reading and writing. We used our searching skills and our opinions to create an timeline on Vincent Van Gogh. We used a website called Padlet which help us create the summary of his life. We first worked as a team by searching for interesting facts and information about Vincent Van Gogh and wrote it on a piece of paper. We then looked for websites that could help understand more about him. Once we have found the information we added it onto the time line and used images to help the readers understand more. We learned a lot about his personal life and his career. After completing this task the most interesting fact that I learned was that he wasn't really noticed when he was alive because people didn't  like how he did dark colours but after all he went to France and looked at all the colourful paintings  so he decided to use more of colourful colours . Vincent Van Gogh would use his moods to pain so if Vincent was sad he'd use dark colours if he is in the mood of happiness he would use colourful colours . Now that Vincent Van Gogh died he is now most known as the best artist of still life in the history .

Cybersmart / helping others

 LI : To create a Screencastify which will help others find a class blog . 

The above screencastify is created by Liletina, Afatia, Sakshi  and me under the topic of cybersmart. The reason we created this video is to guide the students or parents who are new to our school and do not know how to access something. We first chose the topic of our video which is to reach to a class blog. We first created our script on a piece of paper and then decided the dialogues each person will say. Once we were ready we created the screencastify from my chromebook. We made a couple of mistakes at first but we then got the confidence from trying it again and again. I liked that we could showcase our learning through a video and it could be helpful.

We had a game of freeze to the music and Miss Rebecca would give us three positions Snake , Stick, Star   to do a stick  position you have to  put your  arms by your side and legs together , Star position is when you do a star jump but freeze and the snake position is when you go on the floor and legs curve and and put your hands together and curve it . Before we started to dance we had some warm ups to warm our heart up  from beating slow to fast and to make us more fitted .

What is Science?

L.I To summarise the information.
L.I: to find the most vital ideas from the information to help us answer the question what is science.

This week for reading we have been learning about what science is. We started off with writing down what we already knew about science on sticky notes, then we watched a video to find out more. While watching the video we used the sticky notes to make notes. The video explains the areas of science, the difference between basic science and applied science. One thing we found really interesting was that you use chemistry, physics, and biology when you make a lime juice from fresh limes. 

We negotiated and shared ideas to create a summary, we used the sticky notes to create sentences for the summary. Our group worked collaboratively to get these activities completed. We enjoyed doing this activity as we were able to practise negotiating and taking time to respect everybody's ideas. We have summarised our learning below.

Science is about getting knowledge from asking questions . It is divided into 3 areas: Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Science is both basic and applied, basic science using what you know. Science is either beneficial or harmful depending on how you view and use it. 

Questions we want to ask:

1. Where can science be used?
2. Why is science important to our world ?
3. When do scientists ask questions?
