This term, our topic is Asia. LS1 & 2 were put into 5 groups. For each one, we are learning about a country from Asia. My group is learning Japan.  Today, I've completed a DLO displaying two landmarks from Japan. I also added 5 facts about Japan.

Tech

Today, I was again working on my artwork. I was finishing my middle ground and adding few details to the foreground. I hope to finish my drawing next week.

Bias

On Monday, my group for reading were learning about bias. Bias means a  person's point of view or choosing 1 person's point of view over the other. Mrs K showed us two examples showing bias. In one example the point of view was about the choosing of male musicians (involved in symphonies) over female musicians. In the other example, the writer was persuading the reader (or audience) to stop using cell-phones (while driving) by only using one point of view.  These two examples show a different type of bias but are linked because of the one point of view that is shown through out these two examples. 

Sub: Paragraph and Word Wall

The soccer players were standing in the subzero weather. The coach was listening to the subliminal messages booming around the stadium. The soccer players were so crazy that their coach had to subdue them by offering them steak and cheese pies. The substitutes emerged, which was strange as they had been submerged for so long in the subterranean entrance. The other team subjugated most of the home fans. Many of the fans came from the subway that day. All the players and coaches were looking at the subtitles on the big screen.

Today, my group and I were working on our third SPaG (spelling,punctuation and grammar). We were looking for the sub(as a prefix). We used the dictionary to find 23 words starting with sub but also having sub mean below/under. After all that time finding words which fit the word wall. We had to write a paragraph making no sense but having 9 words(underlined) from the word wall. If you don't know what sub means (the word only), the word mean something below/under( example is; Subway). Subway ( not the sandwich)  company) means underway(train gong under).

Finding Fractions of an amount Problem Solving
