Memorial - Family Tree

Today for reading we have read this book and it talks about the memories and the books title is Memorial. For this activity we made a DLO about the characters in the story. I made it with my partner and we needed to put lots of facts and information on the family tree. 

I can see….

                                         

                                                    

I can see the snow below my skis. My jersey number is the number 4, it always stands out on my racing gear.  My head knows my next jump is important. Everyone can see my face and they know I'm pumped. The sweat on my coach's face is dripping onto his t-shirt. I know he's hoping I make my landing. I can smell the cold in the air as the heat blows through my nose. I can smell fear. My fear, and the fear of everyone in this competition. I can hear shouting for my name. I can hear my heart beating. It is getting faster and faster as the jump gets closer. I can hear my teammates shouting for me. It feels good. No it feels awesome to be here doing this, a sport I love. I can taste victory. It is my name on that gold medal.

Today we practised using our senses (see, hear, feel, touch and taste) to help us write a description of an image. We pretended to be the athlete in the image and wrote about what it might be like to be in the Pyeong Chang Olympics.

2 word one minute (equipment/respect)

This year the 2018 Winter Olympics  were held in South  Korea. Athletes

from lots of countries compete against each other to try to win the
gold medals. Lots of people from all over the world show respect and
support their country by watching the games on TV or on a computer.
This is why the motto of Pyeong Chang games was 'Passion... Connected'.
There are sport events like speed skating, ice skating and ski jumping.
The athletes bring their own equipment. Two New Zealander’s  won
medals. Everyone in NZ was proud of them.

Today we used the ‘2 words 1 minute’ challenge to write a description about the Winter Olympics.
After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the winter Olympics we created a list of words
(vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘equipment’ and ‘respect’ to
help us think about what we were going to write. We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had
1 minute to put those ideas into sentences,. We had to try our best to use all the words on our
vocab list. After the minute was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and
make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong
place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

Today I used lots of words from my word list .

I need to remember to use different words at the start of a sentence.

Professor Stephen Hawking

Sadly professor Stephen Hawking passed away last week. We have created this DLO to show who he was and why he was famous. In this task we focused on using our own words and attributing images
