Space Race - Week 1.

WALT -  Justify by selecting the evidence across a range of texts to demonstrate what I understand of the 'Space Race' and it's purpose.SUCCESS CRITERIA:  I will identify in my letter to opposition team their accomplishment by way of what I understand from text set.

This week's learning intention was "The space race." Studying about why and how the competition started in the first place, We answered question that we were given and had to study to have evidence for our answer.

Immersion Assembly - Guardians of the Galaxy!

 WALT -  I will identify the different places speeches/talks are given and how they are designed for delivery

Protecting and helping the earth improve in a better kind. Finding out new and interesting information of what it’s like above us way high, What’s beyond the clouds we see almost every day? Exactly why Pt England school is studying about it. Each team has a different learning intention, we all shared what we’re learning towards at Monday's Immersion Assembly.

Guardians of the galaxy it is!

What am I looking forward to this terms topic?

Towards this terms topic I’m looking forward on answering the questions I have in mind, The different features in space. Exactly why and how is the oxygen in space different to planet earth? Well hopefully at the end of term 3 I have the answer to that.

Most Informative performance.

From my perspective Team 4 had a really informative short clip that was presented, It had a lot of detail of what they're learning about this term. Since earth is slowly dying, What’s another planet to keep us humans still standing? Well 3 teachers of Team 4 attempted to travel to 3 different planets to see if it was possible to breathe and live on different land. Sadly all 3 attempts failed. So, basically their learning about survival on different planets, if we could adapt to it or not and the big Mars mission!

Most Entertaining performance.

Of course, Team 5 was the most entertaining performance of the day. The reason why because it had a lot more enthusiasm as they were the only team that did a Live performance. 4 teachers of team 5 holding musical instruments surrounding the lead singer Mrs Judd. They also had a lot of information in their song that they presented but some parts of the song I couldn’t hear due to Mrs Judd singing fast.

Language Features!

WALT -  develop our knowledge on figurative language and understand their use within a text

Over the past two weeks we've been learning about Language Features! How it could be connected to a poem and so much more, We learnt the definitions of words, language features and poems. What's the story behind the poems? It all links up to the words the author uses in the poem. We had three texts to finish of this weeks learning intention. We developed our knowledge on figurative language and understand their use within the three texts we were give.
