SSR Selfie - Toad Delight | Daily 6

L.I: To summarise and retell some text.
This week I completed a SSR Selfie slide about my library book "Toad Delight" by Morris Gletzman. This is a funny like book, including crazy and wild events a crane toad deals with. He goes on exciting and also terrifying, unexpected events on his adventures but he can be a strong toad about it. This book interested me from on the shelves because of the eye catching cover and a different look about the book and the whole concept of it.

Basic Facts Boxes

L.I: To answer basic fact questions about simple subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division.
This week I decided to complete another 10 basic facts questions of the Basic Facts Boxes. The subtraction questions were each taking away 18 and the addition was by 14. The questions would either be correct to move on or wrong which we could try again. After completing them and answering the boxes, I'm at 60 questions completed to 100.

Basic Fact Boxes

L.I: To answer basic fact questions about simple subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division.
This week under Maths Daily 6, I completed some of the Basic Fact Boxes. I answered 4 sections of boxes under Addition and Subtraction. For this you have to solve the problem by reading the number in the top row, and then the adding or subtraction the number in the bottom row. You can choose how much questions there can be for the Facts. Either up to 5, 10, 20, or 100. There are 100 questions in total for me and so far I have answered 40 questions out of those 100. If you answered the question incorrect, the box would turn red and let you try again. If it was correct, it would turn green and you could move down the numbers. I am going to work my way until completing 100 to move onto my Timetables and Division.

SSR Selfie - The Best Worst Thing | Daily 6

L.I: To summarise and retell some text.
This week I completed a SSR Selfie slide about my book "The Best Worst Thing" as a Daily 6. This book was about Kathleen Lanes life and the unfortunate situations she has been through, like having a murderer on the loose in her area. She deals with her problems and attempts to over come them. Kathleen has to be brave and push through. I chose this book because it includes interesting events for me to read and I'm intrigued from each chapter to find out what will happen next.

Dance Mat Typing - Keyboarding | Daily 6

L.I: To learn touch typing.
Today for a Daily 6 on keyboarding, I completed stage 2 of level 2 on Dance Mat Typing called "W O". In this one, we learn the movement of typing "W and O" when our fingers are on the home row keys. To do this we use our finger on the S, to reach up and touch the near by W key. With the O key, we use our finger on the L key to move one key up to get it. We practised doing them by typing on our keyboard what was on the screen. The cans below showed how far we were into level. I think I need more practise but have gotten use to the home row keys and "T and Y".

Dance Mat Typing | Daily 6

L.I: To learn touch typing
This week for Daily 6 under keyboarding, I completed stage 1 called "T Y" of level 2 of Dance Mat Typing. I haven't been working on my keyboarding skills for a while so I have to get use to the finger placing of the keys again. In this level we learnt the finger placing for the keys T and Y. In this one the bottom row of things showed the lines typed and how far we are through. It began with warm up,  left hand, right hand, and both hands. We also re-capped a few of the finger placing and touching for the other keys in the last level. To press the T key, we use our left finger on the f, to just press it. To get the Y key, we used our right hand on the J and touch it.

Dance Mat Typing | Keyboard Skills (Daily 6)

L.I: To learn touch typing.
This week I did keyboarding as a Daily 6, and another stage of Dance Mat Typing which is also the last one. The stage was called r and u. In this one we learn the finger placing for R and U. We had to look at the eggs in the bottom row to see how far through we are. First we begin with our home row key finger placing by putting our fingers on F and J and lining the rest up. We had to follow what it needed use to type using the right finger placing. Then we practised doing the I and E too. Now for doing the R and U, we had to use the finger on F, to move to R and use the finger on J to hit the U key. I am still learning, but more practise, I might get somewhere.

Dance Mat Typing | Key Boarding - Daily 6

L.I: To learn touch typing.
This week for a Daily 6 keyboarding I completed stage 2 (e i) of Dance Mat Typing. In this stage, we learnt how we can type E and I when our fingers our placed on home row. For our left, our middle finger is D and also E, and on our right, our middle finger is K and I. This stage was a bit more easy because I was more familiar with the finger placing and I could move my fingers more faster. I would mess up sometimes and forget that I have to lift my finger up to touch the E or I but I am learning slowly. The shells on the bottom bar show us how far through we are the level. We had to watch the examples of where our hands go and follow the moves to type the words/letters on the screen.

Multiplication/Division | Daily 6

L.I: To memorise basic multiplication patterns.
Today I completed a level 1 stage of the multiplication/division daily 6 with the 5 times tables. I had to get my 1E5 Maths book and write the multiplications to 10. I did this 5 times. Then I add a row besides the multiplication of the divisions to the multiplication. I want to work my way to level 3 from starting a level 1. I knew the multiplications to the multiples at level 1 but I decided to write down my fives.

Dance Mat Typing | Daily 6 (Keyboarding)

L.I: To learn touch typing.

This week I played Dancing Mat for a Daily 6 on keyboarding. First I did the level 1 stage, home row. For this, it showed us where to put your fingers on the keyboard. We had to type the letters and symbols that it wanted us to type and other words that we could make with barley moving our hands around the keyboard. I struggled because I wasn't used to the finger placing of the game and so typing the words were a bit confusing and hard. In the end I was still able finish the level 1.

SSR Selfie

L.I: To summarise and retell some texts.
This week for a Daily 6 I decided to post SSR selfie. Anyone can do SSR selfie, you just need to create a new slide on the SSR selfie presentation and summarise what happened in your library book. This is to help you get better at summarising and retelling things. My book was - George's Marvellous Medicine. I wasn't able to fit the whole summary of the story in, because it would be to long. I finished this activity at home but I didn't take my book with my so I just a image from online which was the same book that I had.

Alphabet Handwriting - Aa

L.I: To develop neat handwriting.
This week, I decided to do handwriting for Daily 6. I used the Alphabet sheet. I started with the letter A and copied what was on the sheet, into my book. I wanted to do handwriting so that my writing can look much neater. For the beginning, I had do the lower case A, then capital A's, 3 lower case A's at a time, then 3 capital A's at a time, then capital and lower case. We also had to write words and sentences including the letter A.

SSR Selfie

L.I: To summarise and retell the text.
This week, for a daily 6 and also a must do, I do did SSR Selfie. For this daily 6 activity, you need to read a book (most likely to be your library book), then make create a new slide on the SSR Selfie Google presentation and summarise the book. You also need to take a selfie/picture of the book and insert it into the slide next to the text. I read the book Weirdo 7 Mega Weirdo by Anh Do. If you would like to know what happened in this book, read the text and hopefully it gives you a good idea of what went on in the book.

Key Board Drills

L.I: To learn touch typing.

Today for a Daily 6 I decided to do a writing one. I did my Key Board Drills again. For this Daily 6 task I made a copy of a google doc that was like the level 1 template but jut had different words and punctuation. This google doc was linked on the LS1 Daily 6 level 2 writing site. It had letters, words or/and punctuation in a colum then a blank colum below so we could copy it but using the correct fingers. 

Key Board Drills Level 1

'
L.I: To learn touch typing.
Today for a writing Daily 6 I decided to do my Key Board Drills. Since I did them all, I wanted to restart and do level 1 again. This task is to get me typing faster and have the ability to copy words, letters and different punctuation faster and use the proper fingers when doing that. For this Daily 6 task I made a copy of a google doc on our LS1 Daily 6 level 1 writing site. It had letters, words and punctuation on the first colum then a blank colum below it so we could copy what the writing had and use the correct fingers. I still find it quite hard so I think I do need more practise.

Key Board Drills Level 3

L.I: To learn touch typing.
This week for a daily 6 I did key board drills since I haven't done it in a long time. Key board drills helps you to learn how to type the right way or how to get you typing faster. To do this, we make a copy of a google doc which has a template. On the template there a a bunch of rows and in the first row, there would be a line of symbols and letters or just one of them, and then we have to try and copy that on the next row at the bottom of the top row but using the correct fingers. This time I did level 3. I still find it difficult so I think I will need much more practise.

Pixel Art

L.I: To develop artistic and find motor skills.
For a daily 6 I did Pixel art again because I find it really fun and you can be creative with it if you want. This time I drew a key using my pixel sheet of paper I got from in the class, my stationary pencil and ruler and I sometimes used my the rubber from my pencil. I found the image from online and copied it. I tried to make sure that it all fit on my page. The photo above is how my key pixel art turned out. I am very happy with it.

Reading Log

L.I: To summarise and retell some texts.
Today for a daily 6 I decided to do reading log so I could share my summary of I book I read. First I had to make a copy of the template before anything else. On the template I had to write the book title, date and of course, my summary of the book. I read the book - and you can find it on Raz Kids if you would like to read it yourself. If you want to find out what happens, read my summary. If you want to practise writing a summary of a book I recommend doing this activity because it is very helpful.
