Teacher Tools Voiceover

Mr Mc's project

Here are my thoughts about Mr Mc’s project: 

I really like maths clock because I always got confused with time but now I understand time.

I don’t really like number pieces because it didn’t really help me with my fractions but now I understand it because of ‘Teacher Tools’.

I also love the number line because it is a lot efficient way of working out word problems.

Overall I think that the maths learning centre is an amazing app for children to improve their maths. 

Buddy comment: I Aisha have read your thoughts and I love the vocab you used.

My Spectacular Holiday!!!

Friday the 30th of September was the last day of school. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t need a holiday after 10 exhausting weeks of term 3? A freak wouldn’t want a break!!! I mean an unusual person who loves studying would hate holidays unless they study during it?”Just get on with the story!” {That person who screamed is a person from the audience who is one of my fans because I’m famous...JK}.

On the first week on Wednesday, we had production practices at 10:00am. To start of the practices we played a game {I have no idea what it’s called}.

So we had to stand in a circle with our heads down and when we looked up we were not allowed to look at the person who looked at us. If we did we had to sit down. After production, I went home and ate some Nachos.

The next Wednesday after production I went to the hospital to see my cousin. She has a VR {Virtual Reality} and you can go on roller coasters, watch Netflix, play basketball etc.

On Friday I had a baking class at the Chelsea Sugar factory. We had to get partnered up and I was with this girl named Sera. We made cookies and cupcakes. My family thought my baking was delicious.

I like how you used a personal voice. Advika

Sentence Starter by-Sanah,Angelina and Karlos

Sentence Starter

If I were a teacher I would…Let my students play games all day and let them bring any gadgets they want.

If they had a pet I would let them bring it to school but they had to get their parents permission first.

I would let them wear mufti to school every day but there is one condition with the pets, they have to clean their doo-doo(poop).

I would let them do arts and crafts all day. If they wanted to have the teachers amazingly delicious JUNK food, then it would be a “yes” from me. 

I would let them sleep if they wanted and let them have as many cushions as they want.

There is only one Golden Rule, THEY MUST HAVE FUN!!!

Area and Perimeter

Throughout term 3 (This term) we had gymnastics. In the first 2 weeks, we had Biran, and for the rest of the weeks we had Sasha

My favourite lesson was contortion because we had to try and make shapes with our bodies. Biran and I demonstrated how to make the shapes, and then after that, I had to do it with Advika.

The first week, when we had Sasha, was super duper fun because we did rhythmic gymnastics.

Rhythmic gymnastics is where there are ribbons, balls, clubs and hoola hoops.

With the ribbons, we were allowed to make a routine, with the clubs we had to hold to of them in, throw them in the air and catch them at the same time. With the balls, we had to 

In the air and see how many times we could clap and with the hoola hoops, we had to see how many times we could circle it around our hips.

This was the best gymnastics in school. I can’t wait until next week! Hang on a minute, I have x-country zones on the same day as gymnastics...I’LL MISS OUT ON THE LAST WEEK!!!

Golden time group number pieces

Climate change

Do you know what climate change is? Well let me tell you about what it is.

Climate change is when the earth gets hotter and the earth changes. One of the reasons the earth is changing is because of natural resources, and it is caused by volcanic eruptions, changes in the sun’s energy and changes in the earth's orbit.

Greenhouse gasses also make the earth warmer they can also attract heat from the sun. The greenhouse gasses are like a blanket covering our earth.

Climate change is also caused by humans, this is because we burn coal to make electricity, we build lots of building,we burn oil to make our vehicles move and lastly we cut down lots of trees. 

Do you remember the blanket over the earth? Well because of us it gets thicker and thicker, but if we don’t pollute the earth than the earth's blanket will go back to normal.

Know that you know what climate change is, I think we all should make a difference.

I like how you used paragraphs improve your writing you should add more detail. Advika

Why stars twinkle

Have you ever wondered why stars twinkle? Well I know I have.

They actually don’t twinkle it’s just the atmosphere. If you see a star that’s not twinkling then it’s probably a planet.

Planets don’t twinkle because the gleam of the stars bounces of the planets to make them shimmer.

Stars don’t twinkle in outer space because they are out of the atmosphere. There is also a telescope just above the earth that proves this.

Now you know that stars don’t twinkle it’s just an optical illusion.

What if poem

What if...What if...What if…

Oh, how things would be so different.

What if your poop came out like goop.

What if the zoo turned into a loo.

What if Mrs Tolly transformed into a Lollie.

What is Charlie turned into a pink barbie.

What if Zara turned into a barber.

What if a hat turned into a bat.

What if a bat turned into a cat.

What if a cat turned into a mat.

What if a mat turned very fat.

What if...What if... What if...

Oh, how things would be so different.

I Shreya have read your writing and I like the way you used weird types of humour and words.

Category	Main Points	Self Assessment
		Low                                         High
		1           2 3           4 5
Structure	My speech was organized logically into paragraphs, with an effective introduction and a conclusion.	I think I would give my structure a 5 because I think it was done properly.
Delivery	I used some gestures, stood still and made eye contact with my audience. My voice was clear and loud.  I didn’t speak too quickly or too slowly.	For this one, I think I would give myself a 4 and a half because I spoke clearly.
Content	My speech had a message and was original, interesting and relevant to the audience.	I think I would give myself a 5 for this one because I think it has a good message.
Language	I used ‘powerful’ words in my speech.  I also included some language features (eg repetition, alliteration, similes, etc)	I give myself a four because I didn’t use similes
Time	My speech was between 2 ½ and 3 ½ minutes long.	I am going to give myself a 5 because my speech was 3 minutes and 12 seconds long and was in the time limit.

Next time I need to  Memorize it more

Teacher Comment Liked your audience participation when you asked them “hands up those who are guilty of having long showers”. This made me feel guilty, which is good.

• Good humor, especially your rendition of Ariana Grande.
• An important message was delivered with confidence.
