Learning Hebrew

The small letters under the big letters are the
formal way to write it.

You may be thinking that I'm having a really cruisy, easy holiday. Well you're probably right, but I also have to learn how to read and write in hebrew. Nearly every day after we have lunch, but before we have a schnutz, our dad teaches us for half and hour how to read and write. But It feels much harder to read and write in hebrew than in english. There are two different styles, cursive is the handwritten form, and  formal is the printed style like books, newspapers, ads, and posters. Right now I know the whole alphabet of by heart and can read up to lammed which is the 12th letter in the hebrew alphabet. There's also 5 letters that are spelt differently at the end of a sentence which I haven't learnt yet. To help me I installed a game that's really helpful and my mum likes it so she uses it. You write from right to left and  It's like reading a book from back to front.

Shais Reflection

This week our class made a google drawing about our learning and were we think we are in our learning. We got to pick out of Guided learner, Self Managing, Self Directed, or Independent. I chose Self directed which is the 3rd one because, well, you'll find out soon. And by soon I meen right now on my google drawing. I hope you enjoy!

Slow Write

This week, our class made a slow write. I didn't know what a slow write was at first but when someone
explains it it's really fun. It's just when your teacher or someone writes some instructions

and you follow them and write a story about it

Slow Writing Prompt

Sentence 1:  Start with the word ‘although’

Sentence 2:  Must have 3 adjectives in a list

Sentence 3:  This sentence must focus on the sense of smell/taste/touch or hearing

Sentence 4:  Must be 12 words long.

Sentence 5:  Must start with an adverb.

Sentence 6:  This sentence must contain a question mark

Sentence 7:  This sentence must have a list with 3 commas

Sentence 8:  This sentence must end with a sound word (onomatopoeia) and an

      exclamation mark.

Here's my slow write.

Although I was scared, I peek under my bed. And there, standing before me was the biggest, ugliest,

hairiest, spider I have ever seen. I feel the spider crawl onto my arm.

I stay as still as I can, the spider stops mid-path.

Gently, I pick the spider up and as soon as I did, I regretted it. Am I going to die? I think. The spider

spits green, gooey, acidic, acid all over my clothes. Aaaaagh!!!

Dog Man - Reading Wheel

This week (and last week) we have been making reading wheels. We had to use our math skills of rotation to find out that 360 (1 full rotation) divided by 6 is 6 portions of 60 degrees each. Then we had to use a protractor to measure exactly 6 60 degree portions onto our reading wheel. I've been reading Dog Man by Dav Pilkey. On sector 1, 3, and 5 we used illustrations about our book. On sector 2, 4, and 6 we wrote about our book. After all of that we had to make a cover for our reading wheel. Did you now that half of 360 degrees = 180 degrees, half of 180 degrees is 90 degrees, and half of 90 degrees is 45 degrees. If you don't understand the picture at the bottom then I'll tell you now.
Radius: The radius is a straight line coming from one side of the circle to the centre of the circle.
Diameter: The diameter is 2 radies, or any straight line coming through the centre of the circle and touches both sides.
