Food Saftey Guide

For inquiry we learned about the food saftey guide. The food saftey guide is a guide that tells us if the food is safe to eat. There are 4 different types of instructions to follow to not get this microbe called camplyobacter, it is called clean, separate, cook and chill.

First I did a slide called food saftey guide and filled in the boxes with the information I know about that topic. I did a glossary of six words that was related to the topic and wrote what the topic meant. The topic all have to do with food saftey so It was kind of challenging.

Next I made a DLO. I made four characters that relate to food saftey and wrote why it is important to clean, separate, cook and chill.

Lastly I played this game called legends of learning that talks about the food saftey.

I enjoyed doing this task. What I did well was make the DLO. I need to improve on legends of learning.

Complex Sentences and Clauses

For writing we learned about complex sentences. To see if you have a complex sentence you need to see if it has a independant clause. An independant clause is a phrase that can stand by itself which means it does not need any more words for it to make sense but if it does not make sense then that means it is called a dependent clause which means it is the additional words to a independant clause.

First I answered some questions. There was a complex sentence and I had to figure out which is the independant clause and which is the dependent clause.

Next I did the same thing but I made my own sentences then labeled which clause was which.

Lastly I made a DLO and played a learning game called Literacy Planet.

I enjoyed doing this task. What I did well was do the DLO. I need to improve on spelling.

Victoria Cross

For reading we learned about the Victoria Cross. The Victoria Cross is awarded  to people who show bravery in the army and only 21 people In New Zealand get this badge. The recent one to get it is Willie Apiata, The best one to get this badge is Charles Upham because he got two Victoria Crosses and only three people around the world have the Victoria cross 2 times.

 I made a profile on a person who got the Victoria Cross and I chose Richard Travis. I made a presentation explaining how he got the Victoria Cross and he got it for destroying an impassable wire obstacle which can kill you in one shock. He also captured two enemy machine guns and single handedly fought an enemy attempt to retake them.

The most famous one to get two Victoria Cross is Charles Upham. He got one badge for walking across a field and they walked for over 7,00 yards long. Charles Upham saw enemies with guns and started shooting but that did not stop him. Still ran when the enemies were shooting but he got shot in the shoulder and the hip and still did not stop him. That was when he got his first award but his second award was shooting enemys on a hill and taking the enemies spot and he was shooting for about two days but he past away on that hill and the other Victoria Cross was sent to his parents.

I enjoyed doing this task. What I did well was do the presentation . I need to improve on putting capital letters.
