Amazon Rainforest

In Room 1 we have been reading about the Amazon Rainforest wildfires. We did a google drawing on the Amazon Rainforest fires. I enjoyed making the google drawing. I found it challenging to put it on my blog If I did it again I would do it on a google slide to animate it so the fires chasing the animals.

Caged chickens should be banned

In Room 1 we have been learning how to structure. We were writing about children under 12 should be allowed a phone and this time we wrote about caged chickens. Our success criteria was Write a title that tells the reader about the issue being argued, use a rhetorical question, write an introduction that includes my three main points, organise my ideas into paragraphs, make sure each paragraph has a main point and two examples, write a conclusion that includes my three main points, edit for spelling and punctuation and present my work to a pair for assessment. Here is my one.

Would you like to be a caged chicken? Of course not. That's why  I firmly believe that caged chickens should be banned. 

One of the main reasons why chickens shouldn't be caged is that they get squashed there are 82% chickens caged out of 2.3 million. Each hen has a space of an A4 piece of paper. In one shed of chickens there are 4.5,000 caged. 

My second name point is that they get diseases. They get fatty liver disease. They get rickets / no vitamin D. They also get osteoporosis. 

My third name point is that they can't act  natural they can't stretch for food they can't have a dust bath. they can't perch. They can't flap their wings will stretch their legs. They can't fly. They can't build a nest. They can't peck. They can even end up dying at 18 months old.

In conclusion I believe that caged chickens should be banned. Because they get diseases, they can't act natural and they get squashed. 

Interdependence

Today in Rm 1 we have been learning about Interdependence. I enjoyed making the google drawing. I found it challenging to get the right screencastify. My digital learning object shows I can use google drawing and screencastify to explain Interdependence. Next time I would change what I was describing because I found other animals I could have written about.

Tom Fedro

In Room 1 we have been doing art like Tom Fedro. Tom Fedro is an artist in Chicago. I enjoyed making new colours by mixing but I found it difficult to blend the colours. Our success criteria was to use both sides of the paintbrush, to use bright colours, to use bold lines and to use tints and shades to show light direction. I have put an image of what my Tom Fedro art looks like.

Action Selfie

On Wednesday Mrs Torrie came in to my class and we did action selfies. I found it enjoyable to choose my background but I found it difficult to pose.
