Rhyming Challenge

 Today in our Google Meet we worked together to complete one of the reading challenges. We made lists of the words that rhyme with Bright, Ball and Send. We thought of 15 words, but some other students went away and thought of even more words. How many can you get?

Inferring with Receipts - Distance Learning

 One of the reading activities this week was for students to use their inferring skills to interpret receipts and answer questions. Here is a copy of the activity. 


Part of the activity is for students to make their own receipts. 

Can you use your inferring skills to answer these questions made by students?


(1) What is this person getting ready for?              (2) Whose receipt is this?

    

(3) What is this person doing?                     (4) Where is this person going?
   

(5) What time of day is it?                (6) Who is this person buying this stuff for?

   

(7) What is this person getting ready for?         (8) What is this person making?
 

(9) Where is this person going?   (10) What is this person getting ready for?


Add a comment with your answers. How many can you get right?

In the plane people walking past gives you lollys so your ears don't pop And if they're nice they will give you more lolls  And the lollies are really nice.  And you can  lolly for a long time.  Then the speakers will going on because these turbulence When turbulence happens you have to sit in your seat .

If you picked the ocean you were right i felt really good after that then me and danton and my little brother and my big sister played on the playground then we got into are togs and headed to the beach and i thought the water was going to be cold but to my surprise it was warm so me and danton and my little brother played water fight danton managed to get me down luckily i had goggles because the water is salty a few hours later we saw a rope near the rock so i created a jump thing so you would have to go on the rock and get the rope and swing then jump it was really fun but i was getting tired same as danton so me and danton changed out of our togs and into our clothes and we went to the lake and relax we sat on the sand and put our feet in the water then i said to danton that i was going to get us juice but little did danton know i wasn’t getting us juice i was going to jump into the lake and wet him but mostly me cuz i will get wet but it's okay so i get ready i count to three and run i swish through the wind then splash danton gets wet.The end
