The book of the bug

Kia ora bloggers,

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adult's intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next, we got to choose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Our create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Adobe spark and it was about a book called ‘Cicadas’

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realise how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding?

Aside please feel free to comment on any mistakes I may have made bye.

The beaded binary

Hello bloggers. After tech, we had to make our initials into a bracelet or a key chain using binary.

We had to make our first name and last name letters into ASCII. Which we then chose what colored beads and choose what colors the ones would be and the zeros. I have done my K for my first name and a P for my last name. I found it really confusing and would have needed help but I managed. Do you what your initials are in binary? Anyway please comment on any mistakes I may have made.
