Unit of Inquiry Reflection
Task: Group research on "Rainforest of the world".
Just now in unit of inquiry, I learned more about the climate of tropical rainforest, like there are two kinds of seasons, they are dry and wet seasons. We were grouped by our expert topic like climate of the rainforest make a group, etc. We were grouped like that because we will discuss it with others. We also wrote the questions about the terrarium but its group by the group of the terrarium. We build questions like, how can we water the plant if it is covered by the plastic, etc.

Today in English, we continued our narrative story with our buddies. Then Mr. Perico read some narrative story from others. I learned that we shouldn't be in a rush because our story will be very bad.

Learning Journal in Math
Last week in maths, I learned some new shapes like, Trapezium, Equilateral triangle, etc. Trapezium has a parallel line and one of the horizontal line must be longer than the other. Rhombus is a square that is italic, there are 2 parallel lines, 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles, the measurements must be the same and the opposite angle must be the same. Parallelogram is the same as rhombus but its a rectangle that is italic. Equilateral triangle is a triangle that has the same measurements and all the angles are the same. Isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two same side that has the same measurements and has two same angles and an acute angle on the top. Right angled-triangle is a triangle that has a right angle.

Learning Journal in English
Last week in English, Our information is about storms and theres so many kinds of it like; hailstorm, firestorm, sea storm, etc. we continued our draft. After we are done with the draft, so we called on Mrs Yolanda to edit our work, and gave feedbacks. Then, we revised the things that has errors on it. My group just have errors in introduction and conclusion. Except for the causes and effects. After that we published our work on Microsoft Publisher and we tried to finish it but we can't finish it because its time. So we share our information and we also borrowed book s about our topic.

Learning Journal in Unit of Inquiry
Last week in unit of Inquiry, we went to MataKucing and we found out more about rain forest. Matakucing is a forest that is safe and I found out some foods that the animals eats like parrots eat nuts, monkey eat chip, etc. We also watched "Tarzan 2" and we gather some information there. I love to know people live in the forest, names of trees, plants and animals there and I also want to know how people get foods there.

UOI Time
Today in UOI, I learned about tropical rain forest. Tropicaol rain forest is the rain forest near the equator. Its threated by people. It used 100 to 400 inches of rain a year, etc.The way the powerpoint explained is very clear and Mr. Perico got it from a school. I showed respect there and appreciation and I also like the way explained.
