Walt: Follow an inquiry process.
This term as we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we learnt in term 2. We brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Holly and I were finding out more about was the different ways of transport. We found most of our information from on the internet. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used Movie Maker to present our inquiry. Something I enjoyed was the filming because it was alot of fun but also took alot of pererverance. An interesting fact I found out was that trains are the most used transport in China and that they are not like trains here in New Zealand because they have speed trains. My next learning step in inquiry is to find out all my information alot faster and maybe to make the movie not so silly and with some more clearer information and more information by itself because some people might not get the way that we have presented it which means they wouldn't have gotten the main fact.

Walt: Write a recount using descriptive laungue.
This is my Scrapblog that I made. I made it on my recount of the October holidays, It is about playing Blindmans Bluff. I used Scrapblog to make it.
To make one I had to first write my recount and then make a Scrapblog account. After that I started on making one. I got to create the whole thing from a blank page, if you wanted to you could also choose a theme. I choose the background, stickers on it and I typed in the text from my writing book.
