Well-Built Sentences!

Task description.
Today I did a task about well-built sentences. We had to create some "fine" sentences for our blog viewers. On the third slide we had to create 6 sentences with major detail and make then outstandingly awesome! On the last slide I have to sort of make then better by adding adjectives, fixing the grammar and more!

Measurement

Task description.
Today I decided to try and do the work by myself, meaning I didn't go to the google meets! And I definitely regret it. This task was about guessing measurements and reading scales, as you can see in the WALT. On the first few slides we had to estimate the different units. Like the weigh, the height and the width. On the last side, we had to go on this site which helps us read scales properly. 
I had a lot of trouble with this slide because I didn't understand it at all. Until I used my brain properly and figured out what to do!

Breaking Flower and Something Alive Venn Diagram

Task description.

Today I was told to create something called a Venn Diagram with two articles. The two articles were called Brave Flower and Something Alive. We had to put the things that are similar to the other article. E.g Both of the articles have food in it so I have to put the word "food" in the middle.

Then we have to put the things that are not similar  under the article your talking about.
E.g #2  This book is talking about Ancient History, and the other book isn't so I have to put it in the circle under the book's name.
Hope you understand :)

Different Units!

Task description.
Today, on the google meets me and my class were told to do this task. This task was about learning different types of units. On our second slide we had to fill in the empty tables of each unit.
On our third slide we have to choose different units for different things. For example, a bucket of water. We could use litres for that.
On the last slide, we had to do the same thing but instead with times. Like baking a take could take hours. So you could put "hours" in the yellow box.
