Week 7 Term4

10 weeks have passed since when we started working with Mrs M about our thinking about our learning and talking about thinking and reflecting on our thinking.

When I startedtalking and thinking about my own learning this is what I thought it was...

Learning is something that anybody can do.
When people learn they get more knowledge.

How useful has learning about Solo Taxonomy been been to you in giving you some structure for thinking learning about your learning?

Solo Taxonomy has been very useful in helping us improve our learning.
If we never relised that we could use we would not have known how to improve in our learning.
Solo Taxonomy allows us to develop certain skills such as being able to do the next step in learning which would be useful in life.
We used a ruberic to move up to the next step in thinking by redoing our work and improving on
it to develope our thinking to a higher level.

I am glad...

*that mrs M has taught us about solo taxonomy
*When I use solo taxonomy to improve in my work I try and think of a better sentence to be the best I can be

Using solo taxonomy we have been learning to predict.
Predicting is a very important life skill. We are using solo taxonomy in subjects like science and writing.
Predicting is a kind of thinking.
When you predict it is like you can see the result of something that is happening at the present time. You are thinking what is the conclusion if whatever is going on keeps going on, or if you stop it happening, what will be the result?
On Monday I did a class investigation on favourite cities out of the four cities out of Madrid, Moscow, Buenos Aires and Baghdad.
I predicted that the most popular city would be Moscow.
The final resuls showed:
Moscow with 18 tallies
Buenos Aires with 3 tallies
Madrid with 3 tallies
Baghdad with 1 tally
My prediction was right!
It was a fun activity.
