Table mat

 Today I used skimming and scanning to record the idea's on a task which is called table mat information.

First, me and my group readed a book called New Zealand Filmmakers. It is about New Zealand Filmmakers and what movies have they created. So we used skimming and scanning on the fiction and non fiction books.  Skimming is kind of like an airplane. me and my group were reading down the page looking for keywords. Scanning is kind of like an helicoptor or a airplane, you can stop and hover by focusing on the piece of text.  

Next, we did the table mat activity. We had to find keywords and define 1 of them. we then switched chrome books with eachother and checked our work.

Finally me and my group did the what I would ask and the key questions. Key questions are like questions that author thought about before writing the book. 

me and my group enjoyed this activty because we used skimming and scaning to find imformation about a person I have never heard about.

Party Popper

My Gorup and I designed a party popper.

First I used all the parts which is I had to make a party popper, it ended very well when I put more details about the party popper.

Next I put all the parts of the party popper all together.

I used all the parts which are rubber band, string, paper cup, tooth pick, filling, and the nut and bolt for it together so it could make a party popper. really good cause of the part where i put all the parts together

To finish up, when I was done putting the parts all together to make a party popper, I had to take a picture of it when I was done.

For example, I used a camera to take a picture of it to put on my blog. It ended brilliantly and amazingly.

I learned a lot about how happy I was when I took a picture of the party popper so I could put it on my blog. I liked it when I put more information about the party popper and the parts i would do better on my party popper and the parts so i could tell more information about the party popper and the parts.

HPE

 Today me and Group A were working on a HPE activity.

First me and Group A were doing a activity called "Technique, and Balanced position", which Balanced position was like a person throwing something for you to get it, and Technique was like we had to focus on our balance.

Next we needed to go on our second activity called "Chase Frisbee", it was like you being a dog while the person throws the frisbee so you can catch it.

Then we needed to do our third activity called "Catching on the run", it was like a person throwing the frisbee at you until you get it, which means when you catch it you dont need to move or take a step.

After that we needed to do our fourth activity called "Catch the target" (I guessed the name), its like we had to make lines to going separted to get in lines, so then when the person with the frisbee throwed it we had to catch it on the spot that you landed so you can throw it into the right target.

Finally we needed to do our fifth activity called "Ultimate Frisbee", its like we needed to get chosen into 2 groups called "Non Bib Team" and "Bib Team" which then you need to have two frisbee's each other team so then the 2 teams can try and score for at the other score for the person's team.

Then we needed to put them in place for what the maori names actually are, which we put them into a 15x15 columns.

After that we needed to make our own names with the names and the maori names, which my ones were "Abraham Nicholas, Jane Jim, which in Maori are

Finally we needed to change our names from english to maori which Whae Odie says that "S,Z,J -= H, V = W, L = R"so then my name says "Hemi".

Then I needed to bounce the tennis ball with the tennis racket without going to move your legs, and then my teacher said to get a partner so I could get use to this with someone that is a expert.

`After when I were done with the bounce activity, my teacher said to get a partner with one tennis ball and the other person has to have one tennis racket, so then me and my partner needed to go back from each other.

Finally when I was doing my two last activitys, I needed to go and bounce the ball to my partner so he could hit the tennis ball with a tennis racket until we swap positions,

the second activity was difficult because we needed to go in a line so we can hit the the ball because my volunteer which is joe needed to throw it while I hit it everytime when its my turn.

Maori

 Today I worked on a maori learning with "Whae Odie".

First Whae Odie told us that I needed to go on the moari section and make a copy of it and to put it on the literacy folder.

Finally when we were done we had to memorize the words in maori which was "Below, between, right, and left.

HPE and Balancing

Today I learnt how to balance with equipment.

I started at the tennis station, it was hard cause we had to balance with one leg while hitting the ball with the tennis racket.

Next is that we had to go to the second station which was the spoon and egg, it was kind of hard on putting our leg into straighting it up while putting the egg and spoon down to a lower level.

Then we hads to go to our third station which is the hokey sticks with the balls, it was hard cause every time we switched to the person who rolls the ball or the person who hits the ball with the hokey sticks.

After that we went to go on the fourth station which was the "Soccer ball", it was really hard cause we had to put it on our fore head.

 

Finally is that we had to go to our fifth station which was the volly ball, it was kind of easy cause we had to set the ball to the other person to dig it to you.

I am really happy that I know how to balance while holding objects/equipment.

Main ideas

This book called "Bright Fine Gold"  is very interesing which there was a person called Gabriel read that was the first person to find gold in the central otago so then he mad a valley called Gabriel gully in the book.

Calendars

Calendars shows us the day, week or month.

There are 12 moths in the year, they are: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

Months have 28, 30 or 31 days. 

There are number patterns on the calendar by looking for four connecting days for example 20, 60 and 100.

HPE

 Today Group A have worked on our balancing.

First is that we learnt what we had to do which is that we needed to go into group of 4/5 people just to use two of the HPE equipment. ("The equipment was the frisbee, rugby balls, basketballs, hokey sticks and balls, and a bounce ball")

Next is that we had to balance with one foot while we were throwing the ball which is the equipment to each other.

Then after each and every 5 minutes we have to go to every station to use every equipment.

After when we were nearly done which it took 20 minutes we had been told from our teacher to make a blog about the reveal,event, make a recount.

Finally when we were done with every station we were swapped with Group B while we had to do our work.

Maori

First is that we had been told of what we had to do, which is that we needed to use our chromebook to make a google drawing and go on our LS1 site to go on our maori learning.

Next is that we have been reminded that we can use the moari dictionary for the maori learning.

Then we had to make our own google drawing and we had to use images of a fridge, oven, cereal, pot, microwave, sink, plate, knife, fork, and spoon which was really hard cause i needed to use a title too.

After that is that we have been reminded again which was that we had to been in groups of learning on how to speak in maori, which is that we had to speak maori and we saw that Whae Odie passed us some pictures.

Finally is that we were done but now we had to blog it.

Cause and Effect

 A cause and effect means what happened and why it happened. A cause is the past that happened now and a effect is something that will happen in the future that will make sence with the cause. 

Explain that idiom

A idiom is a phrase that has a different meaning from the words used. For example someone said that he is in a performcane and I said break a leg which means good luck.

Problem Solving

 Today me and my teacher's class has worked on a document called "Problem Solving".

First is that our teacher told us what number we are, which I was number 4. And we had to get a white board, marker, and a chromebook

Next is that we were done finding our groups ("our members of the group was Xavier, Ahli, Bella, and Mellisa") until we had to read 6 long sentence's to just understand.("The sentence's were including everyone to found out what the answers were").

Then when we were trying to find out what the answers were, I was actually surprised that our group answerd 5/6 of the sentence's.

After that we were on the last sentence, but I was kind of shy for us to answer.

Finally we actually answerd until we actually got the sentence right.

Reflection: I AM SO SO HAPPY THAT WE HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE DONE.

Analog Clock

 Today I have worked on apart of my work called "Analog Clock".

First is that my teacher made a document for me and the class to make a copy on it for us.

Next is that we had to use the analog clock and take a screenshot on it to put in the text box. ("Sorry that there is 5/6 different clock")

Then I typed in the other text boxes with the pictures to tell how many minutes they're is.

Finally that i was done with the document called Analog Clock.

Reflection: I AM THE HAPPEIST PERSON IN THE WORLD.

The three simple machines

 There are three similar simple machines. They are the lever, the inclined plane, and the wedge.

First is that I have been working on three documents for the three simple machines.

Next when I was started on my three document, and i even used the pictures from the LS1 media.

Then when I was workng on the three documents I was kind of struggling cause of the typing.

Finally when I was done i had to blog it for the three similar simple machines.

Block twister

 Today me and my teacher's class was playing a activity which is called block twister and its about HPE.

First we had to be a semi circle for us to play.

Next our teacher showed us a example of how to play with two men's.

Then when they were done we started on playing for real. It was very funny that i felt like i was gonna fall.

After that it probably took me 30 minutes to keep my balance still.

Finally we had to finally do a blog about the activity called block twister.

Reflection: That was so fun that it felt like it took the game probably 50/30 minutes for the game to end.

Keywords

 Today i learnt what keywords are.

First is that keywords have a secret meaning.

Next is that the keyword you have could be interseting.

Then my teacher told us that he made a document about keywords and then put a link in it.

After that i was already half done on my work, but there was one thing, it was that people like me were struggling at the start of the document.

Finally when i was done our teacher even did 4/5 lnks on his document which one of the links were called practice, explain which was very interesting about that.

The next different thing about this is that we had to predict which is that we had to think of what the people were doing in the book.

Then we had to make a blog about prediction, so then we had to make a title, events, and a reflection.

 Finally when i was done i was thinking about what i have done, im thinking that i have done amazing work.

AFL Training Week 2

 Group A  did skills from Coach Becs.

The first skill we did was shown how to do handball (hit the ball). We had to put your dominant hand into a fist and the other hand into a dinner plate. We had to hit the ball at the X from the dinner plate. We hit the ball to our partners.

The second skill was how to do a drop pot (kick). We had to face the lace from your face and the two X's to face the sky and the ground then we have to make an M on the ball. We kicked the ball to our partners.

Next, we used the handball skill to play octopus. We had fun playing octopus but it was tiring.

Then we played kick the ball with our teachers and the coach. We missed the teachers and the coach but I decided to join the teachers and the coach. Group B tried their best to hit us but they only got Mr. Ogilive two times.

I had fun playing AFL (Australian Football League) I want to play this again, I really need to practice handball and drop pot

  

 

SSR Selfie

 Today I did a document on my learning. My teacher said I could blog about my SSR Selfie to show how good my reading is. I was reading a book called Ninja kids 5. It was really interesting that I liked it when I read it. This is a picture of me with my book that I like to read. The names of the characters in the book are Nelson Kane, mum, grandma, and cousin Kenny. The three interesting words that I chose from the book are hardcore, obstacle, and course. 

Marc Duffy

 Today, I went to an assembly.

The assembly was with special guests and was about reading.

The two guests was Marc and a girl.

 Marc is a role model and he is really in reading and writing.

 Marc told us a story about a boy named frank.

 Frank had a hard life at school. He got bullied many times at school.

 So then Frank's mom talked about it with the principal.

 After the talk about the bully's his mom told frank that he will go to another school cause the principal was talking to the bully's parents so then,he got bullied again until his mom took him to other schools cause of the bully's at the school's that frank's mom brang him to.

Then after months later he got arrested into prison but suddendly he learnt how to read in prison,and he got a certificate from his old school when he was a kid so then his life went a little bit better when he's in prison before he was at school,when he was a kid his life was terrible,now when hes in prison he would actually remember who he is when he grows up.

Basic Facts Boxes

 Today I did basic facts for my learning so then my teacher was thinking that I could blog so then I did. It was a great idea cause of my maths and my strategy. It makes your maths better and your strategy better. So today I got 100/100 on my basic facts boxes so I was thinking that I could go on an extremely harder level so then I hope I get better on any harder level.

Teamwork

Communication is when people share information with each other. In dodgeball, an example of communication is talking to your teammates about different moves. 

Cooperation is when a group works hard to achieve their goal. Cooperation means that someone wants to achieve their first goal in a dodge ball game.

Collaboration is when a group works really hard for your family or something to earn what they really wanted. Collaboration means when a group is working really hard to achieve a trophy in a dodge ball game.

(This is a video shows the mechanisms of collaboration)

(This is a video shows the mechanism of cooperation)

 (This is a video shows the mechanism of communication)

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to be implemented throughout the activity.

Making Connection

Making connections when a reading helps us understand what we are reading. There are three different types of connections. They are text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to text is talking about something that links to yourself. For example, The duck shared food with the villagers. The duck did the right thing as it was the villagers’ food. My connection is: I have food that I share with my neighbour's It connects because they both use food and interesting characters that use items.

Text to text is talking about something that links to another text in a book. For example, The duck told the highway rat to think there was food at the top of an echoey cave. The duck was trying to not get eaten by the rat. My connection is that the rat wants all the treats from the duck's sister. It connects because they both use deception.

Text to the world is talking about something that connects to the real world. For example, The duck tried to defend herself from the rat. The duck tried to take her cupcake back from the rat. My connection is sometimes I cry cause I never see my treats again but sometimes I'm just too smart and clever to unsmart them into getting my treats back. It connects because they both use fearlessness. Fearless means you not scared of anyone or anything.

Fact or Opinion / The Duck

I did a task about a duck in a story called The Highway Rat. 

First I watched a movie to know what the story is about. 

Next, I needed to write some facts about what happened in the story.

Then I wrote the opinions of how the duck thought in the story of what happened in the story.

After that, we needed to write 5 big words like respectful,expert,kind,intelligence,generous to describe the character traits from our opinions.

Finally that I was done doing my fact or opinion task, I was thinking that it was easy for me.

Multiplication and Times Table

Me and my group were doing multiplication and times tables

 Multiplication is a faster way of adding the same numbers many times. 

I've learned many other equations like 7x5 means, 7 groups of 5 things, 4x5 means 4 groups of 5 things and 11x2 means 11groups of 2 things.

It is a better way and a faster way of using multiplication than addition.

Visualisation - Highway Rat

Visualization is creating pictures in your

head. This helps us understand what we read.

Highway Rat is about a Rat who is greedy and

Steals everyone's food. He learns a lesson and everyone lives happily.

My visualization is different from others because it would be interesting for people.

We have different Visualisation because it is very bad to not copy other's drawings or writings.

Place Value & Saying Numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group them within the same base. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds, & nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers correctly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting. 

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for a welcoming, introductions, and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects of the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used. 

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tipuna (ancestral place), and where you live is important for the audience to understand the positions of the Speaker. 

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

Being respectful of the land, the people, and the purpose of a visit will ensure long-lasting relationships and connections.
