Brainstorming

 LS1 and I learnt about persuasive writing

First I watched 2 videos of persuasive writing we created a poster of how to convince people then i watched a video about how to brainstorm

Next I wrote what I wanted to convince people to do. I also wrote what the world needs to do and the school.

In the end I analyzed the ideas by doing a traffic light system. Green meant to go with the idea, red meant to not try to convince people you want to do it and yellow meant you have to think more about it.

I enjoyed it because I got to know what people want for themselves and others.

Mars vs the Utah desert

First we read the first part of the text called Harintina Mogosanu Starryteller.

Next we talked about the similarities and diffrences about Mars and the Utah desert.

Then we wrote a venn diagram about Mars and the Utah desert.

I engoyed this task because I learnt some new stuff about mars and the utah desert.

Olympics

We wrote about similarites and differences between our school and the modern olympics.

First we wrote the olympics motto, the olympics creed, and the olympic values. Then we wrote our schools motto, Whakatauki, and our values.

Next we wrote about the similarites and diffreces about the olympic creed, the olympic values, the olympic logo and the olympic motto compered to our school moto, our Whakatauki, our values, and our logo.

Lastly I created my own logo and a mottoI put in what I like to do and my motto was to always be yourself.

Balancing -Teamwork

We learnt how to balance when catching and throwing frisbees then we practiced our teamwork.

We practiced our balancing by catching frisbees and also by throwing them.

Then we practiced our teamwork by playing a game where you pass the frisbee to each other and tried throwing it in the net. We jumped so we could stop and face towords the side so we could get a good posistion to throw the frisbee into the net.

Then we had to chase the frisbee before it touched the ground and stop moving when you catch the frisbee.

I need to inprove on my stopping and balancing becuase when I was catching the frisbee I couldn't stop moving.

Maori questions

For maori we wrote questions of where food is supposed to go for example kei hea te.../where is the. 

Then we answered the questions useing roto runga and waho .

Next we put pictures onto a slide to tell where food goes for example banana/ panana, frezzer/ pouaka makariri. 

We used the maori dictionary to see how to say fruits in maori.

Measurement

We learned about the units of Measurement.

We had to write the short veirsions for the units, for example millimetres = mm.

Next we measeured two things in the classroom to see how many centimetres (cm) the objects were.

Then we had to write how many millimetres you need to make 1 centimetre (10mm)  and 100 centimetres makes 1 meter and 1000 metres make 1 kilometre.
