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.

Balance callange

We made our own challenge based on balancing.

First, we planned out what challenge we were doing. Our plan was to stand on one leg and swing our arms back and forth while holding the bottle.

Next, we tested out our challenge by avoiding our tipping point while making the bottles touch each other.

Lastly, we took a photo and recorded our results and we made our poster. 

I need to get better at my print design rules becuase I was struggling with my print resign rules.

 

Prepotions

I learnt about prepotions in maori.

I learned how to say left (maui), right (mato), above (runga) by playing a game called maui and mato where we had to move a stick left or right.

Next I answered questions to tell where items were by using prepositions.

Pla

Movment

This week we learned reflection, rotation, and translation.

A reflection is when you take an image for example you have your hand to the left and the reflection flips it over to the right.

A rotation is taking an image then turning it around.  In real life you can turn 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees.

Translation is when you move from left, right, forward, and backwards, you are sliding the image.

Main ideas

The book Bright Fine Gold is about gold miners in caves mountains.

cuase and effect

We wrote a cause and effect sentence for each of our mechanisms 

I wrote the mechanisms for how chocolate is made and how fireworks work.

I wrote the mechanisms and used cause and effect to put inside the mechanisms. 

Chocolate:
Chocolate is made by roasting the cocoa beans and removing the nibs in order to blend it to form a liquid.

You then pour it into a mold so it can set. The shape and size of your mold effects

The chocolate that results when you put the chocolate in the frezeer to harden.

Fireworks:
Cylindrical paper containers are used in order to hold all the firework parts together.

The fuse is used to create delays in order for the firing of multiple firework displays.

The bursting charge is used when the explosion goes off sometimes stars are included with the reaction.

Next time, I should work on my mechanisms to add more information.

Basic Fact Boxes

I worked on a can-do called Basic Facts Boxes

I did the speed demon challenge. I did addition up to ten.  

I did the speed demon challenge, I did addition up to ten.

My time was 4 minutes and 55 seconds I got 100 out of 100 corecet. Next time I will improve my time by

practicing at home and at school.

Hook

Yesterday I watched a video of an introduction and wrote hooks. 

First we got to practise writing hooks by writing hooks about our teacher. Hooks catches people's attention by using surprising facts and a question.

Next we wrote hooks about how chocolate is made, the life cycle of a butterfly and how fireworks work.

After that we wrote an introduction for the 3 texts.

Did you know that butterflies only live for a few weeks? The butterfly life cycle starts with an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and a butterfly. Did you know that it takes 28 to 30 days to complete the life cycle.

Did you know it takes about 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate. Chocolate is made by roasting cocoa beans, removing nibs and lastly blending the nibs to form a chocolate liquid. The chocolate takes 5 or 8 days depending on what chocolate it is.

Did you know that fireworks were made over 2000 years ago. The parts of a firework are the cylindrical paper container with string, a fuse, a bursting charge made with gunpowder and stars for the reaction. This process only takes 2 hours.

Next time, I should work on my introduction to add more information.

Simple machthins

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines. They are: wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. Simple machines were used to make work eaiser.

Idoim

A idiom is a phrase that has a diffrint mening to a sentence.

Calendars

Calenders show us the day,week or month.

There are twelve months in the year, they are; January February March April May June July August.

Months have 28,30 or 31 days.

There are number patterns on a callender by looking For Four connecting days for example 20,60,100

Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 timestables reading a calendar.

Cuase And Effect

We learned what cuase and effect is.

First we put an explanation back to together.

Next we learned about causal languge It is a word that  goes  in betwen a text , for example I ate becaue I was hungry. 

We had to put the the life cycle of a butterfly text in order.

then we had write cause and effect sentences about the life cycle.

The three simailor simple machins

The wedge pulls stuff apart, the lever helps lift heavy obgexts, and the inclided plane helps you move somthing from high to low.These are simaliar simple machins.

Key words

A keyword is a word that has a lot of meaning for a text.

I need to get better at predicting by practicing at home.

Balance

Group B learned to balance and we learned how our body works 

Balance is keeping your legs and body straight, we got pushed and tried to keep straight.

Then we did a bench actvity, two people try to cross the bench with out toching the ground.

Next we had to balance on a ball. I had two people hold me to until I get my balance on the ball.

I need to improve on my balance becuase on the ball activity I could not keep my balance I will try to practice.

simple machines

A simple machine is a machine that helps move an object.

There are six simple machines a lever ,screw, axel and wheel, inclined plane, wedge, and a pulley.

A lever is a simple machine that help you lift big objects.

A screw is a simple machine that holds things together. 

A axel and wheel is a simple machine that can move heavy things. 

The inclinded plane is a simple machine that helps move objects from a low level to a high level easier.

A wedge is a simple machine that helps push things apart.

A pully is a simple machine that lifts things up and down they use a pully on a crane. 

These 6 machines are still used today to move objects.

Maori countries

For maori I learned questions with fye odie.

The first question I learned was ko muramu it means do you understand.

The next question I learned was kau mutu it means finished.

Maori questions are hard I need to get better at them by practicing on my parents.

Basic Facts Boxes

I did a can-do called Basic Facts Boxes

I did the speed demon challenge. I did addition up to ten.  

My time was six minutes and three seconds I got 100 out of 100 corecet. Next time I will go on a harder slide and improve my time by practicing at home and at school.

Character Trait

A character trait describes a character in a story or in real life.

A character trait uses adjectives to describe a chraracters actions. 

For example the duck is a clever kind brave hero.

A character trait also has examples in the story of how the character is those desciptions. 

For example in the story of The Highway Rat when the duck had no food for the rat so he was going to eat the duck but the duck said that her sister had treats to get away from the rat.

Using character traits help the reader fully understand how or why a character is doing something.

Multiplication

Multiplication is a faster way of adding the same numbers many times. The two, five, and ten are examples of multiplication.

The two times tables are multiplying two by a number of groups.

The five times tables are multiplying five by a number of groups.

The ten times tables are multiplying ten by a number of groups.

The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multiplication equations. The next times tables to learn are the three, four, and six times tables.

Fact or Opinion.

I did fact or opinion about the duck in the story of the highway rat.

First I wrote the facts of the duck on the slide.

Next I wrote the Opinion of what the duck did in the story.

Next I wrote adjectives about the ducks persnality for example the duck is brave, and intelligent.

one of the facts I did was the duck leads the highway rat to the cave, my opinion was the duck was planing how to get rid of the highway rat.

I need to learn more adjectives becuse I wrote some stuff that were not adjectives like genius.

Prototec

I did a can-do callled prototec.

First I did stage six on prototec when we where finished.

My time was 11 minutes I need to improve my time by practicing at home or school I got 38 out of 40 questions corect.

I also need to improve on my division.

I put the image of my time on a google slide.

Basic Fact Boxes

I did a can-do called Basic Facts Boxes

I did the speed demon challenge. I did addition up to ten.  

My time was six minutes and 17 seconds I got 99 out of 100 corecet. Next time I will go on a harder slide and improve my time by practicing at home and at school.

Visualisation

Visualisation is when you read a story and imagine pictures in your head.

Mr Ogilvie read us the Highway Rat. The story is about a rat stealing peoples food and the rat learning his lesson.

My Visualisation looks diffrent because my one doest have as much deitails.

Visualisation is important because it helps you understand the story.

 

Place value and saying numbers

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

The position of a digit detwrmins its value. when we say numbers we group them within the same house. 

For example 15709 fas fifteen thousands, seven hundreds and nice ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value sysetem allowes us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

AFL Training week 2

We did AFL on the feild.

We practiced passing the ball. We had to make a fist with our dominant hand and you had to make a dinner plate with your other hand. You hit the ball with your fist off the dinner plate. 

Next we practiced our kicking. To kick the ball you had to hold the ball on a M with your fingers and put the X pointing the ground and another X pointing to the sky. Keep the laces on the ball away from faces. 

We also learned how to tackle people you had to put your arm around the persons shoulder and push him to the ground.

Next we learned how to do the tip off. You had to throw the ball up in the air and to people had to punch the ball before the other person does.

My favourite lesson was the tackling becuase I got to tackle my freinds but I need to inprove on my aim with my kicking.

Basic Facts Boxes

I did a can-do called Basic Facts Boxes

I did the speed demon challenge. I did addition up to ten.

My time was 9 minutes and 38 seconds I got all the answers correct I need to improve on my time by practicing at home and at school.

Mihi Whakatau

Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a greeting.

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

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

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tipuna (ancestoral 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.

It is important to end with warm welcome so the visitor know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.

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