Predicting

I learned that Predicting is guessing something before you know it.

I made predictions from a story called Winter Sports.

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.
