Brain Stoming

We brainstormed ideas for a speech.

First I brainstormed ideas for our speech. We watched two videos about persuasion text. Then we wrote our ideas in the table (chart).

Next I wrote 5 ideas about 3 different category . The 3 different category were yourself, the school, and the world.

Lastly we had to highlight the ideas that we know a lot and we don't know that much about. Green means that you know a lot about. Yellow means that you don't know that much about and red means that you don't know much about.

The experience was amazing because I brain stormed ideas to make a persuasion.

Balance

Today for PE we did balance. We used frisbee equipment to balance when trowing the frisbee. 

First we got into pairs and used the frisbee to throw to our partner.

Next I had to act like a dog to try to use the frisbee to balance while running  and jump so you can catch the frisbee.

Then I had to run and catch the frisbee and stopped into position and try to get the frisbee in the frisbee net.

Lastly we played a game called ultimate frisbee in groups. I use the same technique to play  ultimate frisbee.

I think I need more practice on throwing the frisbee  and balancing well throwing the frisbee.  

Balance

I learned how to balance by using tennis equipment.

The first activity we did was balancing the tennis ball on the tennis racket. 

Secornd we got in pairs and we bounce the ball up and down on the tennis racket.

 

Lastly, I ran and stopped were the net was. I got into position and then I hit the ball over the net softly.  

I found this activity kind of easy because we had to balance the ball by walking slow because if we walked fast the ball would move and we have to stop moving when the ball moves.

Cause & Effect introduction

Did you know that fireworks were made out of dye with charcoal and a fuse with a string at the end therefore the firework whenl ignited will explode with colour.

Did you know that Chocolate is made from roasted cocoa beans and sugar Because the cocoa beans taste bitter sugar will put the tasty flavor that adds sweetness to the chocolate When they are mixed together they form a liquid. When they are put in the fridge they set or harden in the shape that they are. For example a star shaped mold will produce star shaped chocolate

Main Ideas

This book is about why animals migrate. The reson why there need to migrate is because they need to move from a colder place to a warmer place.

Introduction

 A introduction can have a intresting question or a hook.

First Mr Ogilvie showed us a video about how to write a hook and what is a hook.
Next, we wrote an introduction and a hook about three different topics.

Do you know there are multiple celebrations of chocolate each year. To make chocolate you will need milk, butter, suger and cocoa beans this can cause the chocolate to taste sweet and a lit bit sour and better.

Did you know that fireworks originated in China around 2000 years ago? you will need a fuse and a stick and a string this cause the fire work to go up in the sky.

Next time I will write a better introduction and add more writing to my introduction.

3 Similar simple machiens

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines that help move heavy objects, which are pulley, screw, and wheel and axle.

Balancing

This week I was passing balls to my partner while balancing

First I had to try and catch the basketball while balancing on one leg without falling. I think that this was hard to do because we had to balance of our weak leg.

Seconed was the netball we had to do the same thing as the basketball but the netball part was we had to bounce the ball two time and then we throw the ball to the other person.

 

The third actvitiy was the rugby ball. For the ruby part we had to pass the ball facing the side. This was kind of easy because i had to go on my weak leg but I could catch the ball when it goes side to side.

Forth was the hokey equipment. We had to roll the ball to the other person then they roll it back to you but you have to swing the hokey stick so the ball can roll to the other person. 

Lastly was the frisbee. We had to do the same thing as hockey, but when we throw the frisbee our hips move diffrent direction. This challange was hard because we had to balance on one leg.

Questions

This week I learnt a new Maori questions that can help me learn words in Maori.

First I learnt how to say Kei hea te pene rākau? this means where is the pen.

After I also learnt how to say Kei raro i te pene pukapuka? which means the pen is under the book.

 This activity was fun because It hepls me with my Maori class.

Explain That Idiom

A idiom is a word that is the same meaning that are not the same. For example: You have been late so many times it means like your late a lot of time to work.

Calendars

Calendars show us the Day, week or month.

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

Months have 28,30 or 31 days.

There are number patterns on a calendar by looking for four connecting days for exaple 20, 60 & 100.

Knowing before and after number sequenee and 7 timetables helps us reading a calendar.

Tipping point

I learned how to control my tipping point.

First, we practiced tipping points by playing a game called Block Twister.

Afterwards, we had a recap of the tipping point.

I enjoyed the the game, but it was hard at the same because I was struggling with balancing.

Passing

Today I learned how to tell other people to pass somthing in Maori.

First we needed to revised what we learnt last week the words was tenei, tena and tera.

Next I learnt how to tell someone to pass something on. Example: Hoatu te Ika ki te taha maui. It means pass the fish to the left.

This was hard because I was struggling to say the words properly.

Using Manners

Manners are used for showing respect to others people. They use formal language.

You can use manners when someone is greeting you and giving something.

Manners are used when someone opens the door for you, greet you well saying other people name.

People use manners when there teachers are talking. People use manners to respect eachother.

When your asking for something say may I and please. For example: May I go to the toliet.

Showing manners to other people makes them show manners back.

Problem solving

Today in groups we did problem sloving about time.

First I had to work out what the question was with my group.

Next we wrote down the answers on a google doc.

Lastly we showed our results to Mr Ogilvie.

This task was kind of hard because I knew some of the question.

Simple Machines In Real Life

These are simple machines that I found in my enviourment.

These are the six simple machines:

Wedge

Wheel and Axle

Inclined plane

Screw

Pulley

Lever

Balance

Today we learnt how to balance in our environment.

The first thing we did was we balance on the ledge.

Next we went to the senior playground and used the equipment to balance.

After Mr Ogilvie said to go in 4 groups and get the phones and find a place in the senior playgroup to balance by your self.

I enjoyed learning about balancing even though I need to practice more.

Classroom Questions

Today I learnt some Maori question that helps in the classroom.

The first question that I learnt is Kua Marama. Kua Marama means Do you Understand. The next question that I learnt is Kua Mutu. Kua Mutu means Finshed.

Next time I should practice more saying the Maori question so I could remember them.

.

Simple Machine

Simple Machines are tools to help make work easier. 

The six simple machines are:

1. Wedge

2. Wheel and Axle

3. Screw

4. Pulley

5. Inclined plane

6. Lever

HPE I Balance

I learned about balancing.

First Mr Ogilvie taught us about what balancing means and is about. It is about finding your tipping point.

Next we did the balancing beam activity. We had to cross the balancing beam without touching the floor. There were 2 people on each team going to the other team at the same time. We had to help eachother balance.

Then we had to try and balance on a ball like the tipping point. We used other people to help use balance and when we were confident we let go and tried to balance by oursleves.

I think the balancing on the ball was the hardest because I did not do very well on the ball.

Analog Clock

Analog clocks are a piece of technology that helps tell time.

A clock has 3 mechanisms. The secondp` hand moves around the clock the fastest.

The minute hand is the longest and moves when the second hand completes 1 rotation.

The hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the big numbers.

An analog clock requires you to look outside to know if it is morning or afternoon.

Team Work

Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork consists of three main mechanisims. Communicaton is talking to or planning somthing out. When people in a dodgeball team communicate they tell each other when a ball is coming their way.

Cooperation is being a good team member while working together. People in a dodgeball team cooperate by listening and following a plan to be successful.

Collaboration is working together to be successful or finish something. An example of collabration is when players in a dodgeball team collabrate and work together in a game to win.

( This video shows the mechanism of comunication )

( This video shows the mechanism of collabration )

( This video shows the mechanism of cooperation )

To be successful as a team all there mechenisims need to be implemented throughout the activity.

Making Connection

Making Connections is joining information to make a deeper understanding for the reader.

Text to self is where people connet the text to there own experiences: For example The duck tricked the rat by saying there is food at the mountian, trick my brothers by saying i will give you my phone if you give me your food but then I don’t.

Text to text connection are when people  compare the text are reading to other similar texts. These texts could be book or visual texts such as a movie or TV programme: For example The duck lead the rat to a cave,The grandma leads the wolf inside the house because the grandma thought it was the Red Riding Hood.

Text to world is when people connet what they are reading to things that really happens in the outside world: For exampleThe duck gave water to the horse and retured food with the villages, People give food and drinks to the homeless people so they can survive and not get hungry or thisrty.

Making connections are an important way to understand a meaning. Connecting texts to other things or people can help you understand similairities.

Private vs Public Information

Public Information is something that can be posted on the internet and can be shared with other people.

Private Information should be kept private and should not be on internet or something bad could happen.

If Information isn't kept safe, it could be shared, bordcast, copied, or stolen.

LI: to differentiate between public and private information.

Teamwork

Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork consists of three main mechanisms. Commuication is talking to or planning something out. When people in a dodgeball team communicate they tell each other when a ball is coming their way.

Cooperation is a process of groups of people working or acting together. An example in a game of dodgeball you have to work together to save your teammates back into the game.

Collaboration is working to be successful or finish somrthing. An example of collabration is when players in a dodgeball team collabrate and work together in a game to win.

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

Character Trait The Duck

A  character trait is describing an action of the character.

A character trait uses adjectives to decribe the character. In the Highway Rat there was 3 character that can be describe using traits.

The duck is confident because she tries to defend herself from the highway rat so he doesn't take her cupcake.

The duck is clever becaus the duck lead the rat to the duck sisters cave in the mountain. The rat gose into the cave and the duck runs to the horse so the rat dose not treat the horse bad foods.

Using these adjectives it can be inferred that the Duck is clever, respectful, brave.

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

Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same numbers many times. The two time tables are muliplying two by number of groups.

The two time tables are multiplying two by numbers of groups.

The five time tables are multiplying two by numbers of groups.

The ten time tables are multiplying two by numbers of groups.

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

Fact and Opinion

 I completed a task called fact or opinion. 

First I listen to the story called the highway. The story is about the highway rat who is a bad person who steals peoples food, but a duck tricked the rat into thinking she has a sister at the top of the 

Next I wrote down the facts. An fact is something that you think is true. For example one of my facts: The duck told the rat there is a cave with a echoey sound.

After I wrote down my opinions. An opinion is something that you think is true. For example one of my opinions are: The duck didn't want to get eat from the highway rat.

Lastly I wrote down 5 adjectives for each opinion to describe the character trait. One of my adjectives is:  anxious.

I enjoyed this task because I like finding out about facts and opinions. 

Multiplication

I learn multiplication with my group.

First I took a big group of counters then I spilt into groups of 5.

After spiting the counters into 5 we organise them into a rectangle then we took a picture of the counters.

Then I used multiplication to find out the unknown amount which is 45.

Next I use time tables to find out the amount numbers.

Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same number many times.

LI: to use multiplication to count many items.

  

Visualisation-Highway Rat

Visualisation is creating pictures in your head.This helps 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.

We have differentiate Visualisation because we have different pictures.

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 then within the same house.For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds and nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly.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 welcoming introduction and opening. 

It is undertaken by Tangat Whenua (local inhabitants). The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspect to the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and \Iwi (tribe) are generally used.

Introducing Ingoa (names), Oku tipuna (ancestral place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position 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 visitors 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 relationship and connection.

Basic Facts Boxes

 I tried the speed demon challenge up to 5.

It took me 8 minutes and 58 seconds to finish my basic facts I got 95/100 right.

I also need to practise my basic facts more and I will try to type faster.

AFL training

We went on our school field to play AFL which is Australian Football.

First the coach showed us passing skills then we had to spread out on the field and one of our partners had to grab the ball and then we held the ball on the right hand and we had to throw the ball in the air then punch it softly with your right hand.

Then the coach showed us how to kick, after practising how to kick the ball and throwing it in the air well punching it softly we played a game called octopus. The coach had to say run if you a wearing socks and if you get touched with the ball then you have to freeze like a starfish and someone has to high five you to save you.

After playing octopus we practised kicking the ball at the coach and our teacher. I did not hit anyone though. 

I liked playing octopus because I got to practice the new skills. 

      

Print Design Rules

I learned about the print Design Rules.

First Mr Wong taught us about the main aspects of the Print Design Rules, colour, layout, text, composition.

Next, I figured out which poster were good and bad with my partners.

Last I reorganised a poster to make it look good.

 

Prototec

I went on Prototec to learn new basic facts.

First I did stage 5 I got groupings within 100 wrong and my subtraction to 20 some was wrong and right.

Then my last one was division using 2, 5, 10, I need to practise division more. 

I need to practise some of my division and my grouping with 100.

Handwriting

I learned how to write the alphabet, and symbols properly.

I watched a video to show neat handwriting. I wrote the characters neatly into my writing book.

I need to improve my "p" by writing it in one move.

LS1 Learning Treaty

We learnt about the 3 Ps in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3 Ps in the Treaty of Waitangi. They are protection, partnership and participation.

Then in group we wrote statements about the 3 Ps in LS1.

LS1 figured out the 3 Ps are all connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statements because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1. 

I will work on this statements by helping other people when they need help.

SSR Selfie - Jesus is born

 I read a small section of Jesus was born.

I read the page of Joseph had a dream of the carpenter who was betrothed to Mary, learned that she was pregnant, he decided to end their betrothal, because he was not the father of her child. 

He hoped to do it quietly, however, her in front of her friends. Then an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream and said Joseph don't be afraid to marry Mary. The baby she is carrying is from God. She will bear you a son and you will name him Jesus which means saviour because he will save his people.

Other people wanted to name him John,Peter but Mary said we should name him Jesus because she remember what the angel said to her at church.

I enjoyed reading this book because it tell me about Jesus is born.

Basic Facts Sheets

I created a basic facts chart using Google Sheets. 

My partner and I started by finding number bonds, doubles, and times tables using blocks.

While finding out some basic facts using blocks, I recorded the results in a spreadsheet.

Next I created a chart by using spreadsheet tricks like copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) and selection dragging to quickly fill in the repeated information.

I thought that this activity was enjoyable and interesting and I also learned a lot about number bonds. 

L.I. to learn number bonds and doubles.
