Next they would have to put there noodles back up and the boxers we would have to bridge back and cross and a left hook. For the third combonation we did a slip. When we did the slip we would have to counter differently depending on what side we went. We could slip right or left. If we sliped left we would have to come back with a left hook, if we sliped right we would have to come back with a cross. The last combo we did had to use a upper cut in the punch. We had duck under the noodles and come up with a upper cut.

Midway through making the inferences we had to make 6 or as many as we could. Watched the video over 3 times so that each time I could pick out little inferences. An Inference is when you read through a text and get details and put them together to make one big idea.

Addition Poster

LI: To make a poster about the topic we chooose

This week for maths we had to choose a category and then make a poster, animation,  video or slide show. The four subjects we could choose were: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.

 I chose the Addition Poster Because I think it would be a good subject to learn more about first. Before I made the poster our teacher gave all of us the same addition methods to learn about. The 2 methods we learnt about are place value and Tidy numbers. When I made my poster I used the print design rules from T1 ( Term 1 ).

Kiwi Sport

LI: To learn about boxing defenses.
This week for boxing we had to learn about some different boxing defenses. We had to get into partners and practice these move.The first defense we used is called Guard. It is similar to the rock but your protecting your whole face instead of just your cheek bones. You partner would hit your glove with a pool noodle and you would have to get in to your guard position. One part of the guard is you have to make one gap for your head to see through.

The second defense we used is called bridge. The key about the bridge is to stay firm on your feet and to not fall over. I can't really think of any thing else to talk about for the bridge.

The third defense mechanisme we used is called slip. It is were you had to put you noodle on there shoulder and the person with gloves had to roll under and get the noodle to be on there other shoulder.

LI: To learn about respect.
This week for Kiwi Can we had to learn more about respect. We also learnt more about how we can respect our communite. We learnt different way we could respect our communite and what is the oppisite of them and what it could do.

The name of our energizer was called tunnel ball. To play you have to make a circle with you legs open. Once that is done you have to get a ball. You have to try and hit the ball with one hand inbetween a person's legs. If you do they are eliminated from the game. The actual game we played was called arm soccer ( or arm football ). You have to split yourselves into two groups and if you want you can name your groups. The rules are: you can not use two hands or your feet, you can not pick the ball up and you can not hold the ball still. The first to get to ten goals wins. I really enjoyed Kiwi Can and wish I could do this again.

Maori

LI: To learn how to pronounce words in maori.
This week for Maori we had to make a poster about spelling and pronouncing foods in maori. Our Maori teacher said there has to be no english within the poster, not even images could contain english in it.

The food items me and Leon chose were butter, Peanut butter, Honey and jam. When it came to making the poster we both worked as a team to finish. I really enjoyed this maori lesson and wish to do it again.

Kiwi Can

LI: To respect our communite.
This week for Kiwi Can we learnt more about respecting our communite. We talked about what communites surround us and how we can help them.

Our energizer was called remote. To play you need a master of the "remote". If they say go you have to walk normally. If they say rewind you have to walk back the path you took. By this I mean you can walk in a straight line but you can't walk back a different way. If he they say pause you must jump on the spot then freeze. If they say fast forward you have to speed walk. if they just say stop and you stop your out because stop isn't one of the 4 words. Even hesatating a incorrect action will get u out. The game we played was called Invisible Rugby. To play you need to split your selves into two different groups. Now you can play this on any surface ( Just make sure the surface is flat ). Someone says a number and whatever number they say the amout of people go. For example if someone say 2 then 2 people start running near the other teams trie line. the person who shouts out the number also has to say who is holding the ball. If a player tags the person who has the ball then they have the ball.

Boxing

LI: To learn how to use combinatoins in boxing.
This week for boxing with Pax we learnt how to put boxing combinations together. We used what we learned from the previous weeks and put them all together. The boxing punches that we used were called: Jab, Cross, left hook, right hook, left upper cut and the right upper cut.

We had to get into pairs and when we were done finding our partner we had to put some liners and gloves on. Our partner went to grab two pool noodles for the boxing partners to punch. The person who was wearing the gloves had to punch the noodles.

The first combination we used was jab, jab, cross. The second combination we learnt was jab, cross, left hook and one more cross. The last combination we learnt was jab, cross, left hook, right hook, left upper cut and then right upper cut. When our turn was over with the gloves we had to swap them with our partner so that we could all have a go at boxing. I had fun learning boxing combinations and would like to do it again.

I try to make it so that the words were easy to read by using color. I also used a balance of text and Images by using compistion. I tried filling all the space I had by using my images and text. Once I had finished my poster I sent it to my Maori teacher for feedback. I have linked a text to one of the Paikea songs that were performed by college students.

Next someone ( Of your choice) has to give everyone a number from 1-4. Then the same person who gave everyone numbers are going to say a number between 1-4. Then the people who had the same number as the person calls have to run around the outside of there circle. Afetrwards when they have ran around once and arrived in there spot, they have to run through the middle and try and grab the ball first. But you can't dive. 

The game we played was called Bus Stop. To play pus stop you need to split yourselves up into groups. Once you have done that you need to list down the same group of categories as everyone else. Next you have to get somebody to say a letter within the elphabet. Everyone has to write something that goes under the given category.

Paraghraph Recount

Good Recount: After maybe a half an hour the path became very difficult to climb. The path became extremely steep. The path’s surface changed. It changed from tightly packed stones to loose gravel. We started using large steps to try and move forward more, but each time we took a step, we would slipped back down. We had lost sight of other people climbing, but when we did spot people they seemed to be walking alongside us but at a different elevation. We kept on walking with and it was hard to climb. We even used our hands to hold onto the gravel. After a while we came to an intersection with a large sign showing different paths around and up Mt Fuji.  I could read Japanese whereas the others couldn’t, so I tried to figure out where to go. Instead I ended up finding out that we had climbed up the service road! This road was used for bulldozers, diggers and other heavy machinery that could travel on difficult roads. We all agreed we were stupid.

Bad Recount: After maybe a half an hour. And then the path became very difficult to climb. The path became extremely steep. The path’s surface changed. It changed from tightly packed stones to loose gravel. We started using large steps to try and move forward, but each time we took a step, we slipped back down. We had lost sight of other people climbing, but when we did spot people they seemed to be walking alongside us but at a different elevation. We kept on with the hard climbing. We even used our hands to hold onto the gravel. After a while we came to an intersection with a large sign showing different paths around and up Mt Fuji.  I could read Japanese whereas the others couldn’t, so I tried to figure out where to go. Instead I ended up finding out that we had climbed up the service road! This road was used for bulldozers, diggers and other heavy machinery that could travel on difficult roads. We all agreed we were stupid.

Then we put on our boxing gloves and then formed parteners. we had to line up on two lines while facing Pax. Then we had to put our legs a little further apart than our shoulder width. Next we put our gloves on our cheeks or just under our eyes. Our partener would give us a little push while we had to try and stay like a rock ( Not moving ) which is what the technuiqe was called. Afterwards we got to learn two types of punches. The punches were called a jab and a cross. The jab was with your left hand and the cross was with your right. the cross would have a little bit more power in the punch because you have to use you leg to twist.

This week for writing we had to make a informative but emotive paraghraph. We also had to try and learn some differences between emotive and informative sentences.

First we read one 5 different sentences and then make five emotive sentences. The next part we had to do was a little harder.

YMCA Swimming

LI: To learn about water saftey.

This week for swimming we learnt more about how to float with our boards. We also had to learn a new skill called the starfish flip.

To perform the starfish flip you have to start with you head underwater then wait for 5 seconds to pass and then you flip on to your stomach to breath. something that is very important when you are on your stomach is to keep your chest and stomach above water. Then we got our float boards and people went on eather side of the walls and ropes with there boards out. They had to not splash but make waves while someone is swimming through the middle of the two groups.

I learnt more about how to safe in water with YMCA Lagoon. 

Inquiry

LI: To learn the difference between roads, highways and motorways.
This week for inquiry we had to make a google slide explainig the difference between roads, highways and motorways. We also had to learn the diffrence between some other road related things.

We started by talking to eachother on what we are going to work on. Next we got some information about R.H.M and then started working. it was pretty hard for me because I did two of the slides and let the others do the photo and video slide. I went back to look at some videos and they all helped me alot on the understanding of roads. finally we had finished and then we were done.

I learnt different road related things that could help me in my future of driving.

Dance mat typing

LI: To practice on our typing.
Today I played dance mat typing to improve on my typing skills and if you want to click this link. This was another fun way to improve on my typing skills. Sadly I will not use the way that they type because my fingers are use to a different way of typing. But what I like about this game is that it has different levels which are more challenging thatn the last.

Kiwi Can

LI: To learn how to persevere.
This week was third to last week of kiwi can so we tried to be the best we can be. We learnt how to persevere between diffrent challenges. We also talked about somethings that can help you from when you are frustrated about losing something.

Our energizer was called add master and to play you need to form a circle with your friends and family. One person will start at a point in the circle and there goal is to play a game were you have to kind of rock paper scissors but pull out one or two hands. If you hold up 3 fingers and the other person holds up 5 then you have to add up the numbers as quick as possible so that you answer is three. if you beat them then you move to the next person and your goal is to beat everyone in the circle but if you lose then you sit down were the person who beat you sits. The next game we played was called card towers and to play you need to split into groups of four with 12 cards each and within five minutes you have to try and build the best tower. The catch was that you can not frustrate or else you are out.

I learnt how to persevere and somethings that can help you when you are frustrated at someone or something.

We also learnt a little bit on how to tell time using 24 hour time.Then we learnt that am and pm mean ante merdiam and post merdiam.

Inquiry: Traffic Control

 LI: To learn about roads.
This week for inquiry we had to make a presantation and then once you are done you had to play three diffrent games based on road control. To see then blog post on the presantation click on this link.

The first game we played was called highway traffic and it was not really acurate on how we control traffic lights and by that I mean when you would click the traffic light it would skip ( always ) skip amber. This next game we played was to me was the most acurate at controlling the traffic light because when you would click the traffic light then it would go amber and then red. The last game we played was more of a puzzle game because you had to make a root using curves and straight roads to get the cars to there destanation.

I learnt alot about traffic control.

Inquiry: Presantation

LI: To make a presantation about traffic lights, Round abouts & Pedastrian crossings.
This week for one of our inquiry blog post we had to make a presantation about traffic lights, round abouts & pedastrian crossings.

We first made a script on what we are going to say, next we made a slide deck with photo to show a little bit of evoulution from the three. Then we we were done we went to record our presantation, we did two because on our first video we messed up so we started a new one and finished by sending the video to Mr. Ogilve. Then he checked our work for mistakes and other things.

We learnt how to comunicate with people we don't often work with.

Rugby

LI: To learn the basics of rugby.
This week on wedensday we had rugby. My group had to learn the basics of rugby like passing, tackling, rucks and throw ins.

The first drill was the rucks and I am going to be honest it was very confusing but in the end we maneged to complete it, the skill we did was tackling and to practice tackling we had to get into groups of two. One person in the group had to go on there knees and try and tackle their teammates who are standing up, also the teamate can move right or left and they have to try and get pass the tackler. Then we had to do passing and like most rugby teams we make three lines and one person runs and passes it to the others and you keep on going until your coach says stop. The last one we did was line outs and we did them how most people do, one person throws in the ball and the other people have to catch it.

We learnt the basics of rugby.


           

Lac Long Quan Lesson

LI: To understand the purpose of a narrative.
This week for reading we had to learn about the Vietnam myth called Lac Long Quan and we also had to ask some questions and figure out the answers. We also had to use our smart searching skills to figure out our answers.

We had to make a DLO explaining what we think the story of Lac Long Quan story, like what we think the message is and what the moral is. if you watch the video above then you will see my answers about the moral and more, the main thing I think we had to do was to ask some questions about the story and then figure out the answers. I find the question part hard because it took me a very long to to find out the answers.

I learnt more about how to use my smart searching skills a lot more.

YMCA Swimming

LI: To learn how to be safe in different enivorments contained with water

We played a little game in the pool were we had to make a circle by holding on to  the back of eachothers life jackets and then we spun around in a circle, then we let go of eachother and we floated on our back without kicking. after that we had to come back in and then the instructor showed us how to put our life jacket back on while in the pool.

We learnt how to put our life jacket on while in the pool and how to get in the pool safly with our life jackets on but the main thing the tought us was another step of how to be saftey in water.
