Maori

LI: To learn about the Maori weather.
This week for Maori we had to read a book based on the weather. After we had red the book we had to make a slideshow based on Maori weather. From there I don't know what happened because I had left.
But I do know that we had to finish the slide and put it safe in our folder.

Kiwi Can

LI: To learn how to respect our school.

This week for kiwi can we had to learn about respecting our school even more. We talked about some of the things in school that we respect. Some of suggestions were the school rules, Respecting our job and much more. 

The energizer we took part of is called Middle Ball. and to play it's very simple. First you need a small round ball placed in the middle of the circle you made. 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. If your answer is different than the others you get 10 points, were as if you get the same answer as everyone you only get five points. When we were finished we said thank you and goodbye.

Commenting

LI: To create a smart comment about.
Today for commenting I commented on my friend Karlos's blog. I  was very happy and proud of him for getting 100% on prototec within two minutes. Within my comment I tryed to contain positivity, thoughtfulness and helpfulness.

Typing Practice

LI: To get better at typing.
Today for typing I used a typing practice app that remebers the letters that you missed tapping. Then it does fake and real words until it thinks you are ready to move on to more letters. I tried to get faster and better at typing so that if we have another writing test I can be faster than I was in the past. I also want to become better so that there are less chance of me typing a word wrong.

Maori

LI: To learn about what happened on Giphworks day.
This week for maori we had to read a book about Giphworks. Once we had listened to our maori teacher we had split up and went on google maps to find the locations that we were told to find. When we I was done locating all the locations The bell rang for lunch time ao our Maori class was over. Before we got our food we were told to write our names on the piece of paper.

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.

LI: To correct certain structure and language features in a recount.
This week for writing we had to rewrite a messed up recount. We had to pick out all the mistakes we could find and then change them to what we thought were correct. We had a little chat with Mr Wong to understand what we were aimng to do. My group had to focus on sentnce and structre. That meant we had to fix up the sentences and structres that did not make sense.

WW1: M.A.I.N

LI: To learn about the causes, conflict, and resolution to World War 1 (WWI).
This week for inquiry we were learning about the acrynom M.A.I.N. The acrynom stands for Militarisim, Alliance, Imperialism and Nationalism. We had to go onto to something that we call a cheat sheet ( The sheet did not contain any answers ). We had to copy and paste what we thought was right into each box. Once we had finished we had to think what immediate cause that startded WW1. I answered by saying it was the black hand gang the shot the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. That was my reason for WW1 to start.

Boxing

LI: To learn the three commands.
This week for boxing we had to learn three diffrent commands. The three commands are Respect, Discipline and Saftey. Some key words respect are caring for others, Listening to what you have been told and respecting the rules of boxing. For discplince you can only punch under a safe enviorment while being taught by a coach. The name of our coach was Pax and she has won one of her own boxing matches. Saftey is being safe while doing your boxing class. Then we put on two diffrent types of gloves. The first one we put on was called a sweater becasue it was sweat obsorbant I think. 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. Our partner would just catch the punch in there glove. Then we took the gloves of for the end of our lesson.

Time

LI: To make a interactive activaty based on time.
This week for maths we had to choose a subject out of four. The choices we had were time, geomatry, money and numbers ( Multiplacations ). I chose time and made a interactive game based on time. One of the rules are you can NOT skip to the Answers at the bottom or I will kick you from the game. if you want you can learn about time before you begin.

Conflict & Resoulution: Painted hoe

LI: To learn about the conflict and reoulution in this story.
This week for reading we had to read a book called Painted Hoe and figure out the conflict and the resoulution of the book. We had to figure out the charecters and what there ideals are ( Wants ). This book reminds me of Percy Jackson becasue Percy is trying to be a hero and James Cook is doing the same thing. Both books have a conflict and a resolution that solves the conflict. Also both books have a good and bad side. Percy's team is the good side and Hadeas team is the bad side and in the Painted Hoe Britain are the bad side and maori are the good side ( This is my opionion ).

Cyber-Smart

LI: To identify the gimmicks used to attract and persuade people into buying there product.

We had to play a game made by the Co-Co Crunch company which explains some gimmick that companys use to persuade their customers into buying their product. After we had identified the gimmicks used we had to fill out a google slide.

World war 1 / WW1

LI: To learn about the conflict in WW1 (World War 1).
This week for inquiry we had to get into a pair. Then our pairs got into groups of 6. We had to learn about the vocabulary associated with WW1. Then we split up again just with our pairs. We had to list down the rest of the words. After we had wrote the definition on every word we had to work on the time line within WW1. The years for the time line were not writen so we had to figure them all out and put the scenarios with the years. 

Activaty for measurment

LINK to slide.
LI: To learn about a subject of our choice.
This week for maths we had to choose one subject out of four. The choices were statistics, measurment, addition and subtraction. I decided to work on measurment. I had to make a google slide explaining what I learnt and then I made another slide on a interactive game that people could play on the other slide. On the slide I have linked one part to another slide about measurment because the first slide is about the game.

Conflict and resolution

LI: To learn about the meaning of conflict and resolution.
This week we had to read a story about a kid who doesn't want to share his scooter. They have a conflict much like percy jackson did with one of his friends betraying him and then have a battle to the death for zeus lightning bolt.

in the story the kids brother kind of betrays him by taking what is his and that is what happens in percy jackson. We had to read the first two pages of the book and find out who the first charecters are. Then we split up and read the rest of the story to figure out every charecter. Next we had to write down the ideals of each side. After that we had figure who had a conflict with who ( conflict means two people who have a arguement ). Then we had to write down the actions people took to get to there resoulution ( A resoulution means fixing a problem ).

Then we played tag with rules and the rules were no bumping into eachother, you would know the tagger, no shouting or screaming and listen to the way you are told to move. The game we played was called roleplay and to play you need to separate yourselves into four groups with five people in each group. You are given a certan scenario to act by using a respectful a non respectful approach.

We learnt how respecting other people and our enviroments benefits us.
