Reading | Play
LI: To build Expression.
For the past couple of weeks we have been doing plays and building on our expression. When we did our second play the part I enjoyed was watching sione T get "chucked" off the "boat". The most difficult part was stomping my left leg because my left leg was injured. I think that in the future I could use more expressions. I think my oral language improved by alot since the start of school. I don't think that there is anything that the teacher can change because I felt comfortable doing it the way we did.

Maths | Calculating Capacities
LI: To measure and work out different capacities.
Capacity is how much an object can hold. For our must do we measured capacity, to measure capacity you have to fill the object with water and pour that into a measuring cup and the number it is on is the amount of water you'll have. We also had word problems to solve.
Inquiry | Earth and Beyond
This week was the first week of our second rotation for Inquiry, LS1 and LS2 are joining together to learn more about space. We needed to use our prior knowledge about space to help us with our first activity which was a bus stop task that I worked together with Ong and Alex to complete. After that we watched a video on space and the planets in our solar system, we learnt things like Neptune rains diamonds and Venus is the hottest planet.

Inquiry | Rockets
LI: to build your own rockets
For Inquiry we started building our straw rockets. Our independent variable (the thing that we changed) was different nose cones. We mad one with a round nosecone, one with a flat nosecone and one with a pointy nosecone. Lastly we wrote our distances and the flat nosecone had the best average with a distance of 2 m and 50 cm and our hypothesis (prediction) was proven wrong because we chose the pointy nosecone.

Reading | Play Summarisation
LI: To build expression
This week in reading we learnt about how to express our feelings using our words. We had to read our character lines that we have chosen in our story. When we perform our play we won't have anything to read of so reading our character lines gave us more practice. On the flipgrid response we had to summarise our play as our characters expression and emotion. The expression I used for my character was anger and one of my lines were " This is your final notice to leave this mooring ".

Kiwi Can
LI: To do things without being asked.
This week in Kiwi Can our topic was responsibilty and our theme was integrity. Our new catch phrase was " Responsible is what I am, thats the way of Kiwi Can ". We spoke as a group about the different responsibilities and what being responsible means. For our enregizer we had to pass the keys around in a circle while someone was in the middle trying to listen for the keys. The person in the middle has to point were the keys are. Our activity was called responsibility web. In that game we had to use skipping ropes to balance a ball in the middle while working together. Once it was balanced we had to walk from one side of the room to the other without the ball dropping.

Stardome
LI: To learn about our solar system.
Today some people from LS1 went to stardome to learn about our solar system. Stardome is a place that you can learn about space and other space related things. The first place we got to take a look at is the space room. In the spaceroom they taught us about the different things, stars and planets in our solar system. Our next task was to complete a quiz. We had ipads that had a photo and a question on them. To find out the question we had to find the photo and read what it says on it. While doing the quiz we were split up into teams and had different planet or moon names. Lastly we went to the planetarium to watch a movie about weather in space. The thing I found intresting is that there is a constellation called Betelgeuse and in another language it translates to armpit.

This week for writing the task was us making a DLO about cause and effect. We also learnt about casual words or phrases. Cause is what happens and effect is why it happened. Cause and effect are just two ideas, two join them together we use casual words or phrase's. Casual words or phrase's can make cause and effect ideas not only join , but they make them make sense. This week I learned by making a cause and effect poster with my group. I learnt this by being taught by Mr Ogilvie. The tool I used was my chromebook and the app I used was google drawing.
Kiwisport | Gymnastics
LI: To develop body movements of Balance, Rotation & Strength.
This week for Gymnastics the stretches we did first were L shape, Seal, Butterfly, Cat, Straddle, Back/Front/Side Support.
Rotation 1
the first rotation included a beam were we had to walk backwards on, A box that we could try and to a cartwheel on and a bench that we had to do a forward role on.
Rotation 2
The second rotation included a trampoline that we had to jump on and in the air we had to do a star or starfish shape. In the second rotation we also did a backwards role down a ramp, Scopion handstands and a 180 degree jump off a board.
Rotation 3 & Reflection
The final rotation included a handstand, Front support, Parallel bars and a back/side/front support. We had to do our front support but on a cart. We did our handstand against a wall and put each leg out strait for 3 seconds. You can found out what we had to do on the parallel bars on last weeks blog post and the back/side/front support was the same as last weeks but our hands were on the ground this time.
I found the cartwheel on a box hard to do so next week I will try and do more of that.

Kiwi Sport | Gymnastics
LI: To explore our gymnastics skills.
This week for Kiwi Sport we did gymnastics. Our gymnastics teacher Steve Asked us to do some warmups before we started. Our warmups were stretches to make sure we were flexible and wouldn't injure our selves.
The stretches we did were:
1. L shape - A L Shape is sitting on the ground stretching your legs infront of you and putting your arms strait up in the air.
2. Back/Front/Side Support - A Front support is like doing a push up but being frozen when you go up. A back support is the same as a front support but your doing it on your back and you have your fingers facing your toes so that if you fall you can bend your arm. Lastly a side support is like the front and back support but you're on your side and you have one arm on the left or right and the other arm strait up in the air.
3. Butterfly wing stretch - A Butterfly wing stretch is when you curl yourself up into a a ball but then you have to move your legs apart and then you put your hands on your feet and flap your legs as there butterfly wings.
4. Tuck - A tuck is you curling up into a ball and putting your hands on both of your shins but just so that you don't get black eyes you seperate your legs so that your face can fit in the middle.
5. Seal - A seal is lying on your stomach and putting your hands near your chest and then pushing your upper body up while leaving your lower body on the floor.
We had three stations and they all focused on something. Station one focused our supports, Station two focused on our balance and station 3 focused on our rolling and there was some balance. One thing I did in station 3 was a forward roll down a small slope and a box.

Today for commenting I commented on my friend Andrew's blog post about SSR Selfie. In my comment I had to include what the blogpost or DLO might need changing so that we can help them learn on what to improve on.
SSR Selfie
This week for SSR Selfie my book was called Force and Motion. My book is non-fiction and it tells you about what force and motion is and how it works. I also had to answer questions like what the book title is, who the author is, who the illustrator or photographer is and more on the slide above. I learnt how to do this by being shown by Mr Wong. The tools I used to learn this skill were just my chromebook.
Maths | Expanding Horizons
LI: To learn adding in parts and place value adding. .
Mr Wong's maths groups had made a chart for adding in parts and place value addition. Mr Wong had linked us into a PDF which had four different problems in it. We had to work out these problems using these strategies.
What is Place Value Addition? - Place value addition is when you have big or small amount numbers for example 3285 + 3728. You first add the ones up to the biggest place value unit in the number. The biggest place value unit is thousands.
What is adding in parts? - Adding in parts is also when you have numbers. You need to try find teh answer by making tidy/super tidy numbers. ( A tidy/super tidy number is numbers ending with 0. A super tidy number is a number that has more than 2-3 0's.). You need to add the numbers that you think is the most tidiest numbers.

This week in writing we learnt how to write a simple, compound and complex sentence. A simple sentence is just one idea. A compound sentence is 2 simple sentences and a conjunction ( For, And, Nor, But... ). And a complex sentence begins with a conjunction and seperates the ideas with a comma. I learnt this by being taught by Mr Wong.
Basic Facts
LI: To remember basic facts
This week for basic facts I had to answer which are addition, subtraction, multiplacation and division. I did Addition and subtraction up to 5 because I knew it would be quick for me to complete.

The first part to complete this task was to choose six new or instersting from the play. Next we had to Define 3 of those new or intresting words. Lastly we had to summarize what the play is about in 25 words or under. Then we were tasked with another goal. We had to write down 4 of our lines in the play and then write who we are saying our lines to. We also had to write the expression/emotion that we will use when saying our lines. Lastly for our 2nd task we had to write down what our charecter is trying to achieve and words that portrait your charecter. The final task was to run through the whole play with Mr Ogilvie. I learnt this skill by being taught by Mr Ogilvie. The tools I used were just my netbook.

Sailing
LI: To learn how to sail.
This week 18 kids went out to have a go at sailing with the volvo sailing club. Huge thanks to Rotary and Yaughting New Zealand for letting us have a chance at sailing because I loved what happened down there and it wouldn't of been posible without them letting us come down and have an amazing time sailing. Our instuctors were called Justin, Steven and J.R. The first step we learnt to become sailers was to assemble your boat with your partner. Me and Spelman had to try and not be hit by the boom because that nearly happened to me last year. Next we put on some sunblock and had some morning tea before we started sailing because we were out there for 2 hours. We had a toilet break and then we started our sailing. We sailed 3 and a half to nearly 4km ( kilometers ) but we sailed around about 3.37km. Once we got back we had some food, more sunblock and another toilet break. for the last sail we got wet and wild. The instuctors threw little balls and squirt guns out into the water for us to get. One of my favourite bits was to stand on the front of other people's boats including Mr Wong's. then we were allowed to cap size our boats in order to earn our certifacate. Then we all sailed back got changed filled out a form and left. We learnt this skill by being taught by the intsructors ( Justin, Steven and J.R ).

Maori | Legend of Mt Mangunui
LI: To learn about Mt Mangunui and how it is where it is now.
This week the year 5's learnt about the legend of Mt Mangunui and how it was moved into place. After Whaea Odie read us the legend of Mauao ( Mt Mangunui ) we had to search up places on google maps related to the legend of Mauao. The places we searched up were Hairini, Maungatapu, Waimapu River and Kaimai. The tools I used to do this were my netbook and the apps I used was just google maps. I learnt this information by being taught by Whaea Odie.
