Multiplacation Algorithim

.
LI: To learn about algorithim
This week for maths we had to make a slideshow about algorithim.

We could eather make our algorithim slide about the 4 topics I have already talked about in my last maths blog post. But I will just show you: Multiplacation, Subtraction, Addition and Divsion. If you don't know what algorithim means then I will tell you. Algorithim is helped by place value. To learn more about algorithim watch the slide above. I enjoyed learning about algorithim and would like to do it again. I learnt algorithim by focusing on my work.

Kiwi Can

LI: To learn about respecting our inviorment
This week for Kiwi Can we had a new topic called respect for our inviorment. For our energizer we had to play a game called 4 courners.

To play we had to get one person in the middle and the rest of the people. They would have a certain amount of time until the person in the middle would choose what corner was the loudest. whatever corner they picked and the amount of people in that courner would be out for that round. For our game we played invisible touch rugby. If you want to learn more about this game look for the label Kiwi Can and read those blogpost ( or quickly go threw them ) and you will find it there. I learnt by listening to the Kiwi Can leaders.

Inquiry: Peace

LI: To explore the definitions of peace
This week for inquiry we had to make a DLO ( Digital Learning Object ) Talking about peace. First we would have to make a group of 5. After we had done that we had to list down some synonyms and antonyms around peace.

We had about 15 minutes to do this. When the 15 minutes was up we had to report back to our teacher on what words we had discovered. Then we would have to split eachother into to groups and pairs. One half would make a group of 3 and the other had to make a pair. When we made the DLO we had to look at 9 different photo's that were peace or conflict. We had to write down three words that described the photo when we saw it. After we finished that we had to write one sentence based on one of the three words that we chose. After we had completed that task we had to write a sentence from the persons perspective. The last thing we had to do was make a poster about peace and then put it on the slide. I learnt by listening to what I had to do and focusing on it. 

Boxing

LI: To learn about counter attack.
This week for Boxing we had to learn about the different counter attacks. We had to get into pairs. One pair would have liners and boxing gloves. The second pair would have 2 pool noodles to coach the boxer.

The first combo we learnt included guard, cross, left hook and another cross. When we did our guard our partner would have smack our gloves then we would put our hands down to do the boxing combo that we learnt from last week. The second combo I learnt included bridge, then to bridge forward, cross then and a left hook. When we did our bridge our partner had to try and hit us before we could bridge away. 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.

Infering

LI: To Infer thoughts and emotions
This week for reading we had to watch a video called " For the birds". Once we completed watching the video we had to complete a slide show. We were first told to make 2-3 inference's. 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 ).
