Congratulations to Julian for jumping the highest out of all of us. Students got to pick which one they were use to the most.

My School Made 3D Shape

LI: To create my own 3D shape with a different capacity from volume. This week for maths we are focusing on how to make our own 3D shape out of cardboard. I learnt how to make one and where the tabs generally need to stay in. I learnt all of this by watching a video and trying to see what the net will look like and how it will work out. I worked with Nyjah and Chavda. Nyjah was the camera/editor and Chavda was the person that gave me the equipment to use. In my shape I included the capacity and the volume. The capacity is an object that can hold something.

Point of View Charts

My Problem

Dear Teacher,

I am sick of people being late and then missing out on their work. Why?maybe they live far away or maybe there is dozen of different excuses for being late. I decided to start school at 10:00 am. For no better reason either then just wasting maximum of time to learn. Students can be late because they slept it in. For more advice you should tell your parents to set you an alarm. I think that being late is such a slack for people who are being so lazy not attending to school everyday 100%.

Starting school at 10:00 am

That shows students that it is not fair for people that comes in early needing to tell others what they need to do. So instead of students trying to wake up early and lives far away e.g we should be starting school at around 10:00 am.Students want more time to have breakfast and sleep. During that time students should have a little play before starting to learn new/old things. Parents that don't go work have more time to nap before driving their kids to school.  

LI: What is a point of view.

This week for writing we are focusing on point of views. A point of view is telling the person what is the point of the story you/I read. I learnt this by reading 3 articles about trying to find the point of view and backing up some facts and opinions. I also learnt what the point of view would be if you read a story. I learnt this by working in groups and filling in a sheet of paper. It helped me by filling the piece of paper and trying to find the back ups of the fact from opinion. The task was to write about a topic including 2 pieces of paragraphs in it. Once you are finish we had to make sure that the other members in our group disagreed or agreed on out topic.

Kiwisport

LI: To jump and land like motorbike.

This week for kiwi sport we are still focusing on run,jump,throw. Today I learnt how to jump using techniques. I learnt it by practising over and over again like repetition. Our first game we played was octopus-warm up game. The taggers were Myself and Julian. It was really good to play for a warm up game/fitness. Our next warm up we played was the techniques for jumping. We kept on practising as I already said. bent knees,swing arms, and shoulder with the part. Our final game was rock paper scissors. Unfortunately I dont have a image of it but I can tell you how to play it. The game was to have spots lying in a oval. You will need to get into 2 groups. You also need to use the jumping techniques when you jump. Once you get to the middle of the oval you need to play rock paper scissor with the other team member. Whoever wins gets to keep on going while the other team member joins in.

Hauora wall-Taha Wairua

LI: To create a hauora wall. This week for Mr Ogilvie's inquiry group we focusing on hauora. I learnt that hauora has 4 meanings to it. Spiritual, Social, Physical, and mental/emotional.

I decided to draw the spiritual health wall.

Planing

LI: To create my own 3D shape with a different capacity from volume. This week and next week we are focusing on creating our own 3D shape with a different capacity and volume. I learnt how to draw a basic plan to form my 3D shape making capacity different from the volume and the volume different from the capacity.I learnt this by reading an example of what a basic plan should look like for maths. It helped me by figuring out what my plan should've been like. As you might no see clearly that I have written down a schedule of what im gonna be doing for the next 2 weeks about my 3D Cube shape.

Kiwi Can Post

LI: To control our feelings when others are with you.
This week for kiwi can our theme is still focusing on resilience. Resilience means bouncing back and coping with other challenges. Our first energiser we played was called defender. The game was to use one of your hands to be a defender. So you had to get into groups and then someone has to have the ball in their hand. The person with the tennis ball has to try and get it between there legs. If they get it between there legs that person is out. Our next energiser was questions. Mr Malu had to ask questions and then we had to write the answers down. After writing down the answers we then had to get 2 students from each group to present the answer. Finally the last game was sit doge ball. Mr malu had to count us off and then we had to form a big circle. Mr Malu had to call out a group number then, that group number had to run in the middle and the people in the circle has to try and throw the ball to the group in the middle.  

Main Idea Summary

Text title: The Island

Author:

I think the main idea of this text is That Jordan encourages Lincoln about how to get what you want not what you need,

One example of a supporting detail is Jordan tells him it is a little bit part of kindness and charms.

Another example of a supporting detail is that a voice said remember to be pleasant and polite when entering our Island.

It is clear that the main idea is That Jordan encourages Lincoln about how to get what you want not what you need because Jordan tells him it is a little bit part of kindness and charms. A voice had spoken saying remember to be pleasant and polite when entering our Island.

LI:To Separate fact from opinion. This week we are still focusing on Fact or Opinion. Fact means something that is true and has been proofed and Opinion is something that we feel and think. I learnt how to give the main idea while watching videos. I learnt this by watching short segments and writing the forms of fact from opinion. It helped me by watching the video 2-3 times trying to memorise some facts and opinion listing them down. Our task was to watch videos and then after doing that we had to list down some facts and opinions. After doing that we had to fill in the main idea summary and write down more things about it.

I learnt that a net can happen in 3D shapes only. I also learnt how to unfold a shape. I learnt this by watching a video about nets and forming the right follow ups based on how to make a net from a 3D shape. As you can see that I've drawed 3D net shapes. A square pyrimaid,Traingluar prism, and a trianglur pyrmaid. Our session with the class was to figure out what a net was called and also find out how to draw it.

Kiwisport-Run,Jump,Throw

LI: To understand where and what to do when running in starts. This term for kiwi sport we will be focusing on Run,Jump,throw. Last week we worked on sprints but for this week we are working on how to start a run. Our first game was warm up. The line we were standing on was here, the middle line was there, and the line at the really end was where, and the final option was everywhere which meant we had to run everywhere. Andy had to call out here,there,where or everywhere while we were running to the right spots. Next we played another game called spots. Instead of using spots we decided to use cones. So the game was to face to you partner and once Andy claps we have to get up run to our cones and come back with it to the middle ile. Who ever wins out of the 2 partners they get a point for their whole team-Group A & B. We all were winners today. After that we learnt how to start a race. The words to start was On you marks,set, go. You are not allowed to look side to side otherwise someone comes at the side of you and finishes the race. Boys had a practise and then girls had a practise.

Kiwi Can Post

This week in Kiwi Can we have been learning all about what we feel in the inside of ourselves. Today our Kiwi can leaders were Mr Malu and Ms lotoya. I learnt how to control my feelings when others are in front of me. It helped when we started doing energisers and activity based on physical emotions. For the past few weeks our catch phrase haven't change. Kiwi can says emotions are what we feel, let others know, whats the deal. Our first energiser was called selfie sticks. So the game was to get into a square. Next Mr Malu had to call out a emotion pointing at the group that had to do it. The group that got picked had to get up and then act out the emotion with one person holding the selfie stick. However if one of the teams dosent act out the emotion fairly there team will be illuminated.Our next game was called emotional papers. Everybody had to work together sorting out the feelings from worst to good. We weren't able to sort it out at the first time. Potentially if Mr Malu sees anything that is not in the right place he would take it out of the order and then we will need to replace back to the right place.

Skimming and Scanning

LI: To identify the differences between skimming and scanning. This week we had to skim and scan through an article called Duck Overboard. I am putting this up on other. We had to find photos and write information about the differences further from skim and scan. An aeroplane is an skim object because it flys straight and an helicopter is a scan object because it hovers.

Our session with Mr Wong to learn about what scale is and scale the shapes Triangle by 2,square by 3, and hexagon by 4.Our task was to draw 4 sided irregular polygons using scale factors for a partner but from a different group.After that we had another task to do. The other task was a choice. We got to either make a video,slide with voice instruction, or an graphic. I decided to work with Sakina and Victoria. I had to work together with Sakina and Victoria writing down set of instructions on how to scale a shape on a grid.I learnt how to draw irregular polygons and trying to make it bigger using divisions. I learnt this by doing a class session with Mr Wong's group and starting off with some simple irregular shapes.

We also had a checklist of questions to complete as well. I learnt about giving more detail to questions on adverts. It helped me develop more ideas to verify if it was real or not. I learnt it by watching adverts and trying to match it to the questions based on what has happened in the video.
