Fractions

This week we Identifyed fractions.

Fractions are a whole divided into  pieces.

Fractions have something call a numerator and a denominator.

The denominator is the number at the bottom of a fraction. It shows you how much pieces there are.

The numerator is the number above a fraction. It shows you how much pieces you have.

This task was a little easy because some of the gaps were already filled in.

Afterwards we did our own logo and our own motto. My motto was work hard dont give up then you can achieve what ever you can belive.

Addition and subtraction

Addition and Subtraction can be solved by using two strategies: counting on/back, rounding and compensating.

Counting on is adding foward using fingers when the number is added is under ten. Counting back is subtracting using fingers, when the number subtracted is under ten.

Rounding and compensating is rounding the added or subtracted number to the nearest tidy number, then compensating for the rounding. Compensating is done by splitting the new number into the old number and the leftover.

Counting on/back and rounding and compensating are easy strategies for addition and subtraction, when numbers get to big to be solved with basic facts.

Duffy Theatre

The whole school and I watched the Duffy show

First they sang a song and introduced themselves. There were three actors and they played different roles. The roles were Duffy, Duffy's mum, Duffy's, Duffy's, sister, Duffy's aunty, and Duffy's teacher.

Afterwards Duffy and his sister were at her aunt's farm then Duffy went on his online class and started his homework while Duffy was completing his homework his aunty asked him to drive the tractor

To finish up Duffy got into an argument with his favorite because she ruined his book by sanitising his favorite book after the argument he fell in a hole and in that hole there was his aunties favorite chicken.

There was also a pile of bones that were Moa bones his aunty and his sister helped him get up. Duffy forgave his sister and became famous because the museum came to their house and took the bones and the news contacted Duffy and he became famous. in the end everyone was happy

I enjoyed the show because it showed teamwork.

SSR Selfie | Reading

This book talks about Alex Rider being the only one who can stop Sir Dmian Cray the most popular man in the world who is secertly a mad man bent on destruction.

I enjoyed reading this book because it has a lot of action and detail. 

Party Popper | Prototype

My company and I tested different parts of the party popper

First we chose what size rubber band we would want to use.

Then we started on the striker. We chose a pen as our striker because there is a part that would make the pen stay connected to the rubber band.

Finally we assembled the prototype we made a small hole in the bottom of the cup and pushed the rubber band through the hole. Next I placed a tooth pick and connected it with the rubber band so it could stay on. Next we took a photo of the prototype.

My group and I learnt a lot about how to make prototypes.

Maths | Measuring

My group and I learnt how to measure capacity and temperature.

First we measured capacity. We used two small cylinders and two big cylinders.

Then we filled the small cylinders with water up to 8 mls and 16 mls. Afterwards we filled the big cylinders with water up to 162 ml and 192 mls.

Next we measured the temperatur of the water in a small lunch box. We used thermometers to help us measure the temperature of the water. 

I enjoyed this task because I learnt a lot about measuring capacity and temperature.

Maths | Speed Demon Challange

I completed the speed demon challenge. 

I did subtraction up to five I got 100/100. 

My time was 3 minutes and 22 seconds.

HPE | Tables Tennis

Today we used table tennis equpment to help us with balance.

First Mr Ogilvie tought us how to hold a table tennis bat. We hold it like we are doing a handshake and then we hold the back side like a gun.

Then we were trying to bounce the ball on our table tennis bat by using our forehand as many times as we could I bounced it 65 times then it fell.

Then we bounced the ball again but with our backhand I bounced it 50 times then the ball fell.

Lastly we were playing a game of table tennis the challenger was the one that does the serve. The serve name was drop serve we had to drop the ball and hit it after it bounced I was the champion in that game.

This was easy because I was always the person who had the bonced the ball the most and been the champian the most.

Maori

We revised all the things we learnt during the past term. 

First we played a game were we had to try and memorise the cards. We also had to say the words that matched the picture on the card.

Then I answered some questions in Maori. I used the Maori dictionary to help me. One of the questions were: ko wai to hoa? Which means who is your friend. 

This task was a bit difficult because I had to use the Maori Dictionary.

Introduction

We learnt how to write three diffrent types of introductions.

My first introduction was a basis fact. A basic fact is something that is true. Glass is a material used all over the world. This transparent material is made from silica sand, soda ash and limestone.

The next Introduction I did was a question hook. A quesiton hook is trying to make the reader read the text with interesting information. Did you know that the history of glass making dates back over 3,600 BC?

The last introduction I did was a explain emotion. Explain emotion is trying to get the reader to have an emtional feeling while reading the text. If glass didn't exist every structure would be dark and make it hard to see. This is why mixing silica sand, soda ash and limestone is one of the most important processes in the world.

Reading | Skimming and Scanning

This week we used skimming and scanning to understand a book called Against the odds. 

Scanning is the same as skimming but scanning is hovering over a text and trying to look for the the main facts. 

Skimming is the same but skimming is just going thorugh the text without stoping.       

For this activty I used skimming and scanning. I used skimming to find the keywords and use thoses keywords to find more information. I used scanning to find the main ideas so I could understand the text more and to put my facts into chronlogical order.

Next I made a table mat to find keywords, facts, ect.

I learnt a lot from doing this activty cause skimming and scanning helped by helping me find keywords and learning a lot about paralympics and other texts. 

HPE | Balancing

We used some frisbee equipment and techniques to help with our balancing.

First we got into pairs and threw the frisbee to our partner.

Next we played catch we tried to to balance while runing and jumping to catch the frisbee and to stop instantly.

Then we used technique that we used to catch the frisbie to try to stop in a position to get the frisbie inside the goal.

Lastly we played ultimate frisbee we used the same technique that we learnt during the activities we did.  that we did to play ultimate frisbee.

I think I need some more practise with my catching because I sometimes couldn't catch the frisbee.

Maori | Questions

I continued translating questions and answers in Maori.

First, we revised the questions. "Kei hea te aporo? Kei roto i te peke."

After we copied and pasted the questions from our google doc to our google slide and then added the pictures that we made next to the questions.

This activity was a little hard because the pictures were a little hard to draw.

Coding | Maths

We learnt the four basic turns.

They are 1/4, 1 half turn, 3/4, and 1 full turn. 

The two direction are clockwise and anti clockwise.

Skimming and Scanning | New Zealand Film-makers

This week we used skimming and scanning to understand a book called New Zealand Film-makers.

Skimming is like a airiplane you look for key words only. Scanning is being a helicopter you stop on a paragraph when seeing information.

Next I made a table mat to find keywords, find facts, ect. After I shared my work with the other people in my group for them to proofread it.

Finally I wrote some questions that the author might of thought of before writting the book and the questions I thought about while reading the book.

I enjoyed this activity because skimming and scanning to helped make this task easier.

Writing | Explanation Topic Planner

I commpleted a Explanation Topic Planner.

First we choose a topic we would like to write about.

Next we wrote three mechanism about the topic we are writting about and show our information sorce.

Then we added cause and effect.

Then we had to pick another topic.

I thought this was challenging for me because I only finished one and I was working on my second.

School Values

Our school values are Confidence, Attitude, Respect and Excellance and inivation. C.A.R.E

Confidence 

We have the confadence to take this risks with our learning and share our learning with others, we are focused on our futures.

Attitude 

We show a positive attitude to our learning by making good choices and we participate in all opportunities.

Respect

We are tolerant and respectful of all the people in our community and take care of our environment.

Excellance and innovation 

We set ourselves challanging goals, share ideas and think about our learning.

During our HPE session Group B was not able to follow the instructions that were givin to us and do things we were not supposed to do.

Questions

We learnt a variety of different sentences in Maori.

First I looked at the sentences and where the fruit were placed like in a bag.

Next I wrote sentences using runga, raro and roto. For example Kei hea te panana? Kei roto i te pouaka makariri is where is the banana the  it is in the fridge.

I need to practise because I kept on getting stuck.

Writing | Cause & Effect Introduction

We wrote a cause and effect sentence for each of our mechanisms for Chocolate making and how Fireworks work.

Chocolate

Chocolate is made by liquifying the cocoa pods together with sugar and other ingredients by heating them.This chocolate liquid is then poured into a mold so it can set and harden. The size of the mold affects the size of the finished chocolate when it is cooled.

Fireworks

A cylindrical paper containing the parts of the firework has a fuse inside it which can be lit. Stars, cubes or spheres containing the chemicals are needed for the reaction to add colour A bursting charge in the firework's center contains gunpowder which makes the noise. A fuse with a time delay ensures the shell explodes high in the sky and allows you to be away at a safe distance.


Next time I will write a better introduction and add more writing to my introduction.

Maths | Basic Facts Boxes

I completed a seed demon challenge.

My time was 4 minutes and 52 seconds. 

Next time I will do basic facts boxes to 100 hundred because up to 20 was to easy for me.

Reciprocal Reading

We used Reciprocal Reading to read two PDFs Where We Lived and What we invested.

First we decided who the leader would  be. The leader is the person who assigns the roles to the group and introduces the text.

Next we decided who the predictor would be. The predictor scans the section of text that you are about to read and predictits what the next page will be about. 

We  then decided who the clarifier would be. The the clarifier identifies tricky words, pharses, or ideas and shares them with the group.

 We decided who the questioner would be. The questioner asks questions about the text and encourages group members to elaborate on their answers and give evidence.

Lastly we decided who the summeriser would be. The summeriser thinks of the main ideas in the section we've just read.

I enjoyed being the leader because I got to introduce the new text and I believe I allocated roles to my group members well. We worked well as a team.

Writing | Cause and Affect

We wrote cause and affect sentences for butterflies. 

First we wrote the cause and effect sentences on the first stage of a caterpillar which is the eggs.

Next we wrote the cause and effect sentences on the second stage of a caterpillar which is when the egg hatches into a caterpillar.

After we wrote the cause and effect sentences on the third stage which is the chrysalis.

Afterwards we wrote the cause and effect sentences on the last stage which is the butterfly.

Lastly we put an explanation of the life cycle of the butterfly.

This was fun because I got to learn about cause and effect.

Reciprocal Reading

We used Reciprocal Reading to help us read the text Maori Pioneer Battalion.

First we decided who the leader will be. The leader is the person who assigns the roles to the group and introduces the text.

After we decided who the predictor would be. The predictor scans the section of text that you are about to read and predictits what the next page will be about. 

We decided who the clarifier would be the the clarifier identifys tricky words, pharses, or ideas and shares them with the group.

Then we decided who the questioner would be. The questioner asks questions about the text and encorages group members to elaborate on their answers and give evidence.

Lastly we decided who the summeriser would be. The summeriser thinks of the main ideas in the section you just read. 

The Three Simulair Simple Machine

There are three simple machines that are all similar in some way. They are the wege, the lever, and the incline plane.

Maths | Speed Demon Challenge

I attempted the speed demon challenge. I got 100/100. 

My time was 4 minutes and 56 seconds. 

I will practise my basic fact because I could of gone faster.

Writing

Cause and effect fit within the mechanism structure of an explanation.

Cause is where something happens. 

Effect is what something or someone is doing before the cause happens.

An example of cause is every bulding in the city was destroyed.

An example of an effect is Nick slipped.

An a casual language for example therefore.

Below is an activity you can practice this with. Make a copy.

 I 

By using cause an effect it will highlight what a mechanism does.

Maths | Time Difference

I learnt how to find time differences.

First I started by adding 35 minutes to 1:50 then the time was 2:25. Then I added the hours but there were no hours so my time was zero hours hours and thirty five minutes difference.

I thought I was a bit slow finding time differences so I need more practise.

Manners | PB4L

Manners are used for showing respect to others. 

You can use manners when someone greets you and give something to you.

Manners can be used when someone opens the door for you. Manners are also used when talking to your teachers etc.

Manners show that you are respectful and not rude. 

some examples of manners are may i, please, thank you, your welcome, eye contact and a polite voice.

Manners should be used everywhere.

 

Time

We solved time equstions.

First we answered the questions.

After we showed how we worked out the answer.

Lastly we discussed our results with Mr Ogilvie.

I thought this task was esay because I know about time.

Simple Machines

We looked for simple machines in our school. They are: Inclined plane, wedge, lever, pulley, wheel and axel, and screw.

A inclined plane is used to move things from low ground to high ground.

A pulley is used tomove things from a high point to a low point just like our flag.

A lever is used to lift up heavy objects.

A screw is used to hold objects together.

A wedge is used to separate objects.

Wheel and axel helps move things easier. 

Reading | Harry's War Keyword

All texts include a range of words to share information with the reader.

Key words are words are words that unlock hidden information.

key are used in a specific way. An example of a key word is conscientious objectors a reminder of conscientious objectors an individual who has claimed the right to refuse to perform military service.\

Key words can also summerise texts by telling the main point of the text.

Key words can expand your volabulary for example latrine is another word for toilet but a latrine doesin't flush.

key words can help people unlock main infromation.

LI: to use key words to retell a text

Balancing

We did balancing activitys in our enviromint.

Today we took a range of photos to show balancing. 

The first image was an image of my group balancing on a wall.

The second photo showed us balancing using play ground equipment.

The third photo showed us balancing using play ground equipment with the assistance of someone.

I enjoyed this activity because I can use some of these preposition like can you get me a bag of chips from tera.

Explanation | The Luge

I learnt how to write an explanation about how something works. First I chose a topic to write an explanation about. I chose about how the Luge works.

After I wrote the introduction about my topic. The luge is a famous place in New zealand. It is in the sky line of rotura.

Next I wrote down the mechanisms about the Luge. The luge requires carts to ride on the track. This allows people to ride to the bottom. The luge also requires people to control the carts. This prevents the carts from falling off the edge and a track for the carts to ride on. This allows for the carts to ride easily.

Lastly I wrote down the summary. The luge requires carts for people to ride on people to control the carts and a track for the carts to ride on.

Next time I will try to be more specific with my mechanisims .

Balance

We learnt about balancing. We used different techniques to help us with it.

Balance is being in a steady position so you do not fall. 

The first balance activity we did was balancing on a beam while people try cross it.

The second activity was balancing on a foot ball you had to stay in a steady position.

I wasn't very good at balancing on the football because big movments and couldnt regain balance.

Time

Today I learnt to tell the time.

First I started by reading the hour hand which was on the 6.

The I looked at the minute hand which was on the 3.

lastly I read the time which was 6:15

This activity helped me learn anolog time better than I did before since I always read digital time.

Simple Machines

Simple machines are tools that are used to make work easier. There are six diffrent simple machines: a wedge, a screw, a pulley, a lever, a incline plane, and a wheel and axle.

A wedge is simple machine it is a triangular shaped tool used to split things in half.

A screw is another simple machine that holds an object in place.

A pulley is simple machine that uses a rope and a wheel this tool is used to lift objects from a low point to high point. 

A lever is used for lifing objects and measuring weight. 

A incline plane simple machine that is also used to lift objects like a heavy box.

A wheel and axle is used to move heavy objects by pushing it to make it roll.

 

Maori

I learnt questions that could help me in the class room.

The first question I learnt was Kua marama which means ( do you under stand, the second question was Kua mutu which means (finished finished?)

I will practis these questions so I could use them.

Team Work

Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork conists of three main mechanisms.

Communication is talking to each other. An example of what communication is in dodgeball is when a team member's name gets called out to pass the ball.

Cooperation is working together for a common purpose or benefit. An example of collaboration is when the whole team works together to try and win the game.

Collaboration is working together. An example of what collaboration is in dodgeball is when someone throws the ball at someone and they are warned by their teamates.

This video shows the mechanesim of calloboration .

This video shows the mechanesim of communication. 

This video shows the mechanesim of cooperation. 

To be succsessful as a team all three mechanisms need to be implemented throughout the activity.

SSR Selfie

I read 6 pages of The Scarecrow walks at midnight.

This book is about Jodie who visits her grandparents farm. This summer some weird things have happend on the farm. The corn field is sparse, the single scarecrow was replaced with 12 evil looking ones and the corn is infensted with worms.she is trying to find out whats happing to her grandparents farm.

I thought this was a good book and wish to read the whole seris.
