Writting | America's Cup

I completed a task based on the America's Cup.

First I gathered the main ideas for the America's Cup.

After I gathered the main ideas I summarised the information. I chose 20 words then I chose the six most important out of the 20 words. After we used the 6 words to write the text in a few sentences.

Lastly I evaluated the information.

These three of the strategies helped me with the main points, summarizing and Evaluating the text.

AFL Training

Today we went to practise AFL with our coache Andre.

We kept practising the skills we learnt from last session but we also learnt new skills like a Tackle and a Ruck. 

We first practised the basic skills like kicking and passing.

Then we were taught how to tackle and a ruck.

An AFL tackle is where you wrap your arms around a player bweteen there hips and there shoulders and try to bring them to the ground. But we tackled each other on our knees because this is the first time we practised a tackle.

A ruck is where one person throws the ball in the air and 2 players from diffrent teams have to try and hit the ball down a ruck is also used in Basket Ball. 

I need to work on my kicking because when we played bomb the teachers I missed all my attempts. 






Place Value and saying Numbers

Place Value is a system that groups numbers based on there size.  

The postion of a digit determins its value. When we say numbers we group them with in the same house. For example 15, 709 has Fifften thousands, Seven hundreds and Nine ones.


Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also qllows us to identify numbers before and after.


LI: to read numbers larger than 999.

Moon Ball | Team work

We played a game of Moon Ball to help with our teamwork.

First we talked as a group about what teamwork is. Our answers were collaborating, listening to each other, respect etc.

Then we had an activity where we had to make the ball move with out touching the ball. We all tried blowing at the ball from one side but we couldn't move it. It turns out we could of used other things like a jumper to create enogh air to move the ball.

The last activity was one person in each team had to put on a blind fold and the person with the blind fold on had to hit the ball once. This activity was the hardest out of all of them.

This game of Moon Ball helped improve with our teamwork but sometiomes it made our group stressed.
