Problem Solving

 Today I used 'Place Value' and 'Written Algorithm' to solve math problems.

Firstly, I read the question - 'Leilani has already practiced for 24 minutes, 26 minutes and 17 minutes. She needs to practice 90 minutes. How many more minutes does Leilani have to practice?

Next I did 'Place Value'. First I did the addition of the ones which are 4+7+6=17.  Then I did the addition of tens  which is 20+20+10=50. Then I added the answer 50+17=67. Finally I subtracted 90-67=23. 

Then I did 'Written Algorithm'. First I did the addition of the ones which are 4+7+6=17. I put 7 in the ones column and put 10 in the tens column.  Then I added the tens which is 20+20+10=50 and I added 50+10=60, and I added the answer 60+7=67. Then I did 90-67=23.

Lastly, I checked If the answer was 23 and the answer was 23.

I like problem solving because it helps me to develop my math skills, but it was hard to understand.

Then I finished working on the prior knowledge new information and new understandings.

I really enjoyed this task, but I could've tried a harder text.

Water Safety

I went swimming to learn water safety.

First activity was line stroke. To do a line strok we had our hands out in front of our heads and with our legs kicking. Then we moved on to a different activity.

Second activity was arm circles. For example: We had to make circles with our arms with our legs kicking. We all successfully passed.

Last activity was dolphin diving with our hands up front and our legs kicking down. Then we got out of the swimming pools and came back to school.

I enjoyed swimming and learning more skills.

Opinions

Today leanrt what opinons means. It means a thought of people have about a topic.

First I looked at a picture of an animal. When I looked at the animal and thought what it looked like. In my opinion I saw a rabbit but other people could see a duck and a hedgehog.

Then looked at a different picture. It was a elephant with more then 4 legs. I thought and counted the legs. In my opinion there were 6 legs and it was trying to trick me.

I enjoyed this task and learning optical illusions. 

Check out the picture I found below.

This are the picture I was talking about.

This picture is a picture that I found. What do you see. (Quick hint turn the picture to the right.)

How Trebuchets Works

 Today for writing we learned about trebuchets. Trebuchets were a military weapon which could  help people break castles by punching holes in their walls.

Here is the explanation of how a trebuchet works.

Party Popper

My company created a party popper design. 

First we modelled all the parts to see which would be best. For example we used a thicker rubber band instead of a short rubber band. We tested both rubber bands to see which one would hit the cup more effectively. We found out that the thicker rubber band worked more effectively than the shorter rubber band.

Afterwards we assembled our fixes that we are going to use. We changed the small plastic cup into a bigger plastic cup and used a whiteboard marker for our weight to shoot the filling out more stronger. The whiteboard marker was very strong when shooting up to the cup.

Finally we tested all the updated design options.  All of the designed options worked very effectively and strongly. 

I learned a lot about how to design a party popper and what it needs. My company skittle poppers, and I found out that all the parts work strongly and effectively.

 LI: To make a prototype.

Table Tennis

Today for PE we learnt how to balance when using a table tennis and practicing our skills.

First we learnt how to hold a table tennis bat. We had to hold the bat like you are shaking someone hand and then make a gun shape with your hands.

Then we practiced bouncing the ball with the bat with our forehand. The forehand is the front of your hand.

After when we bouncing the ball with our forehand we bounced the ball with the backhand. The backhand is where you indexs finger is infront.

Lastly then we played a game called "Table Tennis." You have to drop the table tennis ball and hit the tennis ball with 1 bounce in my side and 1 bounce to the other side of the table.

I enjoyed this activity because it is my first time trying out tabke tennis.

Frisbee Technique

Today for PE we did some skills with a frisbee working on our body balance.

We had four activities we had to play.

First was "Passing." First we had to face our partner and I throw the frisbee to each other from using our balancing position and our side position.

The next activity was I had to stop and then catch the frisbee while being in the air but when I come back down to the ground I had to be ready to shoot the frisbee into the goal.

Lastly we played a game called "Ultimate Frisbee." I had to try and score the frisbee into the goal but I had to focus and then throw the frisbee to my teamate and we weren't alowed to go into the shooting circle also we could only hold the frisbee for only 3 seconds.

I really enjoyed this activity, but I think I'll practice more on throwing a frisbee and catching one.

Translating Names

Today for maori I practiced translating maori names to english.

First I translated the Maori name and the English name like Aperahama into Abraham.

Next I wrote Maori names with Mr and Mrs colours like brown, green, black, and white.

Then I wrote the english lettters that the maori alphabet doesn't have.  

Lastly I translated my name to a maori a name. That is Atu into Atu. My name is just as normal.

I think I need more practise on translating name from maori to english and to use the maori dictionary.

Balancing on Equiment

Today we practiced our balancing skills, but on sport equiment. 

They are: Volley ball, hockey, Soccer, Tennis, and Spoon and egg.

First was the soccer ball. We had to balance on one leg and balance the ball on our forehead. This activy was hard and fun at the same time because how we had to balance the ball on our forehead.

Next one was tennis. We had to play normaly, but we had to balance on one leg. This activy was easy because we just had to balance on one leg.

After was hockey. We tried to play hockey on one foot, but it was difficult. 

Then it was volley ball. On volley we had to pass the ball as dig and a set on on leg. This was hard because how we changed actions.

Lastly was spoon and egg. We had to streach out our arm and try to bend as low as you can. This activty was my favourtie and hard at the same time because how we bended and when we come up it is harder than going down.

Basic Fact Boxes

I completed a speed demon challenge subtracting up to 20.

I got 100/100 correct and my time was 3 minutes and 31 seconds.

Next time I am going to add up to 20 or go a harder level.

I liked this activy because it really helped me with my subtractions.

Walking With ANZAC

This week we did reciprocal reading about World War 1. The roles are Leader, Predictor, Clarifier, Questioner, and Summarizer. 

These helped us but Clarifier helped us the most because we found new words we didn't know. They helped me find new main ideas for summarising What We Invested and What We Lived.

I like this activity but Clarifier was my most favourite role because I could find tricky words and add them to my key word list. It increased my vocabulary and made my understanding clearer.

When we did What We Lived the one that helped me the most was Questioner because it questioned what we did or how we found things  out.

I like this activity but asking questions was tricky.

Simple Machines

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines?

They are wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. The 3 similar simple machines help us do work quickly, easier and faster.

Calendars

 Calendars show us the Day, Week or Month.

Ther are 12 Months in a year, they are: Junuary, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

Months have 28, 30 or 31 days. There are number patterns on a calendar by looking for four connecting days for example 20,60, 100.

Knowing before and after number Sequence and 7 timetables help us reading a calendar.

Maori

Today we learnt some objects from around the kitchen. For example oumu this means oven.

I learnt how to say Kei hea te pene rākau? this means where is the pencil.

I also learnt how to say Kei raro i te tēpu? which means the pecil is under the table.

I thought this activity was fun beacasue I thought it could help me with my maori in class. 

Balance

 In PE we looked at balancing on one leg but with PE equiment.

First was the hockey stick. We had to balance on one leg while our partner pass the hocky ball. This challange was hard because we had to bend our leg.

Seconed was the frisbee. We had to do the same thing as hockey, but when we throw the frisbee our hips move diffrent direction. This challange was hard because we had to twist our body.

Third was the basket ball. With the basket ball we had to dribble the ball three times then pass it to your partner. This was hard becase we had dibble the ball then pass it.

Forth was netball. With the netball we did the same thing with basket ball but no dribbling. This challange was easy because we just had to pass the ball.

Lastly was the rugby ball. We had to do the same thing with frisbee. This challange was hard because we had to turn side ways to pass the ball.

The ones that were hard was: Frisbee and the rugby ball. They were hard because how our hips were moving differently to the other pieces of equipment.
