Littering

I did persuasive agruement based on littering. 

My arguement is to stop littering beacause its bad for the enivoment. I went to websites to find information about why littering is bad. 

I wrote an exaplaintion why littering is bad to persuaive people to not litter. I linked all my topics with my websites. 

This was a good activty to help me persuaive people to win an arguement based on facts and good reasons.

QAR questions

I used QAR template and Synthesis template to help me with a text called pointless, painful, physical education. This text was a persuasive text pesuasive means to change someones beliefs. 

First I did the synthesis egg teplate, for this task I wrote my prioyknowldge, new information, and new understandings. My prioyknowledge is something that I already know. New information is something that I know now, and new understandings is things that I understand about the text. 

After I answerd all the questions and put them in the boxes: right there, think and search, author and you, and  on my own. 

-right there means the answer is in the text. 

- think and search means the answer is in the text but you have to search and think about the answer in the text

- author and you mean the answer is no in the text but you use your background knowldge.

- on my own means the answer is in your own understandings. 

Skimming/ 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. 

Values

 In partnership with our community our values are condensed down wirh C.A.R.E 

Confidence

We have the confidence to take risks with our learning and to share our learning with others, we are focussed on our futures. 

Attitude

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

Respect

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

Excellence and inavation

We set ourselves challenging goals, Share ideas, and think about our learning. 

These are important to follow beacause first there our school values and if you follow them your being respectful to others and our school also beacause there showing manners everywhere you go if you use them not just in our school. 

Balancing

Balancing is moving your body in ways that will help you balance better. 

The first activty was using a tennis rackect and a ball this activty was based on trying to balance on one leg by swinging the racket across your body and facing you cheast away from your partner. 

Next we did an activty using a hockey stick and a ball this was based on trying to stop the ball by balancing on one leg and hitting the ball back to our partner. 

The third activty was using a spoon and an egg this was based on spoon and egg as far away from your body as possible, this was using the power of your hips too help you come back  up.

The fourth activty was using a soccer this was based on using the power of your hips to help push your leg up and down for the ball to not go everywhere. 

The last activty was using a vollyball this was based on trying to use your leg to push up and down to help push the ball to your partner. 

Simple machines

 Did you know that there are the simple machines that help people build and work more easier. These are three simillar simple machines, The wheel and axels, Pulley's, and Screw. 

Kitchen items

We did an activty about kitchen iteams. 

I found 6 photos of kitchen iteams and labled the engilish words for the kitchen iteams. 

Then I used used the maori dictionary to help with the maori words for the kitchen iteams. 

I enjoyed this activty beacause I learnt lots of maori words for kitchen iteams. 

Balance

We did 5 diffrent activities that envoled balance, For every activity we stood on one leg.

. 

The first activity involed a frizby, for this activty we I standed on one leg facing my partner. This was easy beacause I could use my leg to help me by moving my leg side to side and forward and backwards. 

 The secound activty involed a basketball, this was also easy cause I could use my move around using my leg and that helped me balance . 

The third acttivty involed a netball, this was easy cause I could use my leg that was off the ground to help me balance. 

The fourth acttivty we did was the rugbyball this was easy cause I could controll my balance.  

       

The last activty was hokey this was hard cause I could'nt stop the ball from moving around when I was standing on one leg.

Calendars

 Calendars show us the day, week, or month. 

There are 12 months in the year, they are; Januray, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. 

Months have 28, 30, or 31 days. 

There are number patterns on a calender by looking for four connecting days for example 20, 60 and 100. 

Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 times tables helps us read a calender. 

Passing

 I learnt how to tell people to pass an object to the left. 

The first thing I did was revising the words that I learnt for the pass few weeks which was tenei, tena, tera. which means next to me, near me, and way over there. 

The last thing I did  learnt how to tell someone to pass an obeject to the left.  Which was hoatu te (obeject) ki te taha maui. 

 This was hard beacause I got mixed up with the Maori words. 

Manners

Manners are about using respectful words when asking for something. Manners are also about using the right actions when speaking to someone or listening to someone. 

Manners can also be used by saying thank you, may I, pardon me, sorry, eye contact and saying the person's name etc. 

The first video shows about how to greet the teachers and other people by using eye contact and addressing them with their name. 

The secound video shows about how to act when someone opens the door for someone else and helping each other out by opening the door. 

The last video shows about how to ask for something,by saying please,may I, and raising your hand.  

Using manners is about having and showing respect and having eye contact while talking to someone and always addressing them with their name.                                               

Problem solving

 In groups we had to solve time problems. 

Then we worked out as a group what the first answer was. 

Next we explained why we got that answer and why we think that answer is right.

Lastly we showed our answers or results to Mr Ogilive and discussed what the right answers were as a class. 

I think that this activity was hard beacause I don't know how to tell analog time. 

Six simple machines

These are the six simple machines that we found around our eniorment the six simple machines are the screw, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, pully, and the lever. 

The lever helps lift heavy objects move from a low level to a high level. 

The inclined plane is used to move objects from a low level to a high level. 

The wedge is used to push things apart. It changes the directions of force to go sideways. 

The wheel and axle is used to move objects around easier.

The pulley is used to move heavy objects from a low level to a high level. 

The screw is used to push objects together. 

Balancing

 We did an activty of balancing in our envorment. We took a range of photos. 

The first photo was showing balancing on a bench with the assisstans of our group. 

The secound photo shows one person balancing on the playground. 

The third photo shows balancing on the playgroud with the assisstans of someone in the group. 

The fourth photo shows one person balancing on two or more people. 

The fifth photo shows one person balancing with the assisstans of other people, but trying to not have too contact with the ground or with the people in the group. 

This was an hard activity because some were too weak to help there group out. 

Prepositions

 I learnt about prepoitions. 

The prepoitions that I used for by me was tenei.

 The secound prepoition I used for there was tena. 

The last prepoition I used for way over there was tera. 

These prepoitions can help me beacause they are an easier way of saying way over there, by me, and there.

Keywords

All text inclued a range of words to share information with the reader

 Keywords are words that unlock more information. 

For Example Latrines are holes in the ground that people back in the day used to go toliet. Latrines were put in the barracks. 

Keywords can help unlock more information and help understand the word.

Simple Machines

 Simple machines are used to move heavy objects, carry objects, and attach objects together. 

There are six simple machines;

One of the simple machines is a wheel and axle is used to move objects around easier it redues the amount of force needed to push by making something roll. 

Another simple machine is a pulley, a pulley is used to move heavy objects from a low level to a high level it reduces the amount of force needed to lift heavy obejects by sharing and dividing the force out. 

The third simple machine is a wedge the wedge is used to push things apart. It changes the directions of the force to go sideways. 

The fourth simple machine is a screw a screw is used to attach objects to other objects. This machine works by making objects twist around the machine. 

The fifth simple machine is the lever the lever is used to lift heavy obejects it changes the imput force by using a pivot and a bar. This machine can also be used to mesure forces like  weight.

The last simple machine is aattach inclined plane the inclined plane is used to move objects from a low level to a high level more easily. 

These are all still used today to move objects.
