Inferring

LI: to infer information from a text
This week we learned more about inferring. We inferred on a book called Man and Sea. We had to infer as much as we could. Also for our DLO we had a T chart and a storyboard. For the T chart we had to write our inferences and our evidence. We needed two or more pieces of evidence. Also for our storyboard or the comic strip. We did the same thing. But we had pictures that we have made.

Netiquette

                       

LI: to follow the rules online

Then we went to our session about accountability & responsibility. Next we played a game of Hand Soccer. We got into teams of 12. Each team was named a number 1 - 12. When Miss Lily would say a number like ones, both ones from each group would use their hand and try to get it in a goal. We also added up. Like 2 and 3 go! 

Inference Detective

LI: to infer information from a text
This week for Reading we learned how to infer. Inferring is finding out clues from the author and using your own prior knowledge. We watched two videos that gave us a idea about Inferring. We also used the QAR bookmarks (Question Answer Relationship) to help us with the Inferences we were doing. We were practicing inferring to get us better at it.

Fractions

                     


LI: to count in fractions forwards and backwards to name a whole number
This week we were focusing in fractions. In a fraction there are two things called Numerator and the Denominator. The numerator is the amount you have from the whole. The denominator is how many times it gets divided. For example: the two is the numerator and the four is the denominator, so 2/4. 2/4 is the same as 1/2. 

Compulsory Task

LI: to learn about the circulatory system

This week for Inquiry we did the Circulatory system. The circulatory system moves your oxygen around your body. Specifically the blood and it gives nutrients. For the compulsory task I did the Poem. The type of poem I picked was haiku. A haiku is a Japanese poem.

Lattice and Japan Method

                             

LI: to develop the Japanese and Lattice method for multiplication out the basic facts
This week for Math we learned two new strategies. The Japanese and the Lattice method. The Japan method is pretty simple but can take time. The Lattice method is more simple because you don't need to sort out the basic facts, it moves it for you. We learned it by two videos we watched talking about the Lattice and Japan method.
Japanese Method

Kiwi Can

LI: to learn about accountability

This week for Kiwi Can we changed our Topic to accountability. Accountability is to be responsible, but instead we only did part of it. The part we did was honesty. The first game we played was Copy Me. Its when you have a group and they have to copy you. Then we talked more about Honesty. Then we played the Fruit Game. You have to be in partners and decide who's 1 or 2. We all got into a circle, and the partners had to be in line. 1 at the front and 2 at the back. Miss Lily would shout out a fruit and each fruit had a meaning. Banana meant switch places. Apple meant 1 had to spread their legs and 2 had to go through the hole. Orange meant the back person had to power-walk around the circle and get back. Watermelon meant do piggy back on the person in front, or just lean on their back. It was an elimination game so you would have to be quick or you and your partner would be out. Then we played GKQ (General Knowledge Questions).  

Who Do Our Muscles Get Tired?

LI: to self monitor understanding of words and phrases
This week for Reading we read a book called 'Why do our Muscles get tired?'. While we were reading we had to find words that we didn't know. Also while we learned a method called Word Part. You would get a word you wouldn't know like submerge. Sub means under, and merge means connect. So connect under. Also Self Monitoring is an understanding of where your struggling. We also had to make a Flip-grid.

This week for Kiwisport (Rippa Rugby) we learned two different types of sidesteps. The original one where you plant your foot on one side, but go to the other quickly. Also another one where you plant your foot on a side but spin once to the other, facing forward. We played a game of Rippa Rugby. Then we practiced both of the sidesteps. We had one defender for each group. There were three groups. We practiced the normal then did the spin. Then we got into pairs. The pairs got split and were named numbers. When Hemich would say a number we the pairs would verse each other. Then we played another game or Rippa Rugby.

Kiwi Can

LI: to learn how to be a role model

This week for Kiwi Can we first played a Energizer. The Energizer involved a ball. Everyone playing had to be in a circle. Legs spread out and one hand protecting it so the ball doesn't go through you legs. You legs are a like a goal and your hands like the goalkeeper. Also the last two people are the winners. Then we talked about what a role model is, and what the role models does. Then we got into lines of 5. We got into 4 groups but the last line was split. The activity we played was called the Silent One. Each group needed a leader. The leader had a dice and needed to roll it. But each number has an action. For Example: Number 4: Do a Fortnite dance. But you would have to the actions silently. If you made a sound your group would be out.  

Elective Tasks

                     

LI: to learn how to work as a team
Today is the last day of Nutrition and the Digestive System. We had to blog everything we completed. I completed the Double Sequence Chart, Venn Diagram, Fishbone and Song Lyrics.

Keywords List & Video

LI: to summarize a text using keywords

Today we made a video about the site we used to get keywords. We had to review how we thought the site was. Was it good or bad? We also did the Keywords but we're not going to show it. We also tried to summarize a whole fact by using only 2 or 3 words. 

Volume and Capacity

LI: to estimate and measure the nearest litre
Today for Math we were doing Volume and Capacity. We had to measure the milliliters of two containers. We used measuring tools. We had to measure the Capacity with rulers, and the volume with the measuring tools. We also had to make a Flipgrid of what the difference is between Volume and Capacity.

The difference of Volume and Capacity are:

Capacity is the amount of space in an object or container for holding a liquid, or anything you can put in. You can find out the capacity of the object or container by measuring the height, width and the depth.

Volume is the amount of things or liquid inside something. For Example I got a two bottles that are different sizes. But I poured in or put the same amount in both. The capacity of the bottles would be different, but the volume would be the same.
