Modifying Sentences

LI: how to make a detailed sentence
For Writing we learned on how to make a simple and boring sentence to a really interesting and detailed sentence. We had to make a simple sentence, and add an adjective, a when, a where, a why, and a how.

Music (Ukulele)

LI: to learn how to play the ukulele
For Music we first started off by playing the Ukulele. We learned the notes or chords C, F, A and G. C is on the third fret and bottom string. A is the second fret top string. F is second fret top string, and first fret second bottom string. G is the hardest which is third fret bottom string, third fret third string, and second fret second string. After I got to free-play on the Piano.

How to tell the time?

LI: to tell the time on an analogue clock

For Maths I learned how to tell the time. I learnt by using a mini clock that you could change the time with. So with those mini clocks we played a game. Our teacher would shout out a time and we would have to put the time on the mini clock as fast as we can. For our DLO (Digital Learning Object) we had to make a poster on how to read time. We also used a Clock Face Generator to help us with it. 

Praise

LI: to learn the meaning of praise
For Kiwican we started off the session by playing our Energizer. Our Energizer was called "Rock, Paper, Scissor, Shoot", or just "Rock, Paper, Scissors". We had to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with another person. Then if you lost you had to turn around and touch the ground. Then go tag your opponent. We then kept playing with that person or we could switch with another.

Later we talked about the meaning of Praise and what does it mean? Praise means worshipping someone or admiring someone. After that we then played a game called Kickball. We had to get into two groups. Then one group is defending and the other attacking. The attacker had a ball and had to kick it as far as they could so they could score a try, while the defending team had to get the ball and tag him with it. The attacking team scored a try by running, and coming back. Or they could run and stay at the safe zone, while their teammate scores and run back they can run back as well.

How to make a Blog - Post

LI: to write a succinct blurb for a blog - post
Writing a succinct blurb is important to tell people what you learned about. In a blurb you need to write: what you learned, how you learned, and what you used/did to learn it. The activity we did was to write a blurb on the CARE Awards we have in LS1. What we used was the example blurb we made of using the idea of CARE Awards. A sentence you should not start with is: we got into groups, first thing we did was, our teacher told us to, etc. Good first sentences should be short, and gets to the point.

Types of Touch Poster

LI: to make a poster about one of the things we learned on KOS (Keeping Ourselves Safe)
This week for inquiry we had to work together as a group to make a poster about one of the topics we have been learning about. The poster I made was Types of Touch.  The three types of touch are safe touch, confusing touch, and the unsafe touch. An example of the safe touch is a high five, a confusing touch would be a wet willy, an a unsafe touch is slap in the face.

Taniwha's Positions

LI: to learn the positions of team taniwha
This week for Kiwi Sport we learnt the positions of taniwha. Team Taniwha can only stay on Te Roto (Moat/Lake). Also it can go on Te Ao (World) . We first started off by timing how much throws we can get to the Tupu (Rock) in one minute. We also did a time trial on how long it takes for everyone to get one throw to the Tupu (Rock).

Later we then added defenders which defend the Tupu from being hit by the ball. So we added defenders and timed how much in a minute we can get the ball to touch the Tupu.

We then played Rescue Te Ara which is where there is a person as the wife who has to be saved. Te Ara is at Pawhero (Island). Then there are Taniwhas on the moat trying to tag the people who are trying to save Te Ara. When some of the rescuers successfully get to Te Ara they have to go cross back through the Taniwha trying not to be tagged.

Lastly we played a game where we had to tag people with a ball, but we couldn't run with the ball. So we had to pass the ball around to tag people. It was Boy vs Girl.
