List Poem

LI: To write a list poem that describes a topic by painting a picture with your words.                              

For Writing we were learning about Poems. The Poem we were learning about today is called a List Poem. By the name it states that it is a poem that lists things you've done, or would like to do. This was really fun because the poem I did was called "What is a million", listing things I have or have done a million times. It was really fun doing this activity as I got to see what I have done in my lifetime, as well as appreciate what is around me. 

3D House

LI: To use the most efficient maths strategy.

For the first Maths lockdown challenge we figured out how many wall and roof pieces the world’s first 3D printed house has. What we did was we read the questions, then we did 195 + 85 =  280. We did the rest of the questions as you can see above in the DLO. We worked cooperatively in groups to solve these questions and create a DLO of our findings.

 

Letter Q

LI: to extend our vocabulary with the letter Q

For Reading we were learning about words starting with the Letter Q. We started off by reading a text talking about the origin of the Letter Q, and where it came from. Our task was to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) showcasing words we know starting with the Letter Q, and words we don’t know starting with Q. It was really fun and interesting doing because we got to learn new vocabulary, and we were able to do this activity with our friends.  

Te Reo Maori

 LI: To identify the different objects through Te Reo Maori.

For this weeks Maori task we were challenged to find the different amount of objects there were on an i spy sheet. The challenge was that all the objects names were in maori so we were to translate them and find out how many there are of that object. On the left of the DLO it corresponds with the list on the right. Porohita  13 and so on.

Swimming

LI: to learn about water safety

For Swimming we were continuing on learning about Water Safety,  learning different strokes. We started off doing Streamline as a warm up, and continued doing different strokes. We then did strokes but these strokes helped us manage our breathing, and let us feel less tired. It also helped us lessen our head movement, and restrict your neck movement. It really helps, and another thing we did was starfish but we had to only kick to strengthen our calve muscle. 

Tech - Painting

LI: to learn about the Color Wheel

For Tech we were learning about tints and shades. A tint is a lighter version of a colour, but a shade is a darker version of a colour. We were learning this while painting, we learnt how to mix colours and apply the colour on paper. We were learning about Primary Colours, and mixing them to make Secondary Colours. It was really fun as we got to do this with our friends, and with other people.  

Ancient Greek Olympics Presentation

LI: to reorganise your information

To learn about the Ancient Greek Olmpics we were set to make a presentation using the information we learnt from taking notes and researching. We reorganised our notes and formed it into a presentation to present infront of our classroom. In our presentation we showcased "What are the Ancient Olympics?", and "What were the sports or competitions that were played in the Ancient Olympics?". We then showcased what were the events that took place in each day.
