We practiced writing compound sentences.

To finish up after that we made our party poppers. We made our party poppers with medium rubber bands, small fuzz balls, nuts and bolts, glitter stickers, and toothpicks. We also used a paper cup. 

I enjoyed this activity because it leveled up my creativity. I could tye the nuts and bolts better next time.

How Trebuchets Work

 A trebuchet is a medivel weapon and can be found in Germany and it was made out of wood. It was almost exackly the same as a catapolt.

Answering Maori Questions

We answerd questions in maori. We answered questions like whos your friend and weres your friend I wrote who my friend is I wrote Riley and for weres your friend with the anwser in the hall. We learnt these words hoa, hea,

We learnt how to balance using one foot facing to the side and the other foot facing the front after that we learnt how to catch like a dog we learnt that if you want to catch a frisbee without moving when you catch it you can jump when we are about to catch the frisbee. After that we have used teamwork to win a game.

I think this activity was hard because aiming the frisbee was hard

Second we played hockey. We learnt by standing on one leg we practised balancing by testing our tiping points we needed to hit the ball by our sides this was kinda tricky because you needed to stop the ball before hitting it. I thought this activity was easy because it was easy to hit the bal

Third we needed to practise by using a frisby. We learnt by standing sideways we learnt that when you throw a frisby you need to turn your body. I thought that this activity was the hardest

After that we practised using basketballs we practised by chucking the ball from our chest. This was hard because we kept going out of our tiping points. 

Lastly we did netball practising we did the same thing of the basketball but we used a ball thatwas way lighter than the basketball this made it harder to balance because when we start balancing the ball will go to fast for us. we thought this activity was hard.

We use maners when we are greeting someone or asking for something.

Some maners are thank you, please, may I, excuse me, partin me, and your welcome.

Marc went to college but he got mixed up with some bad people and started to borrow other peoples cars and never gave them back. Marc got sent to prison for stealing other peoples cars. In prison he found a teacher who could help him to read so the teacher taught him to read he had to use a ruler to learn how to read from left to right when he left prison he came out with a certificate after that he got a diploma in a business.

The two times tables are multipliying two by a number of groups.

The five times tables are multipliying five by a number of group. 

The tens times tables are multipliying ten by a number of groups.

The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multiplication equations. The next times tables to learn are the three, four, and sixtimes tables.    

Teamwork

 Teamwork is a term to dscribe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork consists of three main mechanisms. Comunication is talking with your teamates your friends. An example is when your friends or teamates are in an hudle and figuring out a plan.

Cooperation is helping and talking to help your team. For example talking to your teamates and no bad language.

Collabration is gathering ideas from your teamates. For example when your teacher made you and another team a team together.

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to be implemented throughout the activity

In the story the Highway Rat there are 3 main character to gather traits about.

The horse doesnt step on the ants and he went down the hill with the duck leaving the rat inside the cave.

A character trait is an easy way to figure out how much you know about a character. 

Multiplication

Today I learnt multiplication using counters.

First me and my group made our group of counters into tens.

Second we counted our groups of tens. Then we used our multiplication to multiply our numbers the results were 70 

Then we made another slide and did the same thing. 

  

Visualisation-The Highway Rat

Visualisation is creating pictures in your head. This helps understand what you read.

Highway Rat is about a Rat who is greedy and steals everyones food. He learns a lesson and everyone lives happily.

My visualisation to others because I have a different opinion than other people. We have different visualisations because other people think differently.

Place Value and Saying Numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers of their size.

The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group them in the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundred and nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabits).

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tupuna (ancestral place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

It is important to end with warm visitors so the visitors know that there is no hostility in 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections. 

AFL Training

 Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3ps in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3ps are all connected. After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statements because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1.

 I will make sure my friends and I will concentrate on the work.

I enjoyed the doubles but it was hard to come up with the results.
