Americas Cup

My group and I found some articles about Americas Cup.

First we wrote about the main ideas about the Americas Cup. We sorted these in to what, who, when, where, and why.

Then we wrote down 20 important words from the text. Then we chose 6 important words and put all the words into a sentence to summarise the information.

After my group and I all did evaluating slide then I wrote interesting facts that I have learnt on the last one I wrote what was my questions after reading about the Americas Cup.

These 3 strategies are useful because they could help you with remembering things or using your own ideas that you use.

The Highway Rat

Visualisation is creating pictures in your head. This helps understands what we read.

Highway rat is about a rat who is greedy and steals everyone's food. He learns a lesson and everyone lives happily.

My visualisation is different to others because I did not used all of the space but others used all of their space.

We have different visualisation because we draw from what we think and not coping others.

Place Value & Saying Numbers

Place Value is a system that groups number based on their size.

The position of a digit  determiners its value.When we say numbers we group then within the same house.For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds 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 formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings.It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants) 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 tipuna (ancestor 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 welcome 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 the connections.

SSR Selfie - Art

 I read 4 pages of Art by Caroline Grimshaw.

In the book Art is a collection of idea's produced by human skill, imagination and invention. Artists share their ideas by making or selecting pictures, sounds and words to create an art form. In Western cultures, two of the main types of visual art are painting and sculpture. Other countries have their own art traditions.

I enjoyed this book because I learnt facts from this book. I would like to try doing a sculpture.

LI: to summarise and retell a text.

Basic Facts Boxes

I tried the speed demon challenge up to 5. 

It took me 10 minutes and 5 seconds to finish my basic facts I got 100/100 right.

I also need to practise more and I will try to type faster.

Print Design Rules

I learned about the Print Design Rules.

First Mr.Wong taught us about the main aspects of the Print Design Rules, colour, layout, text, composition.

Next, I figured out which posters were good and bad with my partners.

Last I reorganised a poster to make it look good.

Handwriting

I practised my handwriting to improve my writing neatness. 

First I watched the two videos to see how to write.

Then I wrote the whole alphabet and then I wrote the numbers.

After that I wrote my symbols.

I have to improve on my p and m.

AFL Training

Group A and B did AFL training with our coaches Jack and Mike.

First we went to the field and our coach Mike told us a skill so we have to use our hand that we write with and turn into a fist and our other hand into a plate.

Then Mike showed us how to kick the ball, make sure one x from the ball is looking up and the other x from the ball looking down then make sure the laces are not looking at your face and the laces faces at your partner. He also told us make your hand into a M and hold it on the ball.

Lastly we played octopus. Then we played smash the teachers and I have to practise on kicking the ball.

LS1's Treaty

 LS1 learnt about the 3 P's in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr. Ogilvie introduced the 3 P's in the Treaty Waitangi. They are Protection, Partnership, Participation. 

Then in groups we wrote statements about the three p's in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 P's are all connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these three p's because they are going to help me of what I need to do in class.

Prototec

I went on Prototec to learn new basic facts.

First I did stage 6 I got 100 wrong and my addition and subtraction to 20 were some wrong and right. 

Then my last one was to 2, 3, 5, 10, and those one's I also got some right and wrong.

I need to practise all of my basic facts so I could be more faster.
