Character

A character description is about visualising.Visualising means creating an image inside the head.

When describing people include 3 main parts. Appearance,Experiences, and personality.

appearance is what they look like, Experiences is what they do and personality is how they act.

In a character description, people use literal and figurative language. Literal language goes straight to the point. Figurative language means to unlock or find the meaning.

4 Timetables

Multiplication is an easier way to count a lot of the same number.

This week we did four times tables these slides show a of the four times tables the we completed.

Multiplication is like grouping numbers and skip counting.

LI: to learn about our timetables.

Figurative Language

This week we learnt about figurative language.

Figurative language is a sentence with a hidden message.

The first thing we did was a simile. A simile is a comparison of  two things using "like or as".

 The next slide we did was Hyperbole. A Hyperbole is exaggerating to show strong feelings or effect.

After that we did metaphor which means two things are compared without using "like or as"

Later we did Personification which is giving human traits to objects or ideas.

The last one we did was understatement.

Kiwi Sport: Swiming

Today I practised my water safety skills at the Lagoon Pools.

The first skill I practised was gliding. To do gliding I did a big push when my face was in the water and my arms were out in front of my head in a straight body.

Then I practised to dive through the hoop. To do it well I put my arms behind my head then I went through the hoop.

Later I practised to float on my back.  I floated on my back and I kicked while I was floating on my back.

After I practised rotation from front to back. To do rotation from front to back you put  your face in the water and then roll to your back and kick.

I got better at gliding but I need to improve arm strokes.

L.I. develop knowledge of water safety.

Tangram

Today I learned how to make tangrams. I rearranged the pieces to make animal shapes.

 First I made a square piece of papaper because tangrams are made from a big square.

Then I folded the square into various shapes and cut them out.

Lastly, I tried to make different animal shapes from the tangram pieces.

Multiplication

Multiplication is an easy way to count a lot of the same number. These slides show the five times table and the two times table.
