Anzac Quatrefoil

I created a quatrefoil about ANZAC.

I first practised hand drawing my crosses on a scrap piece of paper. I drew five crosses the same size and one big cross.

Next I measured how much space my crosses will take to hand draw and measure the size of the crosses.

Then I started drawing my crosses on my quatrefoil but I pushed lightly on my quatrefoil Incase I’ll make a mistake.

Last I colored everything in. My background was red for my quatrefoil and my five crosses of the outline were black.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to hand draw my quatrefoil. I need to improve on measuring my crosses. I did well on making my crosses the same size.

Prototect/Basic Facts

I answered basic facts questions. 

I first answered each question as fast as I could because there was a timer while I was trying to answer my questions.

Next I wrote ten of my wrong questions into my book and wrote the right answer for each question.

Then I answered a sheet of basic facts to see if I would improve by not having a timer on each question.

Last I wrote ten wrong answers again in my book to see if I have improved or not.

T-Ball Skills

I learned and revised more T-Ball Skill.

First we played a warm up game. We played a warm up game by using both hand on the noddle to help us swinging with the bat. This time there were four taggers. If I got tagged I had to stand on one leg and count to ten, if I put my one leg down you have to count to ten again.

Next Coach Cameron told us to put our feet next to the home base. The second thing is making the T the right height for me to hit it. The third thing was we had to put our hands together to hit the T-ball. The fourth thing he told us was make sure people are dispensing from you when your gonna hit the ball. We revised the names for each base. I then played a game of T-ball. I was first a batter. I hitted the ball then ran two the second base, but then they touched me on the shoulder so I was out.

Last we switched so I was a fielder. The other team hitted the ball to me so I threw the ball to Riley to step in the hop. I then picked up the ball and then touched the runner with the ball to make them be out.

I enjoyed this activity because I did some good bats. I need to improve communicating to my team. I did well on hitting the ball hard.

 

Making Connections

I learned to make a connection with the South Pacific Beats text.

First we listened to Mr Wong read the text. Mr Wong readed because my group chose shared reading. Shared reading is when one person reads and reveryone listens.

Then Mayshar continued the shared reading for the last two pages. She read the last two pages because we voted her.                                                                                                                                          

Lastly, we agreed with each others ideas and understand our ideas and see who has the best idea out of the group.
