Shot Put

I learned shot put techniques. The three shotput techniques are using three fingers.

First I practised the first technique. The first technique I learned was to put three fingers on the ball. The second technique was to put it onto my neck. Third skill I learnt was the stance of the shot put. 

Next I practised using the skills in shot putting the ball to my partner. Joe was helping me still trying to get into the right position and how to throw the ball. 

Last I got it right on the stance, and how to throw the ball. I was doing big throws. I almost hit someone in the face because I was not aiming properly.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to do shot put. I need to improve on throwing the ball straight. I did well on the stance.

Pros and Cons

I learned pros and cons. I used pros and cons for sea vehicles.

First I wrote ideas on why a crew ship and gallys are good and what a crewships and gally’s need to improve on. Then Mrs White asked the class if they would go on a gally or a crew ship. Mostly everyone picked a cruise ship because it is fancy to be on and I also agreed on being on a crew. 

Next, Mrs White brought up a scenario for people to really think about if they really would want to go on a cruise ship. Mrs White said “what if you had a budget and the budget was 10,000 dollars. Would you rather go on a cruise ship that costs 8,000 to go on it and spend the rest in Mexico. Or go on a gally and only spend 500 dollars to get to Mexico. I thinked about how I picked the galley.

Lastly, I wrote pros and cons for a ship and a jet ski. I had to write down as many as I can for both vehicles. I did four pros for my jet ski and five cons for my jet ski. Also on my ship I did four pros and for cons I did five.

There are many pros and cons for vehicles.

Commenting

I watched different movies about a topic.

First they all said a little speech of what their movie was about. Some movies were funny and some movies were telling us stuff we should fix. For example, Looking after the environment.

Next we watched more movies showing people singing. It was entertaining every movie. Pokiblade was my favourite because of how Kane was being bullied and he was training Riley to become stronger.

 I enjoyed this activity because the movies were entertaining.

Te Reo Maori

I learnt Te Reo Maori.

First we had to talk in Maori for 8 minutes.

Next we learnt how to say new words in Maori. We also had to tell the time. We only got 3 slips on using one english word.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to talk in Maori for 8 minutes. I need to improve on telling the time. I did well on saying the new words.

SSR-Selfie

I learned lots of stuff about this book.

Raina wanted a sister when she was young. She was a big sister and her little sisters name was Amara, she always wanted to play with her sister but her sister was a angry and grouchy little sister.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to read about this book. I need to improve on skimming and scanning. I did well on reading for 15 minutes.

 

Responsiable Use

The kawa of care is used to keep yourself, your family, and your chromebook safe at all times. 

The responsibilities at home and school for your chromebook. If you ever want to play games make sure to use games with no ads because some ads can steal information about something you might not want anyone to know about. Guest Accounts are used for parents, everytime parents are using the school chromebook they must remove their account after. Always log into the school account for your safety. 

School responsibilities. Always use two hands to hold your chromebook. The school always has spare chromebooks for children that have left their chromebook at home or have broken their own chromebook. The school monitors the school accounts for us to stay safe online. There is a warranty for three years only if you have been following the kawa of care. Always remember to be cybersmart at home and school.

Always stay safe on the internet.

 

Length

I learned length.

First I learned the meaning of length. Length is something to measure the length of an object. I always measure from the longest side of the object. For example a book, the side of the book is the longest point so I measure from the longest point. 

Next I did the length of a book, pencil, white board, chair, table, tote tray, and an object of my choice. The length of the side of the book I did was 35 cm, from the longest side of the book. Also I remembered to measure from the start of the ruler.

Synthesising

I learned synthesising. Synthesizing is using my prior knowledge to information that I have found out about. 

First I learned what synthesising means. We watched a video about The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. In the story it tells about the three brothers wanting to cross the bridge to go to the other side. They all agreed to go to the other side, it had lots of grass to eat. 

Next, each brother went one at a time, the order was youngest to oldest. When the youngest goat was crossing there was a big green goblin on the way to get to the other side. The youngest goat had an idea of tricking the green goblin. The youngest goat said “you should not eat me, I would not be a good meal to eat, ” he told the goblin that my middle brother will be crossing the bridge and he’s bigger than me”, he said that the middle brother would be a better meal than the smaller brother. 

After, the middle brother was crossing. The middle brother said his oldest brother would be a better meal to eat than me. So he let the middle goat cross the bridge. The oldest brother was also stopped by the green big goblin. The goblin said “stop there”. He wanted to eat the oldest brother but the oldest brother had no fear of the big ugly green goblin. So he used his horns to bump off the green goblin into the water. 

Last I synthesised that the biggest brother was brave to bump off the green goblin. My new information was always being brave is good for you to teach other people to be brave for things they need to take care of.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to learn synthesising. I enjoyed watching the story. I need to improve on my prior knowledge.
