Addle

Today for a Maths can do I have decided to play Addle.

I have played this game before. It is an addition game. To play this game you need to put the numbers where they need to go, the numbers need to add up to the answer of the equation. Once you have finished doing all of them you finish the game. If something is incorrect but you think it is right, the game will tell you how many lines you got wrong and which lines you got wrong. This game helps you learn how to find numbers that add up or make a different number. This game is fun and I enjoy playing it. If you want to learn doing this or practise doing it I recommend playing this game.

Free Rice

Today I did a writing can do and I played free rice. I have played this game a lot of times before and basically, if you answer a question correctly you donate 10 grains of rice for those who need it so you can stop world hunger. Last time, I only decided to donate 150 grains of rice and I said I will donate more next time and so this time I donated 300 grains of rice. This game is so much fun and I really enjoy playing this game. If you want to donate to stop world hunger and still learn at the same time, I really do recommend you playing this game and try to donate over 100 grains of rice. If you would like to, comment below if you did play this and tell me how much grains of rice you donated.

Blog Commenting

Today I commented on Sakina's blog. I commented on her Weather News. She did a fantastic job. Since I am in the same reading group as her, I also did this activity but I did national news. I also talked about weather but it had to be weather in New Zealand for me since it is national. I liked how she linked the site from where she got the information to which is the same site I got my information from as well and I also like. I also like the fun colours she used and the images she inserted in her DLO. I wanted to know is she has ever been to somewhere that has had a flood.

L.I: To create a test to find if something is either random or not.
This week for maths we had to create a test to see if "wheel decide" is actually random or not. Wheel decide is a site that lets you spin it and then it will land on one of the choices you have put. For this, we had to work in pairs so Sakina and I did this test together. In the class room we had plastic coins that were for maths so we used that as well for the test. How the test went is one person would flip the plastic coin 100 times and write how many times it landed on heads or tails on the google sheets whilst the other person spun the wheel decide 100 times and write down how many time it landed on a heads or tails on the google sheet. Then we had to switch so now the person who did the wheel decide, now had to do the coin flipping and the one who was doing the coin flipping is now doing the wheel decide. For the coin flip, we actually got 100 heads and 100 tails for each and for the wheel decide we got 97 heads and 103 tails. After everyone finished doing this, we added up all the data from everyone's tests on a google sheets. We put the results of our coin flips and wheel decide spins and put our and our partners initials above it so we knew whos results they were. After adding it up, the total flips and spins were 2160. All together there were, 1087 heads for the coin flips and 1073 tails for the coin flips. The numbers were pretty close. All together for wheel decide, 1087 heads and 1082 tails. The numbers for that were also close. The conclusion is that wheel decide is random.

Key Board Drills Level 1

'
L.I: To learn touch typing.
Today for a writing Daily 6 I decided to do my Key Board Drills. Since I did them all, I wanted to restart and do level 1 again. This task is to get me typing faster and have the ability to copy words, letters and different punctuation faster and use the proper fingers when doing that. For this Daily 6 task I made a copy of a google doc on our LS1 Daily 6 level 1 writing site. It had letters, words and punctuation on the first colum then a blank colum below it so we could copy what the writing had and use the correct fingers. I still find it quite hard so I think I do need more practise.

Government Services

LI: To look at more than one information source when researching.

LI: To record facts in your own words.
This week for inquiry we got into new groups of 6 and pairs then decided which pair would be doing which topic. This time it was Government Services and the options were - Politicians, Councils, Mayors, Libraries, Ministry for Primary Industries and Welfare. My pair was Sakina and we chose to do Mayors and Libraries. We used the the same google slides as the other times we did this activity and we had to find a photo of our topic and attribute the image, find a site that has information about the subject we are doing and link it, find facts, ask questions, write about why and if the teacher fact is true and false, write how do they help our community, and why you would contact those people.

Kiwi Sport

This week Thursday, we had kiwi sport with coach Kevin in the hall. We learnt more about badminton, did some tricks/skills and played some rallys and games. First we played octopus. The starting taggers were Matthew and Raera. If you were tagged by one of them, then you had to stay there and try to tag someone if they pass by you, but you couldn't move. The last two people that hadn't got out were then the new taggers. We played a few rounds of octopus then moved on to the next thing. For this next thing we learnt a new skill. It was the forehand lift. To do the forehand lift you need to hold your racket in forehand grip because it is in the name. You had have your racket foot in front and your shuttle foot behind. You also need to extend your hand out then hit the shuttle when it is thrown to you. We had to practise doing this in pairs so we got into pairs and got rackets for the both of us and one shuttle to share. Each person had to do it 5 times before swapping so the other person could try it. Then we played rallys using the badminton net and this time was only a 1 on 1 so only one person would play and another person on the other side. We got into groups of 8 and went to one of the three courts. We practised doing a forehand serve and sometimes, a forehand lift. If one person got out, the next person would come. After this we sat back down on the hall floor and recapped on what we did before going back to class.

Kiwi Can

This week Wednesday LS1 had kiwi can in room 7 with only Ms. Latoya. Our theme is still respect. First we discussed what we talked about last week which was Empathy. Empathy is like the phrase - put your self in my shoes, which is basically saying see what my life is like, try doing what I do or something like that. The first activity we did was greetings . For this game we had to get in to pairs and Ms. Latoya would show us an action for when she said a greeting in different languages. We would have to do that action to our buddy and they had to do it back. Then we talked about what is different about people and how we might do things differently or act differently for people. Then the next activity we did was props. For this game we had to stay in our groups of 4. Ms. Latoya would pick out a prop and each group had to make it into to something different our make do something different with it besides what it is actually for. In my group I had - Sakina, Akuhata, Hosea, Andrew and Karlos. After playing that, we only played one more activity which was buddy up, buddy down. We had to get into partners for this game and we had to go outside. One of the buddies had to stand in the small circle in the middle facing forward, then the other buddies had to be facing there buddy but they would stand at the outer circle. When Ms. Latoya said buddy up, you and your buddy had to swap positions or places, if she said buddy down then you and your buddy had to sit down, then if she said buddy left or right that means the people on the outer circle had to run right if she said buddy right or run left if she said buddy left. You had to make it back to your buddy quickly, but if you were the last person then you were out. We played this until the morning tea bell rang and I found it really fun.

National News | New Zealand Weather

This week for reading we got into our reading groups and looked at 6 topics that are found in News Reports/Papers. They were - National News, International News, Sports, Business, Entertainment, and Weather. Each one of us in the group had to pick a topic to make a DLO about, I got to do national news. I used a google draw because it seemed like the perfect thing to use for this and I found it easy to do. For national news, I wrote about the weather lately in New Zealand because I thought it was a good idea since we have been having more hot and dry weather. I tried to make my title seem a little interesting or to grab your attention so I also added a questions mark. I tried to make my DLO look a little like a news paper, so I turned most things on it grey or black. I also added images to go with it. The event had to have happened from the 20th of November 2017 to the 27th of November 2017. I found that information from a site called - nzherald which is a site that has a lot of interesting news reports and other things like that. I found it fun doing this reading task and enjoyed making my "news paper" /DLO and finding lots of interesting information about my topic.

(Check out the linked site to see what nzherald looks like and to find some other interesting things that has been happening or have happened.)

Athletics Day

This week Friday the whole school had athletics. For athletics day you could wear mufti which is any clothing, but the teachers wanted us to dress up depending on our team colour. You didn't have to but since all the classes were split into red, blue, yellow or green team they wanted us to show what team we are in by our clothing. On athletics day there are a bunch of activities which and you need to try to beat the other teams by co-operating with your own team and try your best. Depending on what place you came you get a certain amount of points. You only have a certain amount of time to play the activity before Mr Ogilvie pressed the horn which meant move to a different activity. As we did the activities, music played in the background on the big speakers. I was red team, and in red team I had - Raera and Pua. They were great team mates to work with. There were only 9 sessions that we rotated around. Some of the games I can remember was Rest/Dance which was the first thing my group/the year 5's did. Basically we could dance to the music that played or we could rest. I also remember Netball/Basketball and 2 of the teams would sit out and wait for there turn whilst the other teams played for a while. On both sides of the court there were hoops, on one side there was a basketball hoop, and on the other there was a netball hoop. We had the netball and basketballs. One of the teams did basketball whilst the other team did netball and the coaches would count how many points each team got. Another one of the activities was rob the nest. In each team there was a tagger that would tag other people but of course not the other taggers from the other teams. If you got tagged you had to stay there until some clapped between your legs and clapped your hands which meant you were free to go. A bunch of tennis balls and soft balls were scattered around the hall and you just had to try and grab as much as you could. The last activity that I am going to talk about is the Surf lifesavers. One team at a time had to lay on the stomachs and wait for one of the coaches to clap then we had to run and search for a bean bag before anyone else did. Then lastly the winners of each team versed the other winners from the other teams. At the end we had a sprint race for each class.

Key Board Drills Level 3

L.I: To learn touch typing.
This week for a daily 6 I did key board drills since I haven't done it in a long time. Key board drills helps you to learn how to type the right way or how to get you typing faster. To do this, we make a copy of a google doc which has a template. On the template there a a bunch of rows and in the first row, there would be a line of symbols and letters or just one of them, and then we have to try and copy that on the next row at the bottom of the top row but using the correct fingers. This time I did level 3. I still find it difficult so I think I will need much more practise.

Jet Ski Addition

Today I played another can do, but this time the subject was maths and I decided to play Jet Ski Addition which is an addition game. I have already made a blog post about this which explains how you play this game but to play Jet Ski Addition, you have to come up with a name and click on a match to verse 4 other players. You race other people with your Jet Ski and to go faster you have to answer the addition quickly so you can beat the other people and win! I came first and my name was V123 because it was simple and my name started with a V. This game is pretty east and gets you to practise your additions and get you to answer them at a faster pace. I recommend playing this game if you want to verse other people, have fun and also learn at the same time!

Free Rice

Today I did a writing can do and I played free rice. I have played this game many times before and basically, if you answer a question correctly you donate 10 grains of rice for those who need it so you can stop world hunger. I think who ever created this game is very smart because the idea of donating food to people from around the world online is very creative and such an amazing thing to do. I only decided to donate 150 grains of rice today but I think I will donate more next time. I enjoy this game alot because you can donate and also learn at the same time. If you want to donate to stop world hunger and still learn, I really do recommend you playing this game.

Blog Commenting

Today I commented on Florence's blog. I commented on her Raz Kids. She did a superb job. I also have a Raz Kids account but I haven't seen the book she was showing. I liked her detailed summary about the jeans book and how she included why she enjoyed reading the book. I wanted to know if she liked wearing jeans.

Kiwi Can

This week Wednesday LS1 had a kiwi can lesson in room 7 with only Ms. Latoya. The theme was still respect. She numbered all of us off from 1 to 4 and whatever number we were we had to be in the team/group. First thing we played was stinky/smelly feet. For this game, Ms. Latoya put hula hoops around the class room and we had to walk around but when she called out a number, that amount of foots needed to be in the hula hoop. You had to make sure your whole foot or both feet were in then sit down when you were done. Ms. Latoya looked around counting and making sure we did it properly. If your group didn't make the number Ms. Latoya called out you had to sit out. Every time more people left, she would take away some of the hula hoops. Then we played bean bag tag, for this game two of the teams played at a time and every time, one group would be the taggers and the other group had to run away and try not to get tagged. If you got tagged you had to sit out. You couldn't run with the bean bag in your hand, you just had to pass it to each team mate so if they were near one of the runners then they could try and reach over to tag them. Then when Ms. Latoya said stop the next two groups would come on. Each team got to swap roles so we could all have a go at what its like to be a tagger or runner. We then talked about the phrase "Put your self in my shoes" and talked about what it means and talked about what empathy is and how we can show it. Lastly we had GKQ which stands for General knowledge questions. For GKQ, some people stand up and Ms. Latoya will ask a questions then someone has to try and give the answer quickly before anyone else. Then we said goodbye to Ms. Latoya and headed off back to class.

Kiwi Sport

This week Thursday, LS1 had kiwi sport in the hall with coach Kevin. First we played infinity tag. In this game, everyone is in and if you are tagged by someone you sit down but then if your tagger gets tagged they sit down and you can stand back up again. It was really fun but when I got tagged I kept shouting to people so they could get my tagger out so I could be back in. Next we each got a racket and shared 1 shuttle between two pairs. First, the pairs practised doing the back hand serve, so one pair would practise doing it 5 times then the other pair would do it 5 times as well then they both had a rally with each other. Then we sat back down and Kevin showed us how to forehand serve since we already have been over how to back hand serve. To forehand serve, this time your racket foot has to be behind instead of in front and you have to hold the shuttle out wards but as a cup. You have to hold the racket in forehand grip and drop the shuttle then swing your racket to hit it. You can't swing then drop, you have to drop then swing. We practised this with our buddies then had a rally with each other. Most of us agreed that forehand serve is more difficult then back hand serve. Then we versed other pairs using the badminton net. You could back hand serve, or fore hand serve, which ever you prefer. Then we headed off back to class. At badminton I learnt how to forehand serve.

Probability Survey & Test

L.I: To compare and contrast a probability test with a statistic survey.
This week for maths we created statistical surveys and probability tests. For the survey we had to pick a dice, I got a 12 sided dice and asked 43 people in the class to pick a number from 1 - 12. I wrote all the names and the number that they chose from 1 - 12 in my maths book, then counted how many times each number was chosen by each person. Then I created a google slide and put the information on my survey and created a bar graph of it so you could see what it would look like in bar graphs. Then I rolled the dice 15 times my self and counted how many times I got each number from 1 - 12. I also made a bar graph about that too. The probability of getting each number is a 1/12 chance.

Inferring Modelling book update

L.I: To use a range of comprehension strategies to go deeper into a text.
This week for reading we had to change or add some things to our modelling books we made on a reading strategies. This time Mr Ogilvie wanted us to get the viewers to actually do something that helps them learn how to do the strategy, our modelling books were good so far but only some people actually showed the steps of the process of the reading strategy or got the viewers to do something. I made the changes to mine and I created a description about a character for you to infer. I wanted to get you to answer the inferring questions for a character before going to the next slide, because I the next slide I showed you MY conclusion and MY information I found. You might have got the similar or the same answers, if you did - Great Work! I also added an image of "Fin" but I made up the name and found the image online (it was labelled for reuse). I thought inferring a bully would be fun and quite easy. Hopefully my inferring modelling book helps you.

Wellington Fire station Visit

This week Tuesday the seniors went on a fire station visit. We went to the Wellington fire station and were introduced to 4 of the fire fighter there. At first there is a crew of 4 at the fire station then they swap with a different crew later on. We were able to ask them a few questions before we went outside of the fire station building so one of the crew members could show us how a fire fighters dresses. I now know, that everything they wear weighs to about 25kgs. They also told what everything they wear is, why there where it and how it works. Next they showed us parts of the fire truck and whats on it. Basically the fire truck is a big tool boxes that holds all the thing they need for an emergency. They also showed us the pump panel and there fire truck hose. They picked 4 people from the class to spray the hose and Mr Ogilvie was able to spray the bigger fire hose because it was more difficult to handle for the children. I think we all learnt something at the Wellington fire station and enjoyed the trip very much.

Maths Scenario Videos

L.I: To convert the number of chances probability into the percentage chance probability.
This week for maths we had to create a scenario where we have more of a chance of winning. I worked in a group of three. For my maths game or scenario I used some plastic toy jelly beans I found in the class room. I used 4 of the reds and 10 of the yellows (all together it was 14). Fui and Nyja showed my game. Fui had to get 2 of the yellows and Nyjah had to get 2 reds whilst they both were closing there eyes. In the video it shows you who won and I tell you how many chances in fractions.

Pixel Art

L.I: To develop artistic and find motor skills.
For a daily 6 I did Pixel art again because I find it really fun and you can be creative with it if you want. This time I drew a key using my pixel sheet of paper I got from in the class, my stationary pencil and ruler and I sometimes used my the rubber from my pencil. I found the image from online and copied it. I tried to make sure that it all fit on my page. The photo above is how my key pixel art turned out. I am very happy with it.

Trades

L.I: To look at more than one information resource when researching.

L.I: To record facts in your own words.

This week for inquiry we did a similar task to last weeks, but the instead we did trades. Like the last time we did this we had to share the information with the last group and find a group from a pair.  It had to  be a boy and a girl. My partner was Lukah. The option of the trades were - Public transport driver, Builder, Electrician, Plumber, Delivery drivers and Food services. Lukah and I worked on Builder and Delivery drives. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find any books once again.

Kiwi Sport

This week LS1 had kiwi sport in the hall with coach Kevin. First we played stuck in the mud to get us warmed up. The two taggers were Matthew and Aung Naing. If you got tagged by them you had stand there and wait until someone came and clapped between your legs and touched your hand so then you were free to go. Then we all got a racket and got into pairs then got one shuttle to share between the both of us. My pair was Sakina. In our pairs, we just practised doing the same thing we did last week and doing back hand to forehand rally and all that. After playing a few rounds of that with our buddy we learnt to back hand serve. To do the back hand serve you have to hold your racket in back hand position, hold the shuttle away from you and remember to hold it buy pinching the top of it, place the round part of the shuttle on the racket and then hit it. We first practised the back hand serve before Kevin actually got out the badminton net so the pairs could battle other pairs. The first pair to get to 2 points one and the pair who lost, had to leave and the next pairs that were standing in line would then verse the winner. Lastly we had a recap on what we did at badminton and learnt before saying our goodbyes to Kevin and going back to class.

The NZ Police visit

This Thursday afternoon the NZ Police came to visit Panmure bridge school. After lunch all of the classes came to the field and sat down so we could wait patiently for the police to arrive. Constable Cyrus was already at the school because he helped make this event possible. Some of the police men came in a helicopter and as it landed in front us so we had to make room. All of the people were amazed and excited for what they had to show us. They told us about some parts of the helicopter and they asked us some questions about things to do with police men and etc. We were able to ask them questions too. Later they brang out one of the dogs. They told us all the different things dogs can do that is helpful. They also showed us what a dog does to a bad person and some of the ways of how they train it. I enjoyed the visit very much and it I was very impressed with how smart and well trained the dog was. On that day I learnt that on the helicopters they have cameras so they can see what is below them when they are in the air.

Tables Conga

Today I did another maths can do but this time I played Tables Conga. I have played this game many times and basically you can practise your times tables or counting in a specific number but from 2s up to 9s. You have to collect as much as you can before a virus touches you which are the Xs because as time goes by more of them start to appear and move around. This time I did my 8s so I could go to the more higher numbers. I enjoy playing this game because not only is it fun, but it tries to challenge you so you can get your times tables faster or even learn them.

Blog Commenting

Today I commented on Sila's blog. I commented on her visualising modelling book. She did such a fantastic job. Since I am with Mr Ogilvie for reading too, I also did a modelling book but mine was based off the inferring strategy. I liked they way she explained everything about visualising and I all the amazing characters she made with the shapes and tools. I also like what she put for what she learnt about visualising. Although I wanted to know if she ever drew pictures using the information he writer gives you about because in her modelling book she said, that is one of the ways you can visualise in reading. I wanted to know that, and if she did, I wanted to know which book she used for it.

Prototec

This week I did a maths can do. I played prototec which is a game where you can go on different stages to learn maths equations at that level. I did stage 5. At stage 5, I got groupings within 100 questions, 100s & 1000s questions, addition and subtraction to 20 questions, multiplication like x2 or ,5 or 10x and division questions like ÷2 or ÷5 or ÷10. I was able to 10/10 for each one of the boxes and I did it just under 4 minutes (3m and 57s). This game is really fun and useful to learn and practise your maths online.

Severn Suzuki Speech

L.I: To understand how to deliver a speech.
L.I: What techniques can be used when speaking.
This week for writing we are now focusing more on our speeches. We watched some videos of speeches so we could understand how to deliver a speech and techniques that can be used when saying a speech. We got into a our writing groups and we had to discuss who would be watching which video. There were 7 video options. The Martin Luther King Jr speech, Nelson Mandela speech, Emma Watson speech, Malala Yousafzai speech, Severn Suzuki speech, Matt Cutts speech and the Graham Hill speech. I did the Severn Suzuki. After we watched the videos we had to write what the speech was about, a summary of the speech and answer the questions - Do they use rhetorical questions? Do they have eye contact with he audience? Is there different speech speed? and How to change. Severn Suzuki's speech is about how she wants adults to change their ways for the young children like herself. She goes on and listed a bunch of things that adults had done to the environment and earth that affects the lives of young children. I really enjoyed her speech myself. She did have rhetorical questions, she did have eye contact with her audience and there was a tiny bit of speech speed. I wrote all my answers on a google document. We only had a few minutes to do all of that before we came back to the matt in our groups and say what we wrote down.

Kiwi Can

This week LS1 had kiwi can in the hall with Ms. Latoya and Mr. Malu. The theme we were focusing on was still respect. First we were split into groups of four. Then we did the energiser, and for the energiser we played evaluation. We had to act as if we were an egg and lay on the floor and get into a ball. We had to roll around and if you got tagged you had to act as if you were a kiwi and you had to squat and walk around. Then if you got tagged once again you had to act like you were a chicken or moa bird and walk on your knees. We had a few rounds of that then we moved on to the real activity. This activity was called flip it but it was like volcanoes and valleys. For this game we were split into two teams. Mr. Malu placed cones around the hall and some were flipped over and some weren't. One team had to flip the cones up and the other team had to flip the cones down. We had to do it quickly because we had only a little bit of time. Lastly we did GKQ which just means - General Knowledge Questions. This time we had to get into a circle and someone would stand behind the person they were sitting next to and Ms. Latoya had to ask a question and the first one to get the answer out of the two people gets to move on to the next person and verse them and etc. We went around the whole circle before leaving back to class.

Inferring poster & updated version of modelling book

L.I: To use a range of comprehension strategies to go deeper into a text.
This week for reading, we had to carry on with our reading strategy modelling book. I looked through it and changed a few things around so you are now looking at the updated version of my inferring modelling book. I alo added another slide to my google presentation and made it was a steps poster. I added my own character that I made using shapes and I inserted an image of my inferring steps poster and made it a link so that it will take you took the actual google doc I made it on so you can take a closer look at it. For my poster I put some things you need to find if you are inferring a character and things you need to find if you are inferring a setting. I also added an image to go with the poster that I made. Then after I finished my poster I took a screen shot of it and just put it in into my modelling book.

Reading Log

L.I: To summarise and retell some texts.
Today for a daily 6 I decided to do reading log so I could share my summary of I book I read. First I had to make a copy of the template before anything else. On the template I had to write the book title, date and of course, my summary of the book. I read the book - and you can find it on Raz Kids if you would like to read it yourself. If you want to find out what happens, read my summary. If you want to practise writing a summary of a book I recommend doing this activity because it is very helpful.

Tables Conga

For a maths can do I decided to play Tables Conga. Tables conga is a game where you count in your 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, or 9s. It is also testing your multiplying. I worked on my 7s. This is an arrow keys game which means you move with the up, down, left and right arrow keys. You collect the numbers by hovering or moving over them. As time goes by more Xs start to appear and if you touch them then you have to restart the game so that challenges you to quickly complete it or doge them. If you can finish the game you can claim a trophy that appear on the screen. You don't have to though. This is a really fun game and you can play it if you want to practise your timetables or counting in numbers.

Raz Kids

                     

Today for a an other, I read - Bone, the Healthy Monster. You can find it on Raz Kids if you have an account. This book is about a Monster named Bonk. After a candy shop opens up, Bonk keeps going there and buying more and more candy everyday. He began to get bigger and bigger. He went to see the dentist, the dentist said all the candy he is eating isn't good for him or his teeth but he still got more candy. He got even more bigger! He asks his two friends for help and how he can loose all the weight he gained from the unhealthy candy. They took him out to exercise, showed him all the healthy foods he could eat and some more tips about staying healthy. Bonk was able to do more things after loosing all the weight and was more happier. I enjoyed reading the book and I think you will too, you can read it too and I recommend it to you. 

Blog Commenting

Today I commented on Alice's blog. I commented on her kiwi sport post. She did a great job. I also went to kiwi sport and that was my first day of it. I liked how the images she put of us at badminton and I liked how she included how she felt in the blog post. I wanted to know who her partner was for the games we played.

Inferring Modelling Book/Presentation

L.I: To use a range of comprehension strategies to go deeper in to a text.
This week for reading we had to create modelling book on a google slides presentation based of the different reading strategies we learnt through out the terms. I made a modelling book about inferring. In the modelling I told told you - What is inferring? and What information you need to find when inferring a character or place? I also gave you 2 examples of inferring a character and place from a junior and senior books. They were each nonfiction and fiction books. The junior book was the tortoise and the hare, I was inferring one of the characters - the hare. The junior book was the non fiction book. The senior book was Penguins, I was inferring the setting for that book. The senior book was the nonfiction book.

Kiwi Sport

This week Thursday, LS1 had kiwi sport with the coach - Kevin. We played badminton. This was my first day at kiwi sport because on the other days I was late or I had an inter schools game. First we played infinite tag. This game is like tag but instead everyone is in. If you got tagged you had to sit down. If you wanted to play again someone had to tag the person that tagged you so you can stand back up again while your tagger sits down. Then we had to get into partners. My partner was Sandra. We each had to grab a racket and one shuttle. First we tried back hand to back hand grip to back hand grip and tried passing it back and forth to each other. Then we did forehand grip to back hand grip and tried switching over after 4 minutes. Sandra and I were able to get 11 as our high score. We lastly had a recap of what we did before heading back to class.

Professional Workers Slide

L.I: To record facts in your own words.
L.I: To look at more than one information source when researching.
This week for inquiry we had to get in to a different group than our last group. In my new group I have Mele, Marieta, Sakina, Te Rangimarie and Te Pounamu. Sakina, Kailtyn and I all worked on the Lawyer and Educator. Mele and Marieta worked on Doctor and Pilot and Te Pounamu and Te Rangimarie worked on Accountant and Business. We used the same chart as before but a few things were different. Like the last time, we had to answer the questions and put in some facts. Since Sakina was working on Lawyer, she thought that the teacher facts was correct. I wanted to be sure so I did some research. I found that lawyers need to obey the law. The last thing we had to do is find some books so we had to go to the library for that with the permission of the teacher. We weren't able to find any books that had information about our topic.

Wheel decided | Number of choices

L.I: To learn about probability using the number of choices.
This week for maths we learnt about questions that have a number of choices. Those choices are - Absolutely certain, Likely, Equally likely, not likely or absolutely no chance. First Mr Wong gave us a few examples so we could understand how we can solve a number of chances questions. Then we were shown how we can use fractions to show the probability of something. If you had only pink counters and say if the questions was - how likely will you pick up a blue counter, the answer would be absolutely no chance because there are no blue counters. If you had 1 pink counter and 1 blue counter and your question was - how likely will you pick up a blue counter, then the answer would be equally likely because for each colour, there is the same amount. The way you solve a question like that in fractions is, you need to find the amount of the object all together or the option you have and that will be the denominator. Then you find how much you are looking for, say if it was with counters, if I had 5 option the denominator would be 5 option and the numerator will be the chances of me getting what I want. If I wanted to get a blue counter and there were only 2 blue counters, then I have 2 chances of getting what I want. If I put it in fractions it would look like this - 2/5. For the task we had to go on a site called wheel decide and do 3 random wheels that have - a 1/5 chance, 1/10 chance, and then the last one is however many. For my 1/5 chances I did drinks, for my 1/10 chance I did what describe you the best and the last thing I did was fruits.You can spin the wheels I made yourself!
