Key Board Drills

L.I: To learn touch typing.

Today for a Daily 6 I decided to do a writing one. I did my Key Board Drills again. For this Daily 6 task I made a copy of a google doc that was like the level 1 template but jut had different words and punctuation. This google doc was linked on the LS1 Daily 6 level 2 writing site. It had letters, words or/and punctuation in a colum then a blank colum below so we could copy it but using the correct fingers. 

Daily Information

L.I: To use a range of comprehension to go deeper into a text.
This week for reading we have been looking at the 6 news categories. National, International, Business, Sports, Entertainment and Weather. This week we had to get into groups and create a DLO or website including each of the topics but except for Weather. The leaders/editors of the groups were the people from Rudolph the Reading Reindeers. Victoria, Nyjah, Jack, Alex and Joseph but on the day that we were organising who is in which group, Joseph was away. In my group I had Jonathan, Karlos, Matthew, Xavier and Mele. First we discussed who would be doing which category, what we were going to use to put all our information on and the title of our news paper. We agreed that we would be using a google slides and the title of our news paper would be - Daily Information. My job as editor was to make sure we the people in my group were doing their work correctly/properly and make sure their information is true and make sure it is not all copy and pasted. I worked on Entertainment, Xavier and Karlos worked on Business, Matthew worked on national, Jonathan worked on international and Mele worked on Sports. The newspaper had to include an attributed image so it could help the reader understand or have a view of what is going on or what it is, the date, a title for the newspaper and who it was was written by. Also, the event had to have happened anywhere from the 28th of November to the 4th of December.

Narrative Illustration

This week for writing we had to get into groups of 3 people. In that group of people we had to create a narrative on a sheet of paper. How this would work is everyone in the group had to fold the sheet of paper into 3 parts. We all had to write the first part of the narrative in the first box then pass the paper on so then everyone could get to write on the sheet of paper and so the narrative would be random. When you passed it on to the next person, you had to fold the paper so they couldn't see what you have written. Before actually writing the narrative we had to plan it out. The characters were Florb and Umm and they were aliens. They have a pet named Broly which is a giant slug. The problem was that Broly destroys the city and the solution is a new super hero was born. The beginning had to start with - On a planet far away, the next paragraph had to start with - One day, the second to last paragraph had to start with - The next day then the last part which was the solution had to start with - Finally. You only had 10 minutes to write. In my group of three I had Mele and Sakina. After writing we had to look at it and see which narrative makes the most sense since there were 3 options. Then after choosing we had to create a google presentation with 4 slides and illustrate the 4 paragraphs.

Kiwi Can

This week  LS1 had kiwi can in room 7 with Ms. Latoya and Ms. Lily. First we were split into 2 groups. I was put into group 1. Then we played a game that was similar to tag. For this game we had to go outside. One team were the taggers and the other team was the runners. The taggers had to use a ball and try and tag the runner with it but you had to pass it to your team mates because you cant move with the ball. There were hula-hoops as well and they were safe places where you couldn't get tagged, but you could only stay there for 5 seconds. The the tagger had a turn being the runners and the runners had a turn being the taggers. Then we played another game where the 2 team had to get into circles. In the centre of each circle was a cone. One person from each team had to go into the centre of the other teams circle. There was a ball and the team had to try and roll it to try and knock the cone done whilst the person inside the circle had to try and block it and push it away so it couldn't fall. If they failed to stop the ball and it knocks the cone down, some else from their team would take their spot. Then we went back inside and created tall towers made of trays. The tower had to be at least the height of where your waste was. Then we built it again but outside. Cones were surrounding the tower the 2 teams made. Only a few people would play at first then the next people from the team would play on the next round. The goal is to try and pass it to your team mates so your team can get closer to the other teams tower then try and knock it down. Who ever did it wins. We played this until the morning tea bell rang and we had to go back to class.

Kiwi Sport

This week LS1 had kiwi sport in the hall with coach Kevin. First we did a warm up. For the warm up we played stuck in the mud. The two taggers were Akuhata and Te Rangimare. If you got tagged by one of them, you had to do stop where you are and you had to wait for someone to set you free. To set someone free you had to clap between their legs then high five them. After that we had to get into pairs. My pair was Sakina. The pairs had to get one shuttle to share between them and both get a racket for themselves. In our pairs we practised doing the forehand lift. One person chucked it to their buddy, then their buddy had to hit it doing the forehand lift. Then we did singles ins and outs using the badminton net. One person verses another person and who ever gets 1 point first wins and then they verse the next person at the front of the line. There had to be 8 people at a net. Then we played doubles ins and outs. For this we still used the badminton net but we had to get back into our pairs and verse other pairs. Which ever pair got 2 points first they versed the next pair in line. Then we just quickly recapped what we did before going back to class.

Prototec

This week for a can do I decided to play prototec. I have been playing it a lot lately for maths and I have been going 1 above my expected level which is a year 6/stage 6 level. I have been getting 100% most of the time. In stage 6, it questions you on your multiplication and division from the 2s all the way to the 10s, subtraction to 20, addition to 20 and your 1000. Prototec is such a fun maths game where you can learn or practise to do things at your stage, above your stage or below your stage. If you get a 10/10 score which is basically 100% you can even get a certificate! Before you play prototec, on the front cover it says to introduce your self. It has a place for you to put your name and class room number. You can even change the test type if you want and choose a stage. I recommended this game to anyone who wants to practise there maths, at their stage or above their stage. Or you can do the stages below your year level.

Community Roles

L.I: To classify personal relationships.
This week for inquiry we had to create our own google slides and choose our own 3 roles from the options that were listed that we would like to talk about. This time we had to work independently. The roles each had to be from a different box. The boxes were - Emergency Service, Professionals, Trades and government agencies. I decided to choose - Libraries, Ambulance and Doctor. We had to include attributed images in the slide to show the viewers what it is our what it looks like. We had to find information about the roles we chose and answer the following questions - How does this role interact with you or your whanau/family and How do the role interact with each other.
