Kiwi Sport | Gymnastics

LI: To increase our flexibility, strength & balance.

LS1 group A went to the hall to participate in our gymnastics session with Steven. Steven was gone for two weeks so he expected us to not be the best. We had three rotations which were the:

1. Balance station - In the balance station we had to go on a beam and kick forward then backwards, we had to do a cartwheel along a long blue beam, after that we did a frontwards roll on a thick beam, lastly we did bunny hops along another beam.

2. Strength station -  On the parallel bars we had to do the tuck shape and the L shape while on the bars, on two stairs flipped on their sides we had to go on it and do light swinging, we had to do the front/side/back support, on a bar we had to do a handstand with the support of the wall and on the bars we had to do little swings on it.

3. Postition station - On a 90° angled triangle we had to do the back roll, on a blue long mat we had to do a handstand then front roll then another handstand, on a springboard we had to do one straight jump, on a mini trampoline we had to do a dive roll.

I enjoyed this session on Gynmastics back with Steven.

Reading | Making Connections | Synthesis

LI: To build vocabulary and make connections.

Making connections is a reading strategy we use to understand a text. Synthesis is also a reading strategy used for the same thing. We gathered information, did the synthesis DLO and then made connection to the story we were reading. I enjoyed this task.

Cleaning our Drives | Cybersmart

LI: To organise our drives properly.

LS1 was organising their drives to save time later on in the year. This would help us because if we make files we can put it in our folder that is appropriate for the file. We also don't have to waste time to organise our files in the future. If we organise our drive in the following year we can make other folders.

Decimal Numbers

LI: To add and subtract decimals by place value and check using written algorithm.

Decimals are numbers higher than zero but lower than a solid number. In our maths groups we were adding and subtracting decimal numbers. To add a decimal numbers you need to add the lowest numbers first. For example 2.32 + 1.20, I will add the two and the zero which are at the right hand side. 2 + 0 = 2. Then you make your way up to the left. 3 + 2 = 5. 2 + 1 = 3. After adding them put it into the right place. 2.32 + 1.20 = 3.52. To subtract decimal numbers you have to subtract the lowest number first like the adding one. 2.38 - 1.28. 8 - 8 = 0. 3 - 2 = 1. 2 - 1 = 1. Put them into the right place. 1.10 or 1.1. I liked adding and subtracting decimal numbers.

African Drumming

LI: To learn about African Drumming.

Johnny from Rhythm Interative taught us four different rythms on the djembe. Johnny taught us by singing and clapping the rhythm for us to copy. One of the call and return tunes was "I like chocolate cake" , "So do I".

Johnny teaches a message to children. That message is that "together we can make a change". I have enjoyed drumming with Johnny.

Ki O Rahi | Interschool

LI: To play Ki O Rahi and have fun.

Some people from PBS went down to Dunkirk Park to take part in the Ki O Rahi interschool. It was our first interschool on Ki O Rahi so we focused on having fun instead of having a competitive game.

Our first game was against Tamaki Primary. We lost against TPS by 9 to 3. We had fun with the first game. After TPS we played against St Patrick. We won against St Patricks by 13 to 4. It was a friendly game. We then played against Te Puao team 1. We had won by 12 to 4. Then we played against Te Puao team 2. We lost by 5 to 3. After Te Puao we went against Stanhope. We won by 13 to 9. Our last game was against Stonefields and won 5 to 3. Overall we won four games and lost two. Our team enjoyed this opportunity to take part in the Ki O Rahi interschools.

Commenting

LI: To give a person feedback.

Today I decided to comment on Tauas blogpost about cats. He didn't have enough information about what he did and what he learnt. I enjoyed commenting and giving feedback to Taua.
