Basic Facts Boxes

LI: To remember basic facts.

Today I decided to do my basic facts boxes. I did the speed demon challenge. My time was three minutes and fifty six seconds. I did pretty good and hope I do better in the future. I enjoyed this activity.

Word Problems | Maths

LI: To solve word problems of different types.

We had to solve 15 different word problems and present how we figured it out on video. If you want to see our videos click the link under the google slide. Everyone in Mr. Wongs maths groups did it. I volunteered first. I like solving word problems because it helps me to work with different types of strategies. 

Jupiter & Neptune | Inquiry

LI: To find out if other planets can support human life.

We had to find out if other planets can support human life with a little bit of help with technology. Such as: Oxygen tanks and ect. We presented in front of Mr. Wongs inquiry group. We did this in groups. I was with Fau & Charlize and we got a 3/3. Mr. Wong rated our presentations by: How good it looks, If the argument was reasoned well & If everyone had a speaking part.

Maori | He Pai Ki Ahau

LI: To state our likings.

He pai ki ahau means: I like. We had to make a DLO about what we like. We had to find out the Maori names on Maori dictionary. He pai ki ahau Tiakaete (Chocolate), Netepaora (Netball), Pihikete (Cookies) & Aihikirī (Ice-Cream).

Kiwi Can | Fun Week

LI: To recap learning from the term.

LS1 group A went to participate in the last session of kiwi can. We played two games which were: Octopus & Invisible touch. We recaped our themes, what each of them meant and our catch phrases. Our four themes were: Honesty, Integrity, Reliability & Responsibility. Honesty means being truthful all the time, integrity means doing the right thing when no one is looking, reliablilty means being trusted to do the right this and responsibility means looking after your property.

SSR Selfie

LI: To summarise and retell a text.

I read a book called Hot Dog! (Circus Time). It was about how Lizzie (The Lizard) was going away to participate in a circus as a clown. To do this she was going to leave her friend group. Lizzie, Hot dog (The Dog) & Kev (The Cat) were best friends since they were little. Hot dog and Kev were very sad about this news. They dicided to suprise Lizzie at the circus and went to her show. I enjoyed this story and it was very interesting.

Constellations | Reading

LI: To skim, scan and summarise information.

Constellation are a group of stars forming an object or pattern. We had to make a chosen constellation with marshmallows and skewers. We did this in partners but we had an extra person. In my group there was Liletina, Shinaye and I. We made two constellations which were Cassiopeia abd Cancer. We did Cassiopeia first then the Cancer constellation. We had to take photos, add information and then make a summary. I enjoyed making constellations.
