Decimal Facts | Money Money Money!

LI: To earn and look after money by creating with maths.

Mr. Wong's maths group are working as companies and employees to earn money, credits & points. We have to complete an activity to earn money. You can get bonus points by making a good quality work, finishing work before the time limit & doing a tutorial. I made the game with Te Raumati. I enjoyed the process of making the decimal fact game.

Swimming | Water Safety

LI: To learn water safety skills.

Our first lesson for water safety at the YMCA lagoon was used to get into groups and show the instructors our swimming ability. I was put into Livvy's swimming group. In Livvy's group we practised kicking in streamline pose. We did a little activity were we got a toy under the water. I enjoyed the first swimming session.

Duffy Theatre | Act

 

LI: To get influenced by reading.

LS1 went to the hall to watch a duffy act. The characters were the Dismantler, the Puzzler, Duffy, Samantha, Samantha's mum, and their aunt. The act was about a kid named Duffy and his cousin Samantha who get sucked into a game. It happened because Duffy put on his aunties glasses and did her dance that she used to do all the time. They found out that their auntie was a computer science person and creating the game that Sam was addicted to which was Magic Bricks. They found out the secret algorithm to getting out of the game. They had a limited amount of time and got clues with the magic bricks because they had letters on the side spelling out words. The game was based on Minecraft and Jumanji. I enjoyed the act and my favourite characters were the Dismantler and Samantha.

Kiwi Can | Resilience | Emotions

LI: To learn about emotions.

LS1 group A went to kiwi can for our first session for the term. We had a new theme which was resilience and a new topic which was emotions. We talked about what emotions are. Emotions are when a person has a feeling. Then we continued with the types of emotions. 

After that we did our energizer which was Silent Disco. We had to talk to each other about what emotion we were going to show without talking. We got into groups of three and my group did the sad emotion. After that we did our activity which we guessed emotions.

For this Ms. Mack chose someone to put on headphones and listen to music and then Ms. Mack would tell us to act a type of emotion and the person with headphones on had to try and guess what emotion we were acting. After our activity we did GKQ (General, Knowledge, Questions). 

Our catchphrase was - Kiwi Can says, If you feel it, let it out, don't doubt, just get it all out. I enjoyed going to kiwi can. My favourite part was when we did GKQ.

Commenting

LI: To give someone feedback.

I decided to comment on Elaario's blogpost about what a fraction is. It was a cool DLO but his blurb didn't provide enough information about what he did, how he did it and what he used. I asked if he enjoyed making the DLO.

H.I.I.T | Workout

LI: To get fit, workout and stay healthy.

H.I.I.T stands for: High, Intesity, Interval, Training. LS1 was doing H.I.I.T to stay healthy and be fit. We did three rotations with our partners. My partner was Alayah.

Our first rotation was:

1.  Mountain climbers -  We had a choice to do it on the floor or on the edge of the stage. We had to put our hands on the floor and then kick your legs towards your chest

2. Push ups - We had to put our hands on a mat and we could chose the knee push ups, the proper push ups and the proper push ups but when you come back down you can let your hands go.

3. Pull ups - We had to position our hands on the stick while lying down then bend your legs towards your backside. After doing that we had to push with our chest and go as close as possible to the stick and come back down then repeat it until its the other partners turn.

The first group went to the hall to do the easy workout and the second group was doing the hard workout. I enjoyed the H.I.I.T session.

Narritive | Writing

LI: To write a narrative in form of the play

This week for writing we were learning about dialogue. We needed to write a story for the other writing groups. We had to make our sentences make sense and adding capital letters in the front of the full stops. Our writing group needed to pick a character that was in the story. We needed to make a google doc and make the speeches. We needed to group up with someone in our writing groups. We had to name our story we called it: St. Patrick's day steal.
