Finger Joints

These pass few weeks of Term 1 on Mondays and Tuesdays we have been given a project to work on and finish. The project was to make your own finger jointed wood tray. But first we had to learn about the tools and how to use them. Then we had to practice on a practice wood then got to start on our project. 

Social Responsibility refletion

What was your level last week:

I think my level for p.e was level 2

Why were you on that level:

I think that because I showed at least minimal respect to the teacher.

what do you need to do to be higher level:

• help others
• follow instructions
• communication

Social Studies - Government Decision

I think that foreign land owners should not be allowed to sell NZ bottled water overseas because it 

wasn't originated from where they came from but it was originated from New Zealand.

Again I still dis agree on foreign buys selling water because they have water orf there own in ther 

own country or else it might-not be healthy/clean

The Government is thinking of banning Plastic Bags

Today I read an article about the Government banning plastic bags.

I disagree with the decision the MP Simon Bridges has made because some people might need it for there scraps and rubbish in their house

The people involved in this decision was the National Leader and MP Simon Bridges and the Opposition was Jacinda Ardern, Labour Party Leader and current Prime minster. Then there was another person involved and that was  Eugenie sage , the Undercurrent of the Green Party.

This will have an impact on New Zealanders jobs and household spendings.

Summer Learning Journey 2016

Kiwisport (Shot Put)

IALT: position the placing of a shot put.


Today at 9:40 we had to go to Kiwi sport. When we got walked down to the field we Coach Allen and Coach Kelly was waiting for us. While we all were listening to Coach Allen he said we are going to play Dodge ball for our warm up game.

After playing dodge ball we had to put ourselves into 1 group of 3 people. It was Me,Nesi and Sana, when we were in our groups we got given a soccer ball and we had to throw it like a shot put to each other.

To throw a a shot put we had to put it in our finger tips and put it in between our neck and chin. Then we had to bring the soccer balls in and then everyone was kicking the Soccer balls high in the air and then they caught it and put it in the bag. Then the instructor (Coach Allen) showed us how to position the shot put. Then we had to throw the shot put as far as we can.

I partnered up with Sana because we only had 1 shot put in a pair. When I had a go it went far enough as I thought it will go. But when I saw Sana throw it,it was good, Her positioning was on point. Then we had to put the light shot puts back into the bag and head off to class.






What I found challenging was throwing the shot put  ball because it was quite heavy to throw the shot put. What I learned was that the shot put was green and it was light. And I knew that there was wet sand in it because the shot out was very light for a real 1. What I enjoyed was learning how to position myself while throwing a shot put because I never knew how to throw 1 until today. My next steps are is to try and practice with a tennis ball in my own time so I can be good at when I older and be like Valerie Adams.

House Meetings

IALT:Learn new chants made by seniors in our house meetings.

Yesterday after our trip from Te tuhi we had to pack up our class and get ready to go to our house meetings. If yous dont know what house meetings are it is your group you got put in for athletics when you start school.

 There are 4 teams and they are named after roads and places near the war area and they are Alamein (Yellow Team),Tripoli(Blue Team),Benghazi(Green Team) and My team Tobruk(Red Team). When we were at our house team we had 3 new chants we had to learn by Friday because friday is our athletics day.

Im not gonna share our chants on my blog yet because I'm gonna do an after experience blog and show yous the chants. When we were practicing our chants we had to say all the way from the beginning until it was time for us to go home.

What I found challenging was learning the new chants because they are new and I am not a fast learner. WHat I enjoyed was having a good time with the seniors that was in my group. What my next steps are is to try and get access on the netbook at home and learn it at home.

Te Tuhi Reflection

IALT: Reflect on what I learned at the Te tuhi art gallery session

Yesterday we went to the Te Tuhi art gallery to have our last session about Collages,Posters and Storytelling. In the Middle block we waited for Room 10 to comeback from the Te Tuhi trip because  we go when they come back. When they came back it was our turn to go to the Te Tuhi art gallery. When we arrived we went into the waiting spot where we wait for Salome(our instructor). When Salome came we went to the Te Tuhi auditorium and because we had to do a play and everyone had to be in a group of 4 but some were in a group of 4,5 and 6. But for our play we had only 4 people,3 girls(Losana,Akanesi and Me) and 1 boy Falakiko. But for our play we did Sunday school and the Title was The life of a Tongan Christian. Here is the video of our play.

After because in the auditorium we went into the workshop/art room and had to make a poster about our role play. Here is that posters that class mates created to our roleplay...

We were in there for about 1/2 hours making posters. AFter we had to clean up and come back to school so we can go to our house meetings.

What I found challenging was making the poster because I didnt know what to do to for the poster so I just copied Nesi. What I enjoyed was working and making the play with Sana,Kiko and Nesi. What my next steps are is to try and make the poster stand out more. What I learned from the Te Tuhi experience was that posters are in the public.

+Maths+

IALT:Work on my basic facts so it can help me when I go to college.

Today after our fitness session outside we came back into class and had to to our Maths. When I came back from the staff room I came and got the Subtraction Basic Facts worksheet from the Islander Maths group basket. I didn't do all of it because it was time for us to blog and I was mostly talking and playing the Subtraction Flash cards with Losana and Leilani. My next steps would be to not talk that much because I dont finish my task and it interferes with my learning.

What I found challenging was thinking about the question and answering it as fast as I can. It was challenging for me because I dont really work on my Subtraction only my Multiplication and Addition facts. What I could work on next is to try work on my Subtraction basic facts. What I enjoyed was playing the flash cards with Losana and Leilani. The flash cards we used to play with were Multiplication and Subtraction ones.

Writing

WALT: understand the purpose for explanation writing

So last week we had a session on Explanation writing. If yous dont know what explanation writing is it is when you have to explain what you're writing about. The task we had to do was that we had to write about something in the community and then do a S.E.E structure about it and have 3 paragraphs.

What u need in a Explanation writing is...

1. Title
2. Introduction
3. Paragraph 1,2 and 3
4. Conclusion

In the Explanation Writing Document I was writing about The House of Jesus. What I wrote about is The miracles he gave people, How he feed over 500 people,how he turned water into wine, how people pray to him and when he answers our prayers. After writing all of those paras  I had to find examples to back my statement. Then I was told to blog.

I haven't finished my writing but when im finished I will surely blog about it. What I found challenging was writing the examples because I think some of them didn't make sense so I changed it. What I enjoyed was nearly finishing. What I need to work on is coming up with some more ideas so if I finish this doc I could make another 1.

Kiwi Can Jam

IALT:Reflect what I learned during our Kiwi Can Jam Practices.

Today and the last week of Term 3 was so cool because we just got put in to the Kiwi Can Jam Performance. The Kiwi can jam Performance is when you create something and then show it at the Performance NIght. What Miss Lily created was a Dance and a A song that was already made. The song was called Hold on, Change is coming and the song we are dancing to is by Chris brown and it is called Gimme and the other song is Im the one by Dj Khaled. How the routine goes is that  Me,Nesi and Losana are SInging the Hold on Song and then the others girls are gonna do a dance to I'm the one and then we are gonna combine and dance to the Gimme That. After we all went through the whole routine we had to do it more times so we could get use to is

What I found challenging was learning the song because I have never heard that song before. What I enjoyed was that we had funny time when we cake it.

Wednesday reflection

IALT:pick a hobby and deeply think about it

Wednesday morning just before 9:30 we had to work on our Ako presentation. For the Ako presenting afternoon. We had to pick a hobby we like and we had to work with a classmate and I wanted to work with Losana. What Losana and I picked for our Ako presenting afternoon hobby was Music/ Singing. In the presentation it talks about what makes us, us and who our inspirations are,Who can support us to guide us there and More. It took us 2 and a Half days to finish this presentation. But Wednesday afternoon was when we presented to the whanau and teachers who came to see our classroom. Losana and I came late to class because we lost track of the time. When we got in the classroom Ms Komor was calling our name to give us our name tag.When we got our name tag we went to our station and had to wait for the whanau to come and ask what we picked for our topic. After all of the whanau/teachers who came only 1 parent and 1 teacher came then we had to get our bags and go home.
What I found challenging was having a little bit of time to finish the whole presentation with my partner because there are 14 slides in the presentation. What I enjoyed was working with Losana because I always work with her in other presentations.

Cybersmarts

IAL: how to create a code and leaern new things

Today in the morning block Mrs Shearing came into my class to have our last Cybersmart lesson for this term. But in today's lesson we had a lesson about HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML describes the structure of the webpage, what text, images or links are on the page. She gave us this work because she was working with Year 12's at Tamaki College and she asked if my class could do it and the Year 12's said no because its was quite hard for them.

While we were doing this work we were asked to go on the site where we are doing the HTML thing and we had to learn codes and new things. The site is called Codepen.io. We had to do what Mrs shearing wanted us to do and that was to learn how to type a code and it would come up with it. On our class site is some shortcuts you can do on the Codepen.io site and here are the shortcuts.

After putting some codes on and  colours on the codepen.io site we had to save everything that is on the top right hand corner of the screen. Then we had to close our netbooks because it was time for us to pack up and get ready to go and get ready and go and have our morning tea and then come back up because we had to go swimming after that.

What I found challenging was that I didn't understand what the codes were until I went on the site and looked at all the codes. What I enjoyed was that I learned how to make a code.
