🌊What Is So Special About Estuaries?(Solo Taxonomy)🌊

IALT:Reflect on what's so special about Estuaries.

Today my teacher Miss Kormor was off from work and we had a reliever named Mr Thippa(Mr T). We were given a DLO from Miss Kormor to work on including Solo Taxonomy for Reading. Here is the SOLO Taxonomy order, 

Pre-Structural:Ideas you're not sure about

Uni-Structural:1 relevant Idea

Multi-Structural:Having a lot of Ideas

Relational:Making connections to a big picture

Extended Abstract:Thinking outside of the box

Just before we read the text we had to write about what you know about this topic. Me and Losana didn't know what the topic was about so we said that we haven't heard about it,we also had to research about what Estuaries means. The questions that we given to us were...

• What we knew about the topic before reading it
• How many ideas do you have
• How many ideas can you like together
• What do I know about reading the text
• How can I apply what I have read to life
• Have your thoughts changed it all

The me and Losana read the text and had to finish the presentation. Then we finished the presentation just before the Morning bell rang.

What I enjoyed about this about what we read was that it was to do with Solo Taxonomy.What I found challenging was that I didn't understand what the article was about so I asked the teacher.My next steps are to try find the words I don't understand and find what they mean on Google.

🔍Kiwi Sport Reflection🔍

WALT:Reflect on what we did at Kiwi Sport

Today after writing about pollution we went to the hall to have another KiwiSport lesson with Ben at 9:40 and it was Badminton.Firstly we played Stuck in the mud but we had to run  sideways like you have to fully turn sideways and run.Then we had to go back inside the hall and had to listen to Ben.We had to find a buddy and I was buddied with Losana.We had to get 1 Shuttle and a Racket each.

Then Ben explained to to the people with right handed to put your Right foot forward and take 1 or 2 steps to hit the Shuttle,Then he explained to the people who are left handed and they have to put there left foot forward and take to steps to hit the shuttle.Then we had to stand opposite each other and had to forehand hit the shuttle to you partner using the steps.Then Ben explained to us how to hit the shuttle with your backhand grip while moving towards the shuttle.

Ben said we had to put our left leg in front if you were a right handed and had to put your right foot back if you were a left handed,he told us that if we are a right handed we had to put our left foot in front and hand to step across with our right foot.Then we had relays and I was with Losana again and we had to stand opposite again and had to use our technique we learned and we had to use it in our relays.Then we had to finish and we had to go over what we learned,then we had to put our Rackets and Shuttle away and had to line up outside to walk back up to class.

Today I didn't feel like going Kiwi sport because it was early in the morning and I was cold but when we played stuck in the mud I got warmer and warmer. My Highlight of today was playing stuck in the mud because it was quite hard to run sideways.What I found challenging was when we had to take 2 steps to hit the shuttle.What I also liked about today was that everyone got to participate in our warm-up game stuck in the mud.

Math's (Place Value)

IALT:Reflect on what me and my Pairs have done for Maths

Today I was figuring out 12 problems that I have figured out with Metui and Losana and it was about Place Value.We had to figure out the question's by expanding the place value number.For an example were were given in the place value task was 3478 = 3000+400+70+8.If you can work through this problem it wold make more sense.Forwards would be 3000+400+70+8 and it will equal 3,478 and Backwards would be 8+70+400+3000 will equal the same number 3,478.Then we completed the task and here it is.

1. 348 = 300 + 40 + 8
2. 764 = 700 + 60 + 4
3. 809 = 800 + 9
4. 3698 = 3000 + 600 + 90 + 8
5. 5087 = 5000 + 80 + 7
6. 5607 = 5000 + 600 + 7
7. 23087 = 2000 + 300 + 80 + 7
8. 43765 = 40000 + 3000 + 700 + 60 + 5
9. 50790 = 50000 + 700 + 90
10. 458701 = 400000 + 50000 + 8000 + 700 + 1
11. 4658087 = 400000 + 60000 + 5000 + 800 + 80 + 7
12. 3008703 = 300000 + 8000 + 700 + 3

Then we finished it to a high standard and i think we got all of the questions right.What I enjoyed was that I got to work with my cousins and finished the task.What I found challenging was that the 12 question was hard because it was a big number to say.What my next steps are is to try read the large place value number.

Valentine's day Research (Origin of Valentines)

WALT: Understand the Origin of Valentines

Today is Valentine's and my teacher gave us a task and it was to answer question facts that relate to Valentines and they are ...

• Where it originated from?
• 
  

  Why do we celebrate Saint Valentine's Day
• 
  

  How was Valentine's first celebrated and more

We got to pick if we wanted to work in pairs or individually.I wanted to work in pairs with Losana because if I got to work individually it wouldn't be finished.When we were working together we got to research questions and find what they mean that we didn't know.The question was "How it was first Celebrated".We made sure to answer the questions we were given to a High standard,and we made sure it was appropriate.

What I learned today was that Valentine's Day was from the Ancient Festival,Lupercalia.What I Found challenging about this task was that it was hard answering the questions about Valentine's day.What I enjoyed was that I did this activity on Valentine's day and finished it with Losana in the Second block.My Next steps are is to try and research more about Valentine's.
