QAR Template

This week I read a book it was about graffiti and trying to persuade people of how graffiti is good for the community. 

There were four different questions. 

The first one was right there it is when the answer is right there and you can point at it.

The second one was think and search it is when there is lots of different answers in the book.

The third one is author and you it is when the answer is not in the text and you have to use your own knowledge that the author has given you.

Then the last one is on my own it is when you can come up with an answer yourself.  

Then I had to answer ten questions about the book.

This was challenging because the question was hard and because I did not understand some of the words in the question.  

Kapa Haka performance

This week we watched a kapa haka group perform for the school.

The first thing that happened was that they did an entrance ceremony and then started to perform. When they entered they used a conch to let the people know they are coming. Then they introduce their weapons and tools during a song and dance.

The last thing LS1 did was play a Maori game called Maui and Matua with Matua Ngarimu. We used the rakau's and we would have to move to the left if they said Maui but if they say Matau we would move right. 

We thanked the kapa haka group by the boys from our kapa haka group performing the haka.

I enjoyed watching this kapa haka performance. My favourite part was when they showed different moves for the Rakau.

Resource Requisition l Inquiry

 Most natural disasters are common and can be found at any time in the world.   

Humans need shelters and protection during a natural disaster. Storms may be common disasters but are really powerful sometimes.

All materials can be useful for something during a natural disaster, e.g: wool can keep you warm, stainless steel is a strong material that can not break, cardboard is an inside wall, etc.

Shelters windows could use strong clear plastic, since they are strong it would be hard for it to break, Popsicle sticks can break easily but if you put a lot of layers there's a chance it can not break

Mathematics also can help during buying products to prevent natural disasters. The mathematics to measure our products we are using for the shelter.

Natural disasters come in all sorts, and sometimes make global problems around the world.

Kiwi sports

This week I practised three man settle and two man settle.

First I did three man settle. It's when one person with the ball runs forwards and gets touch. 

Then the second person runs and passes the ball to the third person.

After that I did two man settle. It's when one person run forwards and gets touch.

Then the second person runs and passes the ball to the person who got touched.

After we did a touch rugby game. We were split into three different group two teams play and one team subs. 

I had fun using three and two man settle in the game because it gets us down the field faster.  

Division

This week I learned about division.

I first had to make a google slide and write down what division is.

Division is splitting a group into equal pieces. 

Then I talked about what remainders are and how to divide the remainder equally.

Remainders are the amount that remains from a equation.

You can work out the question by leaving the remainder or dividing it equally.

After that I talked about how to use division to solve strategy's.

In division you can solve strategy's by using advance level.

Then I talked about place value in division.

When you are dividing big numbers that are 10x bigger they move to the left.

 

Maori

This week we learnt about names and conversation. 

We first had a list of English and Maori names that I to matched together.

The names were easy because the Maori and English names sound the same. 

Example: Lorna in Maori is Rona, Mary in Maori is Mere.

It was fun and easy for me.

Reading Tasks

This week for reading we did three tasks for this week.

The first task I did was table mat. You had to find six keywords and then find the definition for the words. 

Then I had to find 4 fact, 2 key question, and questions I would ask.

The next task I did was making connections. I had to do a text to self, text to text , and a text to world.

After that I did Synthesis I had to write my prior knowledge.

Then I had to talk about my new information that I learned from my book.

After that I had to talk about my new understanding.

Maori

 This week we learned how to translate names in Maori

We changed letters because the Maori alphabet doesn't have some letters like J S and B.

Then we had a whole list of names to swap the letters.

I enjoyed learning about names and learning new things.

LI: To revise and translate words from Te Reo Maori.

Knowledge

For maths we had to share knowledge and tell each other something we learned from measuring, addition, subtraction, and geometry 

I talked about Addition and how you use this strategy in a maths problem.

Then I gave him a example There are 7 apples in one basket and 4 apples in the other. So, we add 7 and 4 to find the total number of apples. To add 7 and 4, we can count forward 4 steps from 7 The symbol used to indicate Addition is + (plus symbol). So, 7 and 4 can be written as 7 + 4.

He taught me about converting measurement and showed me examples like Adding a zero can be wrong for example 50+0= 50. 50 can’t change to 500.

Then I changed partners I talked to him about money and how money works on a place value system.

I gave him some questions like I have 30c I find $1 and my friend gives me $5.60 I buy a candy bar that cost $2.70 How much money do I have left.

He just gave me example like If someone have $10.30 and my friend gave me $6.70 and I find $2.40 how much do I have?

Then he showed me how to work it out First I add 30 and 70. 30+70=$1.00. Then I add $10.00 and $6.00=$ 16.00 and $2.00 equal $18.00. Lastly I add $1.00+$18.00+40=$19.40.

It was hard teaching I don't think I would be a good teacher. I would be better next time.

Touch rugby

For kiwi sports we practice skills for touch rugby.

A two man settle is when the person with the ball plants it. Then the person behind him picks it up and passes the ball back.

A three man settle is when the person with the ball plants it. The dummy-half comes and picks up the ball and then passes the ball to the third person.

A three man settle is when one person plants the ball. Then second person grabs the ball and then passes it to the third person. 

Learning these skills helped to get down the field faster. 

Inter school touch rugby tournament

On Wednesday some people from ls1 and ls2 went to Dunkirk Reserve for a friendly touch rugby tournament. The competition was split into year 5, year 6, year 7, year 8 different year groups.

I played in the year 5 team. The first team we vs was Sylvia park we lost to them by 5 nil. 

We talked about what we had to work on. We had to work on spreading out on the field and all of us not running after the person with the ball. 

Then we vs st Patrick it was a draw the scores were 1 to 1. We did really well it was just people saying  negative words to each other.

After that we vs Sylvia park 2 it was a draw the scores were 3 to 3. We did good we just had to practice our catching. 

Lastly we vs Stone field we lost the score was 5 to 0.

It was challenging and I learned new skills in touch rugby.

 

Table mat

 LI: To make connections.

For reading I had to fill out my table mat. 

I first had to read the book and write 6 words that I don't know.

Then I had to pick two words and write the definition for them.

After that I needed to write four facts about the story.

Then I had to find two key questions about the story and questions I would ask.

Lastly I needed to write down my prior knowledge that I learnt from the story.
