Athletics

Today we did athletics. Athletics is where you do sport activities like high jump, long jump, shot put, and discus.

First we needed to sit in lines where it said our year group. Then we needed to go to the place where we were going too start our first activity. Our first activity was high jump. High jump is where you need to jump over this pole and you will land onto a mattress. When I tried it the first time the pole hit me in the back.

Then we moved on to our next activity which was long jump. For long jump we need to run and jump past the yellow flag. When you jump make sure you stand still for about 2 seconds.  Then we moved onto our last 2 activities before we had lunch and got a break before we did sprinting. 

Lastly we did sprinting. For sprinting we needed to do the same thing we did in the morning which is sit in your year group. We got called by rows and if your row is too long then the teachers will make one half go. For the 1st round of sprinting I came 2d place and for the finale I came 4th place. For discus and shotput I came 2d.

I enjoyed this day because I love sports and today was about sports. I did well on the sprinting and shotput. I need to improve on jumping higher on the high jump.

 

Summarising

This week we have been learning about Summarising. Summarising is changing the long sentence into a short sentence.

First we needed to go on the mat with our group and talk about summarising For Example: Miss K showed us the slide on the tv.

Next Miss K read us a book called Goldilocks and we needed to find 20 important words to put in the slide or the paper Miss K gave us. After finding 20 important words we needed to pick 6 most important words. Then we needed to think what the 6 most important words are and make it in to a sentences that flow.

Lastly we needed to make a google draw or slide and explain what summarising is.

I enjoyed this task very much because it is teaching me how to make a long sentence into a short sentence. I did well at decorating the slide. I need to improve on finding and writing the information before decorating the google slide.

First Whara Odie challenged us by speaking Maori. She teaches us colours, and shapes in Maori.

We needed to go to a table and wait for Miss White to give us a paper to write down what we think a stakeholder is. A stakeholder is when someone gets money for technology. Then we needed technology to get more money.

Next we needed to write on the piece of paper what we think and stakeholder is. Then we needed to turn the paper and write 10 facts about rail transportation.

Lastly we made a google slide or a google draw and put your facts in there.

Discus

This week I learned about discus and shot put.

First MrJoe showed us how to stand sideways and throw the discus to where you’re aiming at. I needed three fingers to throw the discus. 

Next we needed to get into lines and go behind cones to throw the discus.

Lastly we did a shot put. For the shot put we needed to do the actions we did last week for shot put. We needed to turn sideways then put one arm in front and the other at the back. Then we need to push our body to throw the ball.

I enjoyed this task because we learned how to throw a discus. I did well on the shot put part. I need to improve on trying to throw the discus.

Synthesising

This week I did synthesis about cars. People that was in group 1 or 2 needed to write 3 facts about cars and the other people that’s in group 3 or 4 needed to write 5 or more facts about cars.

First we needed to make a copy of the synthesising slide and write what information we know and information from websites.

Then we needed to combine the information together to make a sentence.

Lastly we need to make a google draw and write the facts about cars on a google slide.

Motivational Quotes

Next I needed to think of some quotes to make people confident at something that they are not confident at doing. One of mine was “ Never give up on what you want to achieve”.

I really enjoyed this task because I got to learn how to motivate myself and people. I did well on writing the motivational quotes. I need to improve on writing more quotes

Perimetre

Today I learnt how to measure in perimetre.

First we needed to measure the object in metres. The length of the mat near the door was 1 metre and 46 centre. The width for the mat was 86 centimetres. Then we needed to add the numbers up. For an example: 1 metres + 1 metres = 2 metre, right which 46 centimetre +46 centimetre = 93 centimetres so 2 metre + 92 centimetre = 2.92 and 86 centimetres + 86 centimetres = 1.72 metres and 1.72 +2.92 = 4 metres and 64 centimetres. 

 Then we needed to learn what perimeter is. Perimeter is measuring the corner of the area and not the inside of the area. For example: my class mat near the door was measured in centimetres. Then we needed to measure our school field. The measurement for our school field is 201 metres right and our guess is 132m to 450 metres. 

I enjoyed this because I got to learn about perimeter. I did well on measuring because it was simple and easy. I need to improve on calculating it.

Comments

This week we commented on other schools and other classes’ movies.

First we needed to comment on another school before commenting on our own schools.

Next we needed to comment on room 5 or room 7 movies after we commented on another school’s movie.

Lastly we needed to right a nice comment and what they need to improve on in their videos.

I enjoyed watching the movies because they were amazing. I did well on commenting. I need to improve on adding more information.

 

Length

This week I learnt about length.

First I learnt what and how to length. Length is how long the object is. For Example: if I measured a chair and you wanted to measure the length you will have to measure the object with a ruler.

Next I needed the length of a chair,pencil,tray,white board, table, and a object.

I enjoyed this because I learnt about length. I did well on measuring the objects. I need to improve on writing it down.
