This story is about a kid name Nelson. He got his ninja powers from his dad but his dad's twin brother want to captured Nelson.

I dislike Nelsons dad's twin brother because he want to captured Nelson.

Basic Facts Boxes

I did a speed demon challenge.

It was subtraction upt o 20.

I got 100/100 in 3 minutes 21 seconds.

I think I need to be on a harder level because I finished this in 3 minutes 21 seconds.

Simple Machines

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines?

They are wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. The 3 similar simple machines help us do work quickly.

Reciprocal Reading

We did reciprocal reading on a PDF called what we ate. 

The five roles are leader, predictor, clarifier, questioner and summariser. The PDF is about what soldiers ate during the war. They ate: bully beef, jam, canned fruit and vegetables, lack of vitamin c, hard biscuits and water.

The most helpful role was summarizer because they help the group remember what happened in the story

Next we read another PDF called where we lived. This text is talking about where the soldier lived and the curreny in 1914.

The most helpful role was the questioner because it unpacked lots of questions that we couldn't understand during the text.

Calendar Reading

Step 1: Get a calendar.

Step 2: Circle the date.

Step 3: Write the day. 

Step 4: Write the date that you circled.

Step 5: Write the month.

Step 6: Wirte the year.

Introduction

I learnt how to write a hook in an introduction.

First, we watched a video that explains hook of an introduction and what a introduction is. Then we did a hook about Mr Oglivie.

Next, we worte an introduction and a hook about three different topics. Did you know that it takes 400 coca beans to make one pound of chocolate. There are 4 mechanisms on how chocolate are made. They are cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sugar, milk powder of alternative milk. The process can take up to eight days. depending on the species of cocoa bean.

Then, we wrote an introduction and a hook about fireworks. Did you know that the largest ever firework display was in Thunder Over Louisville? Firework use gunpowder, metal salt and strontium carbonate (red firework). When they mix togerther it makes a loud bang.

Lastly, we wrote an introduction and a hook about the life cycle of a butterfly. Did you know that female butterflies lay their eggs under a lear or plant? The life cycle of a butterfly takes 28 days to 32 days. Butterflies have four stages of life. They are: eggs, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly.

I think I should work on my hook and introductions to add more information.

Balancing

Today I learnt how to balance by using sport equipment. We had five stations with a different sport equipment.

First I went to my first station which was hockey. I had to balance while hitting the ball. I figured out that my right leg was easier while balancing and left leg was harder. This challenge was easy. I don't need to work on my balance.

Then I went to the next station which was the frizbee. This was hard because I had to stand on one leg while passing across the body. 

Next I went to the basketball activity. I had to dribble the ball then pass it to our partner on one leg. This activity was hard because I kept losing my balance.

After I went to the netball activity. I had to throw a netball back and forth between eachother while standing on one leg. This was easy because I just had to balane on one leg and pass it to each other.

Lastly we used the rugby equipment. We passed by standing on the side and passing across the body.

This was easy because I was balancing very well so I could catch the ball.

Maori Directions & Kitchen Labels

I learnt the Maori directions that can help me in the classroom.

First we did an activity, we had to label 10 kitchen items in maori I thought of microwave, oven, and knife.

I used maori dictionary to help me label the kitchen items. 

Lastly we learnt runga which means up and raro which means down. Kei runga i te pukapuka which means It's on the book.

I enjoyed this task because it help me pronouce the kitchen labels.

Time Problem Solving

 Here are 3 question. Try to answer them.

Reciprocal Reading

 This week we did reciprocal reading to read the text "Maori Pioneer Battalion".

In reciprocal reading there is a Leader, Predictor, Clarifier, Questioner, and a Summariser.

The Leader has to assign the roles to the group and introduced the author and the text.

The Predictor has to tell what is going to happen next.

The Clarifier has identify tricky words and phrases.

The Questioner ask questions about why it happened

The Summariser thinks about the main ideas in the section we have read.

I enjoyed doing reciprocal reading, my favourite role is the clarifier because I can identify the words.

This was easy because I learn the life cycle butterfly.

Basic Facts Boxes

I did a speed demon challenge

I got 100/100 in 3 minutes 44 seconds.

It was subtraction up to 5.

I think I need to go on a harder level.

Comment Thread

 Comment thread is making a conversation with another person. Hector commented on my blog it was about cause and effect. If you did this activity again then would you add another cause and effect? Comment threads help with our learning so we learn to ask questions when people reply back that also helps us learn more.

 

 

SSR Selfie - Ninja Kid 7

 I read 60 pages of Ninja Kid 7.

This story is about a kid name Nelson. He used his grandma glove that can make toys to life for the science fair.

I dislike Nelson because got the glove without asking.

I think I need to go on a harder level because I got 100/100 and did it quickly.

Manners | PB4L

Manners are used for showing respect to others. They use formal language. 

You can use manners when someone greets you and give something to you.

Manners are used when someone opens the door for you, greet you and saying the peoples name.

Manners show the best you have to offer and encourage others to be their best.

Examples of manners are; Thank you, please, may I and you're welcome

Manner are used to respect people and that means they should respect you.

Problem Solving

 In groups we had to solve time problems.

First we had to solve the anwser.

Next we explained how we work the anwser out.

Lastly we discussed our results with Mr Ogilvie and the class.

I think this is easy because I already know about time.

Simple Machines

 We found 6 simple machines in our school.

 These are the 6 simple machines.

1. Incline plane

2. Wedge

3. Lever

4. Wheel and Axle

5. Pulley

6. Screw.

Cause and Effect Sentences

Cause and effect is the relationship between two things when one thing makes something else happen.

Cause is something that made it happen. 

Effect is something that got effected by the cause.

Casaul language is something that makes a cause and effect make sense. For example it was cold outdoors therefore they had to stay inside.

Cause and effect help build an understanding for the mechanisms we are explainaing.

Balancing

We took photo of balancing in our enviroment.

The first photo we took was balancing on a concrete.

The second photo we took on the playground equipment.

The third photo we took on the playground equipment but with an assistance.

The fouth photo we took was balancing with our group partner.

The last photo we took was with our group members but with the least amount of contact to the floor.

It was hard to balance because I was balancing on other people.

  

Postions

We learnt different prepostions in Maori tenei tena and tera.

The first was tenei where means here. For example he pukapuka tenei which means the book is here.

The next postion was tena which means there. For example he pene tena which means the pen is there.

The last postions was tera which means over there. For example he turu tera which means the chair is over there.

Harry's War

All text include a range of words that share information to the readers.

Keywords are words that unlocked a whole lot of information.

Keywords are used in a sentence in a specific way like keyword - dodge reminder - avoiding something you don't want to do.

Keywords can help the reader understand more in a shorter time.

L:I To use Keywords to retell the text

L.I To expand vocabulary using keyword

Time Difference

I completed a task called times differences.

First I figured out the hour between the two time which was 4 hours.

Next I had to figure out the minutes between the two time which was 35.

Lastly I combined the two number and I get 4 hours and 35 minutes.

I think I need to practise some more because I was struggling on the last one.

Basic Facts Boxes

 I complete a can-do task called basic facts boxes.

I got 100/100 in 4 minutes 30 seconds.

I think I need to be on a harder level.

Explaination Plan

 I wrote an explaination plan about how to be fit.

First, I wrote the introduction. Being fit involves a mixture of eating healthy food, getting rest, also going to the gym and having good hygiene.

Next, I wrote my mechanisms. Working out - To be fit you need to work out by using exercising equipment. Use exercising equipment like the treadmill and a upright bike. Eating Right - To be fit you need to eat healthy food not fast food. Eating right is eating healthy food like vegetables and fruits. Resting - To be fit you need to rest because if you don’t rest you might get cancer.  To be fit you need to rest so your body can recover.

Lastly I did my summary. Being fit is important because it will improve your health by Resting, Eating Right, and Working out.

Next time when I write an explaination plan, I should be more specific about my mechanisms.

Balance

Group B did range of learning activity with our body movement.

First Mr Ogilvie talked with us what balancing was. I try to balence in different ways while my partner push me.

Next we had to cross the balancing beam without touching the floor. 2 person from each side had to pass the beam at the same time.

Lastly we had to balance on a soccer ball. We balanced on the ball and 2 people held on each side to start to make sure we were balanced.

I learnt that while looking down it is easier to balance than looking up.
