SSR Selfie - Ninja Kid 2

 I read 27 pages of Ninja Kid 2.

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.

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.

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.
