We made an obstacle course that would have 2 cones to get pass and then the target where the ball has to get through, Last the ball has to stick on the bucket in the back of the target. If you got past the cones that's one point, if you get pass the target then that's another point and last if you get the ball on the bucket then that's one points. So you have to try and get 3 points.

Kiwi Can

This week at kiwi can we have a new topic which is Problem Solving. We talked about how we can solve problems,what might have gone wrong and how the problems were solved. We went straight into our energiser which was called human knots. This is where you have to be in a goup of 6 or more and you have to left up one of your hands and grab someone elses hand. Then do the same with the other hand but you have to grab someone elses hand. Then you should be in a knot with everyone in your group. So you then have to get into a circle without letting go of each others hands. If you let go of each others hand then you have to restart. My group was lucky enough because we won the game, we got into a circle without letting go of each others hands. It took us a very long time but we finished in the end. Our Activity was called Dodge ball. To play you need a ball and a bunch of people forming a circle. Then you will be in 5 groups and what ever number has been called you need to run to the middle and the people that are forming the circle need to try and get all of the people in the middle out. The winner is the last person standing in the middle.

We also had to add the words Acute and Obtuse. Acute means something small and Obtuse means something big.

Sky Tower Visit

This week the seniors of Panmure bridge school went to Sky city to visit the Sky tower. We went to the sky tower because it was for us to learn more about structures for our Inquiry topic (Structures). We were split into 2 group which were Group A and Group B. Group B went to the observation room first. We had a great tour/sight seeing in the room because we could look out into the city. Group A went to the little theater room to watch a construction video about how the sky tower was built and lots of facts about it. In Group B we were handed a activity sheet to complete and a pencil. On the activity sheet we had to fill out the places that we could find on the answer sheet. The answer sheets were scattered around the whole of the observation room. In the theater Group A got to do a Q+A to test their facts and what they learnt during the other videos. 

Group B then went to see the refugee room. The room was so that if there were to ever be an emergency then you could use that room to keep safe. There was a orange cupboard that had things to keep people from getting bored like puzzles,coloring books and heaps more. Group A went to the Observation room to do all the fun things we did. Once Group B finished mucking around in the refugee room we went to the theater to do the fun things Group A did. We got to watch a fast forward video on how the Sky tower was built. After we got to do the Q+A. Once we finished that there was a prize for the person who could answer a question correctly. Karlos got the prize for answering the question correctly. So that was that we were then waiting for Group A so that we could go back to school.

She made a slide presentation to explain who maui is and what she learnt. I loved her blurb because it explained what she did and the process she went through to get it finished.

Multiplication | Daily 6

This week I have decided to do another Daily 6. It is my multiplication, I have done stage 1 or 2 but I have done my 11 time tables. I had to write it down 5 times for extra credit. I found writing down the multiplication facts hard because it took a long time to do. But I think that this helps me because I can learn more time tables each week.

Keyboarding | Dancing mat | Typing test

Commenting

This week I have decided to comment on Alayahs blog post. I really liked her blogpost because it had a long blurb. I asked her a question on how long it took to write the blog post.

On the This Vs That D.L.O you had to say whent he bridges were built, The length,Span,Height and width of the bridge,Cost of the bridge,materials that the bridge was made of and the type of bridge that the bridge is. I really enjoyed completeing this activity because I can use my smart searching skills to find out information about things.

Snag Golf/ Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi Sport we had snag golf again. This week we finally got to use the putters after 2 weeks practice we have done pretty good at putting the ball on the target. I was woriking in a group of three with Raera and Nicole. On the first activity we had to try and get the balls into the hoop by swinging our bodies. The second activity was if you got the ball n the water/blue part then thats minus 1 point. If the ball land on the red then that means you have to have another roll. If the ball missed completely then thats another roll. But if it lands on the yellow scream "SNAG!". The third activity had the putter included. So with the putter you have to putt the ball so that it lands on the yellow/Target. My group got the first round winning with 7 points. My group did pretty well so I am proud of them.

Thn youwant to have some music playing. While the music is playing you need to dance around the rope. When the music stops you have to try and snatch a cone. But you are not allowed to dive to get the cone and you are not allowed to be on your knees while the music is playing. The winner is the last person with th last cone.


To play octopus you need to have a hoop and a person holding 2 pool noodles inside of the hoop. Then you want to seperate the girls from the boys. So boys on one end and the girls on the other. Then you need the girls and boys have to get to the other end without getting hit with the pool noodles. If you get taged thn you need to stay in the spot you were taged in. Th winner is the last person not taged. At the end of the day we did GKQ (General Knowldge Questions.) W got 21.5 points for our pizza point. So next week we will need to work on being respectful.

Adding fractions with a different denominator

L.I to add fractions that have different denominators. This week for Maths we learnt how to add fractions that have different denominators. I made a slide presentation on how to add fractions. I used the fractions 3/5 + 4/5. I found out, after a lot of hard thinking that my answer cam up to 50/60. Which is 50 over 60. We had to use multiplication and addition in the explanation.

Snag golf

This week for Kiwi sport it was our second session of our first Sport for Term 3. It was Snag golf. What we learnt was that when we were to hold a golf club we have to move our body to swing. We practiced that by holding a ball and swinging our arms. We also practiced by swinging our body. With the ball we had to throw/roll the ball to the target. If we hit the target we get 0 points. THe goal was to get 0 points. I was in a group of three with Victoria and Alayah. On the first Activity we had to throw/Roll the ball on the target. On the second activity we had to have our toes facing the hall door witch was the right and then swing our arms then throw/roll the ball and see if it landed on the target.On the last activity we had to roll the ball into the hoop. We had 2 turns to get the ball in the goal for all three of the activitys. But next week we might be using the golf club.

Narrative

Link to Narrative  This week for writing we had to write a narrative about a lost family camp out. My narrative was about kids getting lost because the parent walked off without noticing that the kids were being distracted by a rare NZ Bird. The kids then started to look around for their parents but then had to sit out one night. The next morning they saw 2 figures and the figures ran towards the kids and found out that the figures were the parents. We had to write a short narrative, So basically a narrative that we would be able to write in a test (40 minutes) So that was what is was about and what we had to do.

Kiwi Can

This week for Kiwi Can we have a new topic and theme. The new topic is goal setting and our new theme is resilience. The games we played were ball trouble and snatch. To play snatch you need to have belts to tuck in your pockets. Then you need some people. So then you have to spread out. Then someone has to say 3,2,1 GO and then everyone can go and try to snatch the other peoples belts out of their pockets. If someone snatches your belt off you then you are out and if your belt accidentally falls out then you are automatically out. The winner is the last person with their tag on. Now for ball trouble you need to find a partner. There will be 2 balls to play with. You and your partner has to try  and get the ball to the other side but you have to use your body parts and not your hands. For Example: You and your partner need to hold the ball using your back, You and your partner need to hold the ball with you head, so basically with your body parts. After you playing the games we had a talk of what some goals we would like to achieve when we are older. We also talked about small goals we could try and achieve and some big goals we can achieve.
