Measurement

This week for Maths we had to fill out a forum that was made by Mr Ogilvie. We got to choose what we wanted to be cleared up by (Measurement,Statistics,Number addition or Number subtraction). I chose  Number addition, but I was the only person that chose number addition so I got put with the measurement group. In my D.L.O I showed the conversion of the measurements. I also made an activity that is interactive so people from around the world can do my activity.

World war 1 | Peace | Interactive

This week for inquiry we have a new topic. It is peace. We learnt about World war 1. We learnt about the things that were included in the world war 1. We had to find out information about Central powers,Triple entente, Lusitania, Zimmerman Telegram, Treaty of Versailles, 14 points and League of nations. We had to find information about it and find an image of it. On the next slide we had to do a time line. It was where we had to find the year of a colour. In the colour/box/text it has a statement kind of thing. We had to match it with a year and the year that is more older goes further up and the newest year would have to go further down. On the vocabulary slide we had to also find some pronunciations for the Vocab.

General knowledge | Daily 6

This week I have decided to do my General knowledge. The country that I have decided to learn about it Hawaii. I learnt the Capital of Hawaii, the leader/political, the money and much more. I had to pick from the Term 4 range because it is term four. I had to pick out of the week one range as well because it is week 1. For general knowledge you need to complete the slides. I used my smart searching skills to find out the information i needed. Some of the information I found I already knew.

Conflict & Resolution

This week for reading we learnt about the meanings of what Conflict and Resolution meant. We also learnt about where a conflict could happen. For example it could happen in a disagreement,argument or a fight between 2 people or a group of people. This week all of Mr Wongs reading group had to read a book called Sparks. We had to read the first to pages of the story and think of what the conflict could of been. My connection with this story is text to self, (Conflict) Because I hate sharing with my cousins and they always use it and I never know about it. Our parents would always get mad at us for not sharing to we always have to share. (Resolution) We half whatever we have so that it is even between all of us. The conflict in this story was how Dillon didn't want to to share his scooter with Harley but Harley wanted to have a ride on Dillon's scooter. The resolution to the story is that the scooter got stolen so therefor there wont be any fight over the scooter. 

Co-Co Crunch | Cybersmart | Media

This week was our first session for Term 4. We carried on with our media construction from term 3. This week we got to check out a cereal media site. It was a game where we could create a little poster about Co-Co crunch. We were allowed to make a google drawing that used arrow to point at a something and explain how it attracts kids attention. We had to add text boxes to write what companies put on cereal boxes for that catches kids eyes. In the game we had to customise our own cereal box.

Maori

This week was our first lesson on Maori. Mrs Whaea Odie read us a book to us. She read the book to us 2 terms ago. We then got to watch a video of a man drawing in sand Link. After we watched the video we got to learn a new song called Hoki mai e tama ma. We learnt it by looking at lyrics and listening to the song. The Song was very catchy so i caught onto it pretty fast. After that we had to get our Computers and search up Rohe of NZ. We found a link to a site that showed us places of where the Maori tribes stayed. We learnt that they stayed near the sea because there was food for them to eat. They would sometimes find coconut trees and grab the coconuts off the tree. Because it has coconut water in it and it has the white food part in it. So the Maori tribe keep it in the back of their canoe so if they really need something to drink and eat they would have the coconut.

Kiwi Can

This week was our first session for Kiwi Can. We have a new leader that will be with us for this term and next year. We have a new topic and new theme, the topic is Respect. The theme is "For our School".

Energiser: Before we got into talking about our new topic and theme we got straight onto our energiser. our energiser was called "Rules Vs No rules". We had to play tag as our demonstration. For no rules everyone was in, so basically everyone had to tag each other. For the rules part Mr Matt and Miss Paige were the 2 taggers. Mr Matt and Miss Paige had to try and tag everyone. If you were tagged you needed to stand or sit on the lino.

Talk about new Topic and Theme:
After the energiser we got talked about our Theme and Topic. We talked about what respect could be or how we can show it. Respect is where you have to treat people the way you want to be treated. We then talked about our theme "Four our school" So basically our topic and theme were combined. Respect for our school. We had to talk about how we could show respect while in class or outside on the play ground/ field. We said that we could listen to the teacher while they are talking, when a teacher tells you to do something you do it and more.

Activity:
Next we played our activity. For our activity we had to do role play. For our role play we had to choose if we were to do the good role play or the bad one. For the role play it was about students and 1 teacher about to start having share lunch. There were also 2 new people. But the new kids forgot to bring lunch. So then we started . We had 2 people as the students 1 person as the teacher and 2 other people to be the new kids. In my group we decided to do a good role play and not a bad one. For our play we had Angelica talk to Ellenora and Miiana and she told them to get out their food for a share lunch. Then Angelica would talk to Victoria and I, She would tell us to get our lunch but we didn't bring any lunch. So the students said "Its alright we have enough food to share" So the new kids joined.
