SSR Selfie

LI: to read books.
This week for SSR I read a book called the 91 storey tree house. This book is about two kids expanding their tree house to its maximum level.This week I learned by reading a book

Basic Facts

LI:to remember basic maths facts.
For extra work I did basic facts box, a basic facts box is a box with equations that we have to answer. I use this to practice my math for the future math lessons. This week I learned by doing the basic maths box and by practicing my basic facts

Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences

LI- to show an increasing knowledge of how a range of text conventions can be used appropriately
This week for writing we learnt about simple, compound and complex sentences. We also recapped of what homophones were. The differences between the three sentences is that the simple sentence is one idea, the compound sentences are two ideas joined together with a conjunction (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S), and a complex sentence is two sentences joined together but the whole idea has to start with a conjunction. This week I learned by learning about simple, compound and complex sentences.

Expanding Horizons

LI:  to learn part addition and place value addition.

The task for maths was to learn about two maths strategies, one strategy is adding in parts and the other strategy is adding using place value, we had to use these strategies on the problems that were given to us, we had to make a chart of the problems and how we worked the problem out using the strategies. This week I learnt by reading the problems and using the two strategies to figure the problems out. 

Play Table

LI: to build vocabulary
For four weeks we will be working on a play, this week we were working on knowing our lines off by heart and finishing the play table slides. On the play table we had to summarise about the play and record our lines on the slides, we also had to understudy one of the people in our group so if they are away we could play as them. For summarising the play we had to pick some words from the play, define three words and summarise the play under fifty or under words. This week I learnt by summarising the play and learning me and my partners lines.

Maori

LI: to learn the history about the Maori culture.
For our maori session this week we learnt about Tauronga and how its mountain was made. Legend says a Tanipha slave wanted to be dragged out to see, he then changed is mind and tried stoping using his heels, the sun had just rose up and the giant Tanipha was frozen forever, creating the mountain. We also learnt about other maori creature as well. We also wrote down things about us on a google document in Moari. This week I learned by listening to the story.

Sailing

Yesterday some students from LS1 went to Okahu Bay to do the volvo have a go sailing. Only the people who signed a notice was able to participate in sailing. We learn how to set up the mast and how to steer the boat, we also got to experience the Weta,  the Weta is a big sailing boat. After we sailed along the bay we went back to catch some balls the supervisors were throwing out. Thanks to JR, Justin and Steve for letting us sail with them.
