Kiwi Can

LI:Is to understand people emotions.

Our theme was resilience and out topic was emotions and our catch phrase for this week our catch phrase was, "Kiwi can says if you feel it, let it out, don't doubt. Just let it all out.

Energiser
This week our energiser was, "how do you feel?" We had to high five 10 people or more. Next we had to do 25 star jumps. Then we had to do something challenging, we had to hold a plank for 10 seconds then we had to hold it for a minute. That was the challenging part of the energiser. Then our kiwi can teacher asked us how we felt when we did those challenges.

Activity
This week our activity was called, "emotion chrades" We had to get into to groups and then our kiwi can teacher gave each group a piece of paper. What ever it says on the paper we had to try and act it out to the other groups but we can't talk. The other groups had to try and figure out what we are acting out.

  

Smart searching

LI:To use key words for better searching.

This week we are learning about smart searching. We had to search information that we want to know about netball. We had to find keywords in our question so we can copy and past it into our google search. Once we found the right website that answers our questions we had to link that website to the text box that says answer. The last thing we had to do is write down our questions on a different slides and then put down the answer to the question.

Inquiry|Mind lab| Motat

LI:To learn about engineers.

Yesterday afternoon all of LS1, LS2 and room 5 went on a trip to Motat. Motat stands for museum of transportation and technology. There were 3 people there to help us if we need some help during our day at Motat. Their names were Emma, Kinsa and Daimon. During out trip at Motat LS1 did 2 activity's. Before we did those activity's our teachers had to split LS1 into year 5's and 6's.

Activity 1 and 2

The first activity that the year 5's did was trying to make a flash light using connecting blocks, motor and a LED. LED stands for light emitting diode. We had to work together with other people to complete, to do that we had to get into a group of three. My partners were Chisa and Elaario. We tried and make a windmill but we ran out of time.


The last activity that the year 5's did was trying to make a electric car. The stuff we had to use was skewers, tape, wheels, scissors, cardboard, motor and a propeller. This time we had to make a group of 2 but we had to partner up with someone that we don't usually work with. My partner was Sasuke. We manage to finish the body and the wheels for the car but we didn't have enough time to do the engine.

Here are 2 photos of us doing the activity's.

Commenting

LI:To learn how to comment on peoples blog.

This week I decided to comment on Marcaiyla's blog. I comment on her blog post about 2D and 3D shapes. I just asked her one thing to change, I asked her if she could put a little information into her blurb but she still did an amazing job.

Basic facts

LI:To remember my basic maths facts.

This week I decided to do an a addition challenge. I went up to 10. My time was 2 minutes and 22 seconds. I took a screenshot of my proof for people who don't believe me.

Emergency rescue

LI:To summarise a text.

This week I summarised this non-fiction book called emergency rescue. It's about a lot of different things you need to know when you need help like is your house is on fire or you got hurt. I took a screenshot of my work so for the people that don't believe me can see my proof. 

The possum problem

Text title: The possum problem

Author: Johanna Knox

I think the main idea of this text is that possums are damaging forest, farmers and gardens.

One example of a supporting detail is that possums are harmful to chicks and insect like weta,snails and spiders.

Another example of a supporting detail is that today there are about 30 million possums that lives in New Zealand.

It is clear that the main idea is about possum problems in New Zealand. Because they are making our environment nasty by  trees from forests and harm fulling insect and chicks.

LI:To identify the main idea in a text.

This week we are learning about possums. We had to read this story called the possum problem because we had to write facts and opinions about that story. Then we had to answer three questions on a google doc, then we had to write the main idea that we think it is and the reason. The last thing we had to do was do another poster like the first one we did but it's a little different because the facts and opinions is from two different websites.

How to persuade

LI:What is persuasion?

This week we are learning about how to persuade people. We had to make a google draw and we have to explain how to persuade a person or people. We also had to make a picture of person trying to persuade another person. I made to people trying to persuade each other. One of them is trying to persuade the other person that the number is 81 but the other person is trying to persuade that person that the number is 18.

Decimal facts

LI:To earn and look after money by creating with math.

This week we are learning about money. We have to earn money by completing our work before Friday. Our group decided to get into a group of 2 so we can get our work done and get some money. My partner was Farzana, we made a game about decimal facts. We got 51 dollars since we finished our work.

Swimming and water safety

LI:To learn water safety skills.

Our first lesson for water safety was used to get into groups and show the instructors our swimming ability. I was put into Elisabeth's group

In Elisabeth's group, we practiced streamline, freestyle and backstroke.

Duffy theater

Yesterday after noon all of the class's except for LS2 went to a Duffy theater. A Duffy theater is when the school goes to the school hall and watch people do a play about why reading is good for you. There were 3 people who came to do the play. There were 2 girls and 1 boy. The boy played this character called Duffy. The 2 girls played two characters.

There were two things we did before the play. The first thing we did was sing the Duffy, while singing the Duffy song we had to do sign language. The second thing was that the people that came to do the play had to tell us what we had to do while we are watching the play.

The play was about a boy and a girl. Their names were Duffy and Sam. They get stuck in a video game called magic bricks.They had to figure out how to get out of the video game. They have to read a book to get out.

Kiwi Can|Term 3|Resilience|Emotions

LI:Is to understand people emotions.

Today was our first kiwi can lesson for term 3. We had a new them for this term and a new topic for this week. Our theme was resilience and out topic was emotions. We also had a new catch phrase for this week, the catch phrase is "Kiwi can says if you feel it, let it out, don't doubt. Just let it all out.

Energizer & Activity
Our energizer and activity was kind of the same just it a little different, the game was called silent emotion disco. When we played this game for our energizer we played it differently when we did our activity.

To play the game that we played for our energizer you need to get into a group of 3 and your group ha to decided what emotion you want to act out but you can't talk. When you finish deciding what emotion and actions you group is going to do you have to perform you actions if front of other people and they have to try and figure out what is your emotion that they choose.

To play the game that we played for our activity you need to have head phones and a i pod. One person has to put the head phones on, plug the ear phone to the i pod and play some music. Then the other people have to decided what emotion they are going to act out. Once they decided the person listening to the music has to turn around and then the other people have to act out the emotion they choose, then the person with the ear phones on has to guess.

Commenting

LI:To learn how to comment on other peoples blogs.

Today I commented on Salina's blog because wrote a blog post about her making a star constellation using marshmallows and skewers and the constellation she did was Lyra. She did an amazing job at making the constellation with the marshmallows and skewers.

Kiwi sport|H.I.I.T

LI:To get fit and work out your muscles.

Today we had to do hit instead of gymnastics for kiwi sport. Hit is when you work out to get fit. Before we did any exerciser we had to put on our heart rate monitors on so we know when to push harder. When we put our heart rate monitors on we have a number on it. On the screen in the hall it shows our number. If the colour of the background in your square that says your number is blue that means your not working hard enough. If you are on green you are working a little. If you are on yellow you have to push a little more harder. If you are orange you have to push a little more and if you are on red you are working hard. There were 3 stations. You and your partner will be swapping every 30 seconds. We had to make our rate go up so we know how hard we are working out.

1st station
The first station is when you had to do pull ups on the bar. Your partner has to push the bar down so the bar won't move when you doing the pull ups. We had to make sure that our feet stays on the ground when we do our pull ups.

2nd station
The second station is when you have to do mountain climbers. There were 2 ways I could do it. You could do it on the ground or on the stage. We had to do these mountain climbers really fast because if we do it slow your not really working out.

Last station
The last station is when you had to do press ups. There where 2 ways I could do it. I could do it on my knees or do a proper press up. We had to make sure that we go all the way down because if you don't you not doing it properly.

Before we finished we did a squat challenge. Mr Ogilvie will a song called big sally. In the song it will say big sally up and when it says that we had to stand up and when it say big sally down that is when we have to go into a squat position but sometimes after they say big sally down we have to wait and hear it say big sally up. It was really challenging challenge and I was able to complete it.

LI:To skim, scam, and summarise information.

The constellation we choose to do was Lyra. Once we made it we had to take a photo of it and put on to a google slide, then we had to search up an image of the real constellation. Next we had to write down the the names of the stars in the constellation and the brightest star. After that we had to give two pieces of information about the constellation we did. The last thing we need to do was to put a word in each box to make a sentences.

Word Problem Video Presentation

LI:To solve different type of problems.

We had to solve different types of word problems. Some of the problems was addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, proportion, and ratios. We had to try and finish as much of the problems on the slide. We had to present one of the problems so we can share with other people in Mr Wong's maths group how we solve the problem. I didn't finish all the slides because I had to leave to present one of my problems but it didn't matter because we were only presenting the problems we finished.

Mars and Jupiter

LI:To know if planets can support life or not.

Today we had to make a goggle slide about two planets. The two planets I decided to do was Mars and Jupiter. We had to do this work in out inquiry groups so we can get finish it faster because we to present what we did so far. Everyone in my group had to talk about what we did. We had to try and get 3 out of 3 and we did but we only so pose to write if Mars and Jupiter can support life or not but we still got 3 out of 3.
