This week we had our second session or Te Reo Maori. We had to complete a task called Whakapakehatia - Wiki Rua. We had to search the questions, and the names of what it means in English, and write the answer. We first had to understand what the words mean, to do that all the groups practised what it means with the teacher.  We all had to understand, if we forget about what the words means, we were aloud to search the words, and the question in the Maori dictionary.

LI:To research

This week we had to research meaning and functions of 23 different words that suppose to give us a clue of what were going to be learning for the rest of the term. We had to complete this task in a group of three, we had to make a table that has three coulombs for the words meanings and functions. Some of the words don't have a function so the blank spaces means the word as no function. At the end we had to guess what we think were going to be learning for the rest of the term. The last guess was right, the guess was making a plane out of paper. 

Writing|recount|Winning $1 million dollars

LI:To revise the structure of a recount and reaffirm the marking criteria

This week we had to write fiction recount about winning $1 million dollars from lotto so we practices for test week which is next week and get into the mood for learning after the 2 week break. We had to make sure we use TREE, TREE stands for title, reveal, event and ending. We had 40 minutes to write our story. My story was about me winning $1 million dollars from lotto on my 10th birthday. After that 40 minutes we had to mark our work between 3-5. The marks will tell me what I think of my idea, S&L, Organ, Vocab, Spelling, Punctuation, Sentence structure and sentence structure. The words that are highlighted in yellow means those are the 5 words I think are at the level 5.

Reading | Poetic Verse & Rap Lyrics | Vocab Builder

LI: Build knowledge of vocabulary,and links words to create to the wider worlds.This task was all about building your Vocab skills. The next task we had to do what that we had to find a poetic verse and a rap lyrics.

This week we had to complete two tasks.

First task
The first task I had to make a google slide so my group and I can put our vocab builders on it. Since there's five of us in our group we did 10 each because that means all of us has done two each.

Second task
The second task I had to make another google slide because we had to make a game called Poetic Verse & Rap Lyrics. The way you play it there will be slide that has a poetic verse or rap lyric and you have to guess if it's poetic verse or rap lyric.

Here is one slide from each task we did.

Math

LI:To recall core skills and knowledge for addition, subtraction, multiplication, fraction, and place value.

This week we had to write down everything we learnt through out the year in our math so our teacher can see what we've learnt. We could use 7 different ways which are basic facts, tidy numbers, place value, repeated addition/subtraction, rounding & compensating, written algorithm and reversing. We had to complete four task.

First task
The first task I had to calculate that area and perimeter of different shapes. We had to calculate both area and perimeter of the shapes that had a star next to it but the shapes that don't have a star next to it we just had to do it's perimeter. When I did perimeter I used place value to work out the answer, I knew the operation was addition because we did one with our teacher. When I did the area I multiplied it using written algorithm.

Second task
The second task I had to was about telling time. There were 4 question there. The first two question we had to add minutes and the last two we had to we had to subtract minutes from that time. The way I worked out the first two times was counting forwards in fives and the way I worked out the last two times was the same way I worked out the first two times just I just counted backwards.

Third task
The third task I did was about fractions. The first question had to with fractions, I had to figure out what fraction it is. The next question I had to cut one whole block into 6 pieces. The last two problems I had to find as many ways to give each side the same amount. The way I worked the last three problems was by using division.

Last task
The last task I didn't complete because I ran out of time, I only managed to do the first problem. The last task was about decimals. The first problem I did was addition and it was an easy one. The problem was 0.5+0.4. The answer I got was 0.9, the way I solved this problem was by using place value.

Maori|Term 4

Today for Maori we had to complete 4 different task in a group of six, our group had to have 3 boys and 3 girls. Once we complete one task we had to move on to the next one.

First task
The first task was called Kupu. We had to to find out the meaning of 10 words, some of the words were spelled the same but they mean different things.

Second task
The next task was called Match the Atua to their territory. We had to match the gods to the thing they control so for an example we had to link Tangaroa to god of the sea. Some of them I didn't so I went to search up what they control.

Third task
While we were doing the second task our Maori teach Whaea Odie came over to us asked us question about us and our family in Maori. The challenging thing in this task was trying to understand what she's saying so we can say the right answer.

Last task
The last task we had to do was watch 2 Scenes of a family talking to each other in Maori. When we finished watching the 2 videos we had to fill out a sheet that was about the videos, we had to translate the questions on the sheet.

These google sheets are what we did and they are in order.

Kiwi Can|Term 4|Respect

LI:To learn about respect

Today was our first season of kiwi can for term four. We had two different kiwi can leaders, their names were Mr Simanu and Mr Latu. Our new them was respect, respect means respecting other people the way you want be respected. Also our new catchphrase was called,"Kiwi can says,"R,E,S,P,E,C,T" find out what that means to me.

Energizer
Our energizer was called tooty fruit. In the game we had to make a circle and then one of the kiwi can teachers will say apple, orange or banana. If they say apple we had to take one jump forward but if they say orange we had to take one jump back, when they say banana we had to spin 180 degrees. When we played the game we had to make the circle smaller every time a person is out.

Activity
Our activity was called true all false. Someone will tell something about them that's true tell something about them that's false. We had to go to one side of the room so the person who asked the true all false question knows who picked the right or wrong answer. Every answer we get right is a point to ourselves but the last questions was worth 1000 points.
