Kiwi Can

L.I is to respect others and the environment.
This week for Kiwi Can was our  second time going to Kiwi Can when we got there we had to get into four lines. We played centre ball and bus stop. We played our energizer first called centre ball. first we had get into a circle and number people off. and when kiwi can called all the one people then all the one people have to run around everyone and to their standing spot to run in the middle to get the ball.

After that we had our activity bus stop. In this game we had to get into five groups then Ms Paige gave us a pen and paper to write a Boy name, Girl name, Animal and the Colour. If your group had the same as another team you would get 5 points and you have your own and word you get 10 points. than you would have to write one word for each box starting with the letter that has been called out.

It was basically the end of the day we had to get into our point, we all had to agree on each other by putting our hands up using our fingers to show how much points we should get for each station of the point system but the max of points we could get was 5 not 6 or ten. So then the point's were settled, the points were 5, 5, 5, 4 and 4, our total points were 23.

Maori

This week for Maori we had Whaea Odie. First she read a story called Remember That November. This story was about a school speech. The children think that Andy will win the speech contest. In Andy's speech it was about Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was a man who attempted to explode the king's castle using gunpowder. In the speech contest Aroha stands up who wore a white feather on her hair. Aroha tells a story about the village Parihaka. Once we listened to the story we had to go on google maps and find Parihaka. Once we found Parihaka on google maps we had to mark it on the Sheet that we were given. Parihaka is in Taranaki.

Organising ideas

Good version

We started climbing at the bottom of the climbing track. There was a sign showing us the way to go, so we followed the sign from the bottom of the climbing track. We put on our backpacks and gear when we arrived at the carpark. I looked at the sky and said about the stars there are a lot of stars when we were walking to the bottom of the climbing track.

LI: to correct certain structure and language features in a recount. This week for writing we had to read paragraph two of Mr wongs bad recount and we had to rewrite it. The recount was really messed up. Each group had to work on a paragraph I am in Jk Rowling we had to use paragraph two Stephen King used paragraph 4 Dr Seuss used paragraph 3 Dr Dahl they used all paragraphs. For my group we had to organise our ideas into the right order.

Boxing

This week for kiwi sport we had our first lesson with Pax. First Pax taught us three of the commandments which was Respect, Discipline & Safety. For respect we had to say I will respect my coach, equipment and peers. For discipline we had to say I will show up in every kiwi sport and I will give my 100%. Lastly for Safety we had to say I will not harm others and I will practise boxing with safety. If we broke one of the rules we had to do one burpee for the first week, if we break it again we have to do two burpees, it goes on and on. If we did the boxing skills that we learnt outside of the hall we will have to sit in the corner.

After that we did a warm up. We played a game called knee tag. For knee tag we had to try and tag each others knees. Everyone was in. I didn't get tagged by the knee because I defended myself from other people tagging me Once we did the warm up, we had to wear boxing gloves under 90 seconds.The boxing gloves were hard to wear.

 Some of us didn't wear the boxing gloves under 90 seconds, so we all had to do a burpee. After the burpee we got into partners. My partner was Giovanni. After that we learnt the rock. For the rock we had to lift up our right leg, move it back and place it down. We also had to bend our knees and we had to put the boxing gloves on our face, but under our eyes. Then one of us had to push the other person who was in the rock. We did that to see if we would fall.

Once we did that we learnt the jab. For the jab we had to get into our rock position. Then we had to punch straight with our left arm, while our right arm was under our eye to keep us safe from a punch.

M.A.I.N

L.I is to learn about the M.A.I.N in world war one.
This week for for inquiry I was learning about M.A.I.N in WW1 The M is for Militarism, A is for Alliances, I is for imperialism, and the N is for Nationalism. These are the main four that caused ww1 (World war one). We had to add information about each topic, we had to get the information from a DLO (digital learning object), we had to find out which text was the right information for the right topic. I also worked with my friend Chris to do this. After the information and putting them with the right topic, we then had to add in what was the immediate cause.

Conflict and resolution

LI: to analyse a story for its conflict and resolution. This week for Reading we did the same thing as last time, but read a different story which was a true story. We had to write the two sides and write what both of their ideals were. Then we had to write what the conflict was. Then we had to write the parts that lead up to the resolution of the story. The story we read was called Painted Hoe which told us about Wakas. The connection that I have with this story is Sparks because in painted hoe the Maori and the Europeans they fight over the land and in sparks Harley and Dillon fight over the Scooter. Here is a link to my work .

Keyboarding

LI: To not look at the key board wile typing.

For daily six this week i decided to do key boarding. First we had to type in all the words that they have put up without looking at the keyboard.  When we finished one we would have to press the space button and write the next word. Before this you have to read the instructions to play. If you typed in the wrong letter it would turn red and you would have to push that letter again then go to the next letter.

Statistics

L.I: Is to learn about more about what we have already learnt.
This week for maths we filled out a google form that had choices of what we wanted to remember, each person chose and we had to ask a set question about the topic so we can learn more about what we already learnt before.

Conflict and resolution

LI: to analyse a stories conflict and resolution
This week for Reading we read a story and had to fin out the Conflict and Resolution. Conflict is a fight/disagreement/argument between people or a group. A resolution is entirely fixing the problem or not, or changing the conflict to something else. We read a book called Sparks and it was full of Conflicts and we had to analyse to see if they were conflicts, and had to find the resolution. This story is similar to sponge bob square pants because Mr crabs wants something and Plankton wants to do have the krabby patty formula.

Maori

I: to learn more about Maori
This week for Maori the first thing we did was read a story about the beginning of earths creation. It was about the earth mother and the sky father being together with no light, but the sons of earth and the sky wanted to be free so the sons separated them. Then there was a stream of light flowing everywhere. Later the sons became gods. Tu became god of man and war, Tangaroa became god of the sea, Tawhirimatea god of wind and storm, Haumia became god of cultivated food and the wild, and lastly Rongo became god of peace and agriculture. After that we watched a video explaining the story of the beginning in Sand Art.

Kiwi Can

This week was the first week of the term and our first lesson on Kiwi Can. Mrs Lily wasn't there because she is having a baby boy in December. We had a new leader and her name was Mrs Paige. Then we also have a new theme and topic. The theme is Respect and the topic is For our school.

The energizer for kiwi can is No Rules Or Rules. So the game was tag but with no rules. So everyone could tag each other. It was really exhausting and boring because you wouldn't get out. The next round was with rules the first taggers were Mr Matt and Mrs Paige. It was a lot more fun and fair.

After the energizer we talked about Values our school values is CARE confidence, Attitude, respect and excellence and innovation. Values means the standards and behaviour in the life you are living. My value is taking responsibility. I picked responsibility because I need to be responsible for my own doings.

When we finished doing that we got into our activity. This activity was really fun it is called role play in this game there are two new students and the other students have shared lunch but the two new students didn't bring any lunch I was one of the new students and the person was Akuhata. Our group name was The Hollow heads.

In our group was Giovanni, Akuhata, Sione T, Acien and Jordan.
