Kiwi Can

L.I To let people calm down if they are feeling or looking angry and furious. 

Today I went to kiwi can. At kiwi can we had to get into three lines. We then went straight into our energizer. Our energizer was where we had to get into a group of four and we had to use our bodies to try to act out a playground, a airplane, a motorbike, and many more. We then went onto our lesson of the day which was what conflict means and what resolution means. Conflict means when there is a disagreement or argument between a person. Resolution means when you solve a problem. We then went onto our activity which was stuck in the mud. Stuck in the mud is a game where you are standing on one side and there is two taggers in the middle, the taggers have to yell out stuck in the mud and everyone has to go. 

Homophones

L.I To make to identify the differences in meaning between common homophones.

Today I did my writing which was homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meaning and spellings. For example no and know. Know is when you know something and no is when you say no to someone. We had to do it on a google slide that was ready for us.

I learned by going on the google slides and finding the pictures that is relating to the homophone.

Kiwi Sport

L.I To play a proper game of scatter ball.

Today I went to kiwi sport to play scatter ball properly. Instead of our normal kiwi sport coaches we had our teachers coach us. We went outside and sat down, we soon got a reminder of how to use a bat properly. We had to make sure our little knuckles were aligned, shoulders with apart, right hand on left (If left handed left hand on right), bat on right shoulder (again if left handed put the bat on the left shoulder). We then went on and played a proper game of scatter ball. We had to partner up and as a batter our partner had to pitch the ball and we had to hit it. We then moved on to another scatter ball game which was where we had to try to throw all three balls as far as we can and when the first ball is thrown the fielders can immediately go and run after it. 



V.A.S.A.R Whakatauki

L.I To make a group whakatauki.

Today me and my group made a whakatauki or our own. We had to go on a google draw and send the draw to everyone else. Once we did we had to put our team emblem on there and our team motto, along with our whakatauki that we thought of.

I learned by going onto a google draw and then sending the draw to everyone else. Then by putting on our team emblem, motto and whakatauki.

CARE Values

L.I To understand the CARE Values.

Today I did my cybersmart which was to get into a group of four and make a google doc to write notes down for what CARE means. We had to go on a smart values site and in that site we had to choose one of the values that was there, the values were: Learning, Hope, Service, Cooperation, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Caring and Joy. 

I learned by getting into a group of four and then going on a google doc and writing down the one of the CARE Values.

Kiwi Sport

L.I To learn how to use a bat and run around the basis. 

Today I went to kiwi sport. At kiwi sport Alison was there to teach us and give us a reminder on what we do when we get to a base and a reminder on how to use a bat: We needed to make sure our arms were shoulder with apart, small knuckles aligned, right hand on left hand (If you are left handed then you put it on top of your right hand), bat on right shoulder (Again if left handed put it on the left shoulder). We then went on played scatter ball, if you don't know what scatter ball is then this is it. There is two balls that you have to hit as a batter, (We hit one ball) then you have run and make sure you touch the basis or else you will have to go back on run on it again. The fielders job is to get the ball and put it on the cone before the batter makes it to home base. It was fun playing the game again but soon we didn't have much time left to do it again, instead we played a game called four corners, (With basis). Four corners is a game where there is four corners for you to pick on which one you want to go on. Then the person in the middle of the four corners points to a corner, if they point to you your out. You also have to be quiet and sneaky. On round two of four corners we had to walk backwards to the base, it was pretty tricky but I had fun with it. On round three we had to walk like a animal of our choice, I picked an elephant but I had to make sure I didn't make the sound effects. It was really fun to be an elephant and many different animals such as: Crabs, Giraffes, Chickens and many more. Soon we sadly ran out of time but we had fun regardless. 

I learned by following the skills on how to use a bat and how to run around the base.

Self-Monitoring

L.I To understand something we don't understand by using a various amount of strategy's.

Today I did my reading which was self-monitoring from last week. We first had to read a article about Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart was an aviator that had a achievement, which was to fly around the whole world, unfortunately she didn't stop at a place that was was suppose to and was lost. Though she was lost people found bones of her. After we read the article we had to get into a pair of two and we had a google doc to work on. On the google doc we had to put the words or places we didn't know in a box and how we got the answer, then we had to explain what it means. 

I learned by first reading the kiwi kids news article about Amelia Earhart then by getting into a buddy. Then by filling out the google doc. 

Kiwi Can

L.I To make sure I step away from bullies or let them calm down if they are angry.

Today I went to kiwi can. At kiwi can we first talked about our new topic which was conflict resolution. We didn't really learn much about our new topic but we did go straight into our energizer. For our energizer we played the game from last week which was called twenty one. If you don't know how to play it then this is how you do it. You have one ball and each time someone passes it to you it counts as a number, you can also hold the ball for two seconds to by time, you still count while the ball is being held. We then went onto our lesson of the day which is about bulling or some kind of bulling. We put our hands up to answer possibilities to make someone happy. We also gave answers on how we get angry and why we do. We then learned that if someone is very angry and is swinging their arms at you then just let them calm down. After that we went onto a game called guess the emotions. The four people in the front of our lines had to stand up and face us, they were not allowed to look at the whiteboard because the emotion was going to be written up there. Meanwhile everyone else had to act out the emotion and the front people had to guess. If they guess it right then they get a point. The game was really fun and I enjoyed acting out the emotions. We then went onto our GKQ. Our buzzer was to put our hands on our shoulders and say kuboo. 

Cybersmart

L.I To put work in the right folders and make sure our drive is clean.

Today I learned where to file my DLO's that I recently made. I also learned that we need to make sure our drive is clean so when people look at it, they won't see all your DLO's floating around. It's also good to make sure you have a clean drive because if you have almost a full storage of DLO's then your computer can't process much and it will be running slower.  

I learned by first making a list of all the folders that we could possibly have and then discussing on where to file the DLO's. After that we filed everything away and trashed the thing that we don't use.

Duffy Assembly

L.I To read to get better achievements later on in the future. 

Today we went to Duffy Assembly to meet a few guests that was going to share how they got into different things. We first sang the Duffy song before we started. Then the two guests walked up onto the stage and started to greet us. Soon they started telling us about how they got engaged in doing things like sports. The two guests name were Taylor and Matt. Taylor told us about how she got into BMX riding. Taylor first got engaged into BMX riding when she was inside her familiys shed playing around with the stuff in ther when she soon spotted a news paper with her faimily in it, she wondered why they were in there but when she read it she soon knew her mum was a BMX rider. When she saw that her mum was a BMX rider she wanted to be one to. When she was six years old she won her first T-Shirt for racing in the BMX for kids. Later on she stopped riding BMX becasue she got a very bad injury o her back. When Taylor was soon an adult she started riding in the BMX cars. There she won her first trophy. Taylor now is currently a interviewer and a commentator. Matt is now currently a rugby player and he plays for the blues. Matt had the same story as Taylor. He got into rugby by reading sport books, he played for the blues by reading books about the blues. Matt soon got his own blues jersey. Taylor and Matt's future job or hobby is going to be a loyaler and a PE Teacher.

Kiwi Sport

L.I To learn how to run around the basis and use a bat properly.

Today at kiwi sport we played the same game as last week, scatter ball. We first had to remember the batting skills which are: Shoulder with a apart, knuckles aligned, right hand on top of the left hand (left hand on top of right if left handed), and bat on right shoulder (again if left handed bat on left shoulder). This time when we played scatter ball the batters had to actually use the bat how they are suppose to, if they miss three or four times then they can hit it from the tee. The batters had to try to hit the ball while it was thrown to them. They could also stop on the base if the ball almost got to the home base. For the fielders there was a backstop that they had to throw it straight to. After scatter ball we played a game where we had to get in circle and we all had to have our hands on our knees. The thrower could also fake throw to make the other person flinch, if they flinch they are out. If they miss the ball they also are out.

I learned by using the batting skills and learning how to bat properly by hitting the ball when its thrown to me.

On the slide was the first event of what happened in the short clip using figurative language. We had to highlight all the figurative language there was in a certain color, the figurative language's are: Idiom, personification, metaphor, simile, and alliteration.

Keyboard Shortcuts

L.I To use keyboard shortcuts as a quick way around things. 

Today I used keyboard shortcuts. We got a slide to use so we can test out how good we are with our keyboard shortcuts. We had to get into pair and that pair has to be someone from LS1 from last year and a room five from last year. We both had eight slides to work on. 

I learned by first making a list of what shortcuts there are and what they do. Next by getting a buddy from room five last year and doing all the slides that tested if we could use the shortcuts properly. 

Kiwi Can

L.I To be a good role model and leader.

Today we went to kiwi can to play some games and to learn about new things. We first got into three lines and got into our energizer. Our energizer was to try to guess what is on the whiteboard. The people in the front of the line had to stand up and face our group, then Ms Lily wrote a answer on the whiteboard. The rest of the group had to answer only yes or no questions. The game was really fun and I enjoyed it. We then went onto our lesson of the day, our lesson of the day was being a role model and how we be one. We gave answer and examples of them and I learned that being a role model can really give you a confidence boost. We then went onto our activity which was where we had a ball and that ball was a bomb, it was also a counting ball. Our goal was to pass it around in a circle and if we reached the number twenty one and someone has the ball then they are out. We had fun with these activities and games, I also learned that being a role model is being a good person. 

I learned by learning on how to become a good role model and the role models I should look up to.

Self-Monitoring

L.I To understand a meaning of a text by ourselves. 

Today I made a poster about Self-Monitoring showing what it is, why we use it, and how we use it. We had to first read a book called water worries. We had to buddy up to read this book so we can both use Self-Monitoring and if our buddy was struggling we could ask our buddy if they needed help. Self-Monitoring is when we are stuck on a word or sentence and we want to figure it out, we can figure it out by using our prior knowledge. That's Monitoring, the self means you do it by yourself.

I learned by first reading the actual book with a buddy and then talking about what Self-Monitoring is. Then making a poster about it.
