Tikanga in the classroom

WALT: Show Tikanga in the classroom

This week's task was to create a DLO about how to show Tikanga in the classroom.

I found it easy to write down ideas about how o show Tikanga in the classroom because I already had some ideas. I really enjoyed decorating the slide. Next time I need to try to fit more detail in, e.g more ways on how you can show Tikanga in the classroom.

Show your understanding slide

WALT: Create our own Maths word problems

This weeks task was to create our own maths word problem slides and show how you can work it out.

I found it easy think of some equations for the word problem.

I found it hard to think of things to use for this for the slides as an example.

I really enjoyed creating these word problem slides because i got to decorate them.

Next time I need to try make the equations harder.

Sports with Matua Garth

This morning room 5 went out to do sports with Matua Garth. We played fun games like the game Rats and Rabbits, Tag, Numbers, and Tic-Tac-Toe. 

I really enjoyed playing these games because they were fun and new.

My favourite game was Rats and Rabbits. What you have to do in this game is to get a buddy, and stand opposite to each other. When you have done that one of you guys will be the rat and the other will be a rabbit. When your animal is called you have to run away and the other person has to try and get you. If they get you they get a point and then you have to go back to the beginning. 

Build a blog comment

WAL: What a quality  blog comment is

We were learning how to build a quality blog comment. For this activity we had to drag and type the words onto the fridge like fridge magnets, to form a blog comment for one of our classmates.

I found it easy to write a comment for the blog post I was writing for.

I found it hard to write a question for the blog comment.

I really enjoyed doing this activity because I got to read and explore some of my classmate's blogs to choose for this activity.

Next time I need to try and add more detail to my comment because it wasn't long enough.

The comment in this activity was for my classmate Roman, click on the link if you want to see the blog post that I was commenting on.

Multi-step maths word problems

WALT: Solve multi-step maths word problems

Our task for maths this week was to complete two math word problems a day from this maths word problem slide that our teacher gave to us. I really liked this task because it had large numbers, and some hard equations e.g: 

E. 8x2+9x4=??  

W.O 8x2=16 9x4=36  16+36=52  

Answer:52

Perhaps next time I can try including place value partitioning when working out a word problem.  

Energy - Nonrenewable Energy Sources

WALT: Increase our knowledge by reading a wide range of texts (Article a day - Book of Knowledge)

For reading this week we had to read the articles a day our teacher assigned to us and write down what we learned.

Maybe next time I can try and write more information down instead of doing something basic.

I learned that there are two types of energy: Nonrenewable and renewable. 

I also learned that uranium isn't a fossil fuel, but it is classified as nonrenewable fuel.

100 words

WALT: Write 100 words in 10 minutes

 

This week for writing we had to write 100 words in ten minutes. Here is one of the stories I did (it is not real). 

What I like about my story is that it is about two friends being separated but then getting back together.

Maybe next time I can try and use more grammar.

 

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Olivia. She would go to school every day and play with her friend Cerveja.

They had been best friends since they were 3 years old, but one day Olivia left their school, leaving Cerveja sad and alone. Oliva felt sad and lonely as well because they were like sisters, they did everything together, they were always there for each other, and they loved each other very much.

A few years later Olivia went back to their school but left again which made Cerveja even sadder.

One night Cerveja texted Olivia and said " I don't think we can be friends anymore, bye" it made Olivia cry and cry and cry.

Each night Olivia would text Cerveja, saying how much she missed her, how she wanted to work things out, but Cerveja never replied. 

Two years later Olivia goes to college hoping she would see her old friend  Cerveja again.

During lunch Olivia set off to find her friend, she looked everywhere, the field, the court, the field, the library even the bathrooms, but she never found her.

"She never came.." said Olivia as she sat down on the side bench, with a sad face, and almost crying, "Olivia..?".
