Nonsense Paragraph

This week we have been learning about the vowels and the “ei” sounds. Ei can make long /a/ sound and long /e/ sounds. Long vowels are saying the letter name, and the short vowel is saying the letter sound. We made a DLO of Nonsense Paragraphs, The words we used in our paragraph to make a nonsense sentence is Veil, Skein, Eight, Foreign, Reindeer, Leisure, Receipt, Receive, Beige, Reign, Abseil, Vein, Perceive, Ceiling and Receive. I enjoyed this task because I liked how we challenged our partners to see who wrote it faster.

Vision Board

For this activitie, We explained about who we want to be in the future. What I have done for my vision board was about what is my goal for the future and what my goal is going to be for this year. The leader I chose is Malala Yousafzai because She is confident in her education, Very compassionate, and Malala is hardworking. The college I want to be accepted to is Selwyn College. I enjoyed this activitie because I want to let everyone know I want to be this person and how she educates people in Pakistan.

 

Chinese Lantern Festival

LI: To use smart searching skills to research correct information.

For this activitie we explained and told the details of the Chinese Lantern and why it’s important for the Chinese culture. We researched their traditional events and learned more about their information. For the first slide I wrote the questions for us to research about it. The question I wrote is How is Chinese Lantern Festival celebrated? The Chinese Lantern Festival is celebrated commonly with Firecrackers, Fireworks, Red clothing and dragon decorations. I liked this activitie as much I had fun learning about the Chinese Lantern Festival.

My Pepeha

LI: To write and say my pepeha.

To help us get to know each other we have written our pepehas. This allows us to make connections and form friendships. A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself in Maori. 

I found this activity amazing because I really liked to record myself saying my pepeha in Maori.  

 

Where’s Wally Step It Up / Kickstart

This week for the Summer Learning Journey we were doing Where’s Wally. Everybody likes the book so we can do a fun activity but it’s gonna be different. Instead of Where’s Wally we’re going to do ” Where’s Hasna?”. Miss Tele’a & Miss White were telling us what we have to do. She showed us the video & then showed us the slides & then we went off to get our chromebooks & started doing our Summer Learning Journey. I was half way done on my Summer Learning Journey & then I was finished 10 minutes later & then started blogging, did my title, started writing my caption for my blog & then linked my work onto my blog post.

Wonder Chapter 8-10

This term in reading we are diving into a novel study for the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio.  This week we are trying to understand the characteristics and personalities of key characters in the story.  We also practiced summarisation  skills by extracting relevant details from the text.

We had to read Part One Chapters 8-10 which was about Mr. Tushman into a small room across from Mrs. Garcia’s desk. He was talking as he closed the door to his office and sat down behind his big desk, though August wasn’t really paying much attention to what he was saying. August was looking around at all the things on his desk. Cool stuff, like a globe that floated in the air and a Rubik’s-type cube made with little mirrors.

Next, we used what we had read to answer our slides about the key characters.

I enjoyed reading the book. I need to improve on writing more details. I did well at blogging.

Figure it out – Gala

We are learning about solving skills and how to use our problems. I will give you one of my questions and answers. Here are the ideas that some of the students had. How many people do they think will visit each activity? Room 5 thinks one-quarter of the people at the gala will have a ride on the merry go-round, Room 6 thinks one fifth of the people will go to the ball-throwing stall, Room 7 thinks about half of the people will go play the gumboot throw, Room 8 thinks children likes to get their face painted. About half the people at the gala will be children, and about half the children at the gala will have their face painted & Room 8 thinks lots of people at the gala will get hungry. Three quarters of the people will visit the food stall.

First, Miss White told us to go to our figure it out slides and there are 14 slides to complete. Our task was to make a box using these materials. You need: A Classmate, Light Cardboard, Different shaped small boxes, Paints, Crayons, Or felt tip pens, Tape, Scissors, A ruler & Square grid paper. I went to the figure it out on slides.

Next, I had to finish slide 9 to 14. Slide 14 question was: Last year, Te Rata School held their gala in a nearby park that was this size and this shape. We had to figure out which one is bigger. The first one was 60 metres, 100 metres, 75 metres, 30 metres, 25 metres and 30 metres. The second one is 60 metres and 90 metres. For the first one I did 60 x 100 x 75 x 25 x 30 = 10125000000 and the second one is 60 x 90 = 5400. I picked the first one because it was bigger than the second one.

Lastly, I had to go on our figure it out slides and check through our work just to make sure we don’t make mistakes

I enjoyed doing this task. I did well at answering all of the questions on the google slide. I need to improve on doing more bar graphs about the school gala.
