Maths | Basic Facts Boxes
The basic facts boxes challenge is designed to help you improve how quick you can do basic maths problems. Today I completed five addition boxes up to one hundred in 3 minutes and 28 seconds.
Reading | SSR Selfie
The SSR Selfie task is designed to help people improve their summarising skills and their retelling of a text. I did my SSR Selfie on a book called 'Awful Egyptians'. This non-fiction book is about interesting facts about the ancient egyptian times.

Comment Thread | Open & Closed Questions
In our commenting session, we looked at turning closed questions into open questions and using them in a comment thread.
We focused on replying to Room 4 using the structure of a comment which is: a greeting, positive feedback and question.
In groups of three, we created a document which included the comment reply that we were going to make towards Room 4.
First, we came up with a greeting, then we thought of some positive feedback that we could give to Room 4.
We then gave a reply to the two questions Room 4 asked us. After that, we came up with our own question to ask Room 4.
We thought of closed questions and then turned them into open questions. We used the open questions in the comment thread.
When communicating, we should use open questions to extend the conversation.

Kiwi Sport | Dig
A dig is the method used to hit the ball in volleyball.
Place the dominant leg in front of the non-dominant leg, shoulder width apart.
Bend the legs and lean forward slightly.
Put the non-dominant hand into a fist form then put the dominant hand over it (thumbs aligned).
Straighten the arms and push outwards aligning the fists with the waist.
When hitting the ball, the body should move from a bent position to a straight position to push the ball outwards. The arms should also come up straight and align with the shoulders.
In volleyball, it is important to know how to dig because it is the major technique to hitting the ball. The ball should contact the forearm instead of the fist.

Te Reo Māori
In our Māori session we were focusing on revising numbers, feelings, weather and the daily routine in Te reo Maori.
First we did the daily routine and answered questions such as: 'He aha te ra?', 'He aha te huarere?', 'Kei te pehea koe?' and more.
We then learnt the definition of 'inanahi' (meaning yesterday). The question was' He aha te ra inanahi' which meant: 'what was the day yesterday?'.
Next, we converted Māori numbers into English. There were ten numbers to translate.
After that we searched for images to match the feelings and weather.
We learnt new words during this session. Some of them were, Ngenge (tired), ongaonga (disgusted), manaaki (caring), manahau (excited), kapua (cloudy) and more.
I enjoyed this activity and found it fun to do. I enjoyed revising more of the Māori language.

Maths | Proper, Mixed Number and Improper Fractions
Fractions are the equal pieces that have been cut from a whole object. There are three different types of fractions: proper, improper and mixed number fractions.
Proper fractions are fractions in which the denominator is bigger than the numerator (3/4). Improper fractions are fractions that have their denominator less than their numerator (7/6). Mixed number fractions are fractions that have a whole as well as a fraction (1 and 2/5).
To convert each fraction into a decimal representation, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Example: If someone has 2/10, 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2. The decimal representation of 2/10 is 0.2.

Writing | Verb Tenses
Tenses are the three different things that tell about an action. There are twelve types of tenses.
The three things that tell about an action are: time, continuance and completion.
Time includes past, present and future. Past is something that has already happened. Present is something that is happening at the time of speaking and future is something that has not happened yet.
The two types of continuance are simple and continuous. Simple is a specific thing and continuous is still going on.
Perfect is a completed action. It is not the same as past, although, an action can be done in the past but it may not be completed.
The types of tenses are: past simple, present simple, future simple, past continuous, present continuous, future continuous, past perfect, present perfect, future perfect, past perfect continuous, present perfect continuous and future perfect continuous.
Understanding the different tenses help us identify when an action has been done.
