Kiwisport | Ki-O-Rahi | Taniwha Role

LI: To learn how to play the Taniwha Role

This week for Kiwi sport, We did three challenges to learn more about the Taniwha role in Ki-O-Rahi.

The first challenge was: Everybody had to score as many points as possible in 1 minute

by throwing the Ki at the Tupu. Our Score was 19 Points.

The Second challenge, we were timed, and we all had to hit the Tupu with the Ki. Once we hit the Tupu we had to sit in Te Ao. Our Time was 1 Minute 58 sec.

For our Final Challenge we had 1 minute to hit the tupu while kaitiaki were guarding. Our Score was 2.

In the end we played 1 game where we had to save Te Ara from the bad people. The bad people had to stay in Te Roto and the Good side had to stay in Te Ao. One person had to be Te Ara, and the good people had to run into the middle to save Te Ara. If the good side got tagged they had to stay in the middle. To save Te Ara the good people had to hook arms with Te Ara and guide them out of Pa Whero the Island.

Main Goals in the Challenges

1. Stay in Te Roto

2. Stay Out of Pa whero

Infographic | Reading | About Reading

LI: To learn how to make an Infographic.

This week we had to make a Infographic showing why do we read, what is reading, what reader are you and how do we read. An Infographic is a chart with small amount of writing and with a silhouette showing what its doing. 

Positive Commenting

LI: To make a positive comment on somebodies blog post

This week, I commented on Farzana's blogpost. Her blog post talked about the number 60. I commented on her blogpost because I thought it was a good example for juniors. We make positive comments to give other people feedback on their work and tell them what we think they should do better, change or have in the next blogpost.

Reading | Fires |

LI: To apply different Strategies to understand

This week for Reading, we had to create 3 different DLOs for our must do and link them to the Tasman fires and other fires around the world. This was a group activity. Our first activity was a slide show. We had to read different articles linked to the Tasman fires. Then we had to write The 5 W's about what we read. Who,What,When,Where + Why.

Then we had to summarise the text into 20 important words into 6 Very important words and use those 6 very important words to sum up a sentence. That part of our Slide would be used to tell our readers what we had read. Next we moved onto our Evaluating slide where we had to reflect off ourselves and write what we understood in the text. In the next Text Box we had to include what we thought was interesting and why we thought so. After that we had to list a few questions we would like to ask after reading the story.

In the Next DLO, we had to create a poster explaining what the fire hazard rating was and more information about the Tasman Fires. Overall, we had to create a google map showing places that have had fires in that area or tell the fire rating.

Maths | Number Research | 87

LI: To think Flexibly about numbers

This week in Maths, We had to be put in groups to research a random number between 10-100. We had to create a google draw poster talking about the number you chose, including mathematical questions and Facts.

My team chose the number 87. We found out it was the devils number so we thought it would make an interesting fact, but we haven't found out why it's the devils number. Then we added maths strategies using Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition and Repeated Addition.

Music

LI: To learn the chords of shotgun and one call away.

Our Music Session with Whaea Ode taught us the Chords of Shotgun and One call away. The Chords were A, F, C & G. We swapped instruments to learn different tunes in Music.

I'm only one call away.
