Maori

 

This week for Maori we learnt the different body parts.

For activity we had to match the body part in Maori with the body part that is English. We had to highlight the body parts in highlight we do know and the ones we don't we leave blank. For example: (waist- hope).

The words we didn't had to search it on the Maori dictionary so we know how to produce the word and know what it means.

Basic facts

For basic facts I took the speed demon challenge. I decided to do multiplication and division because I wanted to test how fast I am. My time was 5 minutes and 47 seconds. I feel like I have gone slower at my times table and division. The question hard because I was getting mucking instead of focusing.

SSR Selfie

For SSR Selfie I chose the book the Gruffalo. 

The book is about a mouse and monster. The little mouse goes for a walk in the deep dark woods. 

He stumbles across 3 animals which are a fox, an owl and a snake. The mouse tricks the animals by thinking the Gruffalo is real. It turns out the Gruffalo is real.

I found this book really funny and interesting to read.

Art Collabration

For art we recreated the cover of the Gruffalo.

The first thing we did was practised a shading on a small piece of paper. after that were given a big piece of paper that was a section of the cover. We used pastels to colour in. The first technique I learnt was blending.If you were doing the grass you would use use green then put white on top then you smudge the colours.

The second technique I learnt was smudging. Smudging is where you use 2 colours and mix them. To do the path/sand I used peach, gold and yellow and then I used a paper towel to mix the colours.

Doing this art was really enjoyable. Hopefully we could do another book cover.

Recount

What is a recount?

A recount is to retell something that happened in the past. A structure of recount is TREE ( Title, reveal, events and ending).

The language that is used while doing a recount is 1st person such as I , me , my , myself and mine.

On a google doc we had to write recount of one regular day in a week. 

Then we had to plan the events, the title, reveal and the ending which is the reflection.

The were four events before school, at school, after school, and after dinner.

After that I started to write my recount about my Friday routine. Some of the things I do are playing games and watching YouTube on my TV.

Making a fire/ Cooking food

First we recapped on what a hazard and a risk is. A hazard is a object that can cause harm and a risk is a possibility that a hazard can cause harm. The activities we did was making a fire and cooking s'mores.

First, we started by talking about the conditions of the activities. Some of the conditions were: we are using a brazier, the fire would be lit on concrete, and there is good enough weather for the fire to be lit.

Next, we talked about the hazards and risks, and wrote the consequences. Then we found out ways we could stop those consequences from happening, and we wrote down an emergency plan of what would happen if those consequences elevated.

Then we did the same process for making s'mores over the fire.

Once the fire was lit, we were given a demonstration by Mr Ogilvie of how the marshmallows should be cooked. Mr Ogilvie told us to put three marshmallows on a skewer and the skewer was to be held vertically through the rectangular gaps of the brazier. We then added chocolate sauce if you like to and the crackers to complete the s'more.

Maths

Rounding is finding the nearest ten, hundred, thousand.

Addition and division are both strategies the are used for rounding. To round the person needs to find the mean, to find the mean get a set of numbers like 5,7,1,9,3 and then add them altogether which would make the number 25. Then divide them by the amount of numbers there are which makes 5.

Now this is were the rounding begins, if the number is 5-9 that's called high five. If the number 0-4 it's called floor four For example 21.85 then it becomes 21.9
