BFB/ Basic Facts boxes

Today for basic facts I did up to 10 speed demon. I did really well I got 3 minutes and 21 seconds. I got some of them correct and some of the top ones wrong. I think I need to try more harder.

SSR Selfie

For SSR selfie my book was 100 scientist who made history. I learnt that science is one of the biggest things in history.

Commenting

For commenting I commented on Kruse's blog post about swimming. I first commented my thoughts on the blog post. Then I thought of 2 dialogic questions that I think he will reply to.

Identifying punctuation

For writing we had to do 2 task.

The overall task was to identify and use punctuation in sentences.

The first task was identifying punctuation. I moved the correct symbols and sentences that matched the punctuation.

The second task was trying to use all of the punctuation in as few sentences as we could. I had six sentences using all of the punctuation.

I found all of these task very interesting because now I know how to use all punctuation when i'm writing.

Solving Strategies

For maths we had to use different strategies to solve a equation like 84 - 7. The strategies my group used were repeated addition/multiplication, number line, written algorithm, addition and subtraction, counting backwards and division. A strategy is a plan to solve something.

For example 82 - 44. The strategy I'll use will be subtraction. Firstly I'll minus 2 from the 82 to make 80. Next I'll minus 40 from the 80 to make 40. Lastly, I'll minus 2 from the 40 to make 38.

Which means 82 - 44= 38.

Another example 5x5. The strategy I will use will be repeated addition. So I'll first do 5+5+5+5+5 because the equation is asking you to add 5, 5 times. Which means 5x5= 25 

Reading

For reading we learnt about inferring/infer. Inferring is when you guess facts or observations.

For reading we did 2 tasks. The task is where we had to write a opinion. Then we had to guess what fact happened in the book that describe the opinion. We made 2, 1 for Rahi and 1 for the Patupaiarehe.

The next task we did called character trait. A character trait is where you talk and summarise what your character has done. For Example: In the book Rahi saved his wife. I also had to guess what Rahi did that was campassionate.

Swimming

For our first session of kiwi sport/swimming we learnt about different swimming skills.

For swimming I learn 4 different skills. The skills I learnt were streamline kicking. I did a streamline by putting my arms near my head.

Then I practise doing freestyle . For freestyle I just showed my swimming ability.

Then I did a submersion where I had to put one arm over another and then I repeated it.

After that I practised a Frog kick/Butterfly kick. I had to make sure my legs help me boast so I could swim.

I had a amazing and fantastic time at the Lmca Pools.
