Fractions of Sets.

Fractions of sets are smaller group. Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces. Sets are small amount of group. 

This slide explained fractions of sets. 

Maori Places of Names.

I translated the names of Maori places into Auckland words. For example Waiheke is Ebbing water. I couldn't use Maori dictionary for clues to help. We figured out the Maori places with Whaea Odie and marked it all through.

This slide explains the Maori places. 

Rugby sports.

Today we played a game of touch rugby. Our lesson was targeting the middle person and focusing where the ball goes. We had practice with on our passing drill. 

We had two teams on the field, defender and attacker. The other team stayed in the shelter while coach Mark was explaining about focusing on running straight. Our skills was passing the ball and working together.

Fractions.

 Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces.

Fractions have two parts, the numerator, and the denominator. The denominator tells the size of the fraction. The numerator shows how many pieces there are.

An examples is five eights (5 / 8). The fractions size is eighths so, the denominator is eight. There are five pieces so, the numerator is five.

See below for examples.

 

Weapons Research

 This week was about researching the weapons and finding different kind of information. Our task was making a google slide that explained about the poi, ti rakau, taiaha and haka. Me and partner was researching the weapons from when was it used. 

Poi is used for girls performance like swung around it's wrist. Ti rakau is used in a throwing or sing games. Taiaha is used for fighting in a war. Haka is  a performance that makes enemies scared of them.

Kiwisport - Rugby.

First we practised two and three man settle to get ready for the game of touch. Coach Mark told us to aim for  one person when we drive the ball down the field. 

Next we played a game of touch. The game was for learning how to play and how to use a two and three man settle.

I was able to execute two man settles well with my partner behind me, Fala. Lastly I need to practise three man settle because I get confused about who gets the ball.

I really enjoyed practising three and two man settle. 

QAR.

This week I completed my QAR template task. It included reading Graffiti Art or Crime. We used 1 persuasive texts to help us with our QAR template. In our QAR template was solving the information from the question. We explained different kind of information about graffiti. For examples - Graffiti has information in positive ways and shows artist can express everyone. 

LI: To identify the main ideas.                                                                                                                          

Maths - Fractions.

 I learnt about fractions in quarters and eighths.

For fractions I started cutting one whole cup into quarters and eighths. 

Our second task was making one google slide that explained or showed quarters and eighths. 

The numerator is the top number section that was left over for you. The denominator is how many pieces that were cut in the beginning.

LI: To define fractions.

Emergency Shelters.

 The inquiry task was to write down the materials that are needed for the storm shelter that is going to be built.In total there are 9 materials that could protect against storm shelter. There are three main materials that are important to use for protecting the shelter and which are concrete, chicken wires, and rubber bracelets. We chose concrete because it is not easy to break apart. We chose chicken wires because it can keep the shelter stable. We chose rubber bracelets because it can stop electricity.

The other six materials are: cotton balls, aluminium, Popsicle sticks, duck tape, hard plastic, and steel.  All 9 materials are important for defending the shelter and could be useful for something in danger.
We figured out the amount was because we drew the shelter and drew our materials. We kept on filling the whole until it was finished. For example: For concrete, the height is 18cm and the width is 20cm. There are four walls and the floor. So there are five and five places to use the concrete. That’s how we figured out the concrete can be used.

Emergency shelters are really important when it comes to floods and different kinds of storms.

Names and Conversation.

This week I learnt how to translate Maori names and Conversation.

For Maori our first task was to translate the Maori names into English ones we couldn't use Maori dictionary to find clues. Whaea Odie explained our second task which is Maori conversation.

Touch Rugby | Kiwi Sport

For kiwisport our game was touch rugby. Our coach was, Mr Mark and we learned new skills. 

The games were called scoop touch, Attack and Defend, non bibs and bibs. Our skills was diving, planting the ball and trying to score.

First we started by practising the skills before we played. The skill we played was planting the ball which is putting the ball between your legs and walk over it so your partner can pick it up and throw to you so we did that again and again. Our second game was scoop touch which was almost the same like the first game.

Inquiry experiment.

 For inquiry our experiments was insulators a material that limits heat and cold movements. Our material was plastic cups, metal cans, paper cups and polystyrene cups. Our experiment material was plastic cups. We first grab one tray, Chromebooks and plastic cups. 

Next we started filling up our plastic cups with hot water and measure it up to 100millimetres. We put a cylinder in the plastic cups to measure how high it could be. Our next experiment insulators cold movements.

Division

Division is sharing things or objects among a number of groups. For example: there were 24 counters shared among 6 people. Each person got 4 counters. 

LI:   share objects evenly.

Inquiry

 LI: to learn and practise experimental methods.

For inquiry we experimented to find out which material can absorb the most water. The material was sand, stone, cotton, paper towels and nappy's brand 1 and 2.

Our group experiment was cotton which absorbent 96ml and didn't absorbent 4ml. We first measured 100ml of water into a container and dip 5 drops of food colouring in it.

We take 50g of cotton and put it in a tray to capture any not absorbed of water. Then we measured how much water that did't absorbed in the tray.

Multiplication and Word Problem.

Multiplication is  a faster way for adding a lot of the same number over and over. To identify a multiplication word problem follow the steps below.

Rahi and the Patupaiarehe.

This week we were learning to summarise. 

We also to linked visualisation inference to help us.

 We filled in a story web to summarise each part of the story.

 I used my visualisation from week 1 to help separate the parts of the story.

 I used my character inference traits to use adjectives and evidence to help summarise different parts. 

Using good adjectives unlocks meaningful information,and I can summarise faster.

 Connecting all 3 strategies helped me to understand the story,character & keywords.

 LI: Summarise using visualising and inferences.

Comment Thread.

Hi Ariana I really like your facts and opinion posters and the story of Rahi and the patupaiarehe.

Basic Fact.
