Minute To Win It Mini Olympics Recap

This week for inquiry we had to make a DLO showing how to play the minute to win it activities, the results that we got doing the challenges, a reflection about the minute to win it activities and steps we think that we need to practise as a team. In my team I have Farzana, Victoria, Chris and Jordan. Our group name is ABAN. First we had to practise the minute to win it activities. Then we moved on to doing the DLO. While we were doing the activities we had to take photos and videos of us doing the challenges. The challenges that we did was magic carpet ride, clipper, bit dicey and stack attack. Everyone who did stack attack failed last week, so we tried doing it again this week.

Kiwi Sport

This week for softball we had Alison. The activity that we played today was called scatter ball. First we had to get into partners. Then we had to make 2 lines. One team was the fielders and the other team was the batters. For the first round my team was the fielders and the other team was the batters. For scatter ball Alison had to throw the ball to the batters, so the batters could hit the ball. The fielders had to try and catch the ball with their hands and put it on the cone. To catch it they had to get into monkeydile. Once the batters hit the ball they had to run to 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and back to home base. If a fielders caught the ball and put it on the cone they had to sit down near the teacher. Everyone had a turn of batting and fielding. We had 2 rounds of scatter ball. Once we finished playing this activity we played 4 corners. For 4 corners Alison was in the middle. Everyone else had to go to one of the bases. Alison had to count from 5 to 0. When Alison counted 0 she had to choose a base. If she chose home base everyone from home base had to sit down near the teacher. We had 2, 3 or 4 rounds of this activity. For some of the rounds we had to pick a animal and act like it without making a sound. Once we finished playing this activity we said goodbye to Alison and went back to class.

Commenting

This week for commenting I decided to comment on Lukah's blog. The post that I commented on was Lukah's Duffy Assembly.  I think that Lukah did a fantastic job at doing the Duffy Assembly post. I really liked the way Lukah added a image of what he did and I also liked the way he explained what he did. One thing I really liked was that he wrote down what Tayla and Matt does. I just wanted to know if he had fun learning about Tayla and Matt. I had a lot of fun commenting on Lukah's blog. Here is the link- Lukah's blog 

Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we had Ms Lily and Mr Matt. Our theme was still positive relationships. Our topic for this week is conflict resolution. First we had to get into 4 groups of even people. Then we moved on to our first activity. Our first activity was 21. For 21 we had to get into a circle. Someone had to hold a ball and pass it on to the person next to them. We kept passing the ball to each person who was next to them. Everyone had to count up to 21 slowly. Whenever we counted up to 21, the person with the ball had to sit down. We only had 2 practise rounds and 1 round. Once we finished playing this activity we moved on to the next activity. The activity that we played was Guess emotions. For this activity we had to get into our 4 lines and face the whiteboard. The person at the front had to stand up and face their team. Mr Matt would write a emotion on the whiteboard. The team members had to act out the emotion out to the person at the front. The person at the front had to try and guess the emotion. We couldn't cheat, we couldn't say the emotion to the person standing at the front and we couldn't talk. Teams that won rounds got a point. We only had 1 or 2 practise rounds and 8 rounds. Once we finished playing this activity we sat down in our lines and did GKQ/General Knowledge Questions. Our buzzer for GKQ was hello. Everyone had a turn of GKQ. At the end we said goodbye to Mr Matt and Ms Lily.  

Self Monitoring

This week for reading we had to read news called Adam Hall wins gold at Paralympic games. First we had to partner up with someone from a different group. I decided to work with Florence. We then went on Kiwi Kid News and read about Adam Hall winning gold at Paralympic games. Once we read the news we had to tell each other what words we didn't know. The words that I didn't know was snared, slalom and penultimate. When we finished telling each other the words we didn't know we had to make a copy of a google doc that was on the LS1 site. We didn't share our partner the google docs, they had to make their own copy. After that we had to write down the title of the text, the text image, the words that we were stuck on, the strategy we used to find out what the words we didn't know meant and what the words mean. We had to use the fix up strategies to help us find the meaning of the words. The fix up strategies are re read, read ahead, find out what unknown words mean, stop and think, create a picture in your head, ask questions, make predictions, make connections, look at pictures, illustrations, charts and graphs and asking for help. Here is the link to the article and Kiwi Kid News- Article & Kiwi Kid News

Organising our Drives

LI: To organise our files correctly. This week for cybersmart we had to organise our drive by putting DLOs in folders we have. First we sat on the mat and told someone some of the folders and DLOs we have in our drive. Then we told the teacher the folders. The folders that I have is art, class blog, cybersmart, google photos, home learning, inquiry, LS1 2018 photos, maths, media, reading, screencastify and writing. After we told the teacher which DLO goes in one of the folders. Once we finished telling the teacher we had to partner up with someone. The year 6's had to partner up with a year 4 and the year 5's had to partner up with a year 5 that wasn't in LS1 last year. After that we organised our drive. If your drive is messy you can make folders and put all of your DLOs in the folders. You should organise your drive, so that if you have to go on a DLO you can press on the folder that you put your DLO in. If you don't organise your drive you will have to scroll down to find the DLO you want to go on.

Duffy Assembly

Today the whole school and I had Duffy assembly. We had it in the hall. We had a few guest to visit our school. Our guests were Tayla Hodson Tomokino, Matt Johnson and a lady that was from mainfreight. Tayla Hodson Tomokino and Matt Johnson told us what they do on the stage. They also told us some other cool things about their selves and they told us how reading makes you famous. When Tayla was young she used to be awesome a BMX rider. She won 4 awards in 4 years in a row. She was a champion at BMX and she was the 2nd best at the international BMX. Tayla is now a accountant, a interviewer and a commentator. Tayla played touch rugby because she wanted to play other sports. Matt is a rugby players who plays for the blues. One of the hardest teams the Blues played against was Melbourne Storms. Tayla's future plans are to complete law and wants to help sport people with contractors. Tayla reads books about the law and rules about what she wants to do, so it can help her succeed. Matt's future plans are to be a P.E teacher. Matt will read books about rules of being a P.E teacher and other things about Matt's future plans. Tayla and Matt asked if we had questions for them to answer. I learnt a lot of interesting things about Tayla Hodson Tomokino and Matt Johnson. When Tayla and Matt finished talking, they handed out books to each class. After we went back to class and then Tayla and the lady from mainfreight visited LS1. We asked more questions, so we could get to know them more better. Tayla answered some questions. At the end Tayla and the lady from mainfreight handed out our books to us. I had a lot of fun learning about Tayla and Matt. I didn't even know that they played rugby and other things.

Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi sport we had Ashley. First we played scatter ball. We had to get into 2 teams. One team was the batters and the other team was the fielders. For the first round my team was the batters and the other team was the fielders. For scatter ball the batters had to hit the ball by someone pitching at us. We could only have 3 tries of hitting the ball. If we missed we had to hit the ball by the t pole. The fielders had to spread around the bases. They had to wear gloves and try to catch the ball to get the batter out. Once the batter hit the ball they had to run to each base. There was a fielder at the back of the batter. The fielders had to throw the ball to the fielder. Once we finished playing the first round we swapped places. I had a lot of fun playing scatter ball. When we finished playing we made a circle and told Ashley what we had to do when pitching. Whenever we pitch we had to use l, k, flick and rock star.

Commenting

This week for commenting I decided to comment on Mojtaba's blog. The blog post that I commented on was Kiwi Sport. I think that Mojtaba did a fantastic job. I really liked the way Mojtaba added a image of what he did. I also like the way he explained what he did on his blurb. I thing I really liked was that he made is own LI/Learning Intention. I only wanted to know if he had fun when he was at kiwi sport. I had a lot of fun commenting on Mojtaba's blog.

Figurative Language- Pigeon Impossible

LI: To identify and use different forms of figurative language. This week for writing we had to watch a video about pigeon impossible. Once we finished watching pigeon impossible we had to make a copy of a google slide that was on the LS1 site. After that we had to read the text and highlight the things that have figurative language. The types of figurative language is personification, alteration, idiom, simile and metaphor.  At the bottom it has the colours we have to use when we are highlighting. Once we finished highlighting we had to write the second event of pigeon impossible. For the second event my group and I had to have 2 of each figurative language.

LI: To monitor our understanding of a text by ourselves. This week for reading we had to make a poster about self monitoring. First we had to read a article. The article that my group and I read was called Water Worries. Then we had to choose 3 words that we got stuck on while reading the article. After that we had to write down the fix up strategies we used to find out the meanings of the words. The fix up strategies are re read, activating prior knowledge, making connections, looking up unknown words on a dictionary or on google, read ahead and asking someone if they know what the word you don't know means. I found out the meanings of the words by looking up the words I got stuck on google search.

Device Skills

LI: To learn and use core digital device skills. This week for cyber smart we had to make a copy of a google slide and do keyboard short cuts. First we had to sit on the mat and we had to list all the keyboard short cuts we know. We also had to say what the keyboard short cuts do and we had to say what keyboard short cuts is. The keyboard short cuts that we had to do was ctrl+x and ctrl+v, ctrl+c and ctrl+v, ctrl shift v, ctrl a, ctrl+z and ctrl+y, ctrl+k and we also had to download a image of sponge bob. For this task we had to get into pairs. I worked with Farzana.

Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we had Ms Lily and Mr Matt. The first activity we played was 21. For 21 we had to be in a circle. In the circle someone had to hold a ball. Then the person had to pass the ball to the person next to them. We all had to count slowly up to 21. We kept on passing it to each other fast. When we counted up to 21 and someone was holding the ball, that person had to sit down. We had two practises and 1 round. After we finished playing this game we sat down on the mat and we had to tell Mr Matt and Ms Lily what role model is. After we played who am I. For who am I we had to get in 3 groups of 5. We had to face the white board. For this activity the person at the front had to face their group. Ms Lily would write down a person or a animal or anything and the person on the front had to ask their group questions, so they could figure out what thing that Ms Lily wrote on the white board. We all had turns. We only had 2 practise rounds and 1 round. After we finished playing who am I we did GKQ/General Knowledge Questions. Our buzzer for this week was hey. Ms Lily and Mr Matt told us a few questions that we had to try and answer correctly. When we finished doing GKQ we said goodbye to Mr Matt and Ms Lily and went back to class. Our chant for this week is- Leaders are fair, leaders are fun, leaders include every to.

Place Value House

LI:To create a DLO that shows how to solve a subtraction equation using the place value house.hh
This week for maths we had to make a DLO shows a example of solving a subtraction equation using the place value house. We learnt about one for ten and ten for one. First we had to watch a video about someone who shows how to solve subtraction equations. After we watched the video we did some examples with our teacher.  For the DLO I decided to use a google slide. For this task we needed to have a explanation of how to solve a subtraction equation. I decided to add in one for ten and ten for one. The subtraction equation that I did was 236 - 45.

Commenting

This week for commenting I decided to comment on Matthew's blog. The blog post that I commented on was Maths Strategy. I think that Matthew did a fantastic job. I really liked the way Matthew explained what he did. I think that viewers will understand it better. I also like the way he added a DLO of the activity he did. When I did the maths strategies it was kind of hard to do. I had a lot of fun commenting on Matthew's blog. Here is the link- Matthew's blog

Pixel Art

LI: To develop artistic and fine motor skills. This week for a daily 6 I decided to do pixel art. For pixel art I decided to do a love heart. I did pixel art because I wanted to get better at drawing on the lines. I also wanted to get better at it because I wanted to ave straight lines. I had to search up simple pixel art to find a design. I found this design online and copied it. Whenever I do pixel art it helps me make my lines more straight then I used to. I am not that good at making straight lines. This is how my pixel art turned out. I think it looks great.

Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi sport we had Ashley. We were learning how to get someone out in softball. We also learnt how to pitch bat and field. For the first activity we played scatter ball. First we got split up into 2 groups. My team was the fielders and the other team was the batters. The batters had to hit the softball that was on the t pole. The batters could only have 1 shot of hitting the ball. The fielders had to try and catch the ball with their softball glove. If the fielders catched the ball with their glove the batter was out. Once we finished being fielders and batters we had to swap. Next week someone will pitch the ball to us. I was really tired when we were playing this game but it was also really fun. We only had 2 rounds of scatter ball.

LI: To make a group logo for the mini LS1 Olympics. This week for inquiry we had to make a emblem. For the emblem we had to get into groups of 5. In my group I had Farzana, Victoria, Chris and Jordan. We had to make a logo because we are going to do a LS1 mini Olympics. Our theme for the mini LS1 Olympics is minute to win it. For our logo we decided to make our team name ABAN. ABAN stand for our countries. A is for America, B is for Burma, the other A is for Afghanistan and the N is for New Zealand. For our logo we decided to do the atom. For the atom we decided to do our favourite colours. We used red, blue, yellow and green. We also decided to put our group name in the middle of the atom. I think that our logo look awesome.

Different Maths Strategies

LI:To learn how to solve subtraction equations using different maths strategies. This week for maths we had to make a DLO that shows different maths strategies to solve equations. I only did 4 math strategies. The math strategies that I did was place value, number line, reverse operation and algorithm. For the DLO I decided to do a google slide. For me I think that the place value is the easiest. The equations that we had to solve was 783 - 395 and 1123 - 846. It took me a while to solve these equations.

Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we had Ms Lily and Mr Matt. We were still focusing on our theme positive relationships and our topic leadership. First we played rock, paper, scissors. For this activity we had to get into pairs. My partner was Victoria. For this activity we had to play rock, paper, scissors. Whoever lost had to go behind their partners back and whoever won had to verse other people. We only had 3 rounds. After we sat on the mat and had to tell Mr Matt and Ms Lily what makes a good leader and what makes a bad leader. After that we moved on to the other activity. The activity that we played was called charades. For charades Ms Lily split us into 3 groups. 1 person from each group had to go to Mr Matt and Ms Lily. Ms Lily or Mr Matt had to whisper something for the 3 people to do. The 3 people had to come back to their group and act out what they had to do. The other people in their group had to guess what the action is. We played until everyone had a turn. Once we finished playing this activity we had to get into 4 lines. Once we did that we played GKQ/General Knowledge Questions. Each group had different buzzers to do. Here is our chant- Leaders are fair, leaders are fun, leaders include every to.

Intensive Art Week Recount

LI: To accurately use a range of simple, compound and complex sentences. This week for writing we had to write a personal recount about intensive art week. For our recount we had to use tree. Tree stands for title, reveal, events and ending. We had to write our personal recount on our writing journey. Once we finished writing our recount we had to show Mr. Wong, so he could tell us what to fix. I had to fix some of my parts of my recount. I had a lot of fun writing a personal recount about intensive art week. We were focusing on personal recount and sentence structure. I wasn't here on Monday, so I had to write my personal recount today.

Predicting- Picking up Puha

LI: To make and check predictions about a text. This week for reading we had to watch a video about predictions. After we watched the video we had to look at a story picking up puha and predict about it. We couldn't read the story. We had to make a copy of a google docs that was on the LS1 site. Then we had to predict things about the story. We had to write down what kind of book it is, what we think the story is about, why, a sentence we might see in the text and other predictions about Picking up Puha. After that we had to check if our predictions were right or wrong.

Pop Art- Self Portrait

LI: To use different techniques to create a visual art piece. This week for art we had to make a self portrait of ourselves. Our self portrait had to be pop art. When we finished making a slef portrait of ourselves we had to make a DLO showing what we did first, next, after and what we did last. We had to take photos of all 4 pictures. When we were doing the first step we had to take a photo, when we were doing the next step we had to take a photo, when we were doing the third step we had to take a photo and when we finished our piece of art we had to take a photo so we could put it beside the text. I think I did a great job at making a self portrait of my self.

Imaginative Recount

LI:To see if we have 3  first person, time connectives and past tense verbs. This week for writing we had to check our imaginative recount again. Then we had to comment on our writing and see if we have time connectives, past tense verbs and first person. The first person, past tense verbs and the time connectives were all part of structure & language. We had to find 3 of each. For time connectives I found 2 whens and one after. For first person I found 3 I's and for past tense verbs I found ripped, helped and flipped. For the comments we had to write down first person, past tense verbs and time connectives. If we wanted to comment on the google doc the had our writing on we had to highlight a word. Then there would be a comment button on the side, so we could comment. 

Prior Knowledge Poster

LI: To activate prior knowledge about a topic before reading. This week for reading we had to make a poster about what prior knowledge is. We had to make a google draw. For the prior knowledge poster I tried to find 2 images about prior knowledge. I decided to write what prior knowledge is, how it helps us and  more. I think that prior knowledge is a great reading strategy for everyone. For the images I decided to add 2 photos about prior knowledge. For this poster I just put in what I think what prior knowledge is. This was a easy activity to do.

Kiwi Sport

 This week for kiwi sport we had a new coach. Her name is Helena. First Helena split us into 2 groups. Then 1 group had to go to the second base and the other group had to go to the home base. After that we had to make a line. The line had to be boy, then girl. When Helena shouted out on your marks, get set, go the first person in both lines had to touch each base. They had to touch the home base, 1st base, 2nd base and the 3rd base. Then we had to go at the back of our group's line, so the next person could touch each base. After we finished playing this game we had to stand on a cone. There was cones lines up. One side of the cone had balls and the other side didn't have any balls. One group had to stand one one side of the cone and the other group had to stand on the other. Our partner's had to be someone from the other group. My partner was Mr. Ogilvie. We learnt how to pitch. The first thing we did was learning how to flick with the ball. The person with the ball had to flick the ball to their partner. We had turns flicking the ball to each other. After we practised flicking the ball to each other we learnt how to throw the ball. To throw the ball we had to put our throwing hand up like a l and we also had to put one leg and our other arm up like a k. Then we had to flick the ball and do the l and the k at the same time. When we were going to throw the ball to our partner we had to put or leg down. We had turns of throwing it to each other. After that we had a competition of throwing the ball to each other. Mr. Ogilive and I won because we throwed it to each other 50 times. If we didn't catch the ball we had to put our hands on our heads. At the end we said bye to Helena and went back to class.

Blog Commenting

This week for commenting I decided to comment on Farzana's blog. The blog post I commented on was Andy Warhol/Pop art. I think Farzana did fantastic work at doing her task. Two thing I really liked was that she explained what she did for the task she had to do and she created her own LI/ Learning Intention. I had a lot of fun commenting on Farzana's blog. Here is the link- Farzana's blog

Andy Warhol & Pop Art

LI: To find information about Andy Warhol and Pop Art. This week for inquiry we had to make a DLO show information about who Andy Warhol is and what pop art is. For this DLO we had to work in a group of 3. I decided to work with Farzana and Victoria. In our DLO we had to make sure to use the print design rules which are text, colour, composition and layout.  The DLO we did was a google slide because we decided to put lots of information. The things that we included in our DLO was who is Andy Warhol, when Andy Warhol died, when he was born, what Andy Warhol did, where Andy Warhol was buried, why Andy Warhol painted Marilyn Monroe, how Andy Warhol died, what pop art is, Andy Warhol quotes, why Andy Warhol was popular, a painting of Marilyn Monroe, a painting of the Campbell's soup can, a painting of green coca-cola bottles and a painting of Seymour H. Knox. Andy Warhol did a lot of pop art painting. He is one of the most popular pop artist. Pop art stands for popular art.

Rounding up Numbers

LI: To learn how to round up numbers. This week for maths we had to make a DLO that shows how to solve equations by rounding them up. We could do a google draw or a google slide. I decided to do a google slide. For each slide I did 3, but for the last one I had to do a slide for it alone. The equations were on the board. My group and I had to round up 10 equations. Here is a example of how to do this strategy. For example if my equation was 9 + 4 I would first make a tidy 10 with the 9, so 9 + 1 = 10. Then I would takeaway 4 and 1, so 4 - 1 = 3. Now I add 10 and 4 together, so 10 + 3 = 13. The answer to 9 + 4 is 13. I had a lot of fun using this strategy to answer equations. It was really easy using this strategy to find the answer to equations.

Kiwi Can

This week we had kiwi can with Ms. Lily and Mr. Matt. First we had sit on the mat and tell our topic fearless and fearplay. We have a new theme for this week. The new theme for this week is leadership. The first activity we played was Hammer. We had to find a partner. My partner was Victoria. For this game we had to put our hands in the middle of us. Our hands had to be in a fist shape. One my hand had to be at the bottom and one of Victoria's hand had to be at the top. Our other hands had to be in between. If Ms. Lily said bottom the person's hand that was on the top and to put their hand on the bottom. If Ms. Lily said top the person's hand at the bottom had to be at the top and if Ms. Lily said hammers the person's hand that was on the top had to try and hit the person's hand that was under the person's hand at the top. If you loose you had to sit on the floor, but if you won you had to find a new partner that won and verse them. We played 3 rounds of this activity. The other game we played was called Copy me. This game was part of leadership. For this game we had to get into 3 lines Then we all had to face the whiteboard. After that Ms. Lily, Mr. Ogilive and Mr. Matt had to show a action to a group. They had to tell the first person in front of the line. When they told the person the action the other person had to do it. The first person had to tap on someone's shoulder that was next to them. We kept on going on. The person at the back had to do the action. After we finished playing the game we had to sit down on the mat and get into our 4 lines. Then we played GKQ/ General Knowledge questions. For this 1 group had to stand up. Then one of the teachers had to ask the group a question. If someone in the group knew the answer they had to say the buzzer and say the answer they think it is. Then the other groups did it to. Our buzzer was wolf, wolf. Our chant for this week is Leaders are fair, leaders are fun, leaders include, everyone.

What's in a blog post?

LI: To understand what a blog post is. This week for Cyber smart we had to write the things that is in a blog post. In a blog post we need a title, labels, a blurb and a DLO. For the blurb we had to write down what we learnt, how we learnt it, a learning intention and what we did. If you don't write these on a blurb and you only write down what we did people who view your blurb won't understand properly. A DLO shows the activity you did on your device. DLO stands for Digital Learning Object. If you did a activity on a DLO and didn't post it with your blurb the viewers won't be able to see the task you did on your device. If you don't have a title the viewers won't see what your post is about.

Handwriting

LI: To develop neat handwriting. This week for daily 6 I decided to do handwriting because I wanted to get better at having neat handwriting. I chose to do the letter a. I did handwriting because I wanted to practise and practise until I get better at it. The more I practise the more my handwriting will be neater and neater. Whenever I do handwriting I try to make it neat and try not to make a lot of mistakes writing letters. For the letter a I had to do the capital A and the lower case a. I also had write a sentence starting with the letter A.
