Maui Lessons

 LI: To identify the underlying morals/themes/explanations in myths, legends and fairy tales. This week for reading we had to make a DLO about the lessons of Maui. First we had to do reading notes about Maui. The reading notes was reading strategies before reading, during reading and after reading. We had to do half of each. We had to read the story of Maui. Once we did that we had to make a DLO. I decided to choose a google slide. In the google slide I decided to include who Maui is, Maui questions and answers, a Maui summary and the lessons. I also decided to include a photo.

Different Angles

LI: To identify and construct right, acute and obtuse angles. This week for maths we had to make a DLO. The DLO that I decided to make was a google slide. After we made a google slide we had to find materials and show a obtuse angle, a acute angle, a right angle and a reflex angle. The materials that I used to show the angles was a book for acute, a chrome book for obtuse, a whiteboard for right and a chair for reflex. Once we did that we had to write down what acute, reflex, obtuse and right means. Acute is 0 to 90*, obtuse is 90 to 180*, Right is 90* and reflex is 180 to 360*.

Narrative-Soccer Game

LI: To write a quick narrative. This week for writing we had to write a quick narrative. First we had to choose a picture to write about. There was four photos to choose from. They were a soccer game, a softball game, a girl jumping on rocks and a big monster trying to take over the world I decided to choose the photo of the soccer game. We only had 45 minutes to write the narrative. We had to brainstorm, plan, draft, edit and publish it. For the narrative we had to have the title, the orientation, the problem, the events and the solution. For me it was hard because we only had a little bit of time to write the narrative. I enjoyed writing a quick narrative. Here is the link to my narrative- Narrative

Commenting

This week for commenting I decided to comment on Chris's blog. The blog post that I commented on was Tengu's Lessons. The connection Chris and I had was that we both did the reading task. I think that Chris did a fantastic job at doing the reading task. I liked the way he explained what he did for the reading task. I also liked the way he made a DLO that teached us the lessons of tengu and a summary of some of the tengu stories. The question that I asked was that if he had fun reading different stories of tengu. Here is the link- Chris's Blog

Swimming- YMCA Pools

LI: To learn how to swim. This week for kiwi sport we had swimming at the YMCA pools. First all of us sat down. Cameron teached us about hyperthermia and hypothermia. Hyperthermia is when your body is too hot, so like overheated. Hypothermia is when your body loses heat, so it means that  your body temperature is low. After we learnt about hyperthermia and hypothermia we went back to swimming.The coach that I was with was Kelly. First we had to jump into the pool safely. Then we got the pool noodles and floated on our backs to the other platform. While doing that we had to bring our arms forward than back.  Once we did that we floated on our front and kicked to the platform. After that we got the boards and floated on our front. We had to kick underwater and get to the platform. When we finished doing that we did the same thing, but float on our backs with the board. Then we tried floating on our backs without anything. While doing that we had to bring our arms close and far. We swam to the other side of the platform. Once we did that we could do any swimming to the other side of the platform. Once we finished that we got out of the pool and went to change. After that we went on the bus and went back to class.
