Summary - Treaty of waitangi

This week for reading we have been looking at the treaty of waitangi. This was a reading task that we did in groups. Nyjah, Fui, Viva, Savelina and I were in one group. We all read a story on this day came about. Next we wrote the vocab words we didn't understand or wanted to learn more about. Using the words that we wrote down we came up with 20 words then out of that 20 we had to choose the 6 most important words and turn it into a short summary of the story.   

Kiwi Can

Today was our first rotation of kiwi can. We have new kiwi can teachers Miss Lily and Mr Matt. Our focus this week was encouragement. We played a variety of games that show what encouragement looks like. We played ball tag. You are set into groups and one of those groups starts of with the ball. They are not allowed to move or throw it at the person they are trying to get. You only have 10 seconds to get as most people out. Which ever group gets the most people out is the winning team. I had fun at kiwi can this week and I am looking forward to go next week.

What Is My Morning Routine?

What Is My Morning Routine?

As you might already know everybody in this chaotic world has a morning routine. Weather it be getting up and having a shower or just getting changed. But I'm pretty sure that not everyone has the same routine they follow. Here is what my morning routine looks like.

To start off this routine I wake up to my alarm. Then I walk to the end of the hallway to turn on the shower. Next I get my clothes ready to jump in. I stay in the shower for about 5 to 10 minutes before I finally hop out and get dressed.

Now at this stage I usually have breakfast. For breakfast I either have rice bubbles or corn flakes. But sometime I like to have lasts nights dinner. That’s if there is anymore of course. With the help of a Milo I re-energize my body before we head off to school.   

Once all of us finish getting ready and have our bags on our back. We all head out the door ready for the school work that is yet to come. The car is running and we have made sure we've cleaned up our rooms we jump in the car ready to leave home and come to school.

Like I said before everybody has a morning routine. But they might be similar in some way. If you are like me and don't do very much in the morning than there is very little to say. This was my morning routine and the steps I do in the morning.

On Tuesday we did writing. For writing we had the choice to either do our morning routine or how we walk to school. I chose to do my morning routine because I think that I do more in this time. This is an explanation. A explanation is a writing task that is written in present tense, meaning it is written in words that are happening. 

Winter Olympic Mascots

This week Nyjah, Jeremiah and I started off our inquiry session by comparing two different mascots from the Winter Olympics. We chose to compare the modern white tiger Soohorang that will be show cased in South Korea for this years Winter Olympics, and a snow leopard from the 2014 Winter Olympics. Once we all  discussed on what mascots we decided to do we had to do a bit of research these mascots. After a while we compared these two animals. It was good working with different people. But with all of our co-operation we were able to finish assigned tasks.  

Winter Olympics Venn Diagram

Yesterday afternoon Nyjah, Jeremiah and I created a DLO on the Winter Olympics. We compared the 1924 Olympics to the modern Olympics and the similarities of the both of them. Writing as much as we could yesterday we came up with enough information to compare them with. One of the similarities we came up with was that they both had opening and closing ceremonies. 

Blog Post Analysis

Yesterday we created a blog post analysis. In this we had to make a bar graph about all the posts we have done during the time we have been at this school. With an analysis we had to explain why we have that much posts on our blogs. Last year I only did 125 blog posts. That is because I would get distracted very easily and forget to finish. I have added goals that I want to archive this year. I am trying to stay focused ore when doing my work by choosing sense able people to sit by when working. As I have not been at this school for very long I have done very little. Here is my blog analysis. 

Where am I?

 Today is the first day of school and 2018 has landed and so has our first rotation of writing. Our class had  to come up with seven sentences on what I felt, heard,  saw and  wondered. Thinking back to the holidays we had write what we did during the this time without giving to much information away but giving just enough about what we were doing. Here is my holiday in seven sentences. Can you guess what I did over the summer break?
