Kiwi Can

In kiwi can today we had to get into groups of five. And there was one leader and the leader had to tell the rest of the group what to do and the rest of the group had to follow the instructions given. and then after that we sat in a circle and we had to talk about our strengths and weakness things that we think we are good at and things we are bad at. we had to share them in a little group then share with the whole class what er are good and bad at doing. and the last thing we did was the human knot. we got into a circle and we had to make a knot with our hands and we had to work together and undo the tie.

Maori

LI: to the history of the Maori culture.
For Maori we had to watch a video that had only the Maori language, we then had to translate those words into English. We also had to translate some Maori words into English. The words the we had to translate into English were Kupu, Hoa, Koa, Moa, two translations of Noa, Ngutu Roa, two translations of Roa and two translations of Toa.  We also had to use three of the Moari words in one sentence

Kiwi can

L.I To respect people and objects.

This week we had our first session of Kiwi Can. For this term we have another Theme. Our theme that we were learning about was Respect. Respect means using our manners and honouring people. Then we went into our energiser. The energiser was called Fruity tuity. For this game we needed to listen carefully for what the teacher was saying. If Mr says Apple we would need to jump forward, if he says banana we would need to turn 1.8 degrees around, and if he said orange we would need to jump backwards. Then we had to get back into our 4 lanes. Then we started talking about Unique.

Swimming

We had to find a life jacket that could fit us we put the life jacket on then we came and sit on the wall.
Next we had to swim from the half way to the other end of the swimming pool with our life jackets . We had to get in small groups so we can make a change this helps us with we are in the water to keep together and no one get lost.

For the next swimming skill we had to huddle together this helps us because if it windy or cold and if we do the huddle then we will be warm.
Our next one was to dive like a pencil dive we had to dive and touch the floor and come back up.

For last and final one we had to go to the wall stand up and put on hand at the back of your head and then we had to put other hand on top of our belly we had to jump into the water this helps us so we don't hurt or head.

Rugby players

This week we have been combining all of numeracy and literacy skills to complete multiple tasks about the RWC this year. For this literacy task we had to match a player in the rugby world cup to a position that they play. We had to add pictures to show the players and some facts about the players.

Inquiry l Rube Goldberg machine

LI: to try make a Rube Goldberg machine with all the six simple machines.

We had to try make a Rube Goldberg machine with the simple six machines. A Rube Goldberg machine is a complicated machine to do a simple thing. It took us 2 tries to get every thing working. I was the person working with the wheel and axle. We used a incline plain, wheel and axle and a lever. 

To create our machine we used a chair and some wood to make the incline plane. We used a car and a book to start our machine. Then someone tips the book, the book hits the car and the car comes down the incline plain, as soon as it gets to the bottom it's going to the person at the bottom of a table. The person at the bottom of the table is going to roll the ball in his hand. The ball then rolls and hits the person standing in front of the table. The person in front of the table is going to roll the basketball then the basketball comes down hits the person next to him. The when the basketball hit the person next to him, the person next to him slides under the table and hits the person that is at the finish. The person at the finish is going to roll the ball down the incline plain and the ball hits the cup with the dice in it.

The thing I found challenging was trying to get everything working. I would change people being under the table.

Rugby world cup

LI: apply inquiry, literacy and numeracy skills to learn about the rugby world cup.

This week we are doing a RWC (rugby world cup) challenge, We are using our skills we have learned this year so far. This includes numeracy,literacy and inquiry. Our first numeracy task was world time,we basically had to search what JST (japan standard time) to New zealand time and to other countries. The countries on the table show what time in the world the will world cup final will happen.

AM means ante meridiem, that means before midday like 12:00, post meridiem which means after 12:00. Massive countries like Russia have different time zones unlike small countries like Fiji that has a uniform timezone (uniform timezone means the same time).
