I did a Summer learning joureny activity a poetry slam
In the beginning I did a chart full of a noun, a verb, a adjective, and a adverb with the synonyms
Next I put in the synonym word and put in a image that shows what the word means.
Lastly I went onto the next slide where I put in a bunch of pictures that remind me of summer / What I enjoy doing in summer, and in the middle a picture of me
I enjoyed this task beacuse it reminded me about my favorite thing to do in the summer.
I created line art
First I ruled my horizontal and vertical axies onto a grid and numberd it to 20 then I conected the lines from inersection to intersection to make a big star in the middle.
Next I drew a few flowers around the page and along with some eyes, finally I added some tiny stars all around the page.

Afterwards I wrote down my ideas and put in an explanation for each of my topics on why we should have less school time.
To finish up I linked all of the websites I used to find information from to each one of my topics.
I learned a lot about why we should have less school time
I completed 2 reading activities
First I made a copy of a synthesis draw. Then I wrote in my prior knowledge, afterwards I started to read the book and filled in the new information, and new understandings. After I went on to my next activity.
Second I did a Qar Where I looked at the questions and put them in either right there, think and search, author and me, or on my own. Then I finished putting which boxes the questions needed to go in.
Finally I wrote my explanations for each of the questions.
I enjoyed doing these activities because I got to learn more about technology.
I Learned persuasive writing.
First I watched 2 videos on what persuasive writing is. It talks about what persuasive writing is and how to use it. Then I finished watching the videos.
Afterwards I got a document and brainstormed some ideas about school, self, and world using traffic light colors. The traffic light colors are green, red, and yellow. Green means go forward, red means to stop, and yellow means slow down.
To finish up we got into partners then we went through each other's ideas.
I learned a lot about what persuasive writing is and how to use it.
Addition and Subtraction can be solved by using two strategies: counting on/back, rounding and compensating.
My company, Propers, learnt how to build a party popper
In the beginning, we wrote what designs we wanted on the part popper. For example we decided that we would use a jack and the beanstalk design. We decided that it was a good idea because there was a lot of filling the represented jack and the beanstalk.
Afterwards we built the party popper. We used a nut, plastic cup, yellow filling, and a small rubber band.
In the end we tested out party poppers.
The experience was amazing because I got to learn how to make a party popper.
This week we continued to write maori senetences.
First I looked up the words that needed to be translated into the sentences using the Maori dictionary website.
Then I put the translated meanings into the senteces, the sentences were Kei hea te ....? which means where is the object, the other sentence was saying where the object is for example kei runga ..... which means the object is on something.

We also learnt how to say a new sentence, Kei runga ki te kutikuti", this means the sicssors are above.
I enjoyed this activity bt I need to practice on my sentences.
Blancing is trying to stay in a position without falling before you feel the tipping point.
The first activity I did was tenis were one person has the ball and he other has the racket, the person wth the ball trows the ball and the person with the racket has to try and hit the ball. This was easy because I could stay in a steady position while hitting the ball.
The next activity was the hokey where one person rolls the ball and the person with hokey stick need sto try and stop the ball and roll the ball back. This one easy because I could easily stop the ball and roll it back to my partner.
The third activity was the egg and spoons wehave to try and use power while balancing on one leg and trying to go up ad own with our arms as far out as we can. This was hard because I couldent keep my balancing while going up and down.

The finall activity was vollyball were we try to pass the ball to our partners while blancing with one foot up.This was easy because I could serve the bal and pass it back to my partner.
This week we did Reciprical Reading about WW1.
While doing reciprical reading each person had a role they were the leader, predicter, clarifier, questioner, and summeriser.
The most helpful one I think was the clarifier, the clarifier would find out each meaning of the difficult words so that we understood what the passage was telling us.
This was enjoyable becasue I learned a lot of new things and the meaning. of new words.
Did you know that there are 3 simple machines that help move heavy objects, which are pulley, screw, and wheel and axle.
We did 5 diffrent activities that envoled balance, For every activity we stood on one leg.
For the first activity we used the frisbee, this was challenging becuse when my partner threw the frisbee at me I kep on dropping it.
The second activity I did was the basketball, This was easy becuse I could stay in a steady position and not fall.
The third Activity I did was the netball, this was easy becuse we were just passing it to each.
The fourth activity envoled a rugby ball, this was hard becuse we couldent stay still.
This finally activity envoled a hokeystick and a ball, this was difficult becuse we couldent stop the ball with the hokeystick.
Calenders show us the Day, Week or Month.
There are 12 months in the year, they are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, November, and December.
Months have 28, 30, or 31 days.
There are number patterns on a calender by looking for four connectinh days for example 20, 60, and 100.
Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 timestables heps u read a Calender
This week I wrote cause and effect sentences.
I started off by putting back an explanation back together, stage one was about eggs, the second stage was about the caterpillars, the third stage was about chrysalis, and the fourth stage was about the butterflies.
Then I made sentences that used cause and effect in them as well as using causal language in the sentences.
This task helped me learn more about causes and effects and how to use causal language.
I learnt how to say a sentence to pass an object to someone on my left, and did some revision.
We started off with the rivising on the lesson we did last week, tenei tena and tera, witch means here. there, and over there.
The new sentence I learnt was "Hoatu te turu ki te taha maui witch means", pass the chair the person on the left.
This was kinda hard because it took me a while to learn how to say the sentence and how to pronunce them properly.
Texts have all kinds information that tells about a spasific kind of meaning.
Keywords unlocks new information from words no knowing what they mean and helps by understanding it more.
An example for this is conscription, conscription is being forced to do somthing without having to choose.
Digital and Analog time help us know what time of the day it is.
Digital time displays numbers for minutes and hours and use Am or Pm to tell us what time of the day it is.
Elapsed time is how much time has gone by. skip counting in 5s helps calculate how much time has elapsed.
Today in groups we did problem solving about time.
First we found out the answers to the problems.
Then we discused about how we figured out the answers.
Finally as a class we talked a about what the right answers were and what wern't.
This was hard becuse it took us a while to figure out the answers.
This week we found 6 simple machines around our school.
These are the 6 simple machines.
The screw helps attach objects together.
The wheel and axel helps objects move around easier.
The wedge helps by pushing objects apart from each other.
The pulley helps by moving objects from and low level to a higher level.
The lever helps helps by lifing heavy objects.
The inclined plane helps getting object from a low level to a higher level.
We did a balancing activity around our enviourment.
We took a range of photos about balancing, the first photo was balancing on a bench with our group.
The second photo shows one person from the group balancing on equitment.
The third photo shows two people balancing on equitment and helping each other not to fall.
The fourth photo shows having one person balacing on there a person.
The fifth photo shows the group balancing on each other with the least amount of contact.
This activity was really enjoyable and hard becuse balancing on my group was difficult.
This week I learnt diffrent kinds of prepoistions.
The prepoisitions I learnd were tenei wicth means here, tena means there, and tera means over there.
I enjoyed learning these prepoitions because I got to learn them in Maori and learn about what they mean.
Analog clocks are a peice of technology that help tell time.
A clock has three mechanisms. The second hand moves around the clock the fastet.
The minute hand is the longest and moves when the second hand is completed 1 rotaion.
A full rotaion of the minute hand is 1 hour. The hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the big numbers.
An Analog clock requirs you to look outside to know if it is morning or afternoon.
There ar six simple machines that people made to helps them to left heavy objects.
The screw helps attach objects together by rotating into the object and staying tightly together.
The wheel and axel helps objects move around easier by pushing it to make it roll.
The wedge helps by pushing tings apart from each other in difrent directions.
The pulley helps by moving objects from and low level to a higher level. The lever helps helps by lifing heavy objects, it can also be used to meausre weight. The incined plane also helps getting object from a low level to a higher level but easier.
LI: to identify the six simple machines.
I read 16 pags of Elbert Einstien by Isabel Munoz, Jane Kent
Elbert Einstin is the worlds famous mathematician, physicist, and scientist that talks how he became all thoses things
This book was really intresting to read because I got to learn how Elbert Einstin became a mathematician, physicist, and scientist.
LI: to summerise and retell a text.
I did a speed demon challenge up to 20 on subtraction.
I got 100/100 my time was 6 minutes and 11 seconds.
I think I did really well but next time I will try harder to get a faster time.
LI: to recall basic facts fluently and quickly.
Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.
Teamwrok consists of three main mechanisms. Communication is talking to each other sharing and figuring out ideas, an example for communication in dodgeball is when the teams shares ideas to eliminate the other teams.
Cooperation is helping each other out, an example for cooperation in dodgeball is when the teams help their teammates that are out of the square by giving them a ball.
Collaboration is working with a group to achieve a goal, an example for collaberation in dodgeball is when people work together by encouraging their teammates.
There are three connections are helpful when reading because they help understand more about the topic.
Text to self means making a connection that happendn inside of the book and something simaler that happend in real life, an example for text to self: The duck tricked the rat into going inside of the cave, my connection is when i tricked my brother into thing that my mum was callig him.
Multiplacation is a fast way of adding the same number may times. The three, four, and six times tables are examples of multiplacation.
The three times tables are multiplaying three by a number of groups. The four times tables are multiplying four by a number of groups. The six times tables are multiplying six by a number of groups.
The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multiplacation eqautions. The next times tables to learn are seven, eight, and nine.
I completed a speed demon challenge up to 5 on subtraction.
I got 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes and 58 seconds.
I did really well and next time I will go onto a higher level and get a faster time.

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to implemented throughout the activity.
Information should be kept safe or should be posted on the internet.
Pubic information is something that can be posted on the internet and can be shared with other people, for exmple: cat videos, pictures of harmless things etc.
Private information should be kept private and should not be on the internet or somthing bad could happen, for example: address, phone number, card details etc.
Public information should be safe and harmless. Private information should not be shared to anyone and be kept safe.
LI: to differentiate between public and private information.
A character trait is somthing we can do where there is information that needs to be filled in about a spasific character in a book using adjectives and facts. There are 3 main characters in the book The Highway Rat we can infer about.
The duck has a clever idea to get rid of the rat because the rat was being disrespectful to everyoe and stealing their food.
She tells the rat that she has a sister that made sweets inside of a cave. She then leads the rat into the cave and the rat got stuck.
When the duck got back to the village she gave the villagers back their food.
Using these facts and adjectives it can be inferred that the Duck is a nice, caring, clever person that helps people that are in need.
LI: to infer information about characters in a story.
Multiplacation is a fast way of adding the same number may times. The two, five, and ten times tables are examples of multiplacation.
The two times tables are multiplaying two by a number of groups. The five times tables are multiplying five by a number of groups. The ten times tables are multiplying ten by a number of groups.
The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multiplacation eqautions. The next times tables to learn are three, four, and six.
There are some differences and similarities in Kapa Haka and the Tinikling.
First I wrote in what similarities of Tinikling and the Kapa Haka dance in the green box. They have some similarities like they both are national dance.
Then I wrote in the differences that each dance has on the yellow circle like Kapa Haka uses hand work and Tinikling uses foot work.
I liked this task because I got to learnt about the differences about Kapa Haka and Tinkling and the similarities some cultures have.
I completed a speed demon challenge up to 20.
I did up to 20 because i wanted to challenge myself and go onto a higher level.
I got 2 wrong but they were typing errors. I got 100/100 and my time was 11 minutes and 9 seconds.
Next time i will try a harder level and get a higher time.
LI: to recall basic facts fluently and quickly
I completed 3 slides on multiplication with my group.
First we got a cup of counters of unknown amount.
Then we split the counters into small groups and counted how many groups we had.
Then we figured out what the multiplication equaled.
I learnt that multiplication is a fast way of adding the same number many times.
