I wrote down persuasive texts.
First I chose what I was going to argue about why we should have less school time. Then I went on to multiple websites to find some reasons about my topic
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.

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.
This activity was enjoyable because I found out a lot of new words in Maori like aporo for apple.
