Reading – Website

I learnt how to write a website.

Websites are used for many things. For example: websites are used for writing down information about people, places, a famous person, and other things.

We made a website called culture stories. There are many culture stories. For example: Maui and the Sun, How God made the earth, Goldilocks, 3 Little Pigs, The Maori Creation, Battle of the Mountains, Immortal Snake, and others.

These culture stories come from England, China, New Zealand, and Jewish. Battle of the Mountains, The Maori Creation, and Maui and the Sun is a New Zealand story. Battle of the Mountains is a Legend story, Maori Creation and Maui and the Sun is a Myth.

ome cultures are different because of their dances, stories, and songs.

Here is my website

 

Writing – Poem

I learnt how to write a poem.

First we learnt how to write a diamante, so we can write a limerick, haiku, and cinquain. We practised our diamante and tried to make it into a diamond shape. Diamante has 1 noun, 2 adjectives, 3 verbs, 4 nouns, 3 verbs, 2 adjectives, and 1 noun.

Next we made a DLO about our poem. Our poem needed the text big, photos, and print design rules.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to write a poem. I need to improve on writing my poem. I did well on making my DLO.

HPE – Badminton

We learnt a range of badminton skills.

First we learnt how to hold a racquet. We had to hold the racquet with our dominant hand. Our thumb has to be on top of your fingers. We also learnt how to serve the ball. We had to put the racquet under and the shuttlecock above the racquet. Then drop the shuttlecock and hit he shuttlecock.

Next we learnt how to control the shuttlecock. If I want to hit the shuttlecock up. I need to hold my racquet straight and put the shuttlecock above the racquet and hit it up. If I want to hit the shuttlecock towards someone, I have to put my racquet halfway to my knees and hit the shuttlecock towards them. We played a game called the name game.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to play badminton. I need to improve on hitting the shuttlecock. I did well on controlling the shuttlecock. 

Maths – Statistics

I learnt statistics.

First we wrote all of our charts. Our charts were the bar graph and the tally chart. For example: 20 people can ride a bike in Miss White’s Maths group and 0 people can ride a bike in Miss White’s Maths group.

Next we got more information about what month you were born in. January has 1 person, February has 2 people, March has 1 person, April has 4 people, May has 1 person, June has 2 people, July has 1 person, August has 2 people, September has 0 people, October has 1 person, November has 2 people, and December has 2 people.

The Princess’s of Cotermelon’s Skit

My group and I learnt how to act and say a skit.

First we practised our script. Our script was about karma. It was about Coter stealing $4450. Our first part of the skit went well, but we need to improve on remembering our lines, we did well on acting out our lines.

Next we recorded our skit. Our skit was hard because there weren’t enough people to record our video and there weren’t enough people to act out for Karma or the cops. We need to improve on acting it out. We did well on saying our lines.

We enjoyed making our skit because it was fun. We need to improve on it. We did well on recording our skit.

Kelly Sports – T Ball

I revised T ball skills.

First we revised hitting the ball. For batting it has to be the same height as our belly button. He taught us how to stand while hitting the ball. We had to put our feet straight in line, spread apart. Our arms has to be out straight at the contact point. 

Next we revised running between the bases by having a relay race. We ran to each base one person at a time making sure we touched each base. If we don’t touch the base, we will be out.

I enjoyed playing T ball because we versed each other. I need to imrprove on catching the ball. I did well on throwing.

 

Inquiry – Skit

I learnt how to write a little script about our skit.

The characters are Coter, Melon, and Karma. Coter and Melon are two people that do bad things, but Karma is a spirit that teaches people lessons. The message is karma will always come back to you. We chose this message, so other people can learn from this message.

Next we wrote the script. The script is about Coter and Melon stealing a netbook, but Melon didn’t like it. Karma used its powers and made the cops go to Coter. Coter gets arrested and Melon said “I told you karma will get you.”

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to write a script for my skit. I need to improve on making our script better, so it can tell the message through the skit. I did well on making the characters.
