We learnt a range of hockey skills.

First we learnt how to hold a hockey stick. We put our left arm on the top of the hockey stick. On our right arm we put our right arm on the shaft. 

Then we learnt how to dribble the ball. We had to put the ball down and keep it still and rotate the hockey stick anti – clockwise. 

Afterwards we learnt two skills to pass. One was a sweet pass. The other is the push pass. The sweet pass is when your legs are spread out and the ball is behind our foot. The push pass is when the ball is in between our legs and the hockey stick is behind the ball and the ball doesn’t move.

Lastly we learnt how to stop the ball when someone passes. When the ball comes towards someone they can stop it with the hockey stick down on the ground and the hockey stick will stop the ball coming toward you. 

I enjoyed this task because it helps to pass the ball, stop the ball, dribble the ball, and hold the hockey stick. I did well on stopping the ball. I need to improve with my push pass because the ball moves when it touches the ball.

I learnt my basic facts boxes up to 20.

First I made a speed demon challenge.

Then I made a stopwatch. My time was 3 minutes 20 secounds.

Lastly I got 100/100 and competeled.

I enjoyed this task because it helps my learning. I did good at getting the answers right. I need to improve in my typing because I answered some questions slow.

Today I learnt about summarising the main ideas about a book called reading a boat.

First I read the first page and wrote the main keywords in a comment. I wrote the what, where, when, why, and how about the first page. After I wrote the what, where, when, why, and how. I wrote a 15 word summary to summarise the first page.

Then I read the second and third page and got some keywords from the page. The second and third page was about signs that were not important and ones that are important.

Last I read the fourth and fifth page and spent time looking for keywords about the page. The fourth and fifth text was about walking down the shore and signs.

I enjoyed summarising the keywords. I did well on finding some keywords about the all the pages. I need to improve my ability to find keywords because I couldn’t find lots of important keywords. 

Last week we were playing a game called tic tac toe on the basketball court.

First we got into teams of 5. My team was yellow. There were 4 teams: yellow, blue, red, and green. For the first round we played the first version. My team won the first round. The first round was easy because we thought of a strategy letting the smartest person last so they know where to move the bibs.

Next we played again but we thought about a strategy. Our strategy was to let the younger people first and the oldest people at the back. For the second round we played the first version again. My team won the second round. The second round was a little easy because our strategy was letting the little person first and the oldest last. 

Lastly we played again but we thought about a different strategy, we also had a police in our team. They can tell us where to put the bibs. For the last round we played the second version. My team lost the last round and came last. The last was a little hard because the other team was faster than us.

We won 2 games and lost 1. I enjoyed playing the game because we had to think about where to put the bibs. It was hard thinking of a strategy because none of my group had ideas.
