Music

This is my collage about music. At music we learnt how to play a song, we were learning altogether but Mrs Anderson had an idea. Mrs Anderson said to get into two groups and practice together. When we did it in time we did it in time, Mrs Anderson said to join another group and then practice to see if we can do it at the same time. After that we were all ready to do it altogether so we played altogether and we all did it at the same time.

Tables Grab

This is a maths game called tables grab on transum maths. I did this with john. We were working on our 12 times tables. John got 2 points and I got 10 point so that means I won by 8 points. 

Basketball

Today Rm 5 had basketball today. Coach  Mark and Millie taught us a bunch of skills and tips to  use while play

ing basket ball, here are all the skills and tips. First is the pivot, the pivot is when you can take two steps and the first step you take you can't let it move up when your other foot comes down, and you can twist around to avoid getting the ball taken of of you. But you still have to keep your first foot on the ground. Stance is when you sit down in the air like you are sitting on a chair and put your hands up below your chin. Next we practiced dribbling, dribbling is just bouncing with your finger tips and dribbling in front of you. We also learnt how to cup the ball.

Maths Problem DLO

Halatoa ate twice as many pancakes as Sebastian at lunchtime. Sebastian had another 3 pancakes for afternoon tea. Altogether they ate 18 pancakes. How many pancakes did Halatoa eat?

There are 18 pancakes.

So since Halatoa has twice as much as Sebastian,  Sebastisn gets 5 and Halatoa gets 10.

10+5=15

Sebastian also eats another 3.

15+3=18

so that means Halatoa ate 10 pancakes and Sebastian ate 8 pancakes

Ukulele DLO

These are pictures of me at Ukulele. Rm 5 went down to the music room and Fine and Yvette taught us some ukulele songs. Fine and Yvette were teaching our class because Mrs Eeles was still i little bit ill. We learnt how to play Islands and kiwi ukulele. 

Shake out DLO

This is my shake out DLO. This DLO talks about how to keep safe in earthquakes. It also talks about what to do when a earthquake happens outside or inside. I worked on this DLO with Manu and Dontalian.

Swap in pairs

Today in writing we did a story swap in pairs to write recount that made sense. We had to write a sentence each and it was a bit challenging. We weren't allowed to speak so it was difficult to talk to my partner. My partner was San Tat. I learned that if you re-read your story again you can find mistakes and fix them.

I was walking down the road to go to my great aunt's grave. I felt like something was watching me. I saw old house sitting on top of a lumpy hill. So i went closer to the house as i see the house getting larger and larger.I open the door and every step i took i could her a creaking noises beneath me. I hear creepy footsteps behind me, and i see stairs so i quickly run up the stairs and see a long hallway. All of a sudden the lights start’s flickering on and of. I see this mysterious room with a big closet just sitting in the middle of the room. I went into the room to see what was inside. I opened it and one big giant ghost was staring at me. It did not hurt me it did not harm me. I recognized this face somewhere. Then i got a big shock and realized it was my great aunty. I had so many questions to ask her but as i blinked my eyes she disappeared.

Multiplication challenge

Today room 5 did a maths challenge  called the multiplication challenge. We got a piece of paper and dice to share between our two partners and the paper's had grid lines on them. Our task was to roll the dice and and if it lands on a 5 and a 4 it would be 5x4 and we have to draw 5 boxes down and 4 boxes across or 5 boxes across and 4 boxes down. This is a fun game that makes you think about and learn your times tables. This game also helps you with you measurement.

Holiday Reading Challenge: Make a Recommendation

Make a Recommendation

Title: Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge

Author: Dav Pilkey

Type of book: Fiction

I would recommend this book to people 8+ because it is about two kids making their own comics which comes to life. One of their worst teachers become one of their comic superhero. This book has a lot of action and is really funny. At the start there were two guys named George and Harold who decided to make their own comics. They hypnotized their teacher and told him to act like the superhero in their comic. They snapped their finger and their teacher thought he was Captain Underpants. They found a UFO and there was this super juice which made people get powers. He drank the super drink and got super powers. After that he fights crime and saves people.The only way to get back to normal is to get knocked out. But the only thing is when someone snaps their finger he will turn back into Captain Underpants. I recommend this book to people who love action and comedy.
