Free Rice

Today I played a game named free rice. Free rice is a game that donates rice if you get the answer right to their question. If you get a question wrong it makes you restart with your points of rice you got.

Story cubes/Legend of the beast

​This week I have made up a story with the story cubes can do. My story goes like this. In 1894 on planet earth a alien was struck from the sky and had magic powers. The creature took form of a little boy but had the shadow of his normal self. This creature found a mysterious house and pecked through the key hole. Inside was empty but a strange card that was named after his grandmother. Now its up to you to finish off the story! 

Commenting

This week for  Commenting I commented on a blog post. I have positive words in this post. I enjoy reading blog post as I learn what they learn.

Maori

Kiwi Sport Badminton sessions

Thursday morning Ls1 group (a) went to Badminton. As they arrived to the hall for their first session,They met A man named Kevin. Kevin introduced himself as group (a) Sat back and listened. Group (a) saw a set of rackets and Shuttlecocks waiting on the stage.

After Kevin introduced himself he taught group (a) the basic hand structures. The two names were forward hand and back hand. Then he gave an example of what they look like. All of group (a) were quite familiar with the hand structures although it was very hard to learn them.

Soon it was time for group (b) to meet Kevin. Kevin then greeted group (b) as they entered the hall. Everyone picked out a racket and shuttlecock as Kevin started to teach group (b) the same hand structure that was taught to group (a). Kevin was then done teaching the hand structure.

After he was done teaching and giving examples of how to use a racket and shuttlecock he then gave them challenges. The first challenge was to hit a shuttlecock ten times without making it fall.

Some students from group (b) hit the shuttlecock over ten times.

The Next Challenge was to hit the shuttlecock behind our backs. As the challenges went on it got harder and harder although they only had two challenges so far.

It was past two challenges and so the next challenge was to hit the shuttlecock by putting the racket  through our legs. It was fun but at the same time we all got sweaty and tired.  

After the last challenge we had to play against each other. Everyone had to hit the shuttlecock as many times until they are the last one standing. So whoever drops the shuttlecock they had to sit down. The two last people standing was Mele and Julian. As we played one more time the last people standing where Julian and Jonathan. The two had to verse. As they versed Jonathan dropped the shuttlecock as Julian won!

The winner of the day was Julian because in all the rounds he has been winning. It was moving onto 12:30 which meant group (b) had to go for launch. As they thanked Kevin they all lined up to go back to class.  I think that we group (b) had fun learning Badminton because we all listened as a group! Everyone enjoyed time learning Badminton.

LI: to revise a recount 
Today for writing I practiced writing a recount  in 40 minuets. I practiced using what I need to fix. I had fun writing this recount and I also feel much more confident for when our test comes.

Kiwi Sport

This week for Kiwi Sport we learnt 3 or 4 basic badminton moves. The first one was forward hand and back hand. The easiest one was Forward hand because most of us weren't use to back hand. Before we got challenged by Kevin we played stuck in the mud! It was a fun and slightly different version although everyone enjoyed. As we already did the first basic move we moved on to the second move. The second move was ten times harder than the third move because what we had to do was hit the shuttlecock ten times behind our back. The third move was put the racket under then out your legs while hitting the shuttlecock. At the end of our lesson we all challenged each other to who hits the shuttlecock longest. Meaning whoever drops their shuttlecock has to sit down while the rest of the players play on. We played this game 2 times as a boy named Julian won all 2 times. The third play of was against Jonathan and Julian... The winner was Julian again! We all had fun even if it was very hard!

Revised Recount

LI: to revise recount writing
This week for writing I edited my first recount about PBS 60th anniversary celebration. We had got given 40 minuets to complete our Recount. On my first Recount I only had two paragraphs but luckily I got some feedback from Mr Ogelvie witch helped me think about what I needed to do fix when it comes for our test.
I think that my edited writing was ten times better than my non edited work.

Production Recount

It was Term 3 and Pbs was getting ready for a big show. The show was based on dances. Each class got taught a dance from our dance teacher,Zoe. Most of the songs we danced to was hip hop. Especially my class. Our performance was typically a dance battle. The Songs were like a remix of what we had to dance to. It was very easy for our class because we have been giving some of our work time just to learn our dances. It was a really rough time trying to dance while getting our work done in time. It was very hard although maybe half of the class got their work done before friday.

Three people in our class including me equals four had pacifica straight after we finished our dance! Luckily our teachers found a way to do our dance and get ready in time for our Pacifica dance. For our Pacifica dance the girls wore a ilander dress,the boys wore a samoan lava lava.

Our rhythm of beat was from a drum. After the pacifica group was done we thanked everyone who came and took a bow to all the parents who came to watch us all  dance. Everyone in our school who participated in  to the dance lessons. It was very fun watching other classes perform and

Also the Pacifica and Kapa haka. ( Non edited recount )

Pbs Celebration of 60th Anniversary

Last week was the 2017 Pbs students and Staff Members 60th anniversary!  A letter was sent out to all students. Before the letters were sent out Staff Members had a brilliant idea for Pbs students 60th anniversary celebration. It was loud and clear that a Dance production was picked. I think it was a great idea because it showed of how bliss our dances where.  

Before Lunchtime LS1 split into five dance groups. Three groups stayed back as two groups went to the hall. As we arrived in the hall

We met our first ever dance teacher. Her name was Zoey.  She taught the first group Gangnam style while the other group Single ladies watched. Most of Gangnam style moves were identical to the dancers in the dances of the official song. After their Dance lesson it was time for the Single ladies group. Most of our dance actions were made by zoey. Then one part of the dance was from beyonce!

When Single ladies and Gangnam style was done they got told their next practise was  2 weeks time and the Three groups that stayed back had One week till their first dance lesson.The three groups name was Dougie,Whip nae nae and Harlem shake. The first group to practise was Whip nae nae. Their dance was fun moves from zoey and the dance itself. Harlem shake was the same for the actual dance. Last of all was Dougie. Dougie had great moves all from Zoey.

Since all five groups practise 2 weeks after their first practise,Mr Wong recorded all group lessons so we can practise more than Once a week. Now that our dances were recorded , we then gave up work time to practise our dances Separately.  It was very hard for us to practise in our learning time although most people completed all nine tasks.

Days after our practise,Our dance teacher put our groups dances together. We started to practise together as the teachers recorded.

As soon as everyone knew their dances we had to do some run throughs so teachers will know how it goes on the two nights of performance.

After our first day of school run throughs Mrs Burke gave 4 groups their clothes they will wear on the night. Harlem Shake was picked to dance in uniform. Most groups got picked randomly for what they have to wear. Douggie and Whip nae nae was chosen to provide their own clothes. Their clothes had to be Street clothes because of their dance and song they are dancing to.   

Everyone knew what to wear. So then Pbs had a run through with their dance clothes on. I think that Pbs danced ten times better then when we had to wear uniform.

It then was time for the first night of the production night. Everyone was nervous and excited. The first dances on was the junior classes.

Then it went on to the seniors. After the second to last dance it was time for Ls1 to show off their moves. Also after Ls1 had their dance it was time for Pacifica group. Three or four people were in Pacifica so they had to rush!

It was then the end of our first Production night. I had fun dancing because I knew all the dance moves and all my friends were involved. ( edited Recount! )

Maths Fraction

LI: To add and Subtract fractions of the same unit size. LI: To identify many different ways to show how fractions are done. This week for maths I learnt what equivalent fraction means. Here is what I learnt so far... So what I had to do was to use any fraction that will equal the same. Here on this google drawing I have examples on what it should look like. Down below I have answered
Subtraction and Addition fraction problems.
I learnt by using multiplication. For the first problem I have I multiplied the denominator because they are different. It both equals to eight. Then I multiplied the numerator the same as the denominator. For the subtraction was the same way as addition but subtracting instead.
