KiwiCan

 W.A.L.T write and upload a blog post about our Kiwican lesson.

Today we had Kiwican again, Kiwican had to go because of the Covid-19 outbreak. The word that we are now working on is accountability. What accountability means is to be honest and take responsibility for what we have done. Our new catchphrase is ;We are honest we are true, we take ownership for what we do.We played two games what we played  was: high tide,low tide and the other one was impossible connections how you play impossible connections is somebody will play some music and you have to dance as soon as the music stops, you have to stop, look and listen to your instructions for example; four, elbows this means you have to get into a group of four and touch elbows with each other another example is ten, feet this mean a group of ten and you have to be touching feet. Here are a few photos:

 

What I enjoyed was playing impossible connections because it was funny watching every one dance.

What I found challenging was playing high tide low tide because I wasn't fast enough.

Have you played any of these games?

Reading task

I.A.L.T upload a task from either this week or last week.

Today our reading task was to make up 10 true and false statements about the book called reckless. Here are what my statements were;

1. Kane didn't take the long way home. (false)

2. There was about 5000 dinghies in the bay. (false)

3. Kane is not a person to be worried. (false)

4. Kane has been in uncle Max's tinny before. (true)

5. There was a child's scream in the bay. (true)

6. Kane didn't even think about a life jacket he thought he was too old for them. (false)

7. The family got out of the water safely. (true)

8. When Kane got home his dad was sleeping on the floor in his pyjamas. (false)

9. His father really listened and understood Kane. (false)

10. His dad showed Kane the report and it was about cows. (false)

Reflection.

What I did well was think of false questions because we were supposed to do 5 each but I did 7 false and 3 true...

What I enjoyed was reading a new book because it is interesting.

What I could improve on is thinking of less false questions and more true.

Have you done a reflection before?

How to make your very own geometric art.

 I.A.L.T upload a blog post about our art and write about it.

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on some geometric art. The art below is not mine because I have not finished yet, here are the steps.

-First you chose the shape that you desire.

-Then you have to trace/draw the outline of your animal on an A4 or A3 piece of paper.

-Next you make all of the curved lines into edged straight lines with a ruler.

-After that you fill in the inside of the animal with different geometric shapes.

-Finally you can think/start filling in the shapes with patterns,paint,dye,colouring pencils or any other things you want!

When you are done your object/animal should look a little like this.

 

Have you ever done geometric art?

Commas

 W.A.L.T upload our writing task and write about it.

Last week we had to learn about commas. We did a couple of lessons about commas to learn about how to use them and where to put them. After those few little lessons, we got given a task to make either a poster or animation with a buddy or two to teach children where to use them. I choose to make an animation with Peyton and Anika here is our animation.

What I enjoyed was adding in Squidward because he looks funny.

What I did well was add in some humour to make it more interesting because normal is boring.

What I could improve on is adding more places that you can put commas in.

Do you like our animation?

Thought message

 I.A.L.T upload a  finished task from this week.

Today for our reading task, my group and I had to make a thought message about what it would be like if we were students from the future and time travelled back to the present. First we had to read the book. Next we went onto the google drawing and customised the background.Then we wrote a quick little fictional story/letter about what it is like in 2020. This is my message.

 

I enjoyed spelling the sports wrong on purpose because it looks funny.

What I did well was the background because I think the colours blend well.

I could improve on making it more descriptive.

What do you think it would be like in the future?

A.L.I.M drawing task

W.A.L.T upload a blog post of one of our learning tasks from this week.

This week at A.L.I.M learning time one of my tasks were drawing so this is what I did.

The first thing I did was draw the mountains. Next I drew the snow on the top and shaded it. After that I did the rocky stuff.Then I added in the clouds, river and grass.

Reflection:

What did I enjoy? 

I enjoyed shading and blending the snow because it was fun getting my fingers messy.

What did I find challenging?

What I found challenging was drawing all of the grass because my hand got sore from doing each little strand.

What should I draw next?

Kiwi Can

W.A.L.T upload a blog post about when we went to kiwi can

Today for our warm up we played stop, walk, clap and jump which was funny to watch when I was out.

Next we played Red light Green light (it's a bit like sneak up on granny).

Finally we did an activity which was, you got into a group of 3-4 and got given a piece of paper by kiwi can. My group did Bad choices and you had to write at least 20 bad choices to make.

What I enjoyed was playing stop, walk, clap and jump because it was really enjoyable.

What I found challenging was to think of heaps of bad choices.

Have you played one of these games before?
