I read 26 pages of the book called: Players and skills written by Jon Richards.

First I read the book about Rugby players and skills.

Next I searched in the book to find 3 facts about the book.

Afterwards I searched for 3 words that I don't know and wrote down the meaning.

I like the way the author talks about skills and what it is used for.

America's cup

I learnt about the America's cup. I found information then I summarized the text, and evaluated the information.

First I read information about the America's cup and to find information for the who, what, where, when, and why.

Next I summarized the main ideas and chose 20 important words. Next I chose 6 most important words out of the 20 and summarized using the six words.

Afterwards I evaluated and wrote down what the text was about and wrote down interesting facts about the America’s cup. After I wrote down questions about the America’s cup.

I think using these strategies can be helpful when doing other work.

 

The Highway Rat

The visualisation strategy is trying to get a picture in your head. 

The story was about a highway rat who was a bad person who was stealing all the other animals food.

My visualisation is different to another persons picture because we all have different drawings. It is important because I am able to tell the story by looking at the pictures.

 

AFL | Week 2

We learnt two new skills from our coach named Andre. They were called a tackle and a ruck.

The first skill we practised was called: The handball pass. The first step was to make a fist with your most dominant hand that you write with. The next step was to use your least dominant hand and make a dinner plate.The last step was to aim your fist at the x and do a pirate dance. 

The second skill that we practised was called: A drop punt kick. The first step was to make the letter M on the top of the ball, and make sure the laces are not facing your face.

The Next step was to face the ball top to bottom so you can kick the X. The last step is to face your toes to your partner and kick the on the X.

Afterwards, we learnt how to do the two new skills.

The first skill Andre taught us was called: A ruck or a tip off. Their are only two steps. The first step was to throw the ball up in the air. The second step is to try and hit the ball up in the air before your teamate does.

The second skill we learnt was called: tackling. The tackling skill is to aim for the hips. You have to strap your arms around your opponent and tackle them to the ground. The first step was to get on our knee's. The next step is to try and tackle your partner to the grass

The part that I enjoyed the most was trying to hit the teachers because I want to get better at my aiming.

Reading large numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The postition of a digit determins it's value. When we say numbers we group them within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds, and nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronouce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed a basic facts boxes sheet up to 10 on the speed demon challenge. The basic facts boxes objective is to answer the questions rapidly.

I got 100/100 correct. My time was 4 minutes and 19 seconds.

Next time I will do a harder level because this level is too easy.

LI. To recall basic facts fluently and quickly.

Mihi Whakatau

Mihi whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain) , Awa (river) and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.  

Introducing Ingoa (name) , Oku tipuna (ancestored place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitor/s that are being welcomed. 

It is important to end with a warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections.

Fact Find - Kalyn Ponga

I completed a task called fact find. Fact find is finding out facts, media, and photos about a famous person, animal, object, or art.

This fact find was about Kalyn Ponga, a professional Rugby league footballer who plays as a fullback in the Newcaslte Knights in the NRL, Australia.

First I wrote down my introduction about Kalyn Ponga. Next I wrote down 5 facts about him. 

Afterwards I put in some videos and photos. Lastly I put in 3 website links which tells facts and photos about Kalyn Ponga.

One More fact is: He also played for North Queensland Cowboys, and He played in State of Origin for the Queensland Maroons.

I enjoyed this task because I liked learning about people and writing down facts.

Print Design Rules

I learnt about print design rules. They are composition, layout, colour, and text.

First we used the four print design rules to create a good looking poster.

Next I created a margin. Next I put all the text and pictures in the margin so it does not overlap.

Afterwards I used the print design rules to make the poster look good.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to use the print design rules properly.

Treaty of Waitangi

LS1 learnt about the 3 P's in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3 P's in the Treaty of Waitangi. They are: protection, partnership, and participation. Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3 P's in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 P's are all connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statements because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1. I will work on helping other people with there work more often.

Lastly we played two games. The first game was called: Octopus. There were four taggers and they have to tag the people by doing the passing skill. Afterwards we played a game where we have to kick the ball at the teachers and the coach.

I had so much fun learning how to pass and kick, and playing the games.

Cultural Art

I completed my cultural task today and I chose to create my Sydney Funnel web spider online.

I  googled the image of the spider so I can trace it, the next thing I did was I traced the legs using the curve tool, lastly I traced the body of the spider.

The colours I choose for my spider are the hex colours, where you can customise the colours to make it  lighter or darker colour. 

This was an enjoyable task it was cool creating my online spider and colouring it in. It links to me because I was born in sydney.
