Dayton and I were given Cook Island language challenges to complete. We completed two topics, which were food and colours.
First we came up with some Cook Island food. Then we have to find the Cook Island language word for the food. Lastly we had to record ourselves saying the foods in Cook Island language.
I enjoyed learning foods and colours in Cook Island language.

Swimming
Today I practised my water safety skills at the Lagoon Pools.
The first skill I practised was gliding. To glide I needed to push off the platform, face in the water and kick.
Then I practised swimming on my back. To do this I keep my head facing the roof and paddle my feet.
Lastly I practised a dolphin kick. To do this I pusheed and wiggled my body forward and back.
I was getting better at swimming on my back. But I needed to improve on holding my breath for long underwater.
LI. to develop knowledge of water safety.

Figurative language
Figurative language is figuring out the meaning of what the person says.
There are 5 figurative languages.
A Simile is comparing two things together and using "like" or "as"
A Metaphor is also comparing two things but without using "like" or "as"
A Hyperbole is exaggerating and showing strong feeling or effect.
A Understatement is with expression and less strength.
A Personification is giving human traits to objects or ideas.

Ki-o-Rahi
LI. Summarize using visualising and inferencing.
This week we were learning to summarise.
We also needed to link visualisation and inferencing to help us.
We filled in a story web to summarise each part of the story. I used my visualisation from week 1 to help separate the parts of the story. I used my character inference traits to use adjectives and evidence to help summarise different parts.
Using good adjectives unlocks meaningful information, and I can summarise quicker.
Connecting all 3 strategies helped me to understand the story, characters, and keywords.
