HPE | Table Tennis

We practised the techniques of table tennis.

The first skill we learnt was holding the bat. first you have to be like hand shaking the bat and making a gun sign with your index finger and your thumb. 

After we learnt the forehand and the backhand. The forehand is facing your thumb to the ceiling and your index is facing to the ground. The backhand is the same thing but facing your thumb to the ground and your index figner to the ceiling.

Afterwards we did 2 competitions. The first was trying to get the most hits with the forehand skill, the second one was trying to get the most hits with the backhand skill.

Then we played a few games against each other. There was two players, they were the challenger and the champion. The challenger would always serve first and try and get it over the net.

Then we practised how to serve the ball. You have to drop the ball, then hit the ball over the net then the other person has to try and return the ball back to you without missing it or hitting the net.

I enjoyed this task because I kept on getting champion more than challenger.

Apples

I wrote down three introduction sentences.

My first introduction sentence is a basic fact. A fact is something that is true. Apples are a type of fruit that contain seeds in them. To grow they need sunlight, a good amout of water and a pot

My second introduction sentence is a question hook. A question hook is trying to hook the reader to reading your work. Did you know that apples are an edible fruit which contains a high amount of vitamin C ? They need a pot, seeds, sunlight and water.

My last introduction sentence is a explain emotion. An explain emotion is trying to get the reader an emotional feeling when reading. Apples are a type of fruit which is a yummy juicy treat that everyone likes. To grow it you need sunlight, water, some seeds and a pot to put them in.

Units of Measurement

I measured three objects using one of the units of measuement. There are four units of measurements which are millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres.

The first object I estimated was a box. I measured the height, width and length of the box. Then I measured the actual height, width and length with a ruler.

The next object I estimated was a container. Next I measured the actual height, width and length of the container to see the right measurement.

The last object I estimated was another container. I measured the actual height, width and length of the container for the right measurement.

I enjoyed this task because my estimations were very close to the actual measurement.

Chronology and Skimming & Scanning

We learnt about chronology.

Chronology means an order in time that event happened. We used the same learning skill called skimming and scanning. Skimming is being like an aeroplane and skipping through the text.

Scanning is being like a helicopter and stop and look at that specific paragraph or information that you need.

We first went into skimming mode and looked and some pictures to figure out what the book was about. The book was about recycling paper, plastic and metal.

We applied the skimming to find keywords and we used scanning to find facts in chronological order from the text.

This activity was challenging because it was hard to find facts in chronological order.

Party Popper Plan

We were marketing about toys.

Mr Wong told us about his design which was a party popper. Next he told us to plan about the party popper. 

Our market was gamers. First we planned about the parts. The parts is: a plastic cup, elastic band, toothpick, paper and the confetti for the explosion.

Next we updated the designs for our market. We changed the plastic cup to a paper cup, we added more confetti and we left the rest as normal.

Lastly we did the rational. We had to explain about our updated designs and why we chose to leave it as normal or change the design.

I enjoyed this task because I liked planning about the party popper.

Basic Facts Boxes

I completed a basic facts boxes challenge up to 10 addition. Basic facts boxes is a activity where you have to answer the questions in a fast amount of time.

I completed 100/100 correct and my time was...

Next time for my goal is to do up to 20 addition because I already know my 5 addition.

Flip / Reflection is relfecting or flipping a mirror image. 

Rotation / Turn is turning a shape to another angle.

Translate / Slide is moving a shape to any direction.
