Term 2 Reflection

 

I enjoyed learning about recycling because I now know how to recycle my waste and what I can and what I can't recycle. I know now what the numbers on some products mean so I can now recycle my rubbish in the right bin. I am very excited for next term because I can't wait to learn new things.

Tamaki Wrap

Today Magenta and I have been doing this Google Slide about Tamaki wrap and facts about how and what Tamaki wrap does. What we did was we got to do 4 actives and even got to answer 4 questions. The thing I liked about Tamaki wrap was the different fun activity's that we did.

Legend Of The Seven Sisters

Today I finished the last DLO that we had to create the legend of the seven sisters. This DLO shows How many sisters are there?, What are their names, Who do they visit?, Why do they visit?. In this activity I worked with Shakaia, and Viva.

The Winter Solstice

Today we are finishing off the 3 Matariki DLO's that we started last week. This is the second DLO that we had to created. This DLO is about the winter solstice and is also about the Earth, Moon, and Sun.

Week 9 Dance

This morning I was working with Shakaia and Sky to put our dance and the dance that inspired us on one google slide presentation. The thing that I found hard was trying to be in sync with the other and trying not to laugh a lot. What I found easy was co-operating with each other and trying new ways to make our dance look good. 

Tongan New Years

On Monday we started doing a Matariki study and we had to do 3 different tasks. This is the first task, for this task we had to create a DLO that shows How do different cultures celebrate the winter solstice?.

Dance Week 8 - Movie Evaluation

Mrs Anderson filmed this video so we could see what we had to work on in our dance. This really helped my group because we wanted to make our dance perfect. After seeing this video my group had to make sure that we face the audience and make sure our moves more sharp. The people in my group are Savelina, Sky, and Shakaia. I hope you enjoy watching our film about our dance.

Recycling Summary

Today in reading we created a DLO with Mrs Anderson. We had to make a summary about the book that we read. The book that we read is called Eco-Rangers save the planet, the illustration is Maria Gill. The people that were in my group was Mishaan, Javeylor, and Sa Kae. I hope that you enjoyed reading our summary about recycling.

Week 6 Dance

In dance we first did warm ups to stretch our muscles. Then we did mirror dancing with our partner. I learnt how to do some shapes connecting to my partner. My partner for this weeks dance lesson was Savelina. I also learnt that when you mirror dance you have to pick the right song that sicks with our music.

Kilikiti

Fractions

On Monday we started learning about fractions. Since it is samoan language week Mrs Anderson decided to do a maths question that has something to do with samoa. This DLO that I have created is about fractions. If you want to see how we solved the question about the ula lole read my DLO because it explains what we did. I hope you enjoy reading my DLO about our strategy that we used.

Times tables warm-ups

Today we used the game 
"Hit the button" to help us recall our 4x answers quickly. I found it hard to find the question so I will be practicing this in my own time.

Week 4 Tech

Today in tech we started our second rotation of the year 2017. Last week we were in cooking but now we are in graphics with Mrs Ferguson. In graphics we are making clocks. But first we had to make a collage about ourselves and what we like. I like lots of things so I found it hard to choose what I should put on my DLO. After we had finished making our collages about our self we had to create a DLO and find images of clocks. We were only allowed to put transparent photo's on the DLO. To get the photo onto the DLO we had to drag the photo onto the drawing. Once we had finished the DLO of the clocks it was time to leave so we all packed up and we went back to the bus to go school.

Week 3 Dance

Today in dance we had to get into our groups from last week and practice the exercises that we created last week. After we had finished doing our warm ups we all had to do Ofa's and Josh's warm up . When we finished Ofa and Josh's warm up we had to get back into our groups and try to make a triangle, square, and a circle shape with any body part. It was really hard to make the shapes because we all had different ideas but we combined our ideas to make one dance that we all liked. Today in dance we learned the difference and the meaning between a free flow dance and a bound flow dance. The people in my group were Sakae and Zahra. This week Mrs Anderson was our dance teacher.

World Of Maths

Yesterday at school after lunch we went to the hall and Mrs A put us into groups with LS1. When we were all in our groups Mrs A, Mr Ogilvie, and Charles sent all the groups to different tables. Charles is the man who works for world of maths. The First table that my group went to was Off the Islands. The people in my group were Sakae, Sila, Giovanni, and Zane. My favorite activity out of all the maths rotations was the first activity that we did called Off the islands. I liked this activity because it was really hard at first but once you really think about it you will finally get it. While we were working out the problems we had to also think about key composites. We also had to work together as a team and collaborate with each other. 

Simile 2

Today for Writing we had to create a DLO and match the sentences so they make scene. This is my language feature DLO for week 3.

Taekwondo

Yesterday in LS2 we started our kiwi sport. Our kiwi sport for this term is Taekwondo. Our instructors name is Steven. We learnt to punch and kick  really fast. We had to react fast to do what Steven said. It was really fun and at the end of the lesson we were all sweating. I hope the next eight weeks of Taekwondo will be really awesome.

Dance in LS2

In the morning and middle block we did dance.  In dance Mrs Anderson said we had to create our own warm up routine. My partners were Sa kae and Zahra we watched warm up videos to get some inspiration. Making up the moves was easy but doing them was really hard. Warming up and stretching before you have a sports event it can help you move a lot easier, but if you warm up and stretch to much you will lose some of your strength to do something. This was a very fun task to complete and I cant wait till next week.

NZ Rubbish

For inquiry this term we are learning about how we can look after our planet earth by using reduce, reuse and recycle. We found out that a report says New Zealander's are really bad at recycling. Also every year New Zealander's throw away 3.6 million tonnes of rubbish each year. We looked at two articles about what we should do to solve our waste problem. Then we made our own opinion. I agreed with article two.

Ivory Banning In China

This current events DLO shows my research and opinion on the ivory ban in China. This DLO that I have created is to tell you; when it happened?, Where it happened?, Who is doing it?, What are they doing?, Why are they doing it?, and how are they doing it?. It also shows you 2 opinions and my opinion. Then we have to answer the 2 questions what do you think these authors wanted you to learn from these articles? and how do you feel after reading this information?.
