Summarising – Rahi and the Patupaiarehe

I learnt how to summarise by reading Rahi and the Patupaiarehe.

First we went onto the cultural stories list to read the story. The story is about Rahi and Ti Ara. Ti Ara goes to a forest and gets lifted by a Patupaiarehe.

Next we wrote down the 20 most important words. The first 3 important words are Patupaiarehe, Rahi and Ti Ara.

Lastly we wrote down the 6 most improtant words from the 20 important words. We also summed up the story in a few sentences. The 6 words are Rahi, Ti ara, Froze, Moa, Patupaiarehe and Taniwha.

I liked learning how to summarise by reading Rahi and the Patupaiarehe. I was good at writing down some important words. I need to improve on adding more important words.

Unit Fractions

I learnt about unit fractions.

First I learnt what unit means. I learnt that unit means ‘1’. In math words unit means the one piece of the fraction.

Next we took three photos of a laminated piece of paper. It was what we had to work on. The three photos are the before, after and the fractions from biggest to smallest.

Lastly we made the fractions go from biggest to smallest. The biggest is 1/2 and the smallest is 1/10. It isn’t the bigger number that makes it bigger. It’s the size that makes it bigger.

I liked learning about unit fractions. I was good at naming the fractions from biggest to smallest. I need to improve on saying one quater not one fourth.

Netball Skills

I learned how to pass, catch and shoot in Netball.

First we practiced by playing a game where we pass to each other. We learnt that when passing we can’t move and when we are shooting it is the same.

Next we played a small game of netball. There were two defenders and two shooters. I got to be a defender but I didn’t do good. The defender protects the ball from being passed or shot. We also learnt that the defender doesn’t shoot.

Lastly we played a game of dodgeball. This was my favourite part because I love dodging and dodgeball.

I liked learning about some Netball skills. I was good at catching. I need to improve on passing.

Witi Ihimaera

I completed a Te Reo task about Witi Ihimaera.

First I read the questions we had to answer.

Next I added the main stuff for the DLO. I chose a nice font.

Lastly I added Witi Ihimaera and traced his image.

I liked doing the Te Reo task. I was good at tracing his image. I need to improve on not making it too fancy.

Eating Times

There are two types of eating. They are manners and cleanliness.

Some manners would be eating with our mouth closed and don’t speak when food is in your mouth.

Another manner would be saying thank you when you are given the food. This is under manners because it may help the people who made the food make more.

The second type is cleanliness. To be clean when eating you could eat slowly, eat over the tray and walk slowly when putting rubbish in the rubbish bin. The reason to walk slowly to the bin is because there might still be some stuff in your lunchbox or what you were eating with.

How to Write a Blog Post

Blog Posts make people be able to share their work online.

Blog posts have been used for many other reasons. Some blogs say what they did today. A blog must have a title, the blog, a DLO/image and a label.

There are different types of blogs. Some of them are explanations, information reports, recounts and informative recounts. Either way they still have to same things. Most of those blog types don’t use the word ‘I’ or ‘we’. This is because it’s not about you in the blog. It’s either explaining how to do something or how something works.

Blogs have helped people share their work online.

Comading Conversation

I completed a task called Commanding Conversation.

First I chose an image. I chose the seal image.

Next I wrote the conversation. This was my favourite part.

Lastly I added the names. The names were me and Semi.

I liked doing Commanding Conversation. I was good at choosing an image. I need to improve on choosing harder images.

How to Get to One Place to Another

How to get to one place to another. It is quite simple but I will tell you how to.

  1.  Choose where you want to go to. You can use google maps or if there is something at the location use a compass.
  2.  Figure out how many steps it takes to get there. After this write down the angles that you will need for a turn. The basic turns are 0 (360), 90, 180 and 270. You can use a protractor, words, angles and degrees.
  3.  Figure out the left and right. After that you will have to use degrees to figure out the in-between angles if there are any.

I hope this helped you on how to get to one place to another.

Summarising

I learnt about summarising by reading The Lion and the Mouse.

The book is about a lion that is taking a nap. A mouse comes along and runs across his nose. The lion grabs him and the mouse said “Please let me go. I will repay you.” The lion let him go and the mouse ran away. The lion gets caught and the mouse helped him. The mouse said “You laughed when I said I would repay you.”

I enjoyed this because I like Aesop’s Fables because it’s short, simple and interesting. I was good at reading the book. I need to improve on my summarising.

Te Reo | Sir Apirana Ngata

For Te Reo I learnt about Sir Apirana Ngata.

First I read about him on the Te Reo blog. It was very interesting.

Next I made a DLO on him. My favourite part is the line at the top of the DLO.

Lastly I drew him. This is my second favourite part of the DLO. An interesting fact I learnt is that he is now on the $50 note.

I liked learning about Sir Apirana Ngata. I was good at making him. I need to improve on adding my own information.
