Athletics

Today was Athletics day. Students from Tamaki College helped make the activity's easy to understand. Each student was put into their own color group there was yellow, green, blue and red. I was in red in group A. Green came first for group A my group came second. For group B yellow came first. Even though red didn't come first we used our collaborative skills to work as a team and win three activity's out of the all seven. At the end we did our sprints. I helped out by showing the young students which lane they would go to. Athletics was a really fun way for students to use team work skills and sportsmanship to create new relationships. I would like to thank Mr Ogilve for making everything happen.   

ReadTheory Report

Today my class created a graph that shows their grades over the year. I found this interesting because I could see how I have been progressing over the year. At the start of the year to my current grade I have really improved. In February I was on grade four then in July I was on grade six. My currant grade is seven. 

Meerkats

As it is book week my class has learnt about a book about Meerkats the author for this book is Emily Gravett. After reading about this we created a DLO that shows some facts about Meerkats.

Wolves - Myths and Facts

My class has done a fun activity as it is book week. Our teacher Mrs Anderson read us a book called "Wolves" the author for this book is Emily Gravett. Mrs Anderson has read my class three books of Emily Gravett and I really like how Emily has illustrated her book and the vocabulary that she has used.

Book Bar Graph - What Makes a Book Boring

This week is book week so my class decided to do a fun activity. For this activity we got into groups of three. In my group were Brooklyn, Joshua V and I. In our class there were two papers on each table that had questions about books. Each group got moved to one table we had two minutes to answer the question after the two minutes we rotated around to another question. After answering all the questions we each chose a question that we would make a bar graph. I chose, What Makes a Book Boring? I chose this question because it had some interesting answers. When I had finish gathering the answers I created a bar graph. I found out that most students mostly focus on the pictures and the vocabulary because this will hook them into reading the book.   

Armistice Commemoration

Today we had a special guest from the New Zealand Defense Force. To show our appreciation for all those who have passed for our country each class signed their names or wrote a message on a back of the poppy as well as the teachers. We sang songs and had one minute of silence to think about the soldiers. Armistice day is a really important day for most of all countries. Each class have also researched and learnt about the WWI. The special guest had come to my class and LS1 to talk to us about his journey throughout his journey.







 

Armistice Collage

The WWI ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day and the 11th month. This collage reflects on the celebrations that were held all over the world as the war finish I have also added some head lines of articles. A lot of people celebrated even royal family's and soldiers as the WWI had finally finish. Each student from my class has created a collage. 

Collaborative Comprehension

My class all did this task in groups of two or three. I worked collaboratively with Brooklyn and Nickaela.  Our task was to first read the text about the battle of the Battle of the Somme. After reading the whole text. We then read the questions then answered them. Before we answered the questions we made sure that each of us knew that the question was asking us.
