My Synonym Wheel

We are learning to create a Synonym wheel that changes boring vocab into exciting words.
I know I can use exciting words because I will use words like phonic and narrated instead of said

AFL.

We are learning to drop punt.

A coach from kiwi Kick came to teach us to play AFL. His name was Jereum. He taught us to drop punt. First we warmed up. We played tiggy. After are warmed up Jereum showed us how to drop punt. He gave us three tips. 1. Laces away from faces 2. face the crosses on the ball up and down 3. Put your hands on the line. We had a try at it. After that we played a game. There were two teams. Each team was on an island. If we drop punt the ball and it land on their island, they get a point. The other team won the 1st game then My team won. It was cool doing AFL.

Cross Hatching.

We are learning to sketch images using pencils.
We were given a 6B pencil. We held the pencil different. We learned how to crosshatch light to dark. We didn't put any pressure when we went lightly but when we made it dark we put pressed the pencil down hard.

Abundance

In Room 5 We are learning to experience the effects of water. In Africa there is a scarcity of water not an abundance of water like in New Zealand. This is my poster to show what abundance means

Baptism Symbols

First I went on Sumo Paint and drew one of the Symbols
of Baptism. Then I wrote what the Symbol was for.

WALT write smart comments on other peoples blogs. A smart comment is a that is specific and positive.



We are creating positive digital footprints when we leave smart comments. We are Cyber smart.

Here is a screenshot of a comment I have left on a blog.

My comment is a smart compliment because I was positive and I made a little connection with the writer

Achieving my Goal.

WALT make goals and achieve it.

My goal for writing is using correct punctuation and remember to use paragraphs.

This is important because sometimes when I write, if I  don't use paragraph all the ideas will be mixed  up and if I don't use punctuation, anyone who reads it will not understand.

The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be......

1. Every time I write I will read my goal before I start writing

2. Keep using paragraphs in all of my writing

3. After I write I will check with a partner.

My goal for Reading  is to read the story and understand it

This is important because after I read my story, the  teacher might ask me a question and I won't know.

1. Read every sentence  slow so I can understand it

2. Use a dictionary  to find a word I don't know  so I could understand the sentence easily

My goal for Maths is to learn  all my 6,7,8,9,12 times table.

This is important because if I don't know  my timetable I won't get 100% in basic facts

The steps I will take to achieve my goal will be......

1. say my timetable every night

2. get a friend to test me

3. write my timetable and memorize it
