We had to make a slide deck talking about enterprise and business. We also had to write down a hundred business, write down what products they sell and the price range they sell it at. Some of the business we wrote down were Mc Donalds, KFC, costa and krispy kreme.

Writing

L.I to revise the structure of a recount and reaffirm the criteria

We revised for our writing next text week. The type of text we are writing is a recount, we were given a fictional scenario. We wrote two recounts, the first recount was about winning lotto and how we were going to spend it and the second recount was about winning a world cup of our choosing. The criteria we got our marks on are Ideas, Structure & language, Organisation, Vocab, Spelling, Punctuation, Sentence structure. I think that I can improve on my ideas and sentence structure.

Reading

L. I to build knowledge on vocabulary, and how it links to the wider world

We did two tasks. The first task we did was take one world and build our understanding on it, we had to write down the functions, associations, similarities&differences and multiple meanings. For the second task, we took a line from one rap lyric or poetic voice and make a quiz. In the quiz we had to choose one of the two choices. Here is one of the lines that we put in our quiz, No matter how hard it gets, Stick your chest out, Keep your head up and handle it.




Maths

L.I to revise your maths skills

We revised our math knowledge doing a quiz on our math books. The things we did were adding and subtracting time, decimals, multiplication (times tables), division (grouping/sharing), calculating area and perimeter, fractions (identifying fraction, fractions of sets) Some of the strategies we used were basic facts, tidy numbers, place value, repeated addition, rounding& compensating, written algorithm and reversing. Reversing is for example when you take a subtraction problem like 35-23=? and turn it in to an addition problem like 23+? =35 which is 12.

Maori

L.I to learn Te Reo Maori

We had to complete tasks. Our first task was answering questions in Maori like What is your name, what is you grandfather/grandmother and more. The second activity we did was to watch two videos in Maori and then translate the words to English. Our third and final activity was to name some of the Maori gods and what they were the god of like Tane Mahuta, he is the Maori god of the forest.

Kiwi Can

L.I to respect yourself

Our theme this term is respect, and our topic is respecting yourself. Respect means treating people the way you want to be treated. First we had our energizer, it was called Banana, Apple and Orange. The Kiwi Can leaders called out one of these fruits, each of the fruits had a instructors. Apple was to jump forward, Orange was to jump backwards and Banana was to turn 180 degrees.

After that we talked about how we could respect ourselves. Some of the ways are by brushing your teeth, taking a shower and more. Later on we it was activity time, the activity we played was called one truth and one lie. In this game we had to tell one truth and one lie about ourselves.
