For this activity we made our optical illusions.
I watched a video on how to draw a optical illusion.
My shape I used for my optical illusion was a triangle. How I made my optical illusion is that I made ten straight lines. After drawing the ten lines I shaded the lines.
I think this is my favourite task lately.
For the summer learning journey we did a activity called fishy false teeth.
First we watched a video. After read an article about two friends on a boat talking to each other. I made a comic strip about two friends having a conversation over who can fish.
I enjoyed making the comic strip because I got to choose what they said.
This second teaser task was called "Scavenger Hunt." We watched Nanogirls video and she said that we had to find the materials around our home or our class.
First, I watched Nanogirl's video and she said to find the equipment she had in your house or in the classroom.
Afterwards, we went to go and find the materials Nanogirl had said. We only got got some of the materials and they were a plastic cup, a plastic spoon, a coca cola can, a tin, a thick box, a piece of paper, string, and tin foil.
I enjoyed this task because I liked exploring the class and finding stuff.
Commanding conversations is a can-do when people practise writing their own conversations. We used this to practise how to use punctuation marks and using descriptive speech.
I wrote one conversation witch is about a mum telling her daughter to wear a mask.
Commanding conversation is a good way for me to practice how to write sentences with punctuation marks.
Comprehension strategies help people understand and learn more about what’s happening in the text or book.
Predicting and questioning can be used before reading, so people can guess what's going to happen next.
Prior knowledge and inferring can be used during reading. Prior knowledge is using your knowledge of the text to help predicting what's going to happen in the text.
Summarising and making connections can be used after reading so people can see if they understood the whole story.
Knowing how to use the comprehension strategies is important so people can use it during reading.
LI.to test grammar knowledge.
This week I completed my first activity for the summer learning Journey.
This week we watched a kapa haka group perform for the school.
The first thing that happened was that they did an entrance ceremony and then started to perform. When they entered they used a conch to let the people know they are coming. Then they introduce their weapons and tools during a song and dance.
The last thing LS1 did was play a Maori game called Maui and Matua with Matua Ngarimu. We used the rakau's and we would have to move to the left if they said Maui but if they say Matau we would move right.
We thanked the kapa haka group by the boys from our kapa haka group performing the haka.
I enjoyed watching this kapa haka performance. My favourite part was when they showed different moves for the Rakau.
A three man settle is basically the same thing. First I need to take the touch. Then I plant the ball. After planting the ball the dummy half quickly picks up the ball and passes it to the player that is next to him.
Then we played a game of touch. The aim of this game is to practise how to play touch, also using two and three man settle.
I really enjoyed using using three and two man settles in a game of attacking and defending. One thing I think I could work on is getting everyone involved in the game and moving straight forward to score a try.
This week I read a book called Tongan hero. Tongan hero is about Tongan people that are famous.
The best part of the book is about the schools because it show lots of information about what they do and other stuff.
I enjoyed this book because it was about my country
L.I To learn how to summarise a book or a text.
Today I matched English names with Maori names.
Ko John taku ingoa My name is John
Emergency Shelters are used to protect people from disasters. Disaster like earthquakes, storms, rain and volcanic eruptions.
An Emergency Shelter needs the correct material. Concrete is the strongest material for storm protection because when a thunderstorm strikes concrete nothing will happen.
The materials that were picked were concrete because it is good for storm protection because when the storm hits it won't fall.
Wool was picked because it can keep things warm.
Wood was picked because it can protect the roof from falling.
Today I completed my basic fact boxes. I did subtraction. The aim of this game is to get quick at answering basic fact questions. I answered the equations in 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Next time I I could probably beat my time.
Today I decided to comment on Texas reading blog post. Thread means having a conversation.
My question was "what was your favourite part about the story?".
Storyboards are pictures that show characters, the movements of the characters and the camera angles.
When writing a storyboard the images should have enough detail so the reader can know where the setting is without telling people where it is. Some people film it on different angles and show the emotions on the characters face to make it more interesting.
There are no words in the image because the main ideas is to show the setting, the angles of the camera and the characters.
Knowing how to write a storyboard is important because it can help actors understand it flows. Storyboards help people visualise the people's surroundings and environment.
LI:To create a storyboard from a narrative
Today at Touch Rugby we learned two basic skills. Their called two man settle and three man settle.
A two man settle is when I have the ball and my other friend is dummy half. A dummy half is the person that is picks up the ball. First I need to run to the defender that's gonna touch me. After taking the touch I need to plant the ball so my friend can take the ball and pass it to me again.
A three man settle is basically the same thing. First I need to take the touch. Then I plant the ball. After planting the ball the dummy half quickly picks up the ball and passes it to the player that is next to him.
Then we played a game of touch. The aim of this game was to use three man settle and two man settle, two man settle and three man settle helps gaining meters.
I found it easy because I already knew two of the skills.
Today I completed a task called Auckland Volcanoes. This task was about matching
First Whaea Odie gathered us in groups to learn how to say thing in Maori. For example listen-Whakarongo and more.
Next we did a activity called Auckland Valcanoes. This task was about the Valcanoes in Auckland like, Mt Wellington, One tree hill and more.
Lastly we did a activity sheet called the weather. For example sunny means kua whiti te ra, and cloudy would be He kapua.
I liked our session of Maori because I learnt lots of new Maori words.
L.I To learn Volcanoes names.

The best part of the book is the Tongan king because it has lots of fact about him.
I enjoyed this book because it was about my country
L.I To learn how to summarise a book or a text.
A fraction is a whole thing cut into equal pieces.
For example I had one whole pizza. I shared it with my friend. First I cut the pizza it into halves, after cutting it into halves you cut it again into halves sideways and that would be quarters. So then my friend and me get two equal pieces of pizza.
For some more examples look at the photos below.
L.I To identify fractions.
LI: to identify fractions.
On Wednesday different kinds of Manaiakalani schools went to the film festival that was held in Hoyts in Sylvia Park.
Our film was about sanitising. Most films about covid were about five meter distancing and spreading the disease.
My favourite movie was Glenn Innes's compliment project. I really enjoyed it because in this movie they were showing respect after bullying the kid.
Screenplays are scripts that are converted into speaking parts only.
The actors line is centre aligned under their name. The lines don't need speech marks because it could help what tone to use.
A screenplay scene number should be in all caps. The name also should be in caps and centre aligned.
Knowing how to write a screenplay is important because actors understand how to say their lines and what their lines are.
LI:To convert a story into a screenplay/script
Today I completed my basic fact boxes. I did multiplication. The aim of this game is to get quick at answering basic fact questions. I answered the equations in 5 minutes and 36 seconds. Next time I could probably beat my time that I got.

This week for Maori we learned about Maori names, a lot of them sound like their English names.
The blue text means its a boys name in Maori. The black text means its a girl in Maori. We had a list of names to work with and we also searched in the Maori Dictionary to find the name in EnglishOn Wednesday some people from LS1 and LS2 went to Dunkirk Reserve for a friendly touch rugby tournament. Competition was split into Y5, Y6, Y7, and Y8 different year groups.

L.I: To learn the basics of Touch Rugby
A fraction is a whole thing that is cut into equal pieces.
Halves is a whole thing cut into two equal pieces.
A quarter is a whole thing cut into four equal pieces.
The easiest half in fractions is one half.
L.I To define fractions.
This week for maths we did division maths problems but we moved on to 3 groups. For example I had 12 beans and I shared them among 3 people so each person gets 4 beans.
First you need to write many objects you have.
Then you have to write who your sharing it with.
This week for Maori we learnt how to say different kinds of Maori words.
First we got answered, 'He aha te ra?,' 'He aha te ra', and 'kei te pehea koe'
The first activity was list of Maori words to translate. After we showed our work we highlighted them blue to show that we got them right.

Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby.
First we learned how to tap the ball, catching and passing the ball.
After words we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching.
Our second session of touch rugby was amazing because we learnt lots of new skills.
This week for inquiry my group and I we were doing experiments.
We did this experiment to see how much water would be absorbed by sand, nappies, stones, paper towels, and cotton. The experiment my group did was seeing how much water stones could absorb.
First we needed to gather our materials to start the experiment. Next we measured 100mls of water into a beaker.
Then we poured the 100mls of water into a measuring container.
The results were it didn't absorb much of the water. We only found it absorbed about 4mls.
I enjoined this activity because I learnt lots of new stuff.
This week for Te Reo Maori we learnt how to say different kinds of words in Maori.
The first activity I did was parts of the body. For example waist would be hope. This activity was difficult because there were lots of words that I haven't learnt.
Our other activity was matching stuff into the right place. For example hot would be wera and cold would be makariri. This activity was easy because there were lots of words I knew.
Our first session of te reo was amazing because I learnt lots of new words.
Division is sharing objects among a number of groups. For example someone had 12 beans. Then the person shared them evenly to 4 people. Each person got 3 beans each.
The slide below shows division using counter.
L.I To share objects evenly.
To solve a maths problem that is outside the times tables follow these steps.
The first step is write your own number sentence.
The second step is break up the big number. For example 14=10+4.
The third step is to multiply the smaller number. For example (6x10) (6x4).
The fourth step is to add the number. For example (6 x 10 = 60) (6 x 4 = 24) 60+24=84.
The fifth step is to write the number sentence again but with the answer. For example 6x14=84.
The final step is to write the number sentence again but a word problem. For example Joe ordered 84 sandwich platters in total.
L.I To solve multiplication problems with a factor greater than 10.

To re write a story you need to change the character, the setting, where the character met the mouse and when the mouse describes the gruffalo's favourite food.
The change I made was changing the mouse into a squirrel. The squirrels setting is a underground house. I also changed the gruffalo's favourite food to Fox soup.
LI: To re write a narrative.
Making connections is when you use text to self, text to text, and text to world.
Text to self means to make another connection with other books. For example The gruffalo is very big and the is scary. Also the book jack and the beanstalk has someone big and scary.
Text to text means to make a connection to yourself. For example the mouse was brave when he scared the other animals away. Also the BFG scares people away.
Text to world means to make a connection with the world . for example the owl took the mouse to his tree top house. In the book Master Crooks theirs old people that kidnaps kids.
This week we learnt about risks.
We rated situations on low risk, likely risk, possible risk, evaluated risk, and extreme risk. Low is In most cases are risks that can be avoided by common sense. Likely in most cases can be avoided by common sense with application of skill. Possible are Risks that are contained by application of safety procedures. Evaluated is something that safety procedures only limit some danger. Extreme is something that out number the safety procedures and danger that is about to happen.
Later we wrote our own situations that match each risk level.
Low, Likely, possible, evaluated, and extreme, all describe different levels of risk.
LI - To access likelihood.
LI - To access consequences.a
