QAR Questions | Reading

This week we were learning about QAR strategy. We had to read the book for some questions to write on the google doc. Next once when you come up with questions write it on a template with think and search, right there, author and me and on my own.

Then once when your do your QAR questions do a D.L.O and explain how to do it.

This helps us understand how to find the answers and where the answers might be from .

LI- To pose questions, and locate the answers in the text.

Kiwi Sport | Vollyball

In kiwi sport we learnt a new skill. This skill is called dig. 

How to do a dig.

Put one foot in front of an another.

Then release your arm down. When you do that body part it is faster to set above you head or dig.

Then when the ball is coming bend down and hit it.

This skills help because when the ball is below  you can bend down and hit it with the skill.

Maths | Fractions and Decimals

Fractions are equal parts. There is mixed numbers , improper fractions and proper fraction.

Improper fractions are unequal parts. For example: 9/8 This is a unequal fraction because the nominator is higher then the denominator.

Proper fractions are equal parts. For example: 9/10 This is a equal fraction because the denomintor is higher then the denoinator.

Decimals are numbers that are less than one. For example: 0.8 and 0.7

Reading | Summary

For reading was how to do a summary. 

A summary is a shortened verstion of a text that contains all the main ponits .

Summarising is an inportant skill that helps us when we are reseaching, gathering and presenting information 

Finding key words helps us to summarise the text.

For my keywords I did verbs, adjectives and nouns

. Verbs are describeing words that describe movement. For example: Talk because my mouth is moving.

Adjectives are describeing words. For example: night because i could descibe it in the sky.

Nouns are things with names. For example: star because it's a name of something.

LI - To learn how to summarise

Kiwi sport

In vollyball there is a move called a sereve or ( over arm and under arm)

To sereve your non dominant hand has to be out flat, while your non dominant hand is wide out put your non dominant foot in front. Then put your dominant hand in the air, toss the ball a little up and strike the ball as hard as you can over the net.

 

Fractions And Decimals

Fractions are the equal pieces of a whole object. Decimals are numbers that are less than one.

Example: There is one cake and someone is trying to share the cake amongst 4 people. If there are 4 people in the room that want cake, someone can cut the cake into quarters or eights. Each person can have one or two pieces of cake

Q&R Questions

Right there, Think and search, Author and you, and On my own are special question.

Right there: Is a question in the book and you can ponit at the answer.
For example: Can dragons fly?

Think and search is a question that is in the book. You find the answer is different places.
For example: If you were a dragon what would you do?  

 Author & you: Not in the book you think about it. You can inmage something and make up something.
For example: If dragons were surrounding you what would you do?

On my own: Not in the book you can ask anyone related to the main topic of the book.
For example: Are dragons real? 

This helps because when someone asks about a question I know where the information is from.

Commenting Thread

This week I decided to comment on Xavier's blog post about masking art. 

The question I asked Xavier was "Do you do art in your free time" 

I enjoyed this activity because I like commenting on people's blog.

Number chart

Today for our Māori session we are learning how to count to 100 in te reo Māori.

Volume and Capacity

Capacity is a type of amount an object contains.

Volume comes from how much space an object has.

The measurement for volume and capacity is milimeters (ml) and liters (I).

If a person wants to convert liters (I) to milimeters (ml) just divide by (1000).

In volleyball there is one move that is always used is called a set. Set is when you serve in volleyball. 

To set in vollyball you have to put one foot in front of each other.

 Keep your hands on top of your head when you are setting the ball.

Put them split them apart because that where the ball is landing. 

When you are about to push the ball you push of your back leg and move your arm up.

Masking Art

In art we were making geometric masking art. Geometric means simple shapes. Masking is hiding an area of something. 

We first created the frame with tape. After that we sectioned off the pieces with tape. We had to section off big pieces then section them into small pieces.

After that we started colouring. To colour in the sections we moved the pastels in one direction so it would look smooth.

After colouring all the sections I ripped off the tape that was on my paper and I only got the coloured in parts.

Verb hunt | Writing

Verbs are action words. There are three types of verbs called physical verbs, thinking verbs and state of being verbs.

Physical verbs are action words that are used with movement for example, punch.

Mental verbs are thinking that are related with thinking example imagine, dream and remember.

There is only one state of being verb example be. For other versions example is, as, and will.

Verbs helps me desrcibe something.

Basic Facts Boxes

 

 ed demon challenge up to 5. I only did the addition because I wanted to start off easy.
Maybe next week I will do subtraction as well. It took me 5 minutes and 27 secounds.

Properties of Light

Light is an element that makes things visible.  Property is a characteristic or attribute that something owns.


One property is light can't show though opaque objects. The experiment showed that if you put opaque objects in front of the light the opaque blocked the light. The light can't travel though opaque objects.

Another property is that light can make a rainbow while traveling prism. The experiment showed that when Mr Wong put the flashlight on top of the prism it created a rainbow by splitting the white light.

Another property is that light changes positions on the angle of the mirror. The experiment showed that when  the mirror was in front of the flashlight on an angle the mirror reflected off it and when in another direction. 

Plurals

Plurals are nouns that show there is more than one thing.
Most plurals have the letter s at the end of the word to make it a plural, e.g. lions. There is a letter s in front because there is more than one lion.

Open and Close questions

 A Closed questions are a yes or no or one word answer. A Open question is like when you are with someone talking in a conversation.

Open question example: are shoes better than jandals? Is rugby better than basketball and why?
Close question example: are you a boy or a girl? Is your favorite colour blue or red?
