Character Trait

A character trait is information about a character in a story.  The character trait uses adjectives to describe a character's personality. There are  characters in the story the Highway Rat, the example below show the duck.

The duck is a kind villager. An example for that is: when the duck gallops on the horse and shares the stolen food. This shows that the duck is kindful and helpful because how she shares the food. 

A further example of the ducks character traits is: when she was scared because the rat was about to eat her. This shows that the duck is scared and clever because of how she lies to escape from getting eaten.

Character traits can help the reader understand the character's personality.

Multipacation

 Multipacation is a faster way of adding the same numbers many times. The two, five, and ten times table are examples of multipacation.

The two times table are multiplying two by a number of groups. The five times table are multiplying five by a number of groups.The ten times table are multiplying ten by a number of groups.

The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multiplication equations. The next times table to learn are the three, four, and six times table.

What is Teamwork? | HPE

LS1 group B went to the hall for some P.E. 

First Mr Ogilvie told us if we had ideas on what was teamwork? I told my partner Hector what was teamwork. " communicate is part of teamwork, and don't let anyone out". Then we played a game called the blindfold cone challege. This activity was for communication, I had the blindfold on and Hector had to guide me to the cone on the other side. I was the last person to put my cone ontop of the other group's cone. This activity involed communication.

Then we played a game called bindfold dodge ball. I had to tell Hector the directions of the beanbag because he had a blindfold on. It was hard telling him the directions because the groups around me were shouting to their partner and Hector couldn't hear me. This activity involed collaboration.

Lastly we played a game called hunger games dodge ball. We played normal dodgeball but everybody was it. The hit zone was their chest and below. This activity involed cooperation.

I need to work on listening because when it was my turn for blind fold dodgeball I was listening to another groups directions and I only hit one person. The three Cs can be useful if you don't know what team work is, The 3 Cs cn be a good start of learning teamwork.

Sipi Tau And Maori Haka | Inquiry

I learnt the diffrences and similarities between the maori haka and the sipi tau. 

I first put in the similarities in the DLO. One of the simularites I wrote down was that they are both trying to scare their opponents, they both slap their body and they both are loud. 

After that I wrote down my diffrences. One of my diffreces I wrote down was that the  maori people take the haka into challegeing another tribe. 

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt the diffrences and similarities about the Maori haka and the Sipi Tau. This helps we understand how different cultures share similar things, but how depending on the place or people they maybe a little different. All cultures have something special to them.

SSR Selfie

I read a book called the USA by Shalini Vallepur.

I read 11 pages of the book. I read one page about Texas. I learnt Alaska is the biggest state followed by Texas, Alaska is the biggest state of population. 

I then read a page about the Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a big carnival that happens in New Orleans before the christian season of lent. The biggest celebrations in USA happens in New Orleans.

I enjoyed reading this book because I learnt new facts about the USA.

Basic Facts Boxes

 I complted a can-do activity called basic facts boxes.

I first went on my basic facts sheet and opened a stopwatch on another tab. I then started my basic facts boxes. 

I then put in my results. I did up to 20, my time was 100/100 and my time was 4 minutes and 11 seconds. 

Next time I do this task I will do a harder level and try to improve my time.

Multipacation

I learnt the meaning of multipaction and used multipacation to figure out how many counters my group had. 

First my group and I got given couters, we figured out the amount of counters using multipacation like 2, 3, 4, 5 and all the small times tables. My group and I split the counters into small groups of 5 and our total was 35.

After that my group and I switched counters with a diffirent group. We counted the counters in 5s and the total was 25. My group and I figured out that 5x5 is 25 so we put the counters in small groups of 5.

I need to work on my learning some of my multipacation because when we counted the counters in 7s I didn't know the times table.
