Reading WL3

 Reading WL3

I love Reading WL3, we always have a new goal every 2 weeks. This week our goal was: Skim read to locate specific information & retell. 

We got to read a digital text from Kiwi kids News. It was about the Olympics and how some of our Kiwi athletes were going in which sport. We skim read through the text because on the Success Criteria it said not to read the whole text. We had to write in our books about who were the people in the text, what were the sports, when it happened, and where it was. ( I will show you a picture at the end)

After we skim read through the text the group talked about some of the who, what, when, and where. One of the who's were Lisa Carrington. One of the what's were Athletics. The When was Day 13. Last but not least the where was Tokyo Olympics 2020.That was our fun Reading WL3.

 So now my picture that I talked about in the first paragraph:

Olympics Booklet

 Olympics Booklet

This term we have an inquiry called going for gold. One of the things is about the olympics. I will tell you about the funnest booklet ever.

So we got this olympic booklet by Kiwi Kids News. It's so fun we all have one in MLH and we have 3 weeks to finish it. There's stories about the ancient olympics, there are cool games about the olympics. We also get to do your favorite kiwi athlete, last but not least we get to do things about Japan!

 Sometimes you get to say who your favorite kiwi athlete is for the olympics and paralympics, I choose Madaline Davidson for olympics (she does trampoline). We get to write her date of birth, age, hometown, sport, first olympics, and achievements. I also had to the same thing for paralympics. I choose Sophie Pascoe for the paralympics ( she is a swimmer).

I got to where it said Japan popular culture and I was worried. There was K-pop, Kawaii, Manga, and Anime. I knew what all of it was but, I do not know how to draw. All I know is that I tried and I think it looks ok.

I love the Olympic booklet. I wish we had the olympics every year so we could do the olympics booklet.

L3 Number!!!

 L3 Number

L3 Number one of my favourites workshops L3 Number is math there's L2, EL3 but I'm in L3. We learnt: solve any addition question with decimals using place value. So I will show a picture about that. 

We had some questions they were:

     

I got all of the answers right, and since it was in litres I got an extra tick not many people did the litres sign, but it was my friend who told me to do the litres 😁. I like how we do a Learning Intention and work on that for the week since we go twice a week. I love L3 Number, it's so fun.

Reading EL3!!!

 Yay reading EL3! Our goal was to compare information within and between texts. We were doing a Matariki text, we had to do a venn diagram, a venn diagram is when there is 2 circles and they cross over,  the middle of the cross over is what is the same, and the other circles are for what is different in each text. We had to do ours about a Matariki text one online and one on paper, and I have the photo on paper so I will show you that and I will show you my venn diagram so...

Strand L3! Oranges

 Oranges!

My favourite workshop is Strand. I like strand because we get to do these really cool things; measurement, math, predictions and so much more. But today, it was about measurement and oranges! I will tell you why.

Last week we learnt about a man called Mr. Archimedes and his bath. He would fill the bath to the very top with water then hop in, and it overflowed, he didn't know why? We had a vase in our class that we put water in, we then put in an orange. We figured out why the water came up, because the pressure of the orange pushed the water up! This is what I had to do, (it's a picture by the way)

Our Relievers

 Our Relievers

Yay relievers today, I love when we have relievers because we normally do art. This time we did do art, Room 1 did Picasso and Room 2 did Sandra Silberzweig art, but I'm in Room 1 so I will tell you about the picasso art.

We grabbed a piece of paper and a vivid we weren't allowed to have another piece of paper or use pencil. We started with the face, the face that I did was a weird face but I was fine with that. After the face we had to draw a line that looked like it was the side of a face. Then we had to choose a nose, lips, ears, eyes also for the eyes they didn't have to be the same eye, that was all for our face. After all of that we had to do the hair mine was good until I wanted to do a beanie and after the actual hat of the beanie I decided I didn't like it.  But I had to roll with it and just made it into hair, you can hardly tell.  Then we had to colour the face and hair, put the paper on the back of the black paper, then do the background and were done.

Now I will show you a photo of my picasso art... 

That was our reliever day!

Beach clean up!!

 Beach clean up!!

It's Enviro Action day today! I wonder what we're doing. If you don't know what action day is I will tell you.  Enviro Action day is where we do some action for our community, I like it because I do it with the class and my friends, also I just find it fun to do. Now for the story!

Dinnggg the bell went for school, I felt so excited. Koka Pip said we were going to the beach and we were going to pick up rubbish. We had to get into groups of 3, I was with my friend Lila and my other friend Betsy, we had to grab Lila's bucket for the rubbish to go in. We walked down to the beach and off we went.

I found out that it was a competition so I was excited! We walked from our beach that we normally go to, to the Surf Club, we found so much. Then we walked to the path under the bridge near Hamanatua and we found a bit of rubbish, so I was happy because it meant more rubbish in our bucket and Hamanatua was more clean. 

We walked back to school and we got a sheet, it was to check off how much rubbish we got. The group that I was in got quite a lot of rubbish. Then we put our rubbish into the right bin and we went to morning-tea. At the end of the day we found out who won, it wasn't our team,😒 but I was fine with that, I'm just happy we found heaps of rubbish!

That was our beach clean up!
