Writing | Editing

LI: To revise the structure and reaffirm the marking criteria.
For writing we had to make another imaginative recount. About winning something, like ow all of our second recounts was about winning a competition, and writing about how we feel. For the editing we had to highlight what we would change in our writing my recount was about winning the handball competition.  

Companies | Business

LI : What is a business
We first got in groups of eight, we would have to sort out where a business would go/categorise as. For example let's say there's a restaurant called KFC it would be categorized under the food category. The category our groups had are in the top images, there were more but we didn't get enough time. Our goal for the inquiry session was to sort out as many companies in where we think they go.

Reading | Novel study

LI : To learn more about the novel we read
We were doing novel studies. But before we started to read we would get in groups of five and make bookmarks so we can put it on the page we left off. The bookmark had to include what we think makes a good reader. The novel i'm reading this week is the witches by roald dahl. Each person in our reading groups would have their own book to choose from. The teacher would give us a reading goal like how far into the book we had to read. Next week there will be activities for us to do thats has to do with the novel.

Word Definitions

LI : To research.
Introduction
We had a to research 21 words and their function well under 45 minutes. We first got in a group of three, one of our members in the group made the document well another would make a grid and the last member will copy and paste the words.

Learning
when we found the words/meanings of the words, we had to make them relate to what we think the next topic for maths might be for the next four weeks. After we shared the meanings of the words, the class had to think in their groups what they think the topic is. The next topic was origami planes and aerodynamics.

Maori

LI : To learn new words in maori.
The first thing we did was talk with fire odie. She would ask us new questions from last week, she would write what the phrase/word means in maori. And write in english what it means so we can read the question, if we have forgotten.

The next task was like that but this time we had a grid with words and our group had to divide and conquer the worksheet. Our group would use maori dictionary to help find the meaning. The repeated words like "roa" or "toa" would mean that they had multiple meanings instead of one. 

Kiwi can

LI : To learn how to respect each other 
For kiwi can we split up in 2 groups this will be important later. We first re-capped on our topic last week. And talked about respecting ourselves, and the catch phrase. The first activity we did was called versus so the kiwi can leaders would say which is better baked beans or spaghetti and the class had to choose what they think and provide a reason.

When that was over we the class spilt we were now playing wisdom vs might we were on might and we had to do physical challenges such as getting with a partner and trying get up without using our hands well ours is warped around,the next is getting in a circle warping our hands around each other and as a group get up the ground without using our hands. The last thew would be making a human pyramid without falling.                                                     

Maths

LI: to recall core skills and knowledge for addition, subtraction,multiplication, fractions, and place value.

Maths this week was about recapping what we learnt in this year to prepare for the test next week. We recapped what we learnt by doing a quiz. The quiz included  addition and subtraction  by using time  and also decimals. We also recapped our times tables and basic facts. We also did division and grouping. 

We also had to find out the area and perimeter for shapes. There was a shape and the 
measurements were on it. You can find out the perimeter by adding all the sides or measurements together, and you find out the area by multiplying the height and width. We also recapped on our fractions by sharing fractions, identifying fractions, and fractions of sets.

Some of strategies people used was using our basic facts. Tidy numbers,place value,repeated addition subtraction,standard algorithm,rounding and compensating and reversing.
