A Short Story by Rohullah

Today Rohullah and I played 'Roll-A-Story'. He had to roll the dice to choose the character, setting and plot. Rohullah chose Mrs Eeles, hidden music instruments and the driveway. This is the story we wrote together. It took a long time as we talked about each sentence. Great work Rohullah!

Latham teaching his Teacher!

Today Latham taught me how to use I Movie Trailer. He did a really good job! His instructions were clear and easy to understand. I love learning from my learners because they make great teachers!

Congratulations Zahn and Shantay!

Great to see you both showing great team spirit as well as your skill in sports.

Hydration by Sajiha and Jacob

This is a collaborative poster that I have created with Jacob. We have included what 'hydration and dehydration' is, how water helps us and a 25 word summary explaining why it is vital to human survival. We have also used an image to give our audience a clearer understanding of our topic. 

Word Problem by Tim

Today Tm used an algorithm to solve division problems. He had to think of a question and solve it himself to show his thinking.

Learning to use Speech Marks: Manu, Zahn, Jacob

This is the DLO that Zahn, Jacob and I did. We made a popplet because it is very easy to use and showed our learning. The best part was we could all work on it.

Learning to sprint by Oh S'Mar

   

 

This morning we went to our kiwi sport called Run Jump Throw. It was our first time doing it. We learnt that to run fast and properly. You will need to follow these rules: Look straight, cheek to cheek with your arms, light feet and high knees, to start a sprint you should not look at the starter and the difference between long distance and short distance is that long distance doesn't have get set go in their wording. While we were practising running and doing the hurdles Mrs Anderson videoed us so then we can compare how we run to other people.

Sebastian shares his strategy

Last week my maths group learnt a new strategy to solve larger division problem more efficient by breaking the bigger number into two numbers that can be divided easily.

Learning to Sprint by Sebastian

Today room 5 did run jump and throw. Andy our instructor taught us how to run like a pro. She said we would need to follow these rules: Look straight, High knees, Stand tall, Cheek to Cheek with your arms and light feet. Also she taught us the difference between long distance words and short distances words. She said that on long distance they don't say get set. Mrs Anderson our teacher recorded us doing drills so then we can compare it to other people. 

Halatoa working on his PBS CARE Award

This is me working on my attitude for my CARE award. My task was to tutor someone that needs help with a skill. I have helped John with using an algorithm as a strategy in Maths. 

Learning to Sprint by Halatoa

Today, we had our first session with Andy today. Run Jump Throw is mainly based on running. Andy taught us about the basic rules of sprinting, which are:

• Standing Tall
• Looking Straight Ahead
• Light Feet
• High Knees
• Cheek to cheek with arm movements

We also had a relay and a race jumping over hurdles  between each other. Andy mentioned to us to never loo at the starter as this slows us down. Mrs. Anderson also filmed us to compare us. I am looking forward to our next session next week! 

Tutoring with Shantay

Today I have taught Halatoa a new skill for Maths. I taught him the strategy for adding big equations faster. 

Here is some of the examples I have done with him. 

Vincent Van Gogh

Saruja and Tiare used their smart searching skills to create this DLO about Vincent Van Gogh. I was really impressed with how hard they tried to write the information in their own words.

Still Life With Miss D

Inspired by the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, we these created still life Sunflower paintings with Miss D. We learnt about colour mixing, proportion and brush techniques.

Online Challenges

Oh S'Mar and Sebastian were practising decimal place value knowledge with one of our online challenges as part of our Maths rotation today. If you would like to try this activity
