Cinquain Poem

 LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.

I enjoyed this activity because

Technological practices

LI: To use technological practices process to design a toy.

l

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.

I found this activity interesting because we found ways to create the mars rover with materials we had.

 LI: to learn how to save money.

Today we were learning about stop think and wise. It was about saving money, We have an instructer that was called Marlon, He was a asb person that worked at a bank. We have bankes to store up our money, And  when the banks store up the money it like it saving up your money. We could use money or a credit card.

Identify, Investigate & Design a model of rover

 L.I to Identify, Investigate & Design a model of rover

The three technological practices were identify, investigate and design. When doing these technological practices, we need to make sure we are doing it properly for a proper trial and error project. Identify means to observe the opening problem. Investigating means to research how to solve the problem or research how to use materials for the model. Design means to draw or create a blueprint/sketch of your model. These three practices help you to build an end product of your model. Our group enjoyed looking into these practices and worked together as a group to come up with a design.

Duffy

 Today we had a assembly but it was a duffy assembly. There was a person that talk about reading and his name was called Marc. Marc  told us a story that was about when he was reading. He was in prison but a teacher was teaching him to read because if he didn't know he wouldn't know how to read. He told us his life about reading. He told that he was sad when someone says he cant but he told us that if you remove the t you get you can.

I Hope I Win this Race...

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

Getting each ingredient by winning each round of charades made my group feel more confident we might win. When I picked up the pen I was shaking because it felt like I was going to let my team down. It was funny because it looked like I was going to get the answer wrong, but in our group we had to collaborate together to be able to succeed together, so I didn’t. We felt that we did a good job in the pancake race. I really enjoyed that because it was fun to make and eat the pancakes.

Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.
