I comment on Sasuke swimming blog post. I commented a question on his blog what skill he learn.

Multiplication

Multiplication is a faster way to count a lot of things.

Example 5+5+5+5+5+5+5 = 35 Multiplication way is 7x5=35

These two slides can show you what to do for maths 5 x and 2 x time table.

LI:To learn about multiplication is a fast way.

Fact or Opinion

L.I To infer information about characters in a story.

This week for reading we were doing fact or opinion. 

We did two stories. One was about Rahi and the other one was about Patupaiarehe.

If you are thinking what fact or opinion is, then I'll explain.

A fact is something you know and an opinion is something you think.

There were eight boxes. The facts went in the first four boxes and the opinion went in the second four boxes.

Next, we did two slides. The first slide was about Rahi and the second slide was about Patupaiarehe. We had to write down what we know about them or something that we think that we know about tham

The purpose of this task was to compare and contrast fact and opinions within the story.

Synonyms

This week for writing we were doing synonyms.

We were laerning about synonyms and we had to write down what the word maens like put is place/lay like what it would mean and its something that means the same or different with the same sound.And a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language, for example shut is a synonym of close.

swimming

This week for kiwisport we did our first session of swimming. My swimming coach was Mr James. 

First we did stream line kicking and we had to put our hands straight behind our head and we had to kick or legs.

 Second we did butter fly kick. 

Third we did frog kick this was my favourite part of the lesson. 

I enjoyed swimming and Im excited for the next lesson.

Tangroms

Today I learned how to make tangrams.

I rearranged the pieces to make animal shapes. First I made a square piece of paper because tangrams

are made from a big square. Than I folded the square into various shapes and cut them out. Lastly, I tried to make different animal shapes from the tangram pieces. 

maths

Multiplication is a fast way to count a number. For example 10x8=80.

Adjectives a nouns

L.I-to improve our vocabulary for descriptive writing.

This week for writing we were laernig about Adjectives and Nouns.
You had to make or think of words for Adjectives and Nouns.Think of words that have a meaning in it and action can be use in Nouns and words with meaning in it a Adjectives.In like Nouns
for example the meaning has to be in a different way than Adjectives like play the is not Nouns that would be Adjectives but Nouns are used to name,animal,person,place,thing or ideas.

legend of rahi

  This week for reading we were learing about visualising.

Mr Ogilvie told us a story and we had to darw it by parts. Whan we were darwing it was about legend of rahi.
This is like remakeing or darwing a story but Mr Ogilvie said part by part of the story and telling about the story.

Visualising means if someone tells a story you can think in your head abour what it means.This will help when reading a chapter book, as there are no pictures to help. You can imagine everything in your head to help understand.

L.I To retell the text using visualising strategy to sequence events.
