The Inchcape Rock

This week for reading we have been learning a poem. This poem that we lenrt was called a balled poem. We had ceated a DLO showing the meaning of one of the verse. I used verse 10. My favourtie part about this learning was hearing the peom Mr Johnston had been telling us.

M&M's

Today I have been learning about M&M's. I worked collaboratively with Fui, Julian, Aung Naing and Affonso to find out some facts about M&M's. I found out that a man called Forrest Mars created M&M's by seeing soliders eating a sugar coting shell with chocolate inside. From now on today M&M's are a known to be favourites.  I also learnt that peanut M&M's were invented in 1954.

Casey and Jeff Animated Story

This is an Example of an animated story that I've recreated using Scratch.  The components that I used to recreate this story include: Backdrops, Sprites and Dialogue, Speech Bubbles

The codes that I used to recreate the story include:

•  Events code to start the story,  
• Looks script to enable the sprites to talk,
• Control script to wait how many seconds each sprite would talk,
• Looks backdrop to have the background pop in

Raurimu Spiral informationa

Today for Key into Evaluation set 4 I have created a DLO about the Raurimu Spiral. Something I learnt today was that the Raurimu Spiral was a Single track railway.  It is really long and it is an engineering master piece. I have created a DLO showing what the Raurimu Spiral is.

Making Connections

In Reading today, we have been doing Making Connections. Our book that we read was called Ready Steady Snack. Something I've learnt from this book was to eat healthy when an event happens. I used this DLO to wirte in the following: Text to Text, Text to World and Text to self. The Text to Text is when you get to compare the story book to another story or a movie. The purpose of Text to world is comparing the book to something out in the world and Text to self is writing about your reaction to the story.

Unicycle Tricks

Today I have learnt about a Unicycle. I learnt that in the word Unicycle uni means one. I have found a video thjat shows how someone riding a Unicyle on a tight rope. My reaction to this video is shocking because in a part of the video it looked like he almost fell but instead he went around the rope. I would not try this because I could get out of balance and fall.

Kiwi Sport

In Kiwi Sport today, we have been learning to get our defence better. We first played a game that included 2 teas to vs each other. We played this game like this: The team on deffence have to try rip of their tag. If they do get their tag ripped off then they would have to go to the other side of the court. If some people on the attack team get to the other side that would be a point. We then started to go into our Rippa rugby game. At this point our defence was really good. The points that each group was getting was low. What I liked about this session is that I got better at defence.
