U-Turn

LI: To make a book interactive.
LI: To analyse a story for its conflict and resolution.
This week for reading we had to make a intercative DLO showing the book U-Turn. We had to Find 3 vocabulary words, 2 idioms, 3 vocab questions and 3 figurative languages. Then we highlighted 1 for and example. We had to make sure that we had to original text information so were not copyright and so we are telling the author of the book that we arn't copying theri book. Then if they find any of those vocabulary ect then it comes up with a question. You have to answer it if your correct it will take you to a page that says they are correct but if theyr't correct it will take them to a page saying incorrect then it will take them back to the reading page. This is interactive so it looks real.

Kiwi Can

L.I is to learn the meaning of respect.

This week at Kiwi Can we were learning about respect and what it means. Next we played a Game called: Center Ball. It is a game where you have to get into a circle, number offed 1 - 4. If your number is called you have to run around clock wise and back into your your spot then the first person to grab the ball in the middle wins. Then we talked about respect. We said "What rules will be better off with our school". 

Some people said "Chewing gum allowd" and some people said "No uniform". I said yes to both because chewing gum might help you to fockus and to clean your teeth and yes to no uniform because it shows your personality. After talking about respect we played our activity called: Bus stop. It is a listing game so you have: Name, food, animal, song, game and toal. 

When a letter is called you have to name as many this starting with that. If someone gets the same then its 5 points but if different 10 points. When some oen is finished they say bus stop and everyone stops writing. Lastly we got into our points. We got: 55544 which was 23 same as group B.

LI: to correct certain structure and language features in a recount.

This week for Reading we were learning about 4 topics. Paragraph linking, Sentence structure, paragraph structure and organising ideas. Our group was doing Paragraph linking. Paragraph linking is when you join one paragraph with another paragraph that dosn't have that much ideas.

I linked the paragraph that they got tired with the next paragraph leading to Mount Fuji. I joined those two paragraphs together bewcause of the little ideas the second paragraph had. then I just cut off a little word off and added one word and inked the paragraphs together to make one paragraph that still makes sense.

Then we first started by learning how to put on the boxing gloves. First you get a pair of gloves then chose your boxing glove size and put it on tight as possible. Next we started off with Jab. Which is punching with our left hand. Next was Cross. 

Then Jab cross and lastly Jab Jab Cross our mix combo. Then we were learning our rock position which is legs together, arm sholder width apart. Right leg back and boxing gloves on face to protect your self. This was a really fun and cool session and can't wait for our next session already.
