Respect DLO

This blog post is about a Respect DLO which shows how to show respect and what respect means. I have created this in order to collect a care respect badge which I am working hard for. This DLO is for you to check out if you don't know what Respect is? Looking after any equiptment while you are using it is one of the things you can do to show respect. I always like to show respect because if you show respect to other people then they will show respect back to you. This is created by me (Giovanni) so that I can go forward to collecting my respect badge. Respect is really important in life because if you don't show respect then no one will want to talk to you or might not show respect back to you.

Science Investigation #1

Today this morning Mrs Wells from Tamaki Collage came to our classroom to teach us about science. She taught us about how specific foods and objects can affect a plant. I am going to be doing an experiment of putting crushed candy into a plant and seeing the out come. I am going to then water my plant with crushed candy on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's to see what will happen for 2 weeks. This will be a fun activity to see and watch. I know this activity and science experiment will be a good experience for me.

Kiwi Can Week 3 Term 2

This week at kiwi can we learnt about honesty. Honesty is when you do the right thing even when no one is looking. We had half of the class gone to scoccer so our kiwican class was pretty small. We first started the session with our energizer called bang. The game works by 5 or more people gathering in a circle and one person has to be in the middle of the circle and when that person says someones name the person with their name being called out has to duck down. Then the 2 people beside that person ducking has to batte the other person beside the person that is ducking. Next we talked about what honesty means to us and how we can show honesty. My answer to what honesty measn to us is that honesty means telling the truth to something bad you did and the answer to how we can show honesty is that I could tell the truth if I broke the window by accident. After that we had our activity which was called honesy cards. Each group of 5 or more had a card each and we read the card and the questions on it and we answerd the questions to the text that was on the card. For an example on of our questions were If the elephant didn't step on the homework and he was liying to the teacher how could he tell the truth? Lastly we had our points. I forgot how many points we got, but I know for sure that we got something in the 30s out of 50 which was a little bit dissapointing, but we had fun and enjoyed this session at kiwi can.

Kiwi Sport (Gymnastics) Week 3

L.I to learn how to do multiple activities using your body

This week at Gymnastics we had fun taking part in these activities: Forward roll, Backward roll, Cart wheels, Beam balancing, Building strength and Bouncing. All those activities were set in circuits. Circuit 1 was: Building strength. Circuit 2 was: Beam balance, Cart wheels and Forward rolls. The last Circuit (Circuit 3) had: Spring board, Bouncing, Hand stand and Backward rolls. We were set into rotation groups so we don't get mixed up and confused. Our group first started at Circut 2. I tried all the activites on circuit 2 and the goal was to try every activity on every circuit if you can. Then we moved on to circuit 3 where I found my favorite actvitiy which was the bouncing. I did try every activity on this circuit. Lastly we moved on to circuit 2 our last set of activities. I wasn't able to try every activity sadly. I didn't bother going on the stairs activity because I knew I wouldn't be able to even complete it. This week I really enjoyed doing Gymnastics because this time I found more than 2 activities that I really liked and wish were there the whole time.

First Up Summarising DLO

L.I to create a summary about First up.
First me and Joel wrote 20 interesting words about the text. Then we went on to the 6 most important words. Next we wrote a summary out of those 6 most important words. Our summary was:
Yuri Gagarin took off in Vostok 1 in 1961. He was the first cosmonaut to be launched into space. He orbited earth for 108 minutes before landing back on earth. 
The text first up is about a man named Yuri Gagarin who was the first cosmonaut who went into space. Something I found interesting is that Yuri Gagarin was in space for only 108 minutes. Something I learnt new was that Yuri Gagarin was the first person to ever leave earth.

Kiwi Can Term 2 Week 2

This term at kiwi can we are learning about Integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is looking. An example of showing Integrity is telling the truth when you make a mistake or break something or do anything wrong. I learnt something new about when you lie which is not telling the truth, the problem gets worse which can invole you getting in more trouble or even the police.

This photo of my groups role play shows why it is important to have Integrity. My group is doing a role play of finding a lost wallet and then trying to find the owner of the wallet and returning it. By being honest and showing Integrity people can trust you and rely on you which people will see you as a good person.

Space Race (Main Ideas)

L.I to create a DLO showing the Main Ideas in order from Main - Important - Vital
Today Me and Jayden created a DLO on the main ideas of a school journal book we read called Space Race. It is about satellites. The first ever satellite to launch into space was the Sputnik 1 made by the Russians. One of The 3 Vital Ideas about space race are that a satellite is an artificial body placed on the outside of earth with watches over the planet and reports back information about whats happening like the waether report or the oceans polution. This activity was pretty easy and I learnt a lot from one school journal book Space Race.
