Idioms | Reading

This week for reading we were explaining different idioms. An idiom is a phrase that means something different to what it usually means. I did this can-do with Te Raumati and Akifa

We picked three idioms which was: an apple a day keeps the doctor away, call it a day, and easy as ABC.

After we picked three idioms we wrote a script and created videos to explain the idioms we chose visually.

I enjoyed this activity doing this can do and I will do it again.

Novel Study | Reading

The Twits is a fictional book that was created by the author Roald Dahl. 

The first two chapters was about Mr Twit horrible prank. When Mrs Twit was up in the air she came up with a great idea. She was going to bite off the strings that was tied around her that will make her float back down. After she bit off some of them she fell straight down and landed on Mr Twit.

The next two chapters was about Mrs and Mr Twit house that has no windows, and how they have a garden with a dead tree to capture birds to make bird pie. 

The Twits is a funny book that lots of people can read including children.

Money | Maths

Money is used for paying things such as food, home loans, etc. 

NZ money has 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2 are coins and $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 are notes. 

Example:

If someone had $10 and bought $1.50c chocolate bar and a $1.70c ice cream, how much money is left? We can solve this equation by using place value. First add 50c + 70c = $1.20c. Another way to solve this is: divide 70c into 20c and 50c. Next add 50c + 50c = $1. Then add $1 + 20c = $1.20c.  Next add $1 + $1 = $2. Then add $2 + $1 = $3. Finally add $3 + 20c = $3.20c.

It is important to know the use of money.

Kiwi Sport | Touch Rouby

This week we learned how to do a new skill called plant the ball in touch rugby.

First we did a drill by touch, place the ball on the ground, then step over the ball with a buddy.

Next we played a game where we had two teams. We then tried to get the ball by touching the other team. After they were tagged they had to place the ball on the ground then go over the ball, and the other team will get it. 

Lastly we played a game where we had the 2 attackers and 1 defender, and we had to get the ball to score. 

I enjoyed doing this activity. I found this easy because I have done this before.

Maths | Jobs

Mostly all types of jobs uses maths, teaching, cooking, sports, cashier, car dealerships, etc

Lego creators need to use measurement and counting. In this job measuring is important because it will be easier to plan the length, width, height, and the layout of the lego building. 

Counting is also important in this job because the creator need to know how much they have used to build. 

Lego creators need to use these maths strategies so they can get the same number, and size.

Writing | Narrative

Narratives are made up stories. Narrative uses third person words and past tense. The structure of the narrative is TOPES. 

To plan a narrative, first brainstorm as many ideas as possible, then chose one that is best. 

Next write who the characters are going to be. Then write the problem that is going to happen in the story. Events is usually written to lead to the solution, the solution can be failed or succeeded

To write a narrative, write sentences and paragraphs using the ideas. 

It is important to know how to plan a narrative so people can learn each process of it.
