Kiwi sport | Swimming

This week for kiwi sport we went to the YMCA lagoon pools to learn how to swim. We normally have Cameron as our swimming instructor but he was sick so we had Helen for our swimming instructor. When we sat down in the pool Helen told us to hop in the pool safely and get a swimming board. After we got a swimming board we got told what to do first with the board. Then we talked about the moves that we had to think of well we were gone and it was like a sequence.

The first thing we did was follow Helen's sequence which was a mushroom, then we had turn our body into a T, then we had to do 4 arm strokes, then we had to rotate onto our backs and do sculling to the end of the other platform. After we did that we had to create our own sequence, My sequence was sculling on my back which turned to  arm stroke which turned into a mushroom to a Tee and then free style to the end of the platform. 

After that we had to put our boards away and listen to Helen, Helen said we had to swim to the end of the pool with whatever swimming style that we learnt this term and look at the clock with out touching the ground and treat the water for half a second which is thirty (30) seconds and then sim back to the other platform how ever we wanted. First was Me, then it was Victoria, then it was Matthew and then it was Giovanni. When we finished our things we high five Helen then got out of the pool safely then (Got change) went back to school.

Cheng I Sao

This week for reading we had to create a DLO explaining the story we read which was Cheng I Sao.
In the DLO we had to include a piece of movement, audio or video. We also included the story, the
questions and answers, the purposes a lessons and the video.

We used this theme as our background because we thought it was a interesting color and because it suited the color that Cheng I Sao was wearing. In our DLO we had seven slide which were the title, the story, the questions and answers, the purpose and lessens and then the video. I n the story we added extra detail just to explain the story really good. In the questions we asked interesting questions so we could get others attention and make them think of the answer to the question we asked. The purpose and lessons were explaining why they created the story and what the character was about and the video is like the story that we explained but animated. After we finished creating our DLO we had to do our reading notes and then publish our work.

Technology evelution

This week for inquiry we had to create a DLO and in the DLO we had to explain what our technology evolution was. We had to answer a few question that Mr Wong had put on the white board for us. On the DLO we also had to explain what our game was about, what our technology was, the answers to the questions and then the reason we chose the technology.

In our DLO we created the background black so it could stand out better. Farzana and Sakina were not here so me and Victoria had to do it by ourselves. In our DLO we had nine slides which were the game that we played, the technology we chose, the following questions, the four questions and then the question why did we choose this technology for the game. In our DLO we added gifs to show what the following answers to our question were. We also found different types of photos to show what the technology that we were talking about were. We found photos of ramparts, people invading villages and people going to warfare. In our game we explained what it was and what we had to do to play it, we also explained how far we could move and the types of technology the defenders used to defend and the attackers used to attack. In our technology we explained why we chose the technology and what the technology was.

The Leviathan or kraken

This week for writing we have been learning about persuasive writing. We learnt that persuasive writing is a type of writing that persuades others to like your opinion or your idea. In persuasive writing we used O.R.E.O to plan our work out. O.R.E.O stands for Opinion, Reasons, Explanations and Opinion again. First in OREO we had to give a statement, three reasons and then your opinion after you have researched it up.

This week for writing we had to go on the LS1 site to click on the template that Mr Wong had put on the slides for us. In the DLO we had to research on different sites to find information about this text. We got a choice of options the first one was, Which one ids more devious? The leprechaun or the genie or which one is more dangerous, The Leviathan or Kraken and I picked The Leviathan or Kraken because it sounded more interesting then the leprechaun and genie. In my OREO text I found three sites that help me learn about these animals.(Site 1, Site 2, Site 3) In these site they explained how the animals or monsters were different and what they did. One of the sites say that the Leviathan breathes smoke through his nose to boil the water so he could kill the marine life, it also says the the kraken kills from its long 10 testicles. After all my research I found that it was the truth. I f you wont to visit my google doc click here.
