Solving Strategies | Maths

For this weeks math we tried solving stuff using different strategies.

Splitting numbers are like for example - 38 + 20, you start with the biggest number first then you count down.

Number line is when give a number and add onto it, and counting backwards is a strategies




      

Character Trait | Reading.

The fact or opinion is when we say what we think a fact or opinion is. 

A fact is a thing that has been proven or is already true, and an opinion is what you think. 

First, we did a fact or opinion about Rahi, then once we finished that we did a fact or opinion on Patupaiarehe.

Lastly, we did the character trait, which is filling in information about the character that we chose. 

I enjoyed doing this activity with my group.

Synonyms | Writing

This weeks learning was about synonyms. 

Synonyms are words that can be similar to other words. For example the word problem can be related to, issue, emergency & situation.

Adverbs are words that describe the way that something happened.
Verbs are words that are also describing but describes an action

Kiwisport | Swimming

Today, Shantis group focused on doing basic swimming.

First they talked about how to enter a pool safely. They put their hands to the side and put them on the pool edge,

then they turned and got into the pool

Next, they practised freestyle. they swam using any swimming technique, but their head needed to face the bottom of the pool. They then practised streamline.

After that, they learnt how to do a side stroke. They laid on their side in the water with one hand holding the board.

They had to kick to the other side of the pool.

Lastly, they did a dolphin dive. They dove into the water and lifted their back.

They repeated this to complete the dolphin dive.

Tangrams

Today I learnt how to make tangrams, I rearranged the pieces to make animal shapes.

First I made a square piece of paper because tangrams are made from a big square.

Then I folded the square into various shapes and cut them out.

Lastly I tried to make different animal shapes from the tangram pieces

This activity was challenging but enjoyable at the same time.
