Duffy Theatre

LS1 and I went to a Duffy Theatre show.

When I arrived, I sat down on the floor and waited for the other classes to come. While the Duffy group was playing the songs the other classes came and they started the show. They first decided what role they were going to choose.

Next They finished choosing their roles. There were chickens, an auntie, a mum, a brother and a little sister. It was really funny.

In the end Duffy fell into a hole and the auntie and the little sister helped Duffy to get out of the hole. Some people helped by grabbing the rope and pulling it softly. Then we got to ask some questions to the characters.

The experience was amazing because it was funny and enjoyable

Party Popper Design

My group The Gryffindor Squad, made a party popper design.

First I discussed to my company what design we should do. We used the long rubber band instead of the medium rubber band because they were all used. So we just used the long rubber band instead because it was actually good!

Next we were choosing our cups. Then we tested the paper cup and it was successful. Then we tested the plastic cup. The plastic cup was ok but we just decided to use the paper cup. So then we chose the paper cup because it was successful!

To finish up We chose all our other things. We chose the toothpick for our stopper, a piece of paper for our weight and glitter stickers for our filling. Our plan was really successful.

I learned a lot about how to make party poppers. This is also a good thing because I increased my creativity skills. Next time I should get better items!

LI: to make a prototype for testing.

Explanation Starter| Strawberries

 I learned how to explain a basic fact, a hook and an emotion.

 First I used the Basic fact about strawberries. A strawberry is a type of fruit.
 A Basic Fact is like a main fact or a simple fact.

 Then I used the Hook. Did you know that there are different types of strawberries?

 A Hook is something that starts with did you know.

 Then I used the emotion of when somebody ate a strawberry.

 A strawberry is a type of fruit and they are yummy.
 A emotion is similar to a feeling.

Measurement-Length

 I learnt about millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres in a group.

 I measured a tote tray. And it was 47 centimetres long. I thought it was 30 centimetres though. 

 

 Measuring can be measured by small rulers, long rulers, medium rulers and big rulers. 

 A millimetre is the smallest measure. A centimetre is the second smallest measure.

A metre is the medium size. A kilometre is the biggest amount out of all of the metres.

I liked learning about measurements because it helps me increase my maths measuring skills.

Memory game

Today I played a te reo maori memory game. We started with Zailett and then I was next.

We went around in a circle choosing our cards. It was Alexxa's turn and she got the correct memory cards. Some of the cards we were matching were: poaka paua - ham, paraoa - bread and retehi - lettuce.

After Alexxa won more of the memory cards all of us started to get the correct cards. 

I also revised some things from last week like roto and waho which mean in and out. 

I like doing all maori activties because they help me with my pronunciations in maori.
