I was doing a illusion template that we had to make by our self.
It was weird try hard to think of and illusion but it was fun because I got to do 2 and the ones I did was a triangle and a square.
It was challenging building these because I had to zoom in and get it in perfect shape.
Today I was doing the insect art.
You have to go outside and find some flowers leaves twigs and thick long strip on grass. I was doing a butterfly it was hard building it because I didn't know what order to put it in.
Eventually I found a way to make it look like a butterfly. To make it look like a butterfly you need to put the leaves on the twig and a long piece of grass on they end and 2 flowers on the front of the twig.
This week I was commenting on Daeyna blog on her first summer learning journey with LS2.
For the second activity of the first week of the Summer Learning Journey, we learnt about how to make a quality blog comment and how it can help us win by giving us bonus points.
To do comment thread you need to comment on some ones blog but ask a question on what you like about, then they reply to your comment and ansewer the question. After you give them feedbqck on what they should right next time.
This week we were doing the Nano girl scavenger hunt. We looked around the class to find the materials.
We needed scissors, Aluminium foil and cans, egg carton, ruler, thin cardboard box and paper.
Then we made a screencastify on everything we needed and did.
We presented our inquiry presentation to the teachers the teachers are, Mr Wong & Mr Ogilvie.
Before presenting our inquiry, we practised our script and timed how long the whole presentation would take us. The presentation expectation was to be within 2 and 3 minutes.
The feedback that we got was to not write a recount on what we worked on together, but instead talk about the main points of the activity.
It was challenging to say the speech but i'd like to do this again
This week we were doing our Resource requisition, shelter materials.
First we figured out what materials we needed to make our shelter outside ls1. We thought of Wool, Plaster, Clay bricks and Aluminum cans. The cans hold up our roof so it won’t collapse the clay bricks to make our shelter wool take a while to burn so my group and I chose wool.
Then the layers of the structure had clay on the outside layer, aluminium cans on the inside layer, the wool will be on the inside of the aluminium cans and the plaster of paris is to hold the materials together.
After my group and I corrected our shelter materials and model with Mr Wong we finished and got our materials.
Not most materials can protect against natural disasters.
This week we watched a performance by a Kapa Haka group.
First they did a special ceremony to welcome us.
Then they used this special shell. It's to warn there tribe that people are near by.
Next they told us about the poi and taiaha. The taiaha is to frighten of the enemy. The poi is for dancing or performing.
After we played Matau and Maui. Matau means you go right Maui means you go left.
I enjoyed this performance i'd like to see it again because it scared me.
We carried on with two man settles and three man settles from the last week.
First we practised two and three man settle to get ready for a touch game. Coach mark told us to aim for one person when we drive the ball down the field.
Next we played a game of touch. The game was for learning how to play and how to use a two and three man settle
I thought touch rugby was good because Hector Josh and I did well with the three man settles. I need to practice the two man settle more often.
For Maths I learnt about fractions the fractions I learnt was Quarters and Eighths.
My group and I needed scissors, vivid and 2 cups.
This week I translated Auckland volcano names to Maori.
Some volcano names are Puketāpapa,means Mt Roskill, Maungarei means Mt Wellington and Rarotonga means Mt Smart.
The Twits is a fiction book written by Roald Dahl. In chapters 20-23 it tells how the monkeys escape and plot revenge for the Twits.
When Mr Twit walked outside he realized that there are no birds on the tree and cage because they were all on the roof. Mrs Twit didn't want Mr Twit putting glue on their roof so they decided to buy some guns because Mr Twit really wanted bird pie.
When Mr and Mrs Twits left to go buy guns, the monkeys hopped back on their feet and asked the Roly-Poly-bird to get them the key for the cage. The Roly-Poly-bird asked wheres the key the monkeys told it's in the work shop hanging on a nail.

This week we went to Silva Park for our film festival. There were lots of school there like Tamaki Primary, Tamaki College, Pt England, Glen Innes School, Ruapotaka School, Glen Taylor and others.
The first movie was our one called Covid. It was when Farzana didn’t hand sanitize and everyone ran out of the classroom.
After that there were lots of movies and my favorite movie was the Covid rap from Tamaki College.
I liked the stay at home rap about Covid-19
This week Xavier commented on my blog the blog he commented on was Fraction practice. Xavier asked me what my favorite fraction was I replied and said quarters then I gave him the reason why I like this fraction. Then he wrote what his favorite fraction was and then he said what was your hardest fraction so I replied and asked him what was his hardest fraction.
This week for basic fact boxes I did division. My challenge is to beat my time in basic facts box my time was 10 minutes and 11 seconds.
This week for SSR Selfie I have read this book about Amulet. This is a fiction book (a made up story).
Screenplays are scripts that are converted into speeches and actions only.
The actors line is center aligned under their name. The lines don't need speech marks because it tells by their name at the top on what there saying.
A screenplay scene number and the word scene should be in all caps and where it was. The person name you writing about should be in caps and centered aligned.
It is important to understand how to write screenplay so the actors understand what to do.
From the chapters 12-15 of the Roald Dahl book The Twits, it tells how Mr Twit's prank backfires and what their house and backyard looks like.
Mr Twit was waiting for birds to sit on the tree so he can have bird pie. While Mr Twit is waiting the monkeys are trying to warn the birds so they don't get cooked. The problem was the birds couldn't understand them because the monkeys speak a different language.
The monkeys thought the birds are going to get eaten and that's when they saw their friend the Roly-Poly bird flew down. The monkeys asked him if he can warn the birds so the Roly-Poly bird went around warning the birds. When Mr Twit cam out he saw all the birds were on the monkey cage instead of the tree.
For Maori we translated Maori names to English names.
We watched a performance by duff theater group about the Coggon. A Coggon is a mythical creature that is a mixture be tween a Cat, Dog, and Chicken.
Before we watched the show the actors introduced them selves. Then we sang the Duffy song. Then the actors preformed for us.
Lastly the Duffy group held a question and answer session.
I thought the Duffy song was my favorite because I haven't sang this song in a long time.
From the chapter 12-15 a Roald Dahl book it tells how Mr Twit's prank backfires and what their house and backyard looks like.
Mr Twit thought his prank would go well but it didn't. Mrs Twit decided to chew through the balloon strings so she would float down. This solution worked but when she landed she was fuming at Mr Twit because of his prank.
Mr and Mrs Twit have a horrible house. When they built it they agreed to have no windows on this silly house. With the old looking garden it makes there house look silly that why there called the twits.
I like this book because the way they act and play pranks on each other. I also think more people should read this book.

How to solve division by following these steps:
1. You have to write how many objects you have.
2. You have to write who your sharing it with.
3. Next you write how many you and that person have.
4. Lastly you have to write the algorithm. For example: 20 ÷ 2 = 10.
For example: I have 20 sandwiches. I divided them between myself and Chisa. We each got 10 sandwiches. 20 ÷ 2 = 10
L.I to divided objects evenly
Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby.
First we learnt how to tap the ball, catching, and pass the ball.
Afterwards we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching.
I really like this rugby game because these basic skills are good for kids to learn.

This week for inquiry we needed to make this experiment precise.
For this experiment we needed a certain type of material my group needed nappy brand 2.
Next we had two pour 100ml of water onto the nappy.
Then we lifted the nappy to see if any water wasn't absorbed. All the water was absorbed. This experiment was successful.
This experiment was fun i'd like to do it again with paper towels.
LI: to learn and practice experimental methods.
The first activity Year 5 did was body parts. For example mouth would be waha. This activity was difficult because there were lots of words most of us don't know.
Divison is sharing an amount of things among people. For example 12 ÷ 2 = 6 the original amount is 12 the number of groups is 2 the group size is 6.
This slide shows some more examples for divison.
L.I to solve a multiplication word problems with a factor greater than 10.
To solve a maths problem that is outside of the times tables, there are 6 steps to follow. The first step is to write a number sentemce.
Then you have to break up the bigger number. For example 13 = 10 + 6.
The third step is multiply the smaller number. For example: 10 x 3=30 6 x 4=24
