Reading


For the past few weeks we have been learning about pigeons, in reading we have been spilt into 4 groups our group is called "D group". In our group we have been working collaboratively and getting on task. In our group was Jessie,Jane,Latham,Harlem,Ma'ata,Juanita,Lyndon and I. Basically we were deciding if "Pigeons are pest or Pigeons are special?" for our group we thought that pigeons are special and some say 50/50 because pigeons were helpful in the WW1
(World War 1) by sending messages. There was one pigeon called Cher Ami she saved 947 soldiers in the war but now pigeons guano is everywhere and

Hockey

Hockey today was really interesting and fun we all participated and joined in. 
Then hold the coloured bit with our right hand, we had to move the ball side to side with the hockey stick. Then we had played a game called traffic lights, there was 6 different colours. Green - dribble the ball, Orange - stand still and move the ball side to side with the stick, Red - stop and make sure the ball is still, Purple - move backwards while dribbling the ball, Silver - dribble the ball fast, Blue - use the stick to move the ball by spinning. When we played that we had to play a game of hockey, we had to try and get the ball in between the cones. Then we had to hold the ball in our right hand, and the stick in our left hand, then we had to throw the ball and hit it with the stick. I enjoyed our first session of hockey. We had to dripple the ball and also stop the ball when we had to. We had a small game of octopus and ball rush it was really interesting because everyone was joining in.

Paper Plane



Today we have been flying our paper planes. We had to work collaboratively. We had to pick what we liked from there planes then make it into one plane. We had a pretty long plane but it didn't go as far as  we would like it to but either way it was not as bad as we thought it would be.

Timeline



This timeline is about Kingsford - Smith. I had to compare it between Jean Battens there was the time differences and the events that happened in their life. We had to make sure the dates were accurate. I used a website called popplet because it was an easy way of using it.  I hope you learn something in this timeline about Kingsford - Smith.


Muti-Modal



We are really thankful that Mrs Anderson created this learning site because it is a easy way to find our learning. It is easy to find were we need to go and what we need to do. This layout is really helpful and less stressful because we don't have to go through every page on a google presentation. This was really great and really interesting because it is really awesome way to do our learning. Thank you Mrs Anderson for putting in the extar work.




Paper Planes


Yesterday we were trailing how a paper plane works. Our task was a silent task where no one could speak. We were getting our instructions from a presentation we all had to read the instruction's properly.  We all had to work collaboratively. Our first challenge was to search the internet for ideas which we all did and then we created it ourselves.
