M&M's

This week, LS2 have been using M&M's to solve basic maths problems. For this activity we needed to solve the problems in the the group we were split in. In my group there was Mele, Jack, Junior and Jay-Don.  I learnt that M&M's was made in March 3rd 1941. The hardest thing to solve this task was finding a percentage of each color. 

Food Tech

Today we had our 5th session of food tech with Mrs Tuipolotu. We were really excited to make muffins because this was our second time cooking it, and we know how delicious they are. We followed the 3 instructions that were compulsory which is follow the instructions, correctly measure the ingredients and being able to read the ingredients properly. I worked with Josh S to cook 12 chocolate chip muffins and we enjoyed cooking together. Thank you to Mrs Tuipolotu for teaching us how to cook Chocolate Chip Muffins.

HIIT

Today for our HIIT session we were doing something a bit different from what we usually do. First everyone needed to get into pairs and join up with another two pairs. In my group there was Mataio, Tiava, Zane, Lyric and Affonso. In this session we were going in a circuit doing push ups, pull ups and squats. Each person would do three sets of all the exercises. I found this session a lot better because everyone was getting puffed really fast and it also helped us with our upper body strength. Tiava and I really supported each other in during the exercises and made sure we were doing it the correct way. 

How Much Money?

This week for maths we were doing a different word problem that linked to fractions. Before we started we needed to into partners. My partner was Alex. Alex and I solved this problem really easily because we did word problems like this before, and that helped us out. 

Kiwi Can Reflection

This week at Kiwi Can we were learning about values and qualities, such as Accountability, Did you know that Accountability means taking responsibility for your own actions. A person has Accountability for their actions and behavior, sometimes being accountable means admitting you have made a mistake. At our school we can show this by bringing our P.E gear, and deodorant for our sports sessions. For our challenges we played a game called copy me. The goal for this game was to get the most amount cards. But, to get a card we first needed to complete some actions that our leader did. At the end everyone tried really hard but my group was victorious. The next activity we did was called 2 truths 1 lie. In this game we were to guess someones lie and two truths that they say. The reason we did this activity is because we wanted to see how it feels to open up when you tell a lie. By doing that we were showing Accountability. I enjoyed this Kiwi Can session and I hope next week is even better.

Math man - Fractions

Today for maths we were to play a game on fractions. This game is like PACMAN but the maths version. I found this game awesome because it really helped me boost my strength on fractions.

Comrades Marathon

This week for reading our task was to research about the Comrades Marathon. But first we were told to get into a mixed group of boys and girls. Since their were no more girls left our group had 3 boys and 1 girl. My partners were Alex, Viva and Jericho. I found this task fun and interesting because I did not know anything about the Comrades Marathon. But after researching I learnt lots of fascinating things. Did you that an ultra marathon is double the length of a normal marathon.
