Kiwi Sport| Rippa Rugby

This term for Kiwi Sport we are doing Rippa Rugby. In today's session we were separated into 3 groups, which was Blue, Green and another team which had no rippers. Fist we played a warm up game called octopus. In that game there was one person in the middle and he had to try to rip the tag off the runners. Then we moved on to a game of Rippa Rugby. I found this session of Rippa Rugby fun because I got learn more about the sport and improved on my passing. Thank you to Hamish for coaching us.

First Rugby Match In New Zealand

In Poetry this week we have been learning about a ballad poem and a pioneer named Charlotte Ann. After we were to create a Dlo about something special that happened in the 1870's. Ofa, Miki, Aung Naing and I chose to research about the first rugby match that was played in New Zealand. I learnt that back in 1870 they had 18 player on the field and now we only have 15 players. In our dlo we tried to make a GIF and it didn't turn out to be as good as we thought it would be, but at least we tried. 

Ballad Poem

This week our class has been focusing on poetry. We were learning about a ballad poem called our heritage. Once we listened we used the six thinking hats to explore more about the poem. Ofa, Miki, Aung Naing and I worked really hard to make sure we wrote everything in our own words and made sure we answered the questions. I learnt what a ballad poem is. A ballad poem is a poem that tells a story. I found out that a bullocky is an animal driver.

Fence Post: Problem

Today during maths we were to finish off tasks we did not finish either this week's tasks, or the previous weeks tasks. In this problem we needed to find out how many corner posts and regular posts would Savelina have to buy to enclose two adjacent paddocks. We found this task quite easy and hard at the same time because there were some bits that we struggled with, like writing a blurb in the DLO. Although in the end we solved it. We learnt a new word, adjacent. It means something or someone next to each other. For this activity, I worked with Jack, Sanujan, and Ofa.

Salary Problem

This week for maths we were finishing maths task that we didn't get to do before. In this task we were to solve a word problem that involves money. Mataio and I worked collaboratively to solve this. I found this task quite easy because it mostly involved addition. Maybe next time I could try and use my times tables to solve it. 

Fake IPhone Messages

Today for writing we were making our own conversations using a website called IPhone Fake Text. Once we finished our conversation we were to use punctuation that we would use in a story. We also needed to make sure we didn't use TV characters and our real names. This was a different and fun activity that I really enjoyed.
