Table Tennis

We did a range of activities based on Table Tennis. 

First, we practised doing the forehand. This skill was basicly acting like your hand and placing my index finger on the other side of the racket.

Next, I practised bouncing a ball on the racket using the forehand skill. The bounces I got in total was 35.

After, I practised bouncing the ball but using the backhand. This skill was basicly in the same position but at chest height.

Lastly, I did a drop serve. A drop serve is using the forehand technique but placing it in the position where your belly is. Then I bounced the ball once and hit the ball over the net. 

This activity was fun because I learnt the basic skills of Table Tennis.

Questions

I revised questions from this term.

First, I wrote who are my friends, who are my teachers, and who are my parents.

Next, I revised Tēnei, Tēnā, Tērā.

Lastly, we played memory with a bunch of real cards that we had to match and name in Maori

I enjoyed this task because I increased my knowledge of Maori words.

Table Mat Information

I used skimming and scanning on a text called Killer Quakes.

Ths text was about earthquakes that have killed people in the past. This text also shows information about a Sesimograph. 

First, we used skimming and scanning to apply the information in our table mat. Skimming is flying over the text to find the keywords. Scanning is being like a helicopter and hover over the specific information that is important.

Then, I put my results onto a table mat. I put all my facts from the book in chronological order. I used scanning to search for my information because I had to think with my group and agree with the information we had.

I enjoyed this task beause we continued with previous lessons from the past couple of weeks.

 

How long does it take to recycle paper?

I used three reading stratigies to create a timeline about how long does it take to recycle paper.

First, I used the reading stratigies skimming and scanning to search for my information. After I searched for my information, I put together my information in chronological order.

After, I created my timeline. My main points was recycled, recovery centre, the paper mill, and the product. Then I wrote extra information for the main points.

I enjoyed this task because I used skimming and scanning to find my specific information.

Measurement-Length

I learnt about measuring length.

First, I had to figure out what does the length equal, the abbreviation, and extra information. For example: Millimeters: 10 millimeters = 1 centimeter. The abbreviation for this word is MM. Did you know that millimeters is about as thick as an American dime?

After, I had to estimate an object and then actually measure it with a ruler.

This activity was interesting because I learnt about length units and non length units.

Balancing | Frisbe activites

We did a range of activites based on using a frisbe.

First, we practised throwing the frisbee sideways. Our right leg was facing forward and our left leg was backwords. Then, we threw the frisbee slowley and after we released the frisbe, our hand was facing to our target. This means that we were accurate enough to through the frisbe to our partner.

Next, we practised fetch. One person was throwing and one person was acting like a dog. The main point of this activity was about stopping our body when we catch the frisbee.

Afterwards, we did the same process as the dog activity but we had to throw it at a goal. The main point of this activity was about to catch the frisbee and get in the right position to throw the frisbe in the goal.

Lastly, we played netball but using a frisbee.

The netball activity was hard because people were calling out and shouting and I was confused who to pass it to.

Asking Qestions

I continued translating questions and answers in Maori.

First, we revised the questions. "Kei hea te aporo? Kei roto i te peke."

After, I copied and pasted the questiosn from my google document to a google slides and add pictures for proof.

This activity was easy because I finished my task on time.
