I found it hard to find out our monthly points.
I found it easy to take a selfie.
My DLO shows that I can take a screenshot of this google drawing.

Pattern Ball - P.E.
We are learning to communicate and work as a team.
We weren't allowed to pass to the person right next to us, so we had to work out a pattern that would work out for everyone by passing it, and sitting down when we already recieved the ball. We also had to think ahead.
Ball 1 - Netball, chest pass.
Ball 2 - Bounce pass.
Ball 3 - rugby pass, low at the hip.
To communicate, we had to call each others name.
I found it tricky to upload the video.
I found it easy to show teamwork.

I found it easy to do a Flipgrid.
I found nothing hard.

Matariki
WALT use visual language.
For writing we are learning about Matariki.
I found it hard to write about the nine stars.
I found it easy to write about what happens and Matariki.
I tried to use subheadings.
What is Matariki?
Matariki is the Maori name for the 9 sisters and cluster of stars that appear during June and July. It was a time for family, food, games, and haka. Our ancestors used it to predict the weather- if it was hard to see the stars separately it meant that they would not have much harvest. However, if the stars were easily seen by the naked eye, it meant the crops would flourish and they would have lots of food.
Maori use the Maori calendar, not the European calendar, so the dates for Matariki change every year.
The Matariki Legends
Other parts of the world see Matariki, but they see a different perspective. The Japanese see 5 stars and call it “Subaru.” In Greece they call it “Pleiades.” In the Maori culture Matariki is the Mother of the 8 daughters, also part of the nine stars.
The Nine Stars of Matariki
Matariki is the star that represents reflection, hope, and the gathering of people. She is also part of the health of people.
Pohutukawa is the star connected to the ones that have passed away.
Wati, the twin of Waita is the star connected to fresh water, as in, rivers, lakes, and also the animals that live in them.
Twin of Wati, Waita is the star connected with the ocean and the seafood within it.
Waipuna-a-rangi is connected to the rain.
Tupuanuku is connected with everything that grows in the earth and is harvested.
Tupuarangi is connected with things that grow in the trees, like manu (birds) and berries.
Ururangi is the star associated with the wind.
Hiwa-i-te-rangi is the star connected with granting our wishes.

Summer Learning Journey
Last summer I signed up for the summer blogging program.
We had tasks set for each week, and I came 2nd Place!
I found it hard to keep up with the work.
I enjoyed the summer learning programme and want to do it again next year.
I also won a Endeavour Boombox.
Here is my badge.

Times Tables
For Maths we are learning our times tables.
We will learn 2 each week.
This week I am learning
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 3 = 27
All the highlighted ones are the ones I know.
What are YOU learning in maths?

Ahmet's Journey Comic Strip
WALT use visual language feature such as pictures, text boxes, and speech bubbles.
I found it hard to find pictures of Syrian boys.
I found it easy to do the actual comic strip because I read a lot of graphic novels.
My digital learning object shows I can insert a slide and use shapes and pictures.
Next time I would try to make it more detailed.

Fight Scene Comic Strip
I made a Comic strip for the boy the back of the classroom tasks.
It was about the fight scene when Brendan wanted Ahmet's pomegranate and then they got into a big fight.
My digital learning object shows that I can take a photo and put it on my blog.
I found it hard to do a comic strip quickly I found it easy to draw.

Corpus Christi
We are learning about transubstantiation and Corpus Christi.
Corpus Christi is Latin for the Body of Christ.
Transubstantiation is when the wine and bread are converted into Jesus' body.
I found it easy to find Transubstantiation.
I found it hard to finish it quickly.
My digital learning object shows I can find the definition of words digitally.
Next time I would put more detail.

Helps and Hinders for Refugees
I found it hard to understand what hinder meant.
I found it easy to think of things that made it hard for refugees.
WALT combine sources of information, with developing confidence, and expressing ideas.

Gravity
WALT organise text into paragraphs.
We are learning about gravity in writing.
Here is my explanation.
Imagine you tripped up and your lunchbox flies out of your hand. What happens to it?
The lunchbox falls down. Why? The lunchbox fell down because of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls us back down to earth, unlike space. For example, pretend you have a slinky attached to your shoes. It allows you to jump up! But… eventually fall back down.
Gravity is a natural force that keeps us on the ground instead of floating off into space. A force pushes or pulls when it acts against an object. It can cause an object to move or change direction.
Gravity is like invisible super glue that keeps us all on earth. You can’t see it, but it’s always there.
There once was a man called Isaac Newton.
He was the first person to really study gravity.
You might’ve heard this story when Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree and an apple fell and hit him on the head. Boink! He wondered, why doesn’t the apple float up, or fall sideways? That’s when he made up the three laws of Newton.
The first law was that an object will stay there unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. The second law is force equals mass equals acceleration, meaning the more force, there’s more mass, which is the object of matter, equals more speed. The 3rd law of motion is for every action there is an opposite reaction, like if you push a chair, it will move, which is the reaction.
Squash a boink down and will bounce up. The more pressure you put on it the higher it will bounce but also, fall back down because of the cause of gravity.
If you invert a dropper popper, it will activate it. Dome-down, with a ping pong ball, it will fly into the air when it hits ground, it will revert and launch the ping pong ball. It will go in the air but gravity will still take hold of it and fall back down.
What happens when you throw a ball up, sideways, or down? The answer is the same. It will still stay in the air for a while, but then, once again, go back down.
So, no matter where you throw a ball, its going down. Gravity is cause and effect. It will cause objects on earth to stay on the ground, like us!. You will get an opposite reaction, which is Newton’s 3rd law of motion. An object comes back down on earth, no matter what.

Flexi physics: Boinks and Dropper Poppers
For science we you read the next permanent with boinks which is like Chinese finger trap and dropper poppers.
My digital learning object shows that I can put a screenshot on my blog. I found it hard to work out how to use a dropper poppper I found it easy to use the boink.
Here is a video of a droppper popper.
