Buddy reading

Today in the afternoon room 3 and 4 came to LS2 for buddy reading. My buddy was named Pati he is from room 4, we read a book named Early bird. This story was about a cat named Slinky Malinki, he wakes up very early in the morning. What he does is he tries to wake up the family but they would not wake up, he tried something else he pounced on their toes, sat on their head, sang yowly songs and he does other silly things to wake them up. They wake up and tell slinky malinki "let us sleep in peace for an hour or 2." Slinky Malinki tries something else like he bounces on their feet and other silly things, then they wake up and go down stairs, and slinky malinki waited and waited then went to bed. I asked my partner some questions about the story then it was time for them to go. I really enjoyed them coming.

Book Character Parade

Book Character Parade

Today the whole school went over to the hall for Book Character Parade. We were doing book character week because we wanted to bring the magic of books alive. Their was alot of students and teachers dressed up for the book character parade. The first character that went up was Gangster Granny, she gave out books to the juniors. Then all the teachers had to go up and have their photos taken, then room 1, 2, 3, and 4 had to go up on the stage and have their photos taken. When every body in costume finished having their photo taken, the bunny from Alice in the wonderland came in with a letter, Mrs Anderson read the letter. We all enjoyed going to the Book Character parade because we got to bring the magic of books alive.

Reading: Advertising - Afu, Paige, Jasmine, Gozan

Yesterday for Reading LS2 had to create a DLO with 25 words and some photos. This DLO shows what we think advertising is, we could only write 25 words not 24 or not 26 just 25 words. We had to find some pictures to put on this DLO. What I enjoyed about this was our challenge, our challenge  was to walk back and forwards to tell the writer what was on the paper that they had to write, we also had to write the correct punctuation.

Attributing Photos - Afu

Today for Inquiry I created a DLO about attributing photos. This DLO has photos from the Olympics 2016, LS2 were learning how to attribute photos. I had to search up a photo, like 2016 Rio Olympic logo. Then I clicked search tools and clicked labelled for reuse, because if you don't do that that, it is stealing someone else's photo they have created. I found a photo and clicked on it, then I clicked on visit page and I had to find the license to show that you had permission.

Orienteering - Afu

Today Leon came into our class for our last session of orienteering. When Leon finished talking to us we had to go down to the junior playground where Elaina (Irine's daughter) was so she could give us the map. I chose to work by myself because it was easier and you don't need to wait for anyone in your team. There was 2 courses one on the field and one by the court I started on course 1, I had to wait 40 minutes till I could run to my first control. I waited for 40 minutes then Leon told me I could go, I looked at my map to find my first destination ( A ), I found it, the first control was in the parking lot out side the school. I had trouble trying to find it, I looked at my map again then I found it, I pushed the control down onto my paper then I went to my second destination. When I finished finding all 11 controls on the first course I went to Elaina for the next map ( course 2 ), I looked on the map for the first control of course 2 then I found it, it was at the back of rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4. When I finished the course I ran to Elaina and she wrote the time on the paper, it said 22:30. I could of done better by running faster. I enjoyed the last session of orienteering, and I thank Leon, Elaina, and Irine for coming to our school and doing orienteering.

Life Education - Afu

Today in the afternoon I was working on my life education booklet. Our booklets show us what kind of decisions to make and it has the names of some of the body systems in our body is. I chose to do page eleven, it is about making decisions. What I had to do was to tick the boxes the first one was, which movie to see? then it said no-one, parents, brother/sister, best friend, media ( advertisements ), law, granddads, and teacher, I chose Parents because they chose what movie I can and see. I enjoyed doing this because it helped me make wise decisions and it shows that my parents decides on most of the things I do. 

Reading: Deduction - Afu

Today for reading I played a game called deduction. What I had to do was go to the scrap yard then the cinemas, and meet my friends at the skate park using only 5 sections of the road, then I clicked go. When I finished it told me I did great. I enjoyed playing this game because it's challenging, because you have to choose what path to take.
