Animal Town

 

This week we have been doing pobbles. The date for this pobble was April the 1st. This was fun to do by coming up with your own ideas in the story. One thing that was hard was coming up with the start of the story and when someone would talk to you and then you can't get that idea you had back.

Snowman writing

 

Today when the year sevens left we did a pobble about snowman. First I did the snowman then the writing. I liked doing the snowman because it's your own thing now copying. I didn't like thinking about what to write because it took half the time that was boring.

Diwali

  Today, when the year sevens went to tech the year sixes had to do research about Diwali and also create your own Rangoli pattern mine, didn't turn out how I wanted it. Miss Farr said that this is her favorite tradition, that's the reason we did it. I liked making my own Rangoli pattern because you got to choose how you did it and what colours. What I didn't like was getting the fact and writing it because it took about 20 minutes just doing that plus an extra 5 for the Rangoli pattern.

How to play rugby league

NRL Rugby league

NRL was invented in December 1997 in Australia.

Rugby league takes 80 minutes to play for the whole game but it's played in 40-minute halves. When you play rugby league there should be 13 on the field. The positions are number 1 fullback, number 2 right-wing, number 3 right center, number 4 left center, number 5 left wing, number 6 five-eighth, number 7 half-back, number 8 left prop, number 9 hooker [my position], number 10 right prop, number 11 second row, number 12 second row and lastly number 13 lock forward.

The equipment is

1. One league ball

2. A pair of football boots

3. mouthguard

4. Headgear [if you want]

Rules of the game 

At the start of the game, you kick at halfway or when a point is scored. When you pass the ball it needs to go backward, if it goes forward it will be a hand over for a forward pass. You can pass the ball as much as you want until you or someone in your team gets tackled. You need to tackle below the shoulders, if you tackle higher than the shoulders it's will be a penalty. From a penalty, you could ever kick it out on the full, take the tap and run or go for a kick-off a tee. There are six tackles on last if you get tackled on the sixth run it's a handover. you can kick the ball whenever you want to kick but it's better when you kick on last. When you get tackled you have to play the ball, play the ball is where you stand up place the ball on the ground, and roll it back with your foot to the hooker. The hooker should stand behind you when you get tackled. The hooker will pick the ball up and pass it to the five eight and he will pass again to the runner. If your team is on defense once someone has made a tackle you have to go back 10 meters or you will be called offside and it would be a penalty. when your team kicks the ball you need to be behind the kicker to be onside, once he has kicked it you can chase it. Penalties can be awarded if there is a foot trip, high tackle, or if you are offside. If you get tackled in your own goal it's a drop out to the other team. If you get held up before you put the ball down to score you go back five meters.

Aim of the game and how the scoring works

A try is worth four points, a conversion is worth two points conversion is when someone scores a try they kick over the post if they miss they still get the ball off the kick-off at halfway. There is a drop goal for one point and you get the ball again from the kickoff. The aim of the game is to get the most points.

Japanese writing

Japan is a small island nation with a large population. It’s well known for its bustling cities and its specific fashion crazes.

Location

The small island in the pacific ocean off mainland Asia. Made up of 6,900 islands which about the 11th largest population in the world. Tokyo was known as Edo a small castle town in the 16th century. Edo became Japan’s political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. 

Edo was renamed Tokyo. Japan is made up of 6,900 islands but not all of them have people living on them. Although Japan is small it has the 11th largest population in the world.

Japanese sports

Japan plays sports such as Sumo, Kendo, Judo, Yabusame, Aikido and Karate.

Japans population

The population of Japan on the 1st of September was 125,838,814 and the next day it was 125,813 so that means that one person died than was born.

Culture and tradition

Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping. Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center. Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the great Kanto earthquake in 1923 and also got destroyed it the air raids in 1945 22 years later. Early Japanese culture was influenced by China.

The Japanese Archipelago had been inhabited for at least 30,000 years. From the 6th to the 8th century it was one of the greatest exchanges between the Yamato court. About a hundred years or so years ago after the foundation of Kyoto, the court stooped its practice of sending emissaries to China. Edo was a small place with no people in it, but then a thew decades later Edo had grown into one of the most populated places in the world. There was, and still is a little fishing village in Edo that has been there for centuries.  

 This week my class did word of the week. What I liked about doing this activity was researching and getting a photo. What I didn't like about doing this activity was trying to think of a sentence that makes sence. 

chose your own adventure story

WALT Plan and make a pick a path story. This week we have been working on making a pick a path story. We all started with making a plan but our plan was the same so we would have around about similar stories. I really enjoyed this because when it's finished it ends up really cool because you get to choose where you want to go and do. What I found challenging was that everything was confusing because you had to link the slides.

That was my poem about fortnite. This was fun because you had to think of words. And what was the hardest was getting 2,4,6,8,2 syllables.

poem writing

Today we as a class are learning to write poems with onomatopoeia, onomatopoeia is the use of a word or words which sound like what they are describing. E.g. crash, buzz, smash, woof. And this is my poem I wrote,

Water drips from the roof of the house,
drip, drip, drip, drip
the water goes off the roof,
you can hear it here and even other there
you can hear it everywhere,
now the leaves are dropping from the trees.

Character profile

Today we are learning to create our own stories. what I liked about it is the drawing. what I found challenging is the name of the character trying to find a name. next time I would put some colour in.

Story tellers

we made a story map of an obstacle in our lives

If I was one of nine children

If I was one of nine children I would be happy that one of my brothers or sisters could help me do my homework and stuff like that. If I was one of nine children it would be annoying because when we have dinner there will probably be not enough food for everyone.

A house or a home

The wharepuni sides of the roof goes down to the ground. the similarities that there are door and windows.

my holidays

On my Holidays Braye, Lakyn, mum, dad and I went to Hokitika and did the treetop walk. On the large tower, I had a booklet and said to mum can I drop it down to you and she said yes so I dropped it and it landed in a tree but we still had one more.

Matariki

We have been learning about Matariki. My class read the book about the 7 Matariki stars and we did a story map about the 7 Matariki stars. We did maths stars too. My favorite learning thing I have done is maths stars.
