Reading | Inferring

Inferring is using your prior knowledge to figure something out

To infer start with trying to understand the image, for example if someone was trying to infer a few things about this image:

First, someone uses their prior knowledge, for example, someone might know this person is in a relay race. Someone would also know that this person has the legs in the ready position.

If people would know all of that then they would be able to make a inferring statement like this:

Someone is getting ready to run in a relay race.

Comment Thread | Commenting

This week for commenting thread I commented on Te Raumati's blog post on her geometric masking art. 

My question for her was "What was the hardest part and why?". I liked how she explained how to make the geometric masking art. 

Go check out more of her blog post - http://pbsteraumati.blogspot.com/

 

Basic Fact Boxes | Maths

I completed my basic facts task. Basic Fact boxes are used to record your maths skills. The basic facts go up to one hundred. I went up to 20 in addition and it took me three minutes and twenty two seconds. When I do my basic facts again I am going to go up to 20 still but I will do addition and subtraction.

SSR Selfie

Today I completed the SSR selfie task. The SSR Selfie task is used to retell or summarise a book. The book I read was "Family Friends and Furry Creatures. This book was about how Tom made his own furry creature and when his mother woke up and had fur on her face. To find more information about the book look at the DLO.

Maori | 10 Pipiri LS1

In Maori we were making number chart. The number chart was used to write down the number translated into Maori.

To write numbers in Maori the place value has to be set, for example, if I wrote 20 it would be rua tekau because "rua" is two and "tekau" is the tens, so rua tekau means two groups of tens.

I enjoyed writing the numbers in Maori.

Volleyball | Kiwisport

In volleyball the set position is the the ready position.

To set the ball put the hands above the head  

When setting the ball to the opponent bend the legs to keep balanced.

Keep one foot in front of the other to get ready to set the ball to the opponent.
















When someone sets the ball it should always end in the set position on top of an head.

Masking Art | Geometric

We were learning about geometric masking art. Masking means to hiding or covering something and geometric means basic shapes such as simple curves and simple lines.

We practiced sectioning off parts on an Google Drawing. Next we started on our real copy of the geometric art. We figured out where we were going to section off parts. 

After I sectioned off the parts, I coloured in the sections. The colours I used were, black, peach ,light blue, orange, brown, pink, purple & yellow.

I enjoyed colouring in the sectioned parts, this activity was fun.
