HIIT

Today for HIIT we were squats and squat jumps. Mr O challenged us to put on our heart rate monitors on in 30 seconds and he put a timer on to time us for how long we took.  To get our energy levels up we played a game of " Feno Feno ". We listened to music while we did the exercising so we could get more motivation. We had a stop watch and a speaker. We had 30 seconds of squat's , 45 seconds of rest, then 30 seconds of squat jumps and the rotation went on and on the whole time. Our aim was to get our heart monitors to red so we could be puffing. This is really fun and I like doing it every week. 

Kiwi Sport Reflection

Today for Kiwi Sport we did Rip Rugby. We learned how to pass the ball to each other while running. Hamish told us if our rip's get ripped of we have to pas the ball to our team mates either from the back or from the side not from the front. The boys also had to pass the to a girl either during the game or when you wanted to score. We had three different teams green, blue and blue. This week was really fun and I can't wait till next week. Thanks to Hamish for teaching us and Mrs Morris for coming with us.

I worked with Farzana, Victoria and Savelina. We decided we were going to help you learn about the days of the week in Samoan. We had some help from Angela and Junior the Samoan experts in our classroom. This was a really fun thing to do and I learned a lot Samoan and and it's great language and I hope you learned a lot to. I want to thank Angela and Junior for helping us and Mrs Anderson for teaching more Samoa.

9 x and 10 x times table strategy

Today for Mathematics I made a DLO that explained the strategy that I learned to solve the 9 x times table by using the 10 x times table. In my DLO I solved 9 x 9 and the answer to that is 81. By using the 10 x  times table I added 9 and 10 which equaled up to 90. Then I subtracted 9 from 90 and I ended up with the answer 81. I ended up with the answer that I got when I started the sum in the beginning. This is a easier way to solve your 9 x times table by using your 10 times table. It's a cool trick I learned that will really help me in Mathematics. I hope you learned a easier strategy to help you solve your 9 x times table. 

Read Theory Progress

Today I found out my progress for read theory. The three best results that I got was 100 % which was on the story about Clown fish, in my second highest I got 83 %  in the story about wisdom teeth and in third and final story I got 71 %.  In the rest of the stories that I have read I have not done the best I could do but I will do my best to get 100 % or either 90 % in every quiz I read. What I will remember to do next time is to go back and re - read my story to be sure of my answer.
