Labeling

Today for reading our group Ponui and Pakatoa have been learning how to lable the parts of pages in a non - fiction book. The first two we did was with Miss Kirkpatrick then we did one together as a group. It was really easy to do. Today I learnt that an inset is a small graphic representation such as a map, picture, or a piece of writing set within a page.

Wheel Words

Today for reading our group did wheel words. When we play wheel words we set a timer to ten minutes, and that's all the time we get to find as many words as we can. I found eight out of thirty five 8/35 words, I think thirty five words are a lot of words to find in ten minutes. I managed to find 4/12 four letter words, 3/11 five letter words, 1/6 six letter words.

Rugby Union Competition

Yesterday we went to the Rugby Union Interschool competition, we played five games and only lost one which was against Pt. England, the rest of the games we had one. The school's we played were
Pt. England, Glenn Innes, St Pierres, Pt England Barbarian, and Bailey Road School, the best game we played was against St Pierres because we scored 11 - 2 agianst them. Our first game we played which was against Pt. England was the hardest game we played out of the five different schools we played. At rugby union my goal was to score at least one try and I achieved that goal by putting as much effort in as I can. Yesterday I really enjoyed playing against the other schools and I also enjoyed playing a good, fair, and fun game.

Orchestra

Today students from LS2 went to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra Hall to watch a performance by the Auckland Dance Project, St Kents/Ngatapawae, Opera singer, and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra group. The Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra group played three pieces of music and one of the pieces were fimiliar because it was called Romeo & Juliet. In these performences there were four different Sections or Instruments that were played which were the Brass, Woodwind, String, and the percussion family. When we were at the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra Town Hall, the thing that caught my eye was the lights and also these big gigantic tube instrument things at the back of the hall. My favourite part of this experience was when a opera singer came out and sung an opera song, This was my first time going on this trip but.

VR Research

Today was a specail day for LS2, we were visited by Yvonne and her research team from the Augmented human lab at Auckland University because we got to use VR (Virtual Reality). Yvonne and her research team came to run some tests on us and because it was to use VR (Virtual Reality) for future learning. The tools we used to help us today were VR cardboard and magic window. with these tools we did some pretty fun activities with them.

Division Recap

Today for maths we did a division recap on a birthday party, our task was to divide different eqautions and make them equally the same. My partner Chris and I found this task easy and fun to do. I enjoyed making the DLO with my partner and I enjoyed working out the answers.

Read Theory Results

Today for reading we have been looking at our read theory results and we have been looking at how far we have got in our progress levels, these are my read theory results, I'm not impressed with my results because I went from level two to level three to level four then I went back down to level two. This term my goal for read theory is to get to level four and consistantly strive to achive it.
