Softball

LI: To learn new skills. Today we had kiwi sport with Allison. First we had to partner up with someone and line up. So you have to be standing next to your partner not infront  of them or behind. The people on the left side of the line had to be fielders and the right side was batting. when you are a fielder and you get the ball then put it on the cone you have to sit so every fielder can have a turn so as the batters. After that we swapped and did the same. We had to remember that our little knuckles aligned and hands together. Feet shoulder width apart, elbows up. Whenever you bat you don't let go of the bat with one hand. After that we played A game called 4 corners. So Allison was in the middle. She will have her eyes closed. We had to go find a base and stand there still while she is closing her eyes counting to 5. she would hear not see what base is the loudest so we had to be very quiet. I she say's first base the people on first base are out.

Place Value

So Today I had to watch a video about using place value. So This is how I did it:

I started with the 1’s. I took away 5 from the 6 and it was 1. Then I took away 6 from the 7 which equals 1.

And then there was 8, 0  then since there was A 0 it was still 8. So add all those numbers together and it turned out to be 811.

So your feet has to be shoulder width apart, and your small knuckles has to be aligned, the bat on your shoulder, and also elbows up. Then when everyone had a turn batting we swap. When we bat and we run around the bases if you don't make it you stay at the base you are on then you wait for the other person to come so you can run and if you still don't make it your out. After that we had to get into a circle and hands on our knees. Then ash will throw the ball at any pof us but first she could fake her throw so someone can make their hands of their knees becasue if you take you hands of you knees but the ball didn't come to you your out. If you catch the ball but it falls out of your hands your out. After that we all lined up to go back to class.

Personal Recount

                     Art Intensive week

Last week was art intensive week for the whole school. LS1 Did pop art and used Andy Warhol for an example of what type of art we were gonna do. We had to do art for the whole entire week. We did the art in LS1. Art intensive week was for the whole school.

First we had to get into groups of three and in those groups of three we had to make a DLO about Andy Warhol. We had to do it on a Google Draw. We had to use the LS1 print design rules. We read some information about Andy Warhol and watched a video about him with his artwork. I worked with Charlize and Kaitlyn.

Next when we finished our Andy Warhol we had to get into the art. We had to get a image of ourselves that Mr Wong took of us and outline our face with a blue pen. So we had to mainly outline the black parts that show on the image of us. We had to outline our hair and face.

After we had to our image and outline our face again with a red pen but there has to be a specific piece of paper under it and when we do it again it will go on that piece of paper under our image. We had to make sure that we press hard with our red pen while we are tracing our face. We had to also make sure that everything we traced with blue pen has to be traced with red pen.

After that we had to get our pencil and put our image of ourselves on the window or door and trace our faces  on the back but moving our pencil side to side. We had to do it at the back of our image of us.

Finally when we were finished tracing with our red pen we had to take the paper under our image of our face and pastel every part that is shown white on our image of our face with a bright pastel colour. We had to make sure we don't go over the lines. Later we did painting. We had to paint every black part that has been shown on our image of our face with black paint. Then at the end our artwork was complete.

I felt really nervous when we were doing this because I felt like I was going to do a mistake while pasteling and tracing.  I thought I was going to go out of the lines while pasteling and while tracing I thought I was going to trace the wrong place or forget to trace some places on the image of me.

LI: To accurately use a range of simple complex and compound sentences. Today we had to make a recount about art week. We had to use complex and compound sentences. We used TREE to do our recount, Title, Reveal, Events, Ending. I learnt that a personal recount is about what happened to you and is in the past. I learnt this by making a recount with the purpose of sentences structure. I had to write the events in order, and for the reveal I had to do the 5 W's. At the end I had to do a personal reflection. A personal reflection is when you are saying how you felt and what you thought.

First round of scatter ball the batters have to bat two balls and if the fielders get the ball and put it on the cones and the batters are still running around the bases then they have to stop at one of the bases and wait til the next batter runs so they can run. The second round the batter only had to hit one ball and the same to wait at the base for the other person comes and runs so you can run.

Kiwi Sport Soft Ball

LI: To learn how to Bat.I learned about how to bat and how to hold the bat. To bat we have to look at the ball instead of looking where we want the bat to go. Our feet has to be shoulder width apart. We have to put the bat on our shoulder that has the hand we write with.I learned by playing a game called Scatter ball. So there is a some people who is fielding and some other people were batting. Every person got a turn to bat and be a fielder. Everyone tried their best and some people could hit the ball with the bat pretty far but not far away. When you bat your two softballs you have to run around as many times as you can and try touch the bases before the fielders put the two balls you hit on the cones. You can hit the softballs far away so it can be more time for us to run around as many times as possible.
