Water safety

LS1 and I went to the pools.

First we learned how to get into the pool safely. We had to put our hands on the side and get into the pool. The first part ended when we got into the pool.

Next we jumped up and down and blew bubbles. Then we swam into a hoop and got on board. We had to go into the tunnel like a crocodile.

Last I got a noodle float and acted like a seahorse. We also floated on our back with the board. Finally we went into the hoop without the swimming board.

I learned a lot about how to float, and how to swim like a crocodile. I think I should try and swim without the swimming board.

Party Popper Design

Arty Rocky Crafters and I made our design of the party popper.

First we chose the party popper design of what our design should be on our party popper.  For Example I will choose a turtle as my design and practise drawing the turtle. Then we cut the turtle out and stick the turtle to the cup.  The first part ended by finishing deciding our drawing.

Next I drawed the picture and coloured the picture for more colour.  The second part ended when we showed the teacher our design.

Finally I put the right amount of filling and put our party popper together before testing our party popper.  The last part ended by taking a photo and a video.

I really enjoyed making the same party popper again and again. I think I need more practise with putting the pieces together.

Party Popper Prototype

My group Arty Rocky Crafters designed the party popper prototype.

In the beginning, I chose the parts of the party popper that we would put together to make our prototype. For example I choose the small rubber band instead of the big rubber band because the small rubber band shoots more confetti out. We finished when choosing all of the parts.

Next we got our parts and designed our prototype.

To finish up we designed our prototype and took a picture.

I learned a lot about designing our prototype. Next time I could try different parts of the party popper.
    
LI: to make a prototype for testing.

Revising

I revised who is my friend, who is my teacher, who is my mum, and who is my dad. Ko wai to hoa? Ko wai o mahita? Ko wai to mama? Ko wai to papa?

First I revised some questions.

Next I answered new questions.

Then I wrote the name of the 3 things. For example There is 1 picture and I have to write the object name in maori.

Lastly I played a memory game. The rules for the memory game is you have to find a matching picture and say the word of matching picture in maori.

I enjoyed this activity because I revised the question I already answered.

Balancing

 I learned how to balance when using table tennis equipment.

First I learned how to hold the bat. We have to hold the bat like we are shaking someone's hand.

Next I bounced the table tennis ball with the table tennis racket by holding the racket forehand. I got 3 bounces.

Then I bounced a ball by holding the racket backhand. I got 7 bounces.

After I balanced the table tennis ball on the table tennis bat. I found it hard because the ball keep rolling on the table tennis racket.

Lastly I played the table tennis game. You have to drop the table tennis ball and hit the tennis ball with 1 bounce in my side and 1 bounce to the other side of the table.

I think it was hard because I keep on missing the ball when I was bouncing the tennis ball with the tennis racket.
