Kamusta bloggers, this will be my final dance blog for this term. I will be talking about everything I have learnt this term in dance. I had a wonderful teacher, Mrs.Clark. She has taught us many fun things in dance.

Our first lesson was all about air, feet and hand movements. We watched a video about movements, and people in wheelchairs doing dances. they were controlling their wheelchair and they were even attached to something so they could go up and down. It was very cool to watch and we even had to try and create a dance using air movements. We create our own dance in groups. I was in a group of four with my friends. We got to perform our short dance in front of our class and it was a very fun lesson. 8 minutes before the lesson ends we did a maori kind of dance/haka type of dance. Before we got out of class we had to name a kind of folk dance like tinikling,Itik Itik,ballet, haka, hip-hop and more. Here are some pictures of those dances.

Dance is a way to express yourself with movements that words can’t express. It’s fun and it involves a lot of creativity. It’s also a fun way to exercise.

For our second dance class we were in groups of four. We had to mirror what the leader did. We took turns on being the leader and choosing the steps our group had to mimic. The leader picked different air and feet movements. It was a really fun activity and it was really funny to see what the other groups were doing.

Another topic we had was about showing manaakitanga. Why should we show manaakitanga? Being a good audience includes listening and watching without making a huge noise, and respecting the performers up on the stage. Why should we show respect the performers? We should show them respect because it takes a whole lot of courage to go up on that stage to perform in front of many people. They take their time to practice the steps and show it on stage to entertain everyone.

We also did some dance while sitting down. But i prefer dancing while standing up. I prefer dancing standing up because you can express more with your feet and you can move around more.

Why is there dance in musicals?

Pairing the dance with the music is a fun thing to watch. It’s very entertaining. We got the opportunity to watch a group who performed in show quest to dance in our assembly. It was really entertaining and the vibe was so cool. They had very cool outfits. They were all matching and it made the dance so much more better.

That’s all I will be sharing in dance this term. I hope you guys will enjoy dance class like how I did.

That’s all for this blog!Byeee!🩷🩷

Hi bloggers, for this blog I will be talking about what I learnt in numeracy. Some of the things we learnt were divided by a 2 digit number. We also did multiplying 2 digits by 3 digits. Some examples for the division are here 609 divided by 29, 34 divided by 7276. There are 3 kinds of methods here is a picture of the three methods.

As I mentioned we also learnt how to multiply. 2 digits by 3 digits. Here are some examples.

768

x 21

895

x23

222

x31

Some people do rounding to make it easier but I prefer to multiply it how it is. I learnt many different methods on how to multiply bigger digits. I encourage you to study more about multiplying and division because it is a very important thing to learn because you will need it when you get to higher year levels too.

Hi bloggers, today I will be talking about mental health. And changing mindsets. A good mindset can change a lot. It will make you happier in your everyday life and you will have more positive thoughts. Having positive thoughts over negative thoughts are really healthy for your body. It makes your body more active. Here is a poster that I made about being happy/positive.

If you are sad you should talk to someone and don’t surppress your feelings. It’s better to show them and actually try to feel happy again. Its best to talk to a trusted friend so they could comfort you when you are down.

Kamista bloggers, for this blog I will be teaching you the steps on how to make a scientific report.

I will be talking about the scientific method (on how to do it).

Firstly research about your topic. Google,read books, or ask your teacher some questions that would help you find out more about your topic/experiment.  Next you write a hypothesis on what you think will happen. You can do it on paper or digitally. Next do an experiment about your topic to see if your hypothesis and research is correct. Next check all your data/ list everything you have learned to see if they all connect and make a big picture for you to understand.Next is your observation. What did you see/ realise. And last is a conclusion. Just sum up everything you have learned into one or few sentences.

And then just make a report about all the information you have collected and add some pictures to make it look more pleasing.

Thats all for this blog. And go try and make a science report with all these steps/tips! byeee.

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog I will be explaining what FACKTS are and how it can help you. FACKTS are basically what you need to create a good map. We need all this elements so people could actually understand the map. What does FACKTS stand for?

Frame,Arrows,Colour,Keys,Title,Scale. These are needed in the map so we could actually understand what the keys and colours mean. So we know where land or water is. Here is an example of a map.

It has most of the elements. We can clearly see and understand the map. It is easy to know what the keys represent especially because they added colour. I encourage you to read and learn more about FACKTS/maps because it can help in your daily lives especially when your in an emergency and you don’t have internet.

Thats all for this blog byebyee.

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog I will be talking about what I have learned in literacy this week. This week we focused on sentences. The sentences that we talked about are called power sentences and a very short sentence.

What is a power sentence? A power sentences is a sentence with 12 words or fewer. How about a very short sentence? A very short sentence is a sentence with 5 words or fewer. Here are some examples of my power sentences and very short sentences.

That’s all for this blog. I encourage you to learn more about these sentences because its fun and you will learn a lot. Byee

Kamusta bloggers, for today’s blog I will be talking about FACKTS. You might be wondering what FACKTS is?

F – Frame

A – Arrow

C – Colour

K – Key

T – Title

S – Scale

FACKTS are basically what you need in a map. We need all of this in a map so people can actually understand how the map works. Here is an example of a map.

It’s not very clear but as you can see there are keys on the side of the map and it is also applied on the actual land. You can tell that the green is the land/grass or as it says on the keys it resembles a forest. And the yellow is grazing.

Not all of the maps have colour but if it does have colour it makes it more clear on what it is. From this lesson on FACKTS I learned that maps have many parts to it. And it’s actually very interesting to learn about maps so if you need to use a map you know how to. Maps help many people navigate themselves when they’re high up in the mountains or a forest or anywhere without internet.

Thats all for this blog and I encourage you to learn more about maps because its helpful in an emergency.

Kamusta, For this blog I will be talking about what we have learned and talked about in health for week 5 and 6.
The first thing we talked about is consent. What is consent? Consent is when you ask someone for permission to do something. Consent might sound like the following:

Could I please…
Can u have…
And there are many more sentences to ask for consent.

Another topic we talked about is acting appropriately and respectfully. How can you act appropriately and respectfully? You can act like that by doing appropriate touch, asking for consent, be kind and courteous, be polite and don’t interrupt someone while they are speaking, and always think before you speak and show love!

That’s all for this blog Byebye!

Kamusta bloggers, I will be sharing some information I learned in class today. Our topic in class today was how to play a Ukulele. We learned two chords today, C and Ami. We watched a video talking about the chords and how deep the chords were.

Me and my friends had fun because playing ukuleles were so cool. I wish we could do this again in the future and learn more chords and learn how to play a song.

thats all for this blog byeee.
