What i have learnt this week

I have learnt this week in maths what is the right one of these symbols  + - X  and the division symbol to work out a question like this 45 - 32 =
This is how you work out that question.
You don't - the 2 on the 32 you just - 30
Then you - the answer to 45 - 30 = 15
So you - the 15 - 2 = 13 and that's your answer.

My Hook writing



“Can't run much longer” I mumbled to myself. “C'mon legs push it to the limits.”As the straight line of grass appears in front of me I sprint Hard core non stop. Trees were zooming past as fast as lighting the grass disappearing. There just ahead of me was Cooper Fale also sprinting to the finish, I felt like a cheetah desperate for food. I felt like a whole different person just sprinting non stop. I dive at the finish with my hands stuck behind my back, I walk into the crowd falling to my knees then straight to the ground breathing heavily over and over again. “I had come 4th” as i tell my friends. As they all came over to me shouting and saying good job Riley. I mumble to myself you are going to the NEW PLYMOUTH CHAMPS, what is going to happen next.

Hook in writing is when you hook someone into your writing by adding detail, punctuation and descriptive words.

                   Art Gallery


Rooms 10 and 11 went for a visit to the Len lye art Gallery on Friday. When we arrived the building was covered in stainless steel on the outside. We walked inside and looked up the passageway to see huge, wavy, concrete walls.


Then we split up into two groups room 10 and 11. Room 10 set off with a guy name Chris, and room 11 set off with a woman called Rebecker.


We all went off doing different activities and then swapped activities.


Our favorite sculpture was the massive stainless steel fountain that Len Lye created, as well as Len Lye's wavy Grass, that is also made with stainless steel. The Len Lye’s art area was amazing with so many new and creative ideas, Len Lye did his art using sound, music, sculptures, movies.


He liked big things and he wanted to make some of his own and he did.
Len Lye’s art style is very creative and using your imagination to come up with something new.


The art gallery we thought was incredible, and the building was magnificent the way it was designed.

What I have learnt this week

What I have learnt this week:
I have learnt how to multiply by 10, but to know how to do this you need to know your basic multiplication
 4 Times 80 well i know what 4 times 8 = 32 so then 4 Times 80 = 320 and you just add a zero so if it was also like 4 times 800 it would be 3200.

My Learning Goal This Week

My learning goal this week was to order fractions on a number line in maths. 

Mr Anderson held a workshop on ordering fractions on a number and i was so confused but was glad that i eventually got it.

I was successful in learning this but it was a bit hard at the start and didn't quiet understand.

I persist to not give up i felt like giving up but did not i kept trying.

I soon got this and understood from some friends that helped me understand it really well.

This is an example of what we learnt

Put this fraction on the Number Line.

We would split this number line into quarters and then count three quarters and there we would have our answer.

How I used COPE in learning this week

                               HOW I HAVE BEEN USING COPE THIS WEEK
I showed Curiosity in the powerful reading strategy determining important ideas. The text was called cat out of the bag. I was curious  because i didn't know what was going to happen next in the text. I was also asking questions about the text like why did the girl have no friends? Will she become friends with the cat or not? I was showing Empathy to listing to what Mr A was teaching us on fractions and was listing to Others ideas by not calling out, staying still and not whispering to other kids.

Kayden's and i W.T.T first aid skills questions

This is Kayden's and i reflection work on our google site for our first aid skills.
These are some questions that Mr A has sent us.


How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?)
We worked really well together we sometimes stayed on the task and shared our ideas with each other and understood our ideas. Sometimes we were open minded Kayden or i would just want to do it by ourself. We showed Empathy by understanding and listening to our ideas and respected each other. 


What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with?)
We didn’t really use keywords and phrases well but typed in questions about the subject or we would get a bit confused on what we were typing in. We found what needed to know and sometimes understood what was on the web page


What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why?
We need to improve to concentrate on the task. Because sometimes we have ideas that won't suit the task. And we start to talk about something completely random.


Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with?
We are really pleased that we got resuscitation done and dusted. But then found that we had been concentrating so much on it that we forgot to do another first aid skill.We are also pleased with our progress because we had no idea about first aid skills.


What do you think needs to be improved on your google site?
We needed to add more first aid skills and probably more videos and make a bit more exciting and effective. We can make it effective by maybe adding color and pictures and better vocab.


Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”?
We thought that yes it would be able to be shown to other people. It could be improved but i think we have it spot on. How to put someone in recovery position our video is very well done as it shows the steps on how to put someone in the recovery position.


What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved)
Riley
I need to work on communicating with others and Kayden.


Kayden
I need to work on asking questions. Because I don’t normally ask questions that suit the task.


Riley
I need to definitely add in keywords and phrases because i am not incredible at doing this. But i just didn’t type in the keywords and was not typing in the right question.  


Kayden
I need to understand the information I am reading and know what to do if I am on a web site that I don’t understand what the information means.

Me:                                                                                                                                                                   My name is Riley James Kalin. I have two brothers and a mum and dad i like playing sports like touch rugby and soccer. I live in New Plymouth and i go to Frankley school. My interests are electronics i love to learn about them and how they work. My hobby is electronics and bike riding with my friend daniel i like to be creative in my mind.



My Learning:
How i like to learn is by using the computer and listening to the teacher. My Strengths are using technology and reading. I need to learn some division in maths.


What i need to work on:

I need to work on is my math and to start answering questions when on the mat. I need to work on not getting distracted when working  

      My Tablet
Vorderseite des Nexus 7 mit        Nexus Google 7          This is one of my best no hang on one of my best best best best best best best best memories. This Awesome AND best memory is about my black shiny Tablet. And i am yes me is going to tell how i got my Tablet. One nice fine day at the College that i lived in Hamilton 2014. Thats when i fought i could get a Tablet. You're probably asking yourself why does Riley need a Tablet. Well why i want a Tablet is because it would be handy to have. I could use it for a Camera, notes and most of all i wanted to use it for games. So i told Mum about my idea she said you are going to have to save up yourself! and i don't like hearing those words. I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! that will take millions of years. oops maybe i was being a bit dramatic but you get the point. So i thought hard about it then a awesome idea popped to my brilliant mind. I could wash WINDOWS!!!!! that was the best thought yet i think. So i got the window wash and a cloth and went around our College and asked can i wash your windows for 2$. Lots of people said yes go ahead man so i got around 5 to 8$ a week and from that i saved a lot of MONEY!. Plus i was getting pocket money 5$ a week from doing the Ugly Stupid looking dishes but its worth it. One day Mum said we are going to new plymouth for a visit. I do not like traveling for 3 hours i precisely  feel sick each time which is not and i repeat not a good idea. When we got to our Poppers house to stay. For Christmas he gave me and my brothers 50$ we were blown away. As soon as he gave it to me i went running to mum jumping up and down like a angry Kangaroo  saying i have enough money for my tablet. And no i dont just mean over the amount or under the amount i mean i have exactly enough MONEY! I am sorry but i can't remember much what happened after that. Ohh year thats right we came home and and and and and um um um oh its no use i can't actually remember what happened?. It was i think 4 weeks maybe a Month and finally it CAME i was so excited. I unwrapped the package really fast like what a bear would do. The box felt smooth and it smelt like dust. I carefully took it out of its box making sure i don't drop it. I put it so carefully on the table done that was easy i shouted. So thats how it was my best day ever. I mean the best best best best best best best day EVER Thank you so much for reading this awesome story.

By Riley   
Once upon a time there was a lizard called RANGO. Rango lived in a little town called Watermouth far in the desert where there was a tiny bit of water for all of them to have. Rango was the sheriff of Watermouth he shot a huge mungase hawk with 1 bullet. But there was a problem one morning the water had disappeared Rango needed to find out who stole it. Rango felt sad for the people in the town because they will die if i don't get the water back. Thats when Rango was in the sewer and found a blockage coin he pulled and pulled then pin gg they had water again yay.

Week 3

This week i learnt how to use the number line and working out these equations 28+_ = 72 i really enjoyed doing these but might need to have a bit more practice and learnt that it is easy to jump the number line using tidy numbers.   


Wednesday 29 April 2015

BANG BANG its 9.00 and war has begun against Germany. Lots of young nervous men are sloping down in our crumbling trenchers waiting for orders. I lay in the trench listening to the sound of bullets shattering past my head. I have no idea what is going to happen next WILL I DIE OR WILL I LIVE. These words are racing through my head like the speed of a machine gun firing. Thats when i hear this GET YOUR GUNS READY shouted general haddock. My mate lies next to me getting his grip on his gun. 3  2  1  GO as i watch all the young nervous men running out of the trench trying to dodge the firing bullets. I jump out the trench and there they were the german soldiers all lined up and firing rapidly. BANG BANG BANG AAAAARRRRRRHHHHHH i hear the sound of men crying, screaming and praying what do i do? Do i shoot or could that make it worse. I say to myself well its time to find out BANG i fire thinking it would strike someone. Then my mate louise whispers in my ear very quietly this is the end of us. RATA TAT TAT the german bully goes of that is what we called the german machine gun because it has killed a lot of young men. RATA TAT TAT AAAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHH im hit shouts louise as i stare into his eyes straight away i knew that i will have to get revenge on these germans.

            Te Wera Camp 2015
A fun event at Camp:

I Loved the great Te Wera challenge. It was a beautiful day. Why i loved the Te Wera challenge was because we did all this challenging activities that i found interesting, strange and exciting. All of the activities were amazing. My favourite activity was when we had to climb to the top a massive massive hill. I am use to climbing big hills but not as steep as what this hill was. i was sort of annoyed that we had to climb this beast. When we got to the top of the hill we had to make a pyramid which nearly made me faint. I tried to look for things out in the area but i couldn't see much because there are so many Big hills. And the Camp looked tiny. When everybody was up the big! hill we started to plan what it would look like. We put the people that was heavy at the bottom and the light at the top i had Wilson on my back and he was digging his knees in my back. after the parents took the picture i accidentally slipped it was hilarious.

A wonderful learning moment:

Me and My brilliant group were following Nick. I kept asking Nick how much further in my most terrible voice. Not Much further explains Nick ehhhhhhhh i said this sucks. Finally we make it i say my legs feel like Jelly. Then Nick gave us all simple instructions you guys are going to make bivi using rope and 1 tarp. I say yeah right how are we going to do this. Nick then says GO!!! Nick passes the rope to me and passes the tarp to Ethan. Time passes and we have only 1 minute left and i am sitting in the bivi with Shanelle as you can hear everybody shouting at one of another we need to do this or we should do this or HURRY UP. it was funny Times up don't touch it says Nick he examines it he is not very happy oh no someone has got a grumpy face. He takes our group up to a little area to teach us how to build a bivi. And how to survive. I like to learn about surviving in the wild or learning survival first aid skills. Nick taught my whole group and another group. How to make a little shelter that i found was interesting. He taught us what things we need to bring you never know you could end up lost. My butt was getting saw because i was sitting on twigs and branches it hurt i said crap. i am so lucky because Nick is my neighbor so that works out well.

school camp

                                              Before school Camp
Room 11 10 and some of room 9 we all are going to Te Wera Camp. I am very excited about school camp because i love! water slides because how you zoom down the slide and like to crash into the bottom of the slide at the end. I cant wait to go down the water slide I also like to kayak its awesome how you move swish to side to side and how the water sploshes against the kayak. and it is funny how you move using the paddle it interests me. Its fantastic when you get free time because you get to do lots of fun bits and bobs.

Feelings:
I am not feeling worried because i have been to a school camp. But i wonder if possums will come into who ever i am with cabin. I am also worried about that it will rain hopefully it wont.


Also what i am excited about is the food they camp you get lots of yummy FOOD i hope i will have a great time.

Rileys fun week



Hey Mr A i had a fun week with you and i cant really remember what happened so i will try my best. We will start with Maths i really LOVE how to say numbers up too 1,000,000. It was so exciting it turned up it was so easy. I remember the Knowledge toolkit and the Skills tool kit The knowledge tool kit is about the things you Know. And the Skills tool kit is about the things you Do. OK Swimming my goal for swimming is to breath to the side. I love swimming i like to be under the water i don't care if it is cold. I thought W.I.T.T would be easy but it is hard i really want to make a Google site. I learnt what Resuscitation means they do it to someone that is unconscious it is like CPR.
