Teaching Haiku

Yesterday we had a writing lesson on writing a HAIKU poem, Writing a Haiku poem includes rules. In the Haiku there is 3 lines and the first line has 5 syllables the next line has 7 syllables and the last has 5 syllables. We had to use figurative language that we mostly did through the whole term in the Haiku like personification, alliteration, Imagery, assonance.

Basic Facts

For this I got 40/40 it was pretty easy because I already learn't most of these equations. For this it took me 5m 26s answering it and rechecking. I was trying my best not to rush and I did but only for the easy questions. Next time I will do stage 8 and try to get 40/40.    

Shape Shooting

This game was all about perimeter. The green square perimeter was 6ft and I had to find 5 units inside the dots. I had a clear understanding of perimeter and found it very easy. Next time my aim is to complete area and have a clear understanding.

Brooke Neal

Today, we had a visitor and she came from the 2016 Rio Olympics. Brooke Neal came into our class from the NZ olympic women’s hockey team. She inspired me to use the olympic values not only in sport and also through other things. Her role model was her older brother, he played for the NZ olympic men’s hockey team. My favourite goal of Brook was, “ I SHOW PRIDE”. I hope I can be like her. Represent my country, my family and whoever supported me through my path.

Basketball lesson

For this basketball lesson we learned everything to shoot accurate using different kind of techniques. I learned how to balance my feet so the ball can go straight and in. The aim was trying to hit the backboard so it gives you a better chance to get it in. There was also this word we learned and it was B.E.E.F  B- was for Balance, E- eyes on the target, E- for elbows facing the hoop well shooting and F- is for follow through. It was fun learning good skills we can use in a real basketball game.
