Final Kiwi Can Term 1

L.I to recap everything we did in kiwi can.
Today in Kiwi Can we recapped all of our learning from term 1. Our big theme was Positive Relationships. Our three modules were: Friendship, Co-operation and Positive communication.

We made three group. Each group talked about the five W's and the H for one module. After we talked as a group, each group shared their ideas back ti the class.

The thing that I enjoyed this term is the games that relate to the theme which makes the learning and doing a lot easy.
The one thing that I learnt this term is that you can communicate through different ways.
The thing that I have to work on is being confident.

Statistics Presentation

LI: to learn something about the class or school using statistics.

For Maths we had learnt about statistics. All the information that we have about statistics we had to use on to the graph that we made from the survey that we conducted on LS1 people. We had to make a presentations about where is the most popular place for you to rest in LS1. 

We had a rubric which is a score system for how good our presentation is. The points are: poor which is one point, acceptable which is two points and good which is three points. We can get points for content and delivery. 

We had scored five out of six points.

Kioma wears yellow tags and Taniwha wears Red tags. This tested of how we will be playing next week and so that if we get picked for the Kioma or Taniwha team then we can play the role. When we finished the score was five to one and the Taniwha team won which is the team that I was in.

Poetry

L.I - To identify purposes for poems.
Poetry is a text for communicating ideas and expressing your feelings to people. Poetry can include sound patterns. They are rhyme and rhythm. Rhyming is repeating sounds in words. There are four kinds of rhyme: Consonance, end rhyme, alliteration, and assonance.

Consonance is sounds of consonants that are repeated.
End rhyme is sounds repeated at the end of each line.
Alliteration is sounds repeated at the beginning of each word.
Assonance is vowel sounds that are repeated in each word.

The way we learnt this was using a paper that had poems on it and highlighting the rhymes that were in the poems. Then we had to highlight what the poem was out of the four rhymes.

LI: to learn something about the class or school using statistics.

Statistics is gathering information/data to answer questions. The question that I will be trying to answer is: Where is the most popular to rest and sit in PBS? The we are going to find the answer is by using a form and getting people to do the survey. We then had to clean the data.
