Touch Rugby | Kiwi Sport

Today for Touch rugby we learnt the skills on how to play the game.

The first skill planting the ball. We had to place the ball between our legs so when we plant the ball we step over the it and let the other person get it.

Second we learnt passing the ball and planting the ball in different cones. My partner I worked with was suppose to pick put the ball and pass it to me to plant it to another cone.

Lastly we did Defending and Attacking. Defending and Attacking were 2 teams. One team was the defender and one team was the attacker. The attacker was suppose to hold the ball and get it to the other side without getting touched and defender was suppose to stop the attacker from getting the ball to the other side.

I enjoyed this activity because it teaches me how to learn the basic skills of touch rugby.  

Division story problem

For math I learnt how to use division.

I shared the number evenly among how many groups there were. 

For example. I got 2 objects and shared them evenly among 2 groups.

I gave them 1 object each and wrote the algorithm. 2 ÷ 2 = 1.            

                                                                                                             

I enjoyed this activity because it teaches me how to divide numbers.  

    

Kupu

For Maori our work was called kupu. 

The kupu task was about translating Maori words into English words.

For example, tama is Maori for boy, and whenua is Maori for land. 

We also worked on writing the daily routine in Maori and had to translate Maori words from a Maori song to English words to understand it more better.

I enjoyed this activity because I understand new Maori words easier 

Touch Rugby

Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby.

First we learned how to tap the ball, catch, and pass the ball.

Afterwards we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching.

I enjoyed this activity because we learned basic touch skills. 

Keeping it warm & cool

Insulators are used to stop heat from moving place to place. Five materials were tested for the ability to insulate: glass, plastic, metal, paper, and polystyrene.

The best insulator for keeping things warm was polystyrene. 

The best insulator for keeping it cold was paper.

The best insulator was polystyrene.  

Te Tinana

This week for Te Reo Maori we did a task about our body called Te Tinana.

We worked on how to say different body parts.  For example puku means stomach and ngutu means lip. 

We highlighted the body parts we knew in blue and the ones we didn't know were left blank . 

We had to match the Maori words with the English words.

Before the Te Tinana activity we had to match Maori words with different pictures that were showing different weathers. 

This helps us learn more Maori words easier
