Our first olympians-Reading

こんにわ bloggers!

WALT: Locate and summarise important informtion from a range of related texts.

As the same as last week, this week we are looking at the olympics. We had to choose a different book from last week so this week I chose to read ¨Our First Olympians.¨ It is all about all of our first olympians who were in the the olympics. Before, in the 1920s, they only sent four people from New Zealand to compete in the olympics games. Now, we send over 100 people to the olympics!

For create task one, we had to choose a olympian from New Zealand or a favourite olympian. Then, we had to fill out this sheet and write some facts about the chosen olympian. I chose to learn about Eliza McCartney who won bronze in pole vault. After filling out the sheet, we had to create a poster that included all the information on the sheet.

For the second create task, we had to choose a country that is competing in the olympic games. I chose to learn about Italy. Then we had to find 20 facts about our chosen country and what the games they are entering. I was only able to find 18 facts about Italy because we didn't have enough time. After that, we had to create a DLO/digital learning option. I created a poster on a google drawing.  I chose to learn about them because for the production we are doing a dance about Italy and I have learnt a lot about it already and I wanted to learn even more.

The Ancient Romans Race Again (Reading)

 Hey there bloggers!                                                                                                                                           Have you been watching the Tokyo olympics? Well, This week for reading we have been learning about the olympics and athletes who are in the olympics. The book I chose to read was called, The Ancient Romans Race Again. It is about the ancient olympic sport played in Greek, chariot racing. It used to be a sport that hurt many horses and their riders sometimes even causing death. But now, over a century later, Pam Sheperd races in the chariot racing but her chariot is made from fibreglass and the racers survive the race. 

For create task one, we had to choose a olympian from New Zealand or a favourite olympian. Then, we had to fill out this sheet and write some facts about the chosen olympian. I chose to learn about valerie Adams. After filling out the sheet, we had to create a poster that included all the information on the sheet. 

For the second create task, we had to choose a country that is competing in the olympic games. I chose to learn about China who is currently first place in the Olympics. Then we had to find 20 facts about our chosen country and what the games they are entering. I was only able to find 15 facts about China because we didn't have enough time. I chose to learn about China because they are currently in first place in the olympics. After that, we had to create a DLO/digital learning option. I created a poster on a google drawing.

Boring! (reading)

 Hi Bloggers!  

Walt:Recognise how texts are constructed for different purposes, audiences and situations.                          In week nine of term 3 we will be having a school production/play! So this week, we were working on performing  plays. The whole school will be part of the school play but the people who wanted to audition for the main roles, had to memorise their lines and perform the play they were doing, and that would be their audition. The play I chose to do was called, BORING! It's about a boy named Alex who is really bored but doesn't realise there actually a whole lot going on behind him. See create task one to find more about the play. The role I played in the play was one of the pirates. I memorised my lines so I could audition in the play. The others who were in the play were, Karaitiana (second pirate), Jf (Alex),      Hannaneh (alien),  Victoria (princess), Renae (knight) and Lottie (dragon). Victoria was away for the last couple of days so we made Karaitiana her understudy if she was away on the performing day. Renae  had to go home during the performing day, so I memorised her lines last minute so I could do her role. Jf made some props for the play so when we performed our play it looked really cool and fun.                                

For our first create task we had to create a poster about what our play was about and what the role we were playing in it. I found this part very easy and finshed it by Tuesday. For the second part of the create task we had to create a costume of the role we were acting and add it to our poster.
