Commenting

This week for commenting I commented on Ellenora's Capacity Blog Post.

I said it was a great blog post she had made.

Kiwi Sport

This week for Kiwi Sport we played three games. First we did a warm up game. This was called Bibs vs Non Bibs. We had to get a partner and one of us had to be one or two. The ones had to wear a bib and the twos had no bibs. Everybody was it and if someone got tagged they had to sit down for the whole game.

If a person tagged somebody and the other person also tagged them, they had to play rock paper scissors. If one of them lost they had to sit down. After the warm up game, we played ball tag. How this game worked: The non bibs had two balls. They had to try had tag the bibs by using the balls to tag them. The bibs also had to tag the non bibs. After this game we played a game called Pass Back. The game worked like this: The bibs and the non bibs had to get into separate lines and everyone had to pass the ball to the other person. After they had passed the ball that person had to run to the back of the line until they touched the bib. It was like a race. After that we went back to class.

Maori

This week for Maori we had to make a Google Slide about our family. For the first slide, we had to write our name and a greeting. For the second slide we had to write about where we live. For the third slide, we needed to tell about who our parents are. For the fourth slide we had to write about who our siblings are. Then on the last slide we had to write down all the words that were on the other slides.

Cause and Effect

   LI: What is cause and effect?

   This week for writing we had to write about cause and effect. We had to write about something and then      put a word in the middle for it to make sense. Some of the words we had to use were: Because, When, If      then, and In order to. We used Cause, Casual Language, and Effect.

Explanation

Title Use a clear title that tells the reader what the explanation writing is about.	What is the Must do Task List?
Introduction Introduce the subject / topic to your reader. You could also explain what some of the technical vocabulary means.	What is the Must do Task List? The Must do Task List is where people from LS1 link their blogs up. When they have linked a blog post they get a number coloured in next to their name. If they get 100% that means they have finished all their work and it’s coloured in golden. And they get to play games with the teachers or have free time. We also have labels to put our work in the correct slot. Reading, Writing, Maths, and Inquiry. And we have labels for Kiwi Can, Kiwi Sport, Cybersmart, and Maori.
Main Points Describe and explain each point in the process. Remember to write the points in a logical order, with reasons why each step happens. You can also use paragraphs and subheadings to organise the points.	We use the Must do Task List to show how much blog post we have done throughout the weeks. How to use it, we need to create a blog post about something. After we have made a blog post, we need to link it to the must do task list. We click a little button and it will show Link and Name. So we have to copy and paste the blog post link by using CTRL+V CTRL C. When we have copied and pasted it we go back to the must do task list and we paste the link  into the bar that says “Link:” Once we have pasted in the link and the name we have to press enter to put it in.
Conclusion A summary of the topic. If your explanation began with a question, you could summarise the answer.	When we have linked the blog post, the number next to the name will change colour and the number. The colours are: Blue, Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Golden.

LI: What is an explanation.
This week for writing we had to write an explanation of what the Must do Task List is. We had to use What, Why, Where, When, Who, and How.
