This week for Bounce Back and PB4L, we have been discussing what it means to be friendly and inclusive. We talked about how we can do a better job at making sure we are all including everyone. For our task we had to show the things to be inclusive & kind to other people even if you don’t know them.
Design and build a boat using popsicle stick to achieve a specific function.
In Week 4 we were creating boats with materials that float in water. We could work by ourselves or we can partner up I worked with Vaingalo & Eneasi. We were working so hard to make the boat float & sussed the competition.
We planned it on the chromebook first so we can see what we can work with if we didn’t have what we wanted on our chromebook. Our plan was to get like 7 or 6 popsicle sticks & then glue it togethers. Get one more popsicle stick & a rubber band & rap it around the tea bag to make it stand.
Our materials for the buoyancy challenge was popsicle sticks, craft glue, rubber band, straws & a tea bag. We did this on Thursday so the next day we could put it in the water. On Friday, we tested our boats. I was the first one to test the boats in the water. I got scared that it was going to sink because we put too much stuff on our boats.
But when we saw it was 10 seconds left Miss Tele’a shook the table to see which tea bag will get wet. We left it for Friday so the glue can dry out for a little bit. We were so scared if our boat would sink. Our heart was safe when the timer was over & our tea bag was dried.
Some of the class boats float but we didn’t want to eat in front of them so they got a fruit burst as well. We all ate it together with enjoyment. I think we did good and well but I need to work on getting better on my making skills.
Practicing reading comprehension skills with informational text.
This week my reading group started reading the text Beyond The Reef. Our focus is on practicing different reading comprehension skills. Our story was about a boy waiting for the mens building the boat so they can leave the village & go find a new place to live. After we read together, we completed our response to text slides.

This week for Bounce Back and PB4L, we have been discussing what it means to be fair. We talked about how fairness can look different to different people, and different situations where being fair looks different. For our task we had to draw three scenes where fairness is important. It could be at school, home, or during playtime. We then had to explain why it is important to be fair in those different spaces.

This week we created imaginative stories centered around different Kiwiana items. We were provided with a word bank, and had to try and include as many of those words as we could. I found the task kinda hard but i really tried.
I have been practicing my independent reading skills and completed an SSR Selfie. A SSR selfie is where you read independently for 15 minutes, then write down different bits of information that you have read.
