L.I: To compare the past and present rules.
For this reading activity we were tasked to compare the olympics rules from the past and the present using a venn Diagram.There was a big difference between the past olympic rules and the present. The rules that stayed the same was no shoving, no holding, no cutting of other racers.
This task was interesting because i found out that Poros won the race.
This week for reading we read a text called Poros of Malia. This text was about a man named Poros who competed in the sprints in the ancient olympics. Poros had won this event in the olympics prior so he had to win or they would have been made fun of. After we finished the text we answered a list of questions, by answering these question we got a better understanding of the story because it helped us remember the details and the main idea of the text.

LI: to Create a DLO that shows both points of view as well as your own.
We were tasked to make a DLO using provocation. A provocation is an action or speech that can show a powerful image in the reader’s mind. For this task we picked an image from a site showing what it looks like after the olympics. We chose 5 to do the Bobsled venue in Sarajevo. The provocation was, Should host countries have to spend so much money on building Olympics venues?
In our opinion we think that they shouldn’t have spent that much money, because they could have used it again so that they didn’t need to waste so much money, and if they did that they could save money and they could help the poor people.
L.I To try and get the Mbot to draw and make a star.
LI: To understand the meaning behind Matariki.
This week our focus was about Matariki, as it is the time of year we see the Matariki stars in the sky. It is the Maori new year, a time for new beginnings. On Wednesday we had our school wide Matariki celebration. During this week we have completed different tasks to help strengthen our connections to Matariki.
The first task in this DLO was to find where we will see the matariki stars. The next task was about where in the sky is the Matariki stars and write where they are. The last task was about why does the matariki stars disappears in may and reappears in june. This task was fun because I got to learn more about the celebration of Matariki.
