My reading Prediction.

Description: We had to take a picture of the cover the blurb and a random page in the book then we had to answer some question and I chose to put hem in to groups so, like. Cover, Title, Blurb, My prediction.

My book:

Title: "The Spiral Chrysalis" The name just hooks me in strait away and I just think of a beautiful butterfly but that is not what it looks like at all the book sounds like and book full of mysteries!  

Cover: The cover to me has lots of mystery for me and i'm  wondering what the black curves are I think there people protecting the chrysalis in the back round there is also smoke coming out of the chrysalis and I really want to know what the is!

Blurb: The blurb makes the book sound even more amazing than it looks for me its all about a girl who finds the spiral chrysalis and her gran tells a story about it. I would just love to find out more.

My prediction: I think its about a girl who finds the chrysalis then wants to know about it but there are some guards to it an she doesn't know anything about what it is!

Text to world
Text to text
The worry website is an awesome book. I am connecting me to the main character holly.
She only lives with her dad, and gets annoyed a lot, and its the same with me but I live with my mum.

Feedback/feedforward: Great job Katie I agree that you still need to work on text to text and you are really good at doing text to world and text to self. Well Done! You are nearly there. Grace :)

Evaluation: I have been going to work shops and learning how to connect like text to text, text to self and text to world. I think Im good at connecting myself to the text, but I need to get better at my text to text. But a way to get better at my text to text is by getting to books that I know and read  a chapter of both books then connect the things that are the same about them!:)

Catch Me If You Can- Defense

WALT: Defensive skills and movements

Description:

Every week we learn about skills and movement that will help us play sports. This term’s focus has been around defense. We made a video showing some of the goals we have been practicing. I have highlighted the thing I think I have done well YELLOW and one thing I would like to work on PINK.

Success Criteria:

Body Movement

• Weight on balls of feet
• Feet shoulder width apart
• Knees flexed
• Concentration and eyes on ball, head and eyes up
• Push hard off outside foot and go forwards to attack pass
• Quick small feet, stay on balls of feet
• Arms within confines of body
• Take feet to ball
• Land with a SBP

Intercepting

• Body angled to see player and ball
• Anticipate pass and player movement

Restrictive Marking

• Meet player as they start towards the ball/where they want to go
• stay close to the attacking player
• Head and eyes up, arms close to body to avoid obstruction/contact
• Angle body so attacking player is ‘pushed’ away from where he/she wants to go
• 0.9m from ball carrier

Evaluation: I think I did well because ran in and intersepted the ball like our goal was. But next time I could catch the ball insted of hit it.

Feedback/Feedforward: Well Done Katie I think that you also need to try and land in a SBP (Stable Body Position.) The skill I think you did well was staying on the balls of you feet so you were ready to intercept the ball. Grace :)

My goals for school is: To make my hands into cups when I swim freestyle. To do this I must practise remember to practise getting the water in my hand and pull hard through the water.

My second goal is to have my arms always bent and pointing to the sky during freestyle.  To do this I must always think about pointing my arms arm with each stroke I do. This will make me a faster and straighter swimmer.

My goal for swimming sports is to swim in at least two heats. To do this I will put my hand up for the events and give it my all.
