Simple Machines

 Did you know that simple machines were invented along time ago? These simple machines are wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. Simple machines help people make work easier and faster. 

                              

Explanation

A introduction contains an interesting question or a hook. 

First Mr Ogilvie showed us a video about how to write a hook and what is a hook. 

Next, we wrote an introduction and a hook about three different topics.

Did you know that there are almost 20,000 butterfly speices ? The mother butterfly lays eggs and they turn into caterpillarsnand makes a chrysalis and then turns into a butterfly. It takes 9 to 14 days to take a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Did you know the largest firework display consisted of 810,904 fireworks? A firework consists of gunpowder a fuse and potassium nitrate. When these three mechanisims come together they create a colorful explosion in the air.

 

Do you know that choclate is made by coco powder? First dried coco beans will be roasted also heat blend food coloring sugar and flour. When the choclate is made they will wrap it in paper.

 Next time when I write a introduction I should add more information.

LI: how to write a hook in an introduction.

Explain That Idiom

A idiom is a word that is the same word but different meaning.

                              

Maori

Today we learnt some objects from around the kitchen. For example oumu this means oven.

I learnt how to say Kei hea te puka puka? this means where is the book.

I also learnt how to say Kei raro i te tēpu? which means the pencil is under the table.

I thought this activity was fun beacause I thought it could help me with my maori in class.

    

Balancing |HPE

 Today I practiced some balancing using equippment.

I started doing hockey and I needed to balance on one leg and roll the ball and the other person had to push the hockey stick I finished the first activity. The activity was hard because I didn't try balance.

The next sport was the frisbee I also needed to balance on my leg again and I needed to throw the frisbee and then catch it while balancing. The activity was easy because it was easy to balance.

Then I did some basketball I need to bounce it and then throw it while balancing on one leg.

This activity is also easy because it was bouncing a ball and then passing it and balancing.

After that I did some netball I needed to balance again so while I was balancing I was passing the ball to my teamates. I like this activity because it is passing and balaincing and easy.

My last station was throwing a rugby ball to my teamates while balancing.

I like this activity because it was simple and easy to balnce.

 

Calendars

 Calendars show us the day, week or month.

 There are 12 moths in the year, they are: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,   September, October, November and December.

 Months have 28, 30 or 31 days. 

There are number patterns ona calendar by looking for four connecting   days for example 20, 60 and 100.

 Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 timetables helps us reading a calendar.

Tipping Point | PE

A tipping point is when you fall but you catch the fall.

I revised my balancing and tipping point.

To practice my tipping point the class played a game to practice the tipping point the game was called tile twister. I had to balance so I didn't reach my tipping point. 

The game was basically twisting using your body parts but we used our squares on the floor to play the game.

I really liked balancing because balancing is fun and it is part of learning.

Passing

 Today I learned how to tell a person to pass something in maori.

 We revised last weeks maori lesson, tenei is here tena is there and tera is over there.

 Then we learnt how to say "hoatu te ( the thing that you want to pass ) ki te taha maui". "Hoatu te ( the thing that you want to pass ) ki te taha maui means "put the (the thing that you want to pass) to the left".

 I need to learn more Maori words and getting used to remembering them.

The life cycle of a butterfly

I did a cause and effect task it was about a life cycle of a butterfly. 

First I sorted out the explanation of the life cycle of a butterfly.

Second I wrote a cause and effect sentence about when the caterpillars were in their eggs.

Next I wrote another cause and effect sentence about that caterpillars are incredibly hungry.

Then I wrote another cause and effect sentence about when caterpillars make a chrysalis.

After that I wrote a cause and effect sentence about when caterpillars turn into butterflys.

I really liked doing the activity because it was part of learning and it was fun.

 

Keywords

Keywords are words that have alot meanings.

Manners | PB4L

Manners are words that are helpful, nice and repsect.

We use manners at school, home, and public. 

These are some manners that we mainly use.
Please, Thank you, Sorry, Excuse me,Your welcome.

 You have to look at the person or it is not respecting.

We use manners because it shows respect to other people that you know and in public.

Problem Solving

Today in groups we did an activity.

Our activity was time problem solving. 

We were answering some questions that is part of time.

We first thought of what the answer was and then we carried on to our next questions.

There were six questions. After that we finished andwent and carried on to do our maths after we showed the teacher.

I enjoyed doing this activity because it was part of learning and it was solving something.

Simple Machines

 These are simple machines that we found in the school.

Preposition

 Today I learned how to say three prepostions in maori.

The first preposition was tenei. Tenei means here.

The second preposition was tena. Tena means over there.

The last preposition was tera. Tera means way over there.

I liked doing the activity and learning some new words.

HPE| Balance

Today I did balancing and my group took photo of the balancing.

First we balance on the ledge and took a photo. 

Next we did balanced parts in the playground. 

Then we balanced without using or touching the equippment.

I enjoyed doing the activity.

Maori

 Today I learnt some maori questions that help me learn words in maori in the classroom.

My first question was is Kua Marama. Kua Marama means Do you understand? 

My other question was Kua Mutu. Kua Mutu means Finished.

Next time I need to practice more maori words.

 

Analog Clock

Analog clocks are a piece of technology thhat help tell time.

A clock has 3 mechanisims.

The secoond hand moves around the clock the Fastest.

The minute hand is the longest and moves around when the second hand completes 1 rotation. A full rotation of the minute hand is 1 hour. 

The hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the big numbers.

An analog clock requires you to look outside to know if it is morning or afternoon.

 

Simple Machines

 Simple Machines are machines to move an object with little force.

There are six different machines:

Wedge - A pointy material that can be used to cut things open.

Pulley - A rope on a wheel that can be used to lift tools up and lift tools down.

Screw - A pointy material that can be used to stick objects together.

Inclined Plane - A ramp that can lift heavy loads.

Wheel and Axel - A material that makes a tool roll.

Lever - A machine that lifts up heavy items/tools.

HPE|Balance

Today I learned about balancing.

First Mr Ogilvie told us what balancing was. Balancing is keeping still and steady and not falling down or moving.

Then we started with our first activity. Our activity was that we had to balance on the balance beam while we had to cross the otherside of the balance beam. Two people from each team had to balance on the balance beam you can't fall if you fall then the whole team has to restart again.

Our next activity was to balance on a soccer ball. We had to balance on the soccer ball and other teamates help the person balance on the soccer ball. If we were confident we could try and stand on the ball without any support.
 

I felt confident doing the balance activity. 

Predicting

 I learned that predicting is guessing something.

I made predictions about the information in the book Winter Sports.

Prediction is a little bit hard but with more practice I could do better.
