Simple Machines

Did you know that there are 3 simple machines that are similar? they are wheel and axle, pulley and screw

they help make work easier.

SSR Selfie

I read a few pages of the book: Monster mache art.

In the first section of the book they make some dinosaur art.

The second section they make, one eyed Bob, Monty, and Gnasher the alien dog.

I liked this book because its teaching how to make these creations.

Calendars

How to read a calendar.

Step 1: find 2 dates you want to use

Step 2: find out what the days are

Step 3: write the month

Step 4: write the day

Step 5: write the year.

Balancing

I learnt how to balance with some sports equipment.

The first one I did was hockey, where I had to stand on one foot and pass the ball with the hockey stick to my partner. This was a bit easy because l can hit a hockey stick a little bit good.

The next one I did was frisbee, I had to throw the frisbee to my partner were after the first one I could go slightly left or right and a bit up and down. This was hard because I haven't thrown a frisbee for a long time.

The other one I did was netball, I had to pass the ball to my partner up not to high above his head. This was a bit easy because i didn't throw the ball as hard.

The last one I did was rugby, I had to pass the ball to my partner from my side to the middle of my torso.

This was a bit easy because I didn't throw the ball as hard.   

Maori Kicthen Sentences

I learnt some Maori sentences that are used from around a kicthen.

First I had to find the kicthen words in a maori dictonary.

Next I had to find and or make to put on my google drawing.

After that I had to write the title on the google drawing.

I enjoyed this activity because it helped me learn a bit more maori words.

Cause and Effect.

Cause is the thing that made the effect happen, the effect is the thing that happend before the cause happend.

Explain that Idiom

An idiom word is a word that revolves around things to say to people like: When pigs fly, means something is impossible to do, but also saying something mean.

Cause and Effect

I learnt what cause and effect is.

I attempted to try write a cause and effect for the things that were happening in the images.

I completed a task that fit with three causes and effects.

I found this a bit easy but also hard because I dont really know how to write an effect.

Block Twister

I revised how to balance and tipping point by playing Block Twister.

First I had to find out when my tipping point was going to happen and make me fall down.

Next we had to put our body parts on what Mr. Wong said to put on a tile, as long as its not the same colour as the last one.

Finally I had to try and stay balanced just like our tipping point and try not to hurt ourselves by tangiling our arms.

Fire Odie

I learnt how to tell people to pass something to there left maori.

I revised Tenei, Tena and Tera, which means if your close to something, right next to it, and far away.

Our lesson was telling someone else to pass it to the person to there left in maori, the sentences we had to try and say is,

"Hoatu te ... ki te taha maui." which is, 'pass ... to your left.'

I found this a bit hard becasuse  I struggled on the "Hoatu te" part.

Keywords

 A keyword is a word that tells a lot of information.

Basic facts boxes

I completed a basic facts box challenge.

I only got one answer wrong.

This was a bit easy for me to do and I want to go faster.

Manners

Manners are a nice way to greet people in a nice way.

Manners are mainly used by greeting someone.

Manners can include eye contact. Eye contact is polite because it sometimes means you are talking to the person your talking to.

Manners can also include formal language.

                                             

Problem Solving

 We had to figure out time problems.

First we had to figue out what hand was the minute and what was the hour.

Then we used the anolog clock to figure out the time problems.

After we marked our answers.

This was a bit hard because some of the times times I didn't know.

Simple Machines

These are some simple machines that we have found in real life.

 

Introduction Explanation

I learnt about what a introduction is.

I recalled that an explanation is explaning how things work.

I also watched a video on how popcorn pops.

I figured out that a introduction is writing about what you are going to write.

Countries in Maori

This week I learnt some countries in maori.

First I wrote down the english way of saying them, after that I wrote them in maori and put them side to side.

I also know that Ahitereiria is Australia.

The Maori countries were a bit hard for me but they were still pretty easy, next time I want to write some more countries.

Simple machines

The simple machines are tools to help make work easier for humans.

 

There are 6 simple machines:

Wedge: The wedge cuts something in half.

Pulley: The pulley lifts something up and down.

Inclined plane: The inclined plane is like a ramp an wheelchair ramp.

Lever:  The lever is sometimes pulling something up from a small amount to a big amount.

Screw: The screw is used to put things together and back together.

Wheel and axel: The wheel and axel moves something by rolling it around.

Balance

Today group A learnt about what balancing is.

First Mr.Ogilvie taught us what balance is. Balance is either standing on one leg or standing on both your feet, because your not falling down when you stand or walk on both legs unless you trip.

After we played an activity were you have to balance on going across the balancing beam.

Then we played a ball activity were we had to balance on it and not do a tipping point.

The ball activivty was fun but I want to stay on for more longer. 

Prediction

 I learnt that predicting is about guessing what might happen that didn't happen alraedy.

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

Prediction is a little bit hard for me because thinking about something that might happen can be hard.
