About our catapult (took 2 week)

 Hi for the past few weeks me and my group members Kharn and Eddie have been working on building a catapult. 

 please click Here to find our poster that we made off our catapult.

 Hello again this is what we had to do before we were able to make our own and improved catapult.

So first we our focus was on energy about kinetic and positive, elastic, and others.  After we were on learning about doing kahoots even still to this day. We were getting tired, so we moved on and started making three different modules of a catapult. We made them out of items like school Items. The catapult we made 123, 1 was cool, 2 was easy, 3 was even easier. We used number two and improved it. It was good. I think that it's enough for today because you might just get tired.

Water Footprint

Today our lesson was about filling in a water footprint.                                                                                     Our task's today was to fill in the water footprint then we are supposed to make a new blog post on this say how can we improve on not wasting that much water. I think that I can improve on not wasting water bye reusing water and I will try to search that up on the web. This is my photo of how much water I wast in a day in my house hold.    

 

Ice Candle

Hi today I'm going to tell you about what the whole did for fake tuhituhi (writing). 

Equipment, what we needed was 1. One pack of Ice, 2. We used a old milk cartoon, 3. A old candle and new candles, 4. Also we used a pan that was heated, 5. Scissors, 6. cooking oil.  The Steps: Step 1, get the old cartoons and the scissors then cut the top off of the cartoons. Step 2, get the oil and pour it into the cartoon then spread it around. Step 3, melt the old candles in the pan. Step 4, add the new candles in the centre of the old milk cartoon place the Ice surrounding it  then add the melted candle wax and poor ti into  the cartoon. Step 5, then leave it to seattle for about 24 hours. 

During the experiment the melted candle wax smelt nice, then after the teacher poured the wax in the Ice cartoon it splashed all over there was a big ish burning sensation.

                            

November Reflection

Today I have been reflecting  on what I have done during november. What I needed to do was wr down what the problem of the month in maths and plenty more. I really enjoyed looking back at what I did.I am very sorry for not blogging it's just that last week we had nothing to blog.

Letter to a parent who came on camp

 Last week myself room 1, room 2, room 3, went to Tui ridge camp for last week that was why I could not comment on anyone's blog. This week our task was to write a letter to a parent helper in you group when you were at camp so this is my letter.

                                                                                                                                                                            Sione  F

Dear Tracey,

I am writing to you to thank you for the effort you put into our camp and our camp group.

I’m very sure that everyone in our group and in other groups enjoyed your company as well because you were helping with the flying fox, and helping with cleaning up lunch when another group was on for lunch. 

One of my favourite highlights in my favourite activity was the flyfox! Once I got up with my harness then started zooming down I was also singing songs like “I came in like a Wrecking ball” and “Before you go.” After I hit the tyres I got a huge wedgie. 

But once again thank you for helping on our Year 5&6 camp. We all enjoyed your company, especially me. You're the best helper for 2020.

Ngā mihi

lion Report

Yesterday we have the been learning about how to write a report on an animal that comes from New Zealand. For this task we had to a put together a level 3 writing report that is cut up, this report was based on a lion that my teacher wrote.
I found it tricky to get all of the sentences and put them together and read over it to make sure that it made sense. I also found it tricky to pair the sentences in paragraphs.
I found it easy to use a pink highlighter and highlight the words that I thought was wrong in the report.
My digital learning object shows that I can use reports in my writing that have classification, description, and a dynamic fact.

Matariki

This week we have been learning about Matariki.
W.A.L.T use visual language features such as charts or maps to extend or clarify meaning and to engage our audience.
I found it easy put the names of all the 9 stars on my google docs.                       
I found it hard to read the article about Matariki and put it in my own words and make a paragraph out of it.
My digital learning object shows that I can use text boxes in my writing. 

What is Matariki?
Matariki is a Maori new year that people celebrate for tradition and to a celebration in New Zealand. Matariki is the Maori name of the cluster of stars and only comes in June/July and you can only see it in the night sky and also tells us about new life.

How many stars does matariki have?
Well according to the legend it said that there were 7 but when you have a telescope you can actually see two more so there is 9.
The person that found out there was 9 was Dr Rangi Matamua. He had been learning about Matariki for over 30 years.

How Gravity Works - Explanation Writing

For the past week I was learning about gravity
In Writing we have been learning how to paragraph.
I found it hard to write everything on my Blogger
I found it easy to remember what I wrote down
Next time I would change the order of my paragraphs
                                                             
                                                             
Have you ever wondered why you jump in the air and you don't go floating into space?
Well it's gravity. It is a force that keeps you in the ground. If you throw something into the air it will come back down eventually .

Boink
Did you know that a Boink or you might call it a chinese finger trap uses gravity? If you pinch the top, push it down it will go in the air. The Earth’s gravity will pull it down.

Dropper a Popper
When you have a Dropper Popper  you get a dome and flip it inside out the dome. When you drop it, it will fly into the air. But Gravity will take it back like the Earth’s force.
