touch rugby

 This week we were playing touch. In touch our kiwi sport teacher split us into three equal teams. We were practicing 3 man settles so we know the rules of playing touch . Our teams had to pass the ball and plant it on the ground, and we had to jog to the cones. Lastly we were play touch and there was a defense team and a attack team. The attack team had to run with the ball and pass the ball with each other, and if they get touched by the defense team they have to plant the ball so their team can take the ball and do the same thing. The defense team had to touch the players in the other team so they cant get it in the goal.

Fractions are one whole thing divided into equal pieces.

Fractions have two parts, the numerator, and the denominator. The denominator tells the size of the fraction. The numerator shows how pieces there are An example is five eighths. The fraction size is eights, so the denominator is eight. There are five pieces, So the numerator is five.

see below for examples.

Maori blog.

this week we made a Google doc about Maori names.                                                                    

 First I had to go on Maori dictionary and translate  the Maori and put it on the column on the google doc.

Secondly we had match the Maori names with the English ones.

Lastly we had to show the Maori teacher what we done, and blog about it.

 Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from. 

When building a shelter, measuring the amount of materials being used is important so it keeps it balanced. 

An example of materials used for a tsunami shelter are concrete, chicken wire, metal ties, aluminum, Popsicle sticks, steel door, and hard clear plastic. 

Using chicken wire is good for putting in the concrete so it can connect it to the other sides. 

Hard clear plastic can be used for the windows because it doesn’t break easily like glass and because it's transparent which allows people to see what's happening on the outside.

Popsicle sticks are good for supporting the force of the impact. This material can also be used to anchor the shelter into the ground so it doesn’t tip over. The properties of wood are the shape that has been made. 

Not every material can support every natural disaster. Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from.

The duffy theater

Today we watched a  performance by duffy theater group about the coggen. a coggen is an mythical creature that was a mixture of a Cat,dog and a chicken. 

Before the story story started they introduced themselves. 

Then we sang the Duffy song. 

Then the actors preformed for us. 

Lastly the duffy group held a question and answer session. I thought the performance was really fun  but I was disappointed that my class did not ask anymore intelligent questions.

Maths- fraction

 Fractions are a whole cut into equal pieces.

A half is a whole cut into two equal pieces.

Here are some examples of a quarter and a half looks like.

LI: to define fractions. 

Touch rugby

 Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby. 

First we learned how to tap the ball, pass the ball, and catch the ball.

Afterwards, we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching.

I enjoyed our kiwi sport session. This was hard for me.

LI: To learn touch rugby.

Instlation | Inquiry

 In inqury we did a experement on warm water and cold water.

Next we gathered our materials. The materials we used were paper cups, water,tote tray,thermometer, ice cubes and a chrome book to record the tempatures.

Then we used thermometer to see if the tempature of the water went colder and hotter. Every two minutes we recorded the tempature on a google sheet to see if the water got colder or hotter. 

It was fun and I would like to do it again but using a diffrent material. 

LI: to learn and practise experimental methods.

Tagrams

This week I leaned how to make tangrams.
I rearranged the pieces to make animal shapes.
First I made a square piece of paper because tangrams are made from a big square.
Then I added the usurious shapes and cut them out.
Lastly, I tried to make different animal shapes from tangram pieces.

angles and coding

For math we did coding and angles. We had to measure with a protractor to each place.


LI-To code directions and distance.

Today we did our First session of
Cricket with Brian from HPSC.
I did a session on throwing a ball at a set of stumps. We also did an activity were we had to hit 2 balls off the cones as far as we could. Lastly we did a catching drill with 2 ball in a big circle.
