How to make a parachute?

 KIA ORA bloggers 

this week post is about what we are doing in inquiry. in  inquiry we are learning about rocket and the goals for space in the future. so this week  tasked was to make a parachute   out of string,fabric,paper ,tape. and we where in group of three and  we made are  parachute out of string and fabric and tape.

Have you ever made parachute?

what has happen to the environmental?

Oil is in and around our world,

even in places you wouldn’t imagine. We use oil for cooking but we also use

crude oil. The pumping and transporting of crude oil around the globe often

have environmental effects. We have looked at various texts and videos

to learn about some of these effects, and it ‘good’ timing as there was a

recent oil spill (24 July 2020) in Mauritius that we could investigate.

Check out my video to learn more about oil, and see the simulation we

did in class about cleaning oil from water.

The rocket take off

Hi there this post is about  science in writhing and  reading. so in this post it is
about a science  experiment that would   be like a rocket when it take off to orbit.
know of the steps to how we had to use.

so if you try a experiment you should post it?

In and out pot

Kia ora bloggers

 this week in maths is about in and out pot. on Tuesday we had to make are own rule.
this is how we do it
first we had to make a rule and then we stared with a 9 let say and then we had to +5 and  then x by 2 and that =  28

so this is my question to you can you come up with your own rule

The southern and the northern Light

Hello blogger    

today's post is about the southern lights and the northern lights . if you don't know what the northern and southern light are they are  when   particles are boosted in energy in Earth's upper atmosphere, and when they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms, they produce dazzling aurora light. also the Northern Lights can be seen in the northern or southern hemisphere, in an irregularly shaped oval centred over each magnetic pole.  

how we made  the art

we made by  ripping a A4 peace of paper and the we used masking tape to stick it to a black A4 peace of paper. after that we got a paint brush and dip it into white paint and ran are finger Through  it so it would make it look like stars. so after it dyed  we got some chalk and  we pick are colors and then we used are finger a swiped up to make it look like lights . then we used a end on the paint brush  also for stars.

hopefully you like this peace of art.

The silly robot

Hi

Today this  blog post is about what I did  in maths yesterday so we had to make a robot with shapes  and we used google drawing to pot it on  and then we had to pot it on a google doc and then are teacher photocopy it and then we measured  it a had to found 8 angels in it.

Once upon time

Hi Blogger


today this post is about what we are doing in reading because at the end of  the term  we should have a awesome fracture fairy tale.  But this is a short  version of it  and  I decide to picked Red little riding hood to fracture because   she likes red.  first we had to w  write the story if we made the story up and then we made a castle with google drawing because post story tale have a castle. 

what type of irony is it?

HI Bolggers


it's me caprice here this post is about verbal irony and if you don't  know what verbal irony is  it is when a person says or writes one thing and means another or uses words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning.   so at the moment   in inquiry  we have been look at global Issue like racism and more.

Angles numeracy

Kia ora bloggers,

For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles.  

We learnt about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°),
right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°). 
We also learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles. 
We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertices
(a corner where two straight lines meet).

For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter
of our name - can you  figure out if they are acute, right angle or obtuse?

Down and old

Kia ora bloggers,

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example:  Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus.  But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

The amazing race on maths

Hi Bloggers,

For numeracy this week, we have been learning about grid references and
we have been working on 4 and 6 digit grid references.

We learnt that we read across the bottom of the grid first (Eastlings) and then
up the side second (Northlings).  

Our task today was to look at an aerial map of our school, write down the 6
digit grid references for the letters that our teacher had put on it, and then go
in hunt of those points.  At each point there was 1 or 2 letters.  Once we had
them all, we had to come back into the hub and unscramble the letters to figure
out what it spelt.  The secret sentence was ‘Happy Birthday Zoe’.

I really enjoyed the task.  Have you ever had to use grid references before
in real life?  What was it for?

See you next time, 

North ,south,east,west

Kia ora Bloggers, 

For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions.  We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebots through the grid to various locations.We had to programme the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forwards, backwards, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W.  It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to de-bug (find a problem and fix it).

Here is an example of my algorithm

The twits

Kia ora Bloggers,

This week we have been looking carefully at making inferences when we read or watch something.  

An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.  For example,  when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair nets and this is required in all food factories.

The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.

Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.  

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time!
