Simliar Simple Machines

 Fun fact about wheel and axle is that the wheels generally spin in a balanced circle around an axle. Wheel and axel is used to move heavy objects from a place to a another place.


Unlike a nail, a screw has spiral grooves down its spike. A screw is pressed down against wood and turned with a screwdriver. The grooves cut into the wood. Screws is to hold luquid into a crate so not luquid would spill.


A pulley makes moving heavy loads a lot easier. A single pulley simply changes the direction of an object. Pulley is moving a heavy object from a low place to a high place.

Hook

An hook needs to be exciting and telling the reader an surprising fact to get their attention. Yesterday we watched a video about how to write a introduction in a explanation report. 

After that talked about what we knew about Mr Ogilvie. Then we choose the most inportant facts about him. Mr Ogilvie told us questions and one of them were a lie and the other two true.

Did you know the largest chocolate bar weighed 5,792.50 kg's. Chocolate is made out of cocoa beans. You have to roast the cocoa beans and melting it in the chocolate liquor. Then blending it with milk and sugar.

Did you know thst fireworks were orignated around 2000 years ago. It consist of powder, a fuse and flash paper. When all three mixtures work together the firework will make a loud bang.
 
Did you know that butterflys can taste with their feet. A life cycle of a butterlfy has 4 steps. There are eggs, caterpillars, chrysalis and butterfly. The life cycle of a butterfly takes 28 to 32 days.

I need to find more important and intersting facts about chocoalate, fireworks and caterpillar.

Calender

This is how to create a caleneder

Step 1: Choose a hard dates for people to read.

Step 2: Circle the two of the numbers from the date.

Step 3: Write down the date in a text box.

Step 4: Challange other people with your questions.


Balancing

 The activity that we were challanged on was balancing while using sports equipment.

The rugby ball activity was where we had to get in to four or five people in a group. How we had to pass the ball to one of our partners was to pass side ways with one foot up.

This was an hard but challanging activity I need to work balancing.


The activity we did was balancing and passing with a netball.

The netball passing activity that we had to was to pass the net ball the partners chest. The tricky part was that we had to balance on one foot and we got to pass the ball a litte bit to the left, right, over or down.

This activty was pretty easy and hard at the same time but it was fun. I don't need to work on balancing.

The challanging activity I did was to hit the hockey ball while balancing.

The challange was to stop and hit the hockey ball to my partner and trying not to get my tipping point. The fun part was that the person rolling the ball didn't need to balance.

This challange game was really easy and fun to do. I don't need to work on balancing.


This activity that was really hard to do was the fizzbee catching.

The main point of this is activity was to catch the fizzbee and to throw it to my partner. The hard was to catch it and throw it because we had to throw the fizzbee like a rugby ball.

This fizzbee task was really hard to me because I really need to practise balancing.



The last balancing activity was the basketball throw.

The main idea was to bounce the ball and passing it like the netball passing to the chest. To make it challanging we got choose to bounce the ball to the right and left hand. I was doing different kinds of balancing to find my tipping point.

This was the easy ut hard activit that I ever done, but I need to work on my balancing.




Maori questions

I learnt how to ask and answer questions.

I needed say that the object is on the book in te reo. The sentence is kei ruga i te pukapuka. 

Whaea Odie asked everyone the same question and we answered with what we had on our card.

Then we had to make a poster with 10 kitchen items and I had to write it the names in Maori.

This Maori task gave me more information for me to learn for the up coming weeks.



Reciprocal Reading

The main activity I did was reciprocal reading and keyword.

The main story the we read was the story about Where We Lived. We had two leaders for each page the leader role is to tell the group what to do. 

 The clarifier tell us if we have any tricky words. The claifier asked us all the keywords that we need know We got one person to ask questions is the where someone asked the group if they have questions. 

The second most inportant role that we used was the questioner. The questioner told us how where the battle was held and how many people died.

This activity was intersteing to do because the my group gave out hard words and the meaning of this.

Answers and question.

 These questions are here for you to answer. 

Block Twister

 The task we did was based on balancing.

The game that was based on balancing was block twister. The point of the game is to put one of the body parts on a square but we are not allowed to put two body parts on the same block.

After that Mr Wong showed us his ways of safe falling and taking the damage. Each falling way he showed us was cool.

This was a great activity and I want to do this again some time.  

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly

The cause and effect fits within the mechanism structure of an explanation. The activity we did was the life cycle of a butterfly.

The meaning of cause is why something bad happens or good. Effect is what something or someone is doing after the cause happens.

An example of a caterpillar cause and effect is caterpillar eggs are laied under a leaf an therefore an animal will not eat find them.


This activity was intersting because I got to write down cause and effect.



How to ask someone to pass something on the left and right

I learnt how to tell someone to pass something on the left and right in Te Reo.

The Maori words that Whea Odie taught us last week us were tenei, tena, tera. 

The new sentence I learned was Hoatu te ... ki te taha maui. For example hoatu te paihere pukapuka
 (book) ki te taha mauiay te taha maui.

I need to keep on practising the Maori sentence so I can say it to Mr Wong and Mr Oglivie. 



The three similar simple machines

Three of the simple machines are similar machines that help people finish work easier. They are: lever, wedge and incline plane.

Reciprocal Reading

The main activity I did was reciprocal reading and keyword.

The main story the we read was the story about Maori Battlion it talks about what happerened in 19.14. We had four leaders for each page the leader role is to tell the group what to do. 

The perdictor is to predict what they thought the story would be about. The clarifier tell us if we have any tricky words.

The questioner is the where someone asked the group if they have questions. Lastly the summariser, summariser, tells the group what the story is about in a short sentence.

This activity was intersteing to do because the my group gave out hard words and meanings.

Commenting

I commented on Emmanuel blog about his time blog post. How to make a good comment is to greet them nicely and say if you did the same thing as them and alway say something nice when you finished your comment. 

This commenting actvity was great to do because I got to talk to a person that kind of did the same thing as me. I can ger ideas from the person I commented to.

SSR Selfie

 I read the whole book of Minecraft combat handbook. The illustrator of the book is Stephanie Milton.

They're different kinds of potions - slow falling, swiftness, strength, instant healthing, jump boost

How to fight - use slow falling when the enemy is in the water.

What kind of armor to use.lLeather, iron, gold, diamond.

I enjoyed this book because it talks about information about mobs and buildings. Others could read this book if they haven't played minecraft before.



Pepositions

We learnt the three prepositions.

The first word was here that means tenei.

The second word was right there that means tena.

The third word was here that means tera.

I need to keep on practising the Maori words to say it to Mr Wong and Mr Oglivie.

Manners | PB4L

Manners are used to help or be nice to other people.

How to use manners are to greet someone, shake hands and eye contact.

Manners are shown to family members from far away, friends and people's parents.
 
Manners are also shown by encouraging other people to keep on going or offering food.

Other examples of manners are: thank you, your welcome, please, may I and others.



Showing manners to people can make them show manners back.


Problem Solving

The task that we were given was that we had to figure out time question.

First we had to tried and figure out that the answer is.


Next we had to write down why the answer is right.


Lastly we had to Mr Oglivie what we wrote.


This activity was easy because I already knew was time is.



Simple Machine In Real Life

 We found simple machines around our school.

An axle and wheel is using a stick and putting a wheel at the end of it. In the school we found a wheel and axle on a car.

An inclined plane is how people get other materials or objects up a ramp to get up high places. In the school we found a incline plane near the hall

A lever helps move something from a low place to a high place. In the school we found a lever and it was a person hand because we all have levers. 
           
A pulley can help lift certain materials up from a low level to a high level. In the school we found a pully that hold our school flag in the air.

Wedge is a machine that pushs something apart. We found a wedge in the school hall and near the junior class rooms.

A Screw is to hold liquid or objects together.  We found a tons of screws around the whole school. 

These simple machines are still used today around our school.

Cause and Effect

Cause and effect fit within the mechanism structure of an explanation.

Cause is where something bad happens or good. Effect is what something or someone is doing before the cause happens.

An example of cause is he got sent to prison. .... as a result ....


An example of an effect is Amy dropped her wallet in the drain. 


And a casual language for example therefore.


Cause is where something bad happens or good sometimes.But effect is what something or someone is doing before the cause happens.

Cause is where something bad happens or good. Effect is what something or someone is doing before the cause happens. Each of these three things can help make sentences.

Balance positions.

We did balancing activities in our enviroment.

We took a range of photos to show balance.

The first photo we took was us balancing on a wall.

The second photo we took was us balancing on school equipment.

The third photo was us trying to balance  with help from people.

The fourth photo was trying to do the least amount contact.

I want to do some challanging balancing next time.

Keywords

Keywords are words that unlock different reasons. The book that was based was Harrys War, that talk how he became a farm to a soldier.

Keyword from Harrys war was difficult to find. Each page had words that can unlock to different meaning to it. For example passchendaele. That means passchendaele is a place where Harry and soldiers went to war.

The man three that were choosen were conscription, dodge, d`odge is where you have to avoid something or someone. Passchendaele is a place where Harry and soldiers went to war.


Keywords can be in sentences they're lots of in Harrys War, that talks about how he became a farm to a soldier.

L.I. To use keywords to retell a text.

Abacus Counting

 The task I was given was counting numbers on a abacus. 

A abacus is how people use to count money in back in the days. All of the group had to count in 1's but me and four other people had to count in tenths.

The way I had to say was one tenths, two tenths, three tenths all the way to ten wholes. The hard part was saying it backwards. I got the hang of it when I did it a few times.

The video shows how to count backwards and forwards before and after. I said some words incorrectly in The video.

This activty was fun to film. I need to work on saying the words backwards.




Time Differences

 I learnt how to count time differences.

Differences are found between two things, and subtracting one of the others. 


How I found out the answer between nine o’clock and one o’clock. The answer is 4 hours difference because if you add four hours to nine o’ clock it will be one o’clock.


If the question is 1:50 and 2:25 the answer would be 0 hours and 35 minutes because I counted 10 minutes to make 2:00 and adding 25 minute to it the answer would be 35 minutes. The answer is 35 minutes


The hard part is 4:05 and 8:40. This is 4 hours and 35 minutes because adding four hour to 4:05 would be 8:05 and adding 35 minutes to it the answer would be 8:40. 


I learn the time difference. But I need to answer harder questions next time.

Balance

 Group B did an activity on balancing. The activity based on balancing and teamwork.

The meaning of balancing is to see if someone could hold a postion as long as they could without moving. Balancing is hard for the body because if someone stood still the body could fall backwards from being pushed.

The beam activity is a way to test our teamwork and balance. The main thing we had to do is get two people from each side to walk from the beam. We tried finding out how to get one person to the other side while balancing on the beam without falling onto the ground. This took us a lot of fail until Mr Oglivie showed us how to do it while blancing. 

The football balance, the main idea is to balance on the ball for the long time until our body would tell us to go off. My two partner had to hold me until I wanted them to let go and held me balance. 

This activity about balancing was kind of hard but I tried my best to do it. I need to hold balance on the ball longer.




Simple machines

There are 6 simple machines. Simple machine are machines that people use to move something around.

Axle and Wheel. An axle and wheel are one of the simple machines. An axle and wheel is using a stick and putting a wheel at the end of it and that makes the a object to move from place to place. An example of this is move a heavy boxs a certain place.

Incline plane. A incline plane it's how people get other material or object up a ramp to get up high places. An example of this is moving a heavy certain material up the incline plane.

A lever. A lever helps move something from a low place to a high place but it uses force to lift something. An example of this is moving a heavy stone using the lever to lift the stone to put something underneath the stone.

A pulley. A pulley help lift a certain material up somewhere very high to place it somewhere to build something. An example is a crain. A crain lift heavy pipes or wood to build a building.

Wedge. Wedge is a machine that pushs something apart. An example of this is a axe, a axe cuts wood in half.

Screw. A Screw is to hold liquid or objects together. The screw works by twisting around.

These simple machines are still used today to move objects.

To learn classroom questions Te Reo

I learnt how to ask classroom questions in Te Reo.

The Maori question that Whea Odie was teaching us was how to say do you understand in te reo. The way to say do you understand is kua marama. 

The second word was kua mutu. Kua mutu means finished or are you finish. 

I need to keep on practising the Maori words to say it to Mr Wong and Mr Oglivie.

L.I. To learn classroom questions.
