Temperature, Length and Capacity

 I measured temperature and capacity.  

I first I filled up the cylinders with water.  Then I did my measurements on capacity using 2 large and 2 small measuring cylinders. My measurements were 140ml, 80ml, 8ml, and 14ml

After that I used thermometers to measure the temperatures. I filled up 2 lunch boxes hot and cold and measured the temperature. My Tempertures were 12°C and 30°C

I found this activity hard because I couldn't read the measurements well.

Maori Revising

 We revised all the things we learnt during the past term. 

First we played a game were we had to try and memorise the cards. We also had to say the words that matched the picture on the card.

Then I answered some questions in Maori. I used the Maori dictionary to help me. One of the questions were: ko wai to hoa? Which means who is your friend. 

This task was a bit difficult because I had to use the Maori Dictionary.

Balancing with Table Tennis Equtiment

 Today we used table tennis equpment to help us with balance.

First Mr Ogilvie tought us how to hold a table tennis bat. We hold it like we are doing a handshake and then we hold the back side like a gun.

Then we were trying to bounce the ball on our table tennis bat by using our forehand as many times as we could I bounced it 61 times then it fell.

Then we bounced the ball again but with our backhand I bounced it 23 times then the ball fell.

Lastly we were playing a game of table tennis the challenger was the one that does the serve. The serve name was drop serve we had to drop the ball and hit it after it bounced. 

This was easy because I already know the skills to play table tennis.

Explaination Starter

I wrote 3 different titles and introductions in different categories. There are Basic Fact, Question Hook and Explain Emotion.

Basic Fact is stating a fact that is true. An example is How an Airplane Flies An airplane is an object that flies. An airplane needs lift, drag and thrust in order to fly.

A question hook is when you ask the reader something that they don't know.  An example is Airplanes, do you know how it works? They fly by using lift, drag and thrust.

 Explain emotion is like trying to get the reader to get an emtional feeling while reading. An example is Airplane Madness 

If we don’t have airplanes or helicopters, then we wouldn’t have transport for people who want to travel. Airplanes uses thrust, drag, and lift when they fly.

Skim and Scanning

We used skimming and scanning to help us find information.

First we skimmed for the  six keywords. Skimming is acting the an airplane and reading along the book.

Then we scanned for 4 facts in chronological order. Scanning is like a helicopter and stop to look at that specific paragraph or information that you need.

I enjoyed this activity because using skimming, scanning and chronology helps my  work easier.

Measuring Different Lengths

My group, Mathmaticians and I measured different objects lengths.

First we measured different objects. Then we measured their lengths.

Next we wrote the measurmentof the objects length.

Lastly we took photos of the objects  on the slide.

I found this activity easy because all it was, was measuring objects length.

Maori Names

 We learnt the maori alphabet and people's names from maori to english.

First names we learnt are Irihapeti (Elizabeth), Hakopa (Jacob), Kararaina (Caroline), Tarati (Dorothy).

Then we wrote our names in maori my name is Mercy which in maori is Merki.

Lastly we picked 3 names of the maori names and compared it with maori colours.

I thought this activity was hard because I did not know a lot of maori the tools I used was maori dictionary and the maori dictionary didn't have all the names.
