Simple Machines

Did you know there are three simple machines that help people build and work faster, which are pulley, wheel and axle, screw.

Kitchen Iteams

We did an activity about the kitchen.

First I found 10 pictures that are in a pictue and put them in a google draw.

Then I used Maori dictonary to label the items.

After we went on the mat and learnt a new sentence which is kei penei i te buka buka, that mean the pen is on the book.

I enjoyed this activty because I learnt a new sentence.

Then the second activty we did basketball for that acctivty you need to balance on one leg then if you wanted to make it more challenging you could dribble the ball then throw the ball to your partener.

After that for the thrid activty we did netaball and for that you need to just pass the ball around to your partner or group.

Calendars

Calenders show us the day, week or month.

There are 12 months in the year they are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August 

Months have 28, 30, or 31 days.

There are number patterns on a calendar by looking for four conecting day for exmaple 20, 60, 100,

Knowing before and after number sequance and 7 timestables helps us reading a calendar

Passing

 I learned how to tell people to pass something on their left or right.

First we revised the 3 differnt words again tenei means by me, tena means over there, tera means way over there.

Then we learnt a new sentence "Hoatu te turu kei te taha maui". That means to pass the chair to your left.

I enjoyed this because I learnt a new sentecne and new words.

Prepostion

This week I learnt about prepostions in Maori.

The prepostions that we learnt were tenei, tena, and tera.

For example he pene tenei means the pen by me, pene tena means the pen is there, pene tera means the pen over there.

I enjoyed this because it was easy to say these words and fun learning it.

Simple Machines

This week my group and I went a look around to find 6 simple machines in our school.

Lever is used for lift or carrying heavy objects.

Wedge can be used to stop a door from closing.

Inclined plane is used for people to go up a hill.

Wheel and axel is used for to move things around for example: wheel and axel helps the rubbish bin move.

Pulley is used to pull the flag up.

These machines will help people build and work faster.

LI: to identify the six simple machines used in real life.

Manners are use when showing respect to people.

Always use manners if someone holds the door always say thank you or if need to go through say exscuse me.

We use manners so we show people how we use manners and showing respect.

                                 This video shows always do eye contact and greet them.

                                            This video shows always ask if need something.

                              This video show if someone holds a door always say thank you.

Problem Solving

Today we did problem solving about time.

First we figured out the awnsers to the problems. 

Then we talk about how did we figure it out. 

After we all discused if we got the awnsers right.

This was hard because I got confused with the minute hand and the hour hand.

Balanceing

We did balancing activties. We took arange of photos. 

The first photo was showing a group of people balanceing on a bench.

The second picture shows the person is balanceing on the playground equipment.

The third picture shows that they are trying to balance together and not fall.

The fourth picture shows that the person on top is balanceing and trying not to fall.

The fifth picture shows that the group is helping the person on top to balance.

This was very hard because it was hard to help the person balance

Balance

Group B has learnt about balancing.

We talked about which of our body parts or postions that you could balance on.

Then we tried a bench activty we had 2 teams we had 2 people from each team to go on the bench the point of that was we have to go pass each other and if we fall you have to restart.

Last I did a football activty I had to try and balance on the ball while I holding on to 2 people. When I feel like I can balance my own I let go.

I need to get better at balancing on differnt parts of my body.

Analog Time

 Analog clocks are a pice of technolgy that help tell time.

A clock has three mechainsm. The second hand moves around the clock the fastest the minute hand is the longest and moves when the second hand comppleter one rotation of the minute hand is one hour. The hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the bing numbers.

An analog clock requires you to look outside to know if it is morning or afternoon.

Simple Machines

Simple Machines are used tools for building and for carrying heavy materials, moving heavy materials. The six simple machines are used to make work more easier.

The screw is used to hold materials.

The lever is used for to carry heavy materials

The inclined plane is used for to lift heavy materials.

The wheel axle is used for to move heavy materials.

The lever is used for to lift or cary heavy materials.

The wedge is used for push materials apart.

The pulley is used for building and carying heavy materials very high and to the ground.

These machines are good for buliding and carying heavy materials

Maori

This week I learnt classroom questions.

First one was Kua Marama means do you understand? 

The second question was Kua Mutu means Finshed/Finshed?

These questions were easy to understand but hard to say the questions and I will keep on practiseing until I say it right.
