Party Popper Design

My group gryffindor designed a party popper

First our group discussed to each other for how are we going to design our party popper. Then we got our materials that we need for our design. The materials the we got was a rubber band, paper cup, glitter stickers, tooth pick

Next we used the glitter stickers for the inside. We also used a tooth pick for our stopper and we used a long rubber band. we made a hole through the cup to put the tooth pick as a stopper for our rubber band.

Last my group tested the party popper to see if it worked and it was a success. 

I enjoyed this because I learnt how to make a party popper and I also learnt new things.

Simple Machines

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

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.

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

LS1's Treaty

 LS1 learnt about the 3 P's in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr. Ogilvie introduced the 3 P's in the Treaty Waitangi. They are Protection, Partnership, Participation. 

Then in groups we wrote statements about the three p's in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 P's are all connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these three p's because they are going to help me of what I need to do in class.

Emergency shelters

 Resource Requisition | Inquiry 

 All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminium sheets, and concrete walls.

The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong. 

The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof.  This material has been  chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter. 

The aluminium was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in.  This material was chosen because aluminium is strong. 

The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava. 

This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.

Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.  

Assess Likelihood

We learnt about assessing likelihood. The 5 potential risks are: low, likely, possible, elevated, and extreme.

First we rated the situations from 1 to 5 of the risk. As a group we discussed what level we thought fit the situation.

Next we wrote down multiple consequences on what would have happened.

After that we made our own situations that are related to that risk level.

We enjoyed this task and it was also hard to make our own situations.

LI: to assess the likelihood 

LI: to assess consequences

Inquiry

 I learnt about hazards and risks. In a group we thought of risk and hazards for 4 categories. 

School

For this category the hazards was playground, scissors, ruler and paint brush. Some of the risks are tripping over, cutting yourself, hitting yourself and getting paint on yourself.

Home

For this category the hazards was fire place, plate, trampoline, and washing machine. Some of the risks are burning yourself, dropping the plate, water coming, and spraining your ankle.

Sport

 The hazards were tennis ball, cricket bat, discus, and rippa belt. Some risks are getting hit, hurting yourself, breaking something, and falling.

Community

 The hazards were rocks, lightning, pothole, and a plane. Some risks are tripping over the risk, getting struck by lightning, falling into a pothole, and crashing the plane.

For this task it was kind of hard to think of a hazard and a risk but this was fun task.
LI: to demonstrate prior knowledge.

Light and Sound Vocabulary

First we had to match words from a list with the definition.We could use a dictionary to help us.

Next we did the draw, Act, Find and animate.

My group did prism for draw we did a rainbow and we also did a video of vibrating means moves back and fourth (shakes) very quickly.

I learnt specific meanings and actions by doing this activty.

L.I. To learn the vocabulary of light and sound.

   

Light and Sound

L.I. To demonstrate prior knowledge.

For this inquiry we had to show our prior knowledge.

 We needed to find 20 images. 

Then I put it in the conner after that  I  connect it to light or sound. 

After that I explained why I know these creates light because its bright and it has differnt kind of colours.                                                     

Martime Explorers

L.1. to study the history of NZ Martime explorers

 went to the Martime Musemum to find out about the martime explores.

I saw a lots of boats like kayaks and waka.

I found out the Sir Peter Blake was the best New Zealand sailor.

I watched a video about the frist explores coming to Aotearoa.

I enjoyed Learning about things I never new before.

Cybersmart| Safe and strong password

Today in class I did a document to make a new password, to make a strong password you will need symbols, numbers and word you can also put capital letter everyone.
