LI - To comment about the ball that you think is better for playing handball.


The rate for the tennis ball is 9/10.
For my opinion I wrote up...

I like the tennis ball because it is better for handball.

And for reason I wrote... 

The tennis ball is good for handball because you can bounce it low if your challenging tall person and they will be out.

And for my explanation I wrote 1 The tennis ball is good for playing handball because it makes the game more challenging for people.

Opinion:The tennis ball can be used for skimming people out.

Venn Diagram | Dippy Dinner Drippers | Space Food.

LI - To understand test using reciprocal reading.

The differences and the similarities in the text can be found by comparing and contrasting using a Venn diagram to explain.

The Dippy Dinner Drippers is a book about a family that are messy eaters. They always have a weird mix of foot to eat at once. For an example Milk coco pops and marmalade.

The similarities of both of the books are - both books are the same


 

Inquiry

LI - To learn different properties of light

We had a experiment about properties of Light, Sound, and Wave

We experimented with light, sound and waves. First we combined colors together to figure out
what happens to the light when it passes through the different colored liquid.

When we shone the light through blue and yellow it created into green and the blue absorbed the yellow.
We were using red, blue, and yellow colored liquid for this experiment.

Next we started on with the sound experiment. 

We used the clappers for making the sound high using the beads we had to use the clappers also for making the beads move. It had a  little bit of movement in this experiment.

Inquiry - Properties of light

LI - To observe the properties of light.

Light is something really bright that helps you while your somewhere very dark or if you run out of power.

For our first thing we had to do was we had to measure the line of the light so that we can see if the line for the light was straight. We had to use our peace of paper that had a gap and we needed to use the paper to make a straight line with the light.

Next we had to use a wooden opiate object. The opiate object blocked the way for the light to pass and to continue traveling and also means the light can not go through the opiate object. After that we had to use the top of the glass cup and it didn't really block the light because the light continued to travel around the top of the glass. When me and my partner finished using the top of the glass we started to use the bottom of the glass and on the bottom of the glass the light kind of bounced of the glass.

The last things that were that we had to use a glass mirror, a transparent object and the light with the prism.
First of all we got to use the glass mirror and we discovered that the light can reflect off any object.
After we got to use the glass mirror we started to use the transparent object.
We had to use the transparent object for covering the light and when we covered the light with the transparent object then the light changed into green.
After we were done using the transparent object we started using the prism with the light.The prism formed a rainbow when it hit the middle of the prism.

Time Template 4 | Maths | Rounding

Rounding is a math strategy that uses division and addition strategies.
Rounding means to circle it to the nearest ten, hundred, thousands, and more.

Addition and division are both operations the are used for rounding.
To round, the person needs to find the mean, to find the mean get a set
of numbers like 5,7,1,9,3 and then add them altogether which would make 25.
Then divide them by the amount of numbers there are which makes 5.

Here comes the rounding part comes in so if the numbers are 5-9 they are called
high five and the numbers that are 0-4 they are called four floor.
Look for the last digit.

Example: 21.85 now becomes 21.9 because 5 is above.

Rounding can help people to add and to divide to make maths easy or hard depending
on what level you are.

LI - investigate units in time

Swimming - T3W2

LI - To learn new swimming activity's.

Today for swimming my swimming couch was Shanti. First we learnt how to do a safe pool entry. For doing a safe pool entry we need both our hands on the side of one of our hips then we need to slide ourselves carefully into the pool.

Next we did freestyle. To do freestyle we have our arms like a wave taking turns going out of the water and back in the water. After, we started on with streamline.
For how to do streamline we put your hands and arm straight and on top of our heads with our feet under the water while pedaling.

Also we did a side stroke floating with the swimming board.
If you use a board you hold the board in any hand and that hand has to be on top of your head while holding the board and your other hand on the side of your body also you have to pedal side ways.

For the last activity we did is called a dolphin dive. when you do a dolphin dive you need to swim with your bottom going up and down along with your stomach going in and out with both your hands on your sides.

Maori

LI - To learn the meaning of Maori and write it down in English.

For Maori this week we had to find out the meaning of some Maori words using translate and Maori dictionary.

In Maori we also played a game that helped us understand what we can write for an answer.
