Postitions

 I learnt about maori prepositions that can help me in the classroom. 

The prepostition I learnt were tenei which means here, tena which means there, and tera which means over there.

I enjoyed the subject but I need to practise more as I get some of the maori prepositions mixed up.

Basic Facts Boxes

I did speed demon up to 20. I got 6 minutes 28 seconds to complete it and also got 96/100.

Next time I answer them I should be alot faster by practising so my time would be 4 mins or 5 mins.





Hot Dog Art Time | SSR

 I read 47 pages of Hot Dog Art Time by Dan McGuiness

The book talks about 3 animals entering an art contest in an art museum, the most famous painting gets stolen. Hot Dog, Kev, and Lizzie have to chase down the robber and send him in jail.

I really enjoyed Hot Dog Art Time because they have to catch the robber and send him to jail


Explanation

I wrote an explanation about how plants grow.

First, I wrote an introduction about the explanation. A plant is important because some plants like trees give us oxygen for us to breathe in.

Next I wrote the mechanisms about how a plant grows. Water- Growing a plant requires water to pour on a plant. The water will sink into the soil to be absorbed by the roots.

Light- Growing a plant requires light to help the plant grow. The light gives energy to plants so it will grow.

Air- Growing a plant requires air to help the plant breathe. The air avoids plants from turning brown or yellow.


After I wrote a summary about how plants grow. plants require water to sink in the soil to be absorbed by the roots, light to give energy to the plant to help it grow, and air to avoid the plant from turning brown or yellow.


Next time, I should be more specific on the introduction and follow the structure of TIMES.

Balance

Group B got to balance in different ways and tried different techniques to try not to fall. 

First Mr Ogilvie taught group B about what balancing is and postitions to not fall. Balancing is to find your tipping point so you won't fall. 

The first activity group B did was to balance on a bench. We had to get past the other people on the bench.

The second activity group B did was to balance on a soccer ball for as long as possible. My partners stood on the ball up to 5 seconds but lost balance many times.

 I thought balancing on the ball was the hardest because I lost balance many times.




Simple machines

Simple machines are tools to help people work easier.

A lever is used to lift heavy objects from a low ground to a high ground. 

An incline plane is a ramp to move heavy objects from a low ground to a high ground. 

An axel wheel is used to move heavy objects easier.

A pully can lift objects from a low level to a high level.

A screw is a tool to attach objects together.

A wedge is used to cut hard objects.

Simple Machines are still commonly used today to move objects.
