Balance callange

We made our own challenge based on balancing.

First, we planned out what challenge we were doing. Our plan was to stand on one leg and swing our arms back and forth while holding the bottle.

Next, we tested out our challenge by avoiding our tipping point while making the bottles touch each other.

Lastly, we took a photo and recorded our results and we made our poster. 

I need to get better at my print design rules becuase I was struggling with my print resign rules.

 

Prepotions

I learnt about prepotions in maori.

I learned how to say left (maui), right (mato), above (runga) by playing a game called maui and mato where we had to move a stick left or right.

Next I answered questions to tell where items were by using prepositions.

Movment

This week we learned reflection, rotation, and translation.

A reflection is when you take an image for example you have your hand to the left and the reflection flips it over to the right.

A rotation is taking an image then turning it around.  In real life you can turn 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees.

Translation is when you move from left, right, forward, and backwards, you are sliding the image.

Main ideas

The book Bright Fine Gold is about gold miners in caves mountains.

cuase and effect

We wrote a cause and effect sentence for each of our mechanisms 

I wrote the mechanisms for how chocolate is made and how fireworks work.

I wrote the mechanisms and used cause and effect to put inside the mechanisms. 

Chocolate:
Chocolate is made by roasting the cocoa beans and removing the nibs in order to blend it to form a liquid.

You then pour it into a mold so it can set. The shape and size of your mold effects

The chocolate that results when you put the chocolate in the frezeer to harden.

Fireworks:
Cylindrical paper containers are used in order to hold all the firework parts together.

The fuse is used to create delays in order for the firing of multiple firework displays.

The bursting charge is used when the explosion goes off sometimes stars are included with the reaction.

Next time, I should work on my mechanisms to add more information.

Basic Fact Boxes

I worked on a can-do called Basic Facts Boxes

I did the speed demon challenge. I did addition up to ten.  

I did the speed demon challenge, I did addition up to ten.

My time was 4 minutes and 55 seconds I got 100 out of 100 corecet. Next time I will improve my time by

practicing at home and at school.

Hook

Yesterday I watched a video of an introduction and wrote hooks. 

First we got to practise writing hooks by writing hooks about our teacher. Hooks catches people's attention by using surprising facts and a question.

Next we wrote hooks about how chocolate is made, the life cycle of a butterfly and how fireworks work.

After that we wrote an introduction for the 3 texts.

Did you know that butterflies only live for a few weeks? The butterfly life cycle starts with an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and a butterfly. Did you know that it takes 28 to 30 days to complete the life cycle.

Did you know it takes about 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate. Chocolate is made by roasting cocoa beans, removing nibs and lastly blending the nibs to form a chocolate liquid. The chocolate takes 5 or 8 days depending on what chocolate it is.

Did you know that fireworks were made over 2000 years ago. The parts of a firework are the cylindrical paper container with string, a fuse, a bursting charge made with gunpowder and stars for the reaction. This process only takes 2 hours.

Next time, I should work on my introduction to add more information.
