Next we played a game of touch. The game was for learning how to play and how to use a two and three man settle.  

I did well at two man settles and three man settles, and I had an amazing time playing touch rugby. 

Fractions, decimals, percentages

 Fractions are equal parts of a whole, percentages are is a number or ratio that uses a fraction of 100, and decimals is a number that is less than one.

Fractions are equal parts of a whole. It uses the numerator and the denominator. The numerator explains how many parts it has. The denominator shows how many equal parts it was divided into. 

Percentages is a number of a fractions of 100 of a whole. it can be written with decimals and fractions. To write a percentage as a decimal divide by 100.

A decimal is a number that can be defined as a number of a whole. Digits following the decimal point shows a value smaller than one. 

Shelter Materials

Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from. 

When building a shelter, measuring the amount of materials being used is important so it keeps it balanced. 

An example of materials used for a tsunami shelter are concrete, chicken wire, metal ties, aluminum, popsicle sticks, steel door, and hard clear plastic. 

Using chicken wire is good for putting in the concrete so it can connect it to the other sides. 

Hard clear plastic can be used for the windows because it doesn’t break easily like glass and because it's transparent which allows people to see what's happening on the outside.

Popsicle sticks are good for supporting the force of the impact. This material can also be used to anchor the shelter into the ground so it doesn’t tip over. The properties of wood are the shape that has been made. 

Not every material can support every natural disaster. Different types of shelters can keep people safe by using the correct materials depending on what disaster they are being protected from.

Touch Rugby | Kiwi Sport

This week for kiwi sport we played touch, doing the 2 man settle and the 3 man settle. 

We had 2 groups which one team was a defender and the second team were attackers, first we did the 2 man settle then the 3 man settle. 

To do the 2 man settle you plant the ball then go over the ball so that their partner can pick it up and pass it to the person that planted the ball. 

To do a 3 man settle there is 3 people and someone plants the ball and the other person picks it up and passes it to the third person. 

Statistics | Maths

This week for maths my partner and I did averages scores from athletics day. 

We used data and added it up with google sheets, we used addition/multiplication for example, 5+5+3+6+8=27 to do it faster and easier you could do (2x5) + (3x3) + (2x4) = 27, this is easier and quicker because instead of using many numbers it would be slower and harder to add them up. 

Then we did the averages, to get the averages you add the numbers together and then divide and get the total for example, 2,3,3,5,7, and 10 is 30 divided by 6, is 5. 

Multiplication is easy to add up data and addition can sometimes be hard.   

Reading Tasks | Reading

 This week for reading I did table mat, making connections, synthesis using a book called "White Water Action"

Screenplays are the only the parts of a story that are speech. 

Screenplays have the scene names, names of the person speaking, what they are saying, and how the person should be speaking. Sometimes screenplays give short sentences that tell what the actors should do.

The scene name tells what the scene will be about. By writing the name of the person it shows who will be speaking, but the person's name is written in all capitals.

This we interesting to find out how screenplays work.

Design Shelter

This week our group has designed an emergency shelter that will protect against natural disasters. 

First we looked at different shelters and the shape of the shelter. We had to figure out if it was a good or a bad shelter in different conditions.

Next we thought of a shape for our shelter which was a pyramid, and a cube. The reason why we chose these shapes was because if the wind was coming into the corner the wind would split into different directions. If the wind blows to a direction to the wall it will slide up that might make a vacuum. 

Then we created a shelter using the app Sketch up.

The materials that might be used to create our shelter were bricks, and stones. Bricks and stones are different types of bricks that are both heavy materials that can not be pushed by strong wind. 

If we changed things of  the shelter it would be adding windows on each side so we know what's happening outside. 

During this activity we found thinking of the shape hard but we found this fun because we were able to create a shelter.
