Inquiry | Understanding Materials

Insulators help the heat to move from one place another place like a wall. 

The best material that can keep hot and cold is polystyrene.

The best material that can keep things cold is plastic, paper, polystyrene

This was a interesting because it was fun to experiment the difference of hot and cold.

LI: to learn and practice experimental methods.

Maori

 This week for maori we learnt words in maori. 

We learnt  some main questions in maori, He aha te ra?, he aha te huarere, and kei te pehea. Theses 3 main questions ask what the date is how you feel and lastly what the weather is.

Experimenting | Inquiry

This week for inquiry we experimented with different martial's to see witch material could absorb the most amount of water and to learn how to conduct precise experiment.

First we chose the material that we wanted to use. My group chose nappy brand 2 Then we got 100ml of water into a cup. Then we put in 5 drops of food coloring. 

Then We got a tray and put the nappy inside. After we got the water we slowly poured it onto the nappy. After that we lifted it up and saw that no water was left and all of the water was absorbed. 

I really enjoyed this task because I got to see how it happend.

Formal and Informal

Formality tells people when to use formal or informal language at the right time. 

Formal is when you have to follow the rules and respect people like when someone special comes to the school you have to be nice. 

Informal is when you don't need to follow any rules and don't need to be respectful like when your  friends come over.

Formal and informal are the opposite of each other.  

L.I. To Identify formal and informal language. 

Maori

This week for maori, we learnt body parts, and learnt numbers an the weather.

We highlighted the words that we knew in in blue. Then the ones that we didn't know stayed in black. We used the Maori dictionary to search for the ones that we didn't know. 

Then we revised numbers, words, and  the date. We also learnt the words to describe the weather. 

I enjoyed this because I got to learn new words in Maori.
