Simple machines

Did you know that there are 3 simple machines that help move heavy objects, which are pulley, screw, and wheel and axle. 

Up and Down

Today I learnt how to say up and down, and listed 10 items that are in the kitchen 

First Whea Odie tought us how to say Kei hea te....wicth means where is the object.

The next thing e learnt was over and under, they are runga and raro.

Lastly I did an activity where I find images on kitchen items and translate them in Maori. 

This activity was hard becuse it was diffucult for me to say the sentences 

Balance

We did 5 diffrent activities that envoled balance, For every activity we stood on one leg. 

For the first activity we used the frisbee, this was challenging becuse when my partner threw the frisbee at me I kep on dropping it. 

The second activity I did was the basketball, This was easy becuse I could stay in a steady position and not fall. 

The third Activity I did was the netball, this was easy becuse we were just passing it to each. 

The fourth activity envoled a rugby ball, this was hard becuse we couldent stay still. 

This finally activity envoled a hokeystick and a ball, this was difficult becuse we couldent stop the ball with the hokeystick. 

Calenders

 Calenders show us the Day, Week or Month. 

There are 12 months in the year, they are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, November, and December. 

Months have 28, 30, or 31 days. 

There are number patterns on a calender by looking for four connectinh days for example 20, 60, and 100. 

Knowing before and after number sequence and 7 timestables heps u read a Calender

Cause and Effect

This week I wrote cause and effect sentences.

I started off by putting back an explanation back together, stage one was about eggs, the second stage was about the caterpillars, the third stage was about chrysalis, and the fourth stage was about the butterflies.

Then I made sentences that used cause and effect in them as well as using causal language in the sentences. 

This task helped me learn more about causes and effects and how to use causal language.  

Tipping point

A tipping point is when you can hold a position and about to fall. 

We played a game alled block twister where our legs and arms go onto different parts of colour tiles while trying to keep our balancing until we got to our tipping point. 

After a while we got into a circle and talked more about our tipping pimts and how we could try and stop it. 

This game was hard becuse it was hard to move our body while we were in a really hard position to move a bodd, but i enjoyed playing this game. 

Passing

I learnt how to say a sentence to pass an object to someone on my left, and did some revision. 

We started off with the rivising on the lesson we did last week, tenei tena and tera, witch means here. there, and over there.

The new sentence I learnt was "Hoatu te turu ki te taha maui witch means", pass the chair the person on the left. 

This was kinda hard because it took me a while to learn how to say the sentence and how to pronunce them properly.  

Keywords

Texts have all kinds information that tells about a spasific kind of meaning. 

Keywords unlocks new information from words no knowing what they mean and helps by understanding it more.

An example for this is conscription, conscription is being forced to do somthing without having to choose. 

Keywords are unlocking more information from a word

Time

Digital and Analog time help us know what time of the day it is. 

Digital time displays numbers for minutes and hours and use Am or Pm to tell us what time of the day it is. 

Elapsed time is how much time has gone by. skip counting in 5s helps calculate how much time has elapsed. 

Using an analog clock makes it easier to calculate the elapsed time. 

Manners

Manners are about using words that are respectful. 

When using manners make sure to say to say thank you, please, welcome, may I etc, When asking for something or needing something. 

Manners is also holding a door for something and making eye contact and saying their name aswell and greeting someone. 

This first video shows about how to greet someone, by making eye contact and saying their name. 

The second video shows about how to ask for something that they want by saying please. 

This third video shows how to act when someone opens a door for someone. 

Using manners is about being respectful and always having eye contact and saying the persons name. 

Probem sloving

Today in groups we did problem solving about time. 

First we found out the answers to the problems.

Then we discused about how we figured out the answers.

Finally as a class we talked a about what the right answers were and what wern't. 

This was hard becuse it took us a while to figure out the answers.

6 Simple Machines

This week we found 6 simple machines around our school. 

These are the 6 simple machines. 

The screw helps attach objects together. 

The wheel and axel helps objects move around easier.

The wedge helps by pushing objects apart from each other.

The pulley helps by moving objects from and low level to a higher level. 

The lever helps helps by lifing heavy objects. 

The inclined plane helps getting object from a low level to a higher level.

Balancing

We did a balancing activity around our enviourment.

We took a range of photos about balancing, the first photo was balancing on a bench with our group.  

The second photo shows one person from the group balancing on equitment. 

The third photo shows two people balancing on equitment and helping each other not to fall. 

The fourth photo shows having one person balacing on there a person. 

The fifth photo shows the group balancing on each other with the least amount of contact. 

This activity was really enjoyable and hard becuse balancing on my group was difficult. 

Prepositions

This week I learnt diffrent kinds of prepoistions. 

The prepoisitions I learnd were tenei wicth means here, tena means there, and tera means over there. 

I enjoyed learning these prepoitions because I got to learn them in Maori and learn about what they mean.

Balance

Group B learnt about our balencing and our body.

We started off by talking about what balancing is and what it requires, Balencing is when you stand in a position trying not to fall. 

First we did a activity on balancing in different kinds of positions to see what kind of balancing method would work when someone pushes you over. 

After that we did the bench activity where two people on on opposite sides on the bench are trying not to fall and some how get to the end passing each other using teamwork.

Lastly we did the football balance activity were someone gets on top of the ball and your partners hold on to you until you feel steady, When you feel steady ask your partners to let go. 

Balancing is not that easy but if I keep practicing I will get better. 

Analog Time

 Analog clocks are a peice of technology that help tell time. 

A clock has three mechanisms. The second hand moves around the clock the fastet. 

The minute hand is the longest and moves when the second hand is completed 1 rotaion. 

A full rotaion of the minute hand is 1 hour. The hour hand moves the slowest and moves between the big numbers. 

An Analog clock requirs you to look outside to know if it is morning or afternoon.

Simple Machines

There ar six simple machines that people made to helps them to left heavy objects.

The screw helps attach objects together by rotating into the object and staying tightly together. 

The wheel and axel helps objects move around easier by pushing it to make it roll. 

The wedge helps by pushing tings apart from each other in difrent directions. 

The pulley helps by moving objects from and low level to a higher level. The lever helps helps by lifing heavy objects, it can also be used to meausre weight. The incined plane also helps getting object from a low level to a higher level but easier.

Classroom Questions

This week I learnt some classroom questions.

The first question I learnt with Whea Odiewas kua marama wicth means, do you understand? The next question she taught us was kua mutu, wicth means are you finished. 

These questions are pretty easy to learn but I will keep practicing until I can say the fluently.
