Touch Rugby

For kiwi sport we leanred and practised basic skills of touch rugby. To start off we practised tapping the ball, catching, and passing the ball.

After that we played passing drills to get used to commiting to the ball and catching. 

I enjoyed touch rugby today and want to play touch rugby.

Inquiry - Insulation

 Insulation is stopping heat from escaping . There are five different insulators that was experimented on and it was: Plastic, paper, polystyrene, glass, and tins. 

The materials that keep things warm are: plastic, paper, and tin. The materials that keep things cool are: plastic, polystyrene, and glass. 

The material that kept things warm and cold best was polystyrene.

Maori - Kupu

 This week for maori we translated words into english. 

To help us with the activity we used the maori dictionary to search up the maori words that we didn't know the meaning of.

There was another activity we practised. There were pictures with different weathers, we had to match the words with the picture. 

Measuring - Converting

Converting measurment is using multiplication and division for the width, height, and length of something.

If multitplying a number to 10 shift the decimal place to the right only once. For example: If I multiply 60.0 by 10 you shift the decimal place to the right so the number is 600. The number got bigger.

If dividing a number to 100 shift the decimal place to the left twice. For example: If dividing 600 by 100 you shift the decimal place to the right twice so that means the number is 6.00 . The number got smaller.

If shifting a number to the left, you don't add a zero, you shift the zero from the decimal place. Also the amount of zero's mean how many times the decimal point moves to the right or left.

Place value is helpful for converting measurments. 

Look below the converting measurments DLO. 

 

Experiment - Inquiry

For inquiry this week we did an experiment. We did this experiment to see how much water was absorbed into the material and how much was not absorbed. The material I used was cotton rags. 

 First step we had to pour 100ml of water into a beaker. Next we did 5 dips of food coloring, then grabbed 50g of cotton. After that we placed the cotton in a pile,  poured the 100ml of water into the cotton rags slowly. 

After that we poured the not absorbed water back into the beaker. Lastly we poured it into the proper measuring container and measured it.

I enjoyed doing this task I want to do more experiments.

Maori - Te tinana

 For maori this week we learnt body parts. We had to match the maori body part into the english body part. We had to highlight the ones we knew and left the the ones that we searched up blank. For example:(arero - tongue).

I enjoyed this activity and need to learn my maori body parts better. 

Look below for the maori activity.

Informal & Formal Language and Sitaution

What is formality? Formality tells others when to use formal and informal language.

Formal means times when rules and politeness need to be followed. An example for a formal language: "Greetings Siale pleasure to meet you, do you want to come to a cafe." 

Informal means time when rules and politeness don't have to be followed. An example for a informal language: "Chur toko how you've been, wanna play touch on the field with the boys."
