Term 2 week 3 reflection

This week was an okay week, during maths we learned about Perimeter and Area, and at cooking we cooked some toasties and it was actually my first time trying toasties which was exciting.

we had to grate some cheese and the team i’m in all wanted sauce so someone got some sauce as well, while we did all that some bread was baking in the oven. to dry it out so that the sauce wouldn’t seep into the bread making the bread all soggy.

when the bread was done, we took it out from the oven and spreaded some tomato sauce on the bread with a table spoon, then, we sprinkled on some cheese will sharing it fairly with the rest of the team.

and then we put it into the oven again and the cheese started to melt and the whole kitchen started to smell like bread and cheese.

this week was fun.

Reflection

This week was enjoyable.

Netball went well on Tuesday this week because I really managed to run a lot and catch the ball and had fun on sports day, it was much better than last Tuesday because this time I knew what I was doing and tried hard to help the team I was in to score some goals. We lost in the end but what mattered the most was that we had fun and we all tried our best.

Something that challenged me was working on measuring and using the metric system, it  was challenging because this unit of maths  was still very new to me.

I learnt how to make AI music using SUNO AI during music, type in a prompt and then the AI will make 2 versions of that song for you.

My goal for this week is to achieve and work towards my goals from this term.

Performing Arts day 1

Hi Mr, Rea! this is my first lesson in performing arts, oh dear….its been so long since i’ve touched an instrument.

I only know a bit of violin but….my knowledge on them has gotten rusty over the time.

I enjoy music because its fascinating, how music isn’t just sounds and it can tell a whole story with just some notes or strings. how much effort and passion is put into each melody, how everything fits so well, and how everything just blends together.

For me, music is something that is important, it can change the mood, the scene and the story.

I used to learn piano before my piano teacher decided to move the Auckland and never came back so, I hope that this term I can get more used to using a few instruments and try out new instruments that I haven’t used before.

Thanks for reading this 🙂

Maori conversion pixton

In Maaori we have been learning how to use Pixton to make a comic about a basic Maaori conversation, we had to include three sentences in Maaori ( Ke the pehea koe? which means how are you, and Ko wait tou ingoa? what is your name and No hea koe, which means where are you from.

What am I learning?

pronounce Te Reo sounds

Introduce ourselfs in Te Reo Maaor

How does this show my learning?

To show my understanding of basic Maaori sentences to make a simple conversation.

I found this work just alright but sometimes it gets a bit challenging.

 

What am I wondering

Am I pronouncing the words correctly? can I make a basic conversation without looking at references?

 

Waka hourua

Hello bloggers :0

this week and last week for social studies we have been working on making our very own Waka hourua! we had to use Popsicle sticks, paper straws, small sticks, and some others like a cloth and cardboard.

I was in charge of making the board of the Waka, so I glued 5 Popsicle sticks into a little flat board and  and glued them together….lets say it was not easy to cut of the ends of the popsicle sticks with scissors, so I recommended that we should buy a saw but judging from a teachers reaction I guess we should just scrap that idea.

Violet built a little house for the middle of the Waka while Riamme made the paddles and Andrea made the sails.

after a lot of hard work, my team and I….have finally finished…( i also made some emergency rails :> )

Ramp it up oooor down

Hypothesis

I think the marble will roll further because the marble is more heavier thus making it roll further than the ping pong ball.

Steps

Get an egg carton or a flower pot tray, and then place the newspaper on the egg carton or a flower pot tray. Add something heavy on the edge if the newspaper is light in weight, and then….BAM!!! you have yourself a DIY ramp!

Example

Results

Roll Marble Ping pong ball
1 5 4
2 5.5 6
3 7.5 5
Average 6 5

Conclusion

In conclusion, the hypothesis was correct.  I believe the marble rolled  further than the ping pong ball because it relied on the force of gravity to eventually allow the marble to accelerate faster.

according to this article-  https://www.stem-inventions.com/sfg-roller-coaster#:~:text=The%20marble%20relies%20on%20the,track%20length%20will%20be%20longer.

science paper planes 27 feb 2024

Hypothesis (What I think will happen)

I think the big plane will fly further than the small plane, as the big plane has bigger wings which will make it fly further.

Background

The first paper plane was made around 200 years ago.

The longest distance ever flown by a paper plane was 88.1 metres.

There are four forces that act on the paper plane when it is flying.

  • Thrust how fast it is pushed
  • Lift how much wing area can be pushed up
  • Gravity, pulls the plane down
  • Drag, slows the plane down

Equipment

You will need

    1. A4 paper
    2. A5 paper
    3. chalk
    4. metre stick

 

How to fold the planes ( videos by me and Andrea 🙂 )

Results

first throw : the small plane flew further than the big plane.

second throw: the big plane flew further than the small plane.

third throw: the big plane flew further than the small plane.

Conclusion

My hypothesis  was correct because the big plane flew further, I think that the big plane flew further because the big plane had bigger wings that might have gave a bigger platform for the air to push the plane further.
