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 :> )

HERES THE WAKA

BYE BLOGGERS!!!!!!!!

 

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.

Catherine sports star

WALT think critically about texts.

Hi people

this week for reading we are focusing on sports related things like hockey, football and more. I am reading the book called Hooked on hockey, hooked on hockey is about a boy whose family all play hockey including him, he is in a hockey team with three other boys and one girl.

they play games every Sunday which means that he can only sleep in on Saturdays but the good thing about in door hockey is that their games are never cancelled so even if its raining or snowing they still play, whether that’s a good thing or not depends on if you like hockey or if you hate hockey.

sometimes they lose sometimes they win but the coach says its not about winning, its about trying your best and having fun.

i think i did well on the facts and the way i worded them, but i feel like next time maybe i should make the words line up a bit more and maybe add some more facts.

Bye 🙂
