Lake Daniells Thank You Letter

Dear Lana,

I would like to thank you very much for coming along and doing the Lake Daniells tramp with the class. I would also like to thank you for transporting me, Summer and Finn to the Lake Daniells walk. I would also like to thank you for all the help and support you did. I really appreciate you coming along.

The things I really enjoyed on the tramp was the blue water that was amazing, the really cool scenery when we were high up, the view of the lake was really cool and the hut was a really cool place. The walk was an amazing walk over and back which i really liked and I bet you did to.

Once again I would like to thank you very much for coming along to the tramp. Next time we do a tramp I would love you to come. I really enjoyed you coming on this tramp and again thank you very much.

Kind Regards, Jack

WALT Show an increasing understanding of how to shape texts for different purposes and audiences.

Context: Rotary Speech Competition and the New Zealand Elections

Success Criteria: we will have met our learning intentions when we can

• Plan our speech using Coggle
• Construct texts that show an awareness of purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form.
• Convey and sustain personal voice where appropriate.
• Write and film our own version of a “edTalk” to share with our peers.

Matariki

We are learning to present our thinking and ideas in a range of ways.  

Context: Matariki

We will have been successful when we have gathered our vocabulary around Matariki and presented it in a word cloud on our learning blog.

We went to abcya.com to build our word clouds.

Holiday Park Ages

Mathematics. We are learning to plan and conduct investigations using the statistical enquiry cycle:
- determining appropriate variables and data collection methods;
- gathering, sorting, and displaying multivariate category, and time series data to detect patterns, variations, relationships and trends;
- comparing distributions visually;
- communicating findings, using appropriate displays.

We will have met the success criteria when we

• Develop an understanding of how to use a tally chart and a frequency table.
• Use a spreadsheet to record our tally / frequency data.
• Correctly develop a graph or chart using a spreadsheet programme. (Google Sheets)

Develop a clear statement based on our graphed data and share our learning on our learning blogs.

Statement

The most popular age group is 9 - 11 because they have 10 and that's the highest. The lowest is 15 because there is only 2. The reason that there is only 2 15 year olds because holiday parks are meant for younger kids. The reason 9 - 11 is the most popular because mainly if you are younger you can’t use as much equipment and some other things like playgrounds are short so it's harder for older kids.

Weta Poem

Weta Poem

Tree weta,

brown body and giant legs,

climbing around the pohutukawa tree,

searching for food,

foraging for something to help him last through the night,

Something is lifting up his nose,

a pohutukawa leaf,

He starts munching on the delicious nutrition.

He finishes,

a stoat slowly approaches him,

he attacks,

the stoat wounds him,

he bites the stoat,

Stoat gives a high pitched squeal, it leaves.

The weta,

Slightly wounded,

Edges it way slowly home,

Then he rests,

For he knows, he will need it.

Ball Dropping

WALT appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world.

WALT build an prior knowledge to carry out experiments and simple investigations.

This frame is a useful graphic organiser to remind you of the steps to be completed when carrying out an experiment.

Writing In Science: The Scientific Method
Step One: Title What is your experiment called?	Ball Dropping
Step Two: Problem What is the question you would like to answer? Write the problem as a question.	What will happen if you put a tennis ball on a basketball or a soccer ball and drop them at the same time?
Step Three: Hypothesis Before you carry out your experiment what do you THINK will happen? Your hypothesis is written as an ‘if, then’ statement.	I think that when the basketball hits the ground it will bounce off the ground and the tennis ball will bounce up off the basketball.
Step Four: Experiment Explain how you are going to set up your experiment. What you will actually be doing. This must be written in procedures that can be repeated by others. Will there be Independent Variables?  What is the Dependent Variable?	First we are going to get a tennis ball, a basketball or a soccer ball. Then we are going to place one hand on the top of the tennis ball and place the other hand on the bottom of the basketball or the soccer ball. Then raise the ball up a meter then drop both of them. There will be an independent variable if the wind blows the tennis ball and changes the place where it's supposed to land.                               A Dependent variable is when you can choose to make something happen. One is when we could drop the ball because we can             control where the ball gets dropped. We are also going to drop the ball from 0.5m 1m 1.5m and 2m high.
Step Five: Materials The things you need to complete the experiment.	A basketball/soccer ball and a tennis ball. a 1 meter ruler. a piece of paper to show how many attempts in meters
Step Six: Procedure The steps you actually take to do the experiment.	First we put a tennis ball on a soccer ball or a basketball and hold it 1m high. Then place hand on top and bottom and drop them.
Step Seven: Recording the Data. Showing what happened during the experiment using tables or charts.
#Step Eight: Analysis Reviewing the graphed data or by using a graphic organiser like a Venn diagram.	This data that we recorded we didn’t know what was going to happen. First we did a drop from 0.5m above the ground and it went really high. So when we finished doing the 4 tests we recorded this data in the tally chart at the bottom of this document.
Step Nine: Conclusion What do you now know having done the experiment.This must be written as a paragraph, with a topic sentence and supporting sentences. Did your results support your hypothesis or not? What would be the next question for investigation?	The tennis ball went a lot higher on the 2m drop than the 0.5m drop. There was a 4 - 5m difference from the 0.5 drop to the 2m drop What I thought was going to happen was exactly what happened At the start of this experiment I had no idea what would 100% happen but this is what I hypothesised. Now I know that different heights leave different results. Also I know that different types of air pressure in the basketball makes the tennis ball go higher. An interesting question is what would happen if we drop the basketball on the tennis ball instead of the way around we did it for this test.

	Observation	Why
0.5m	The tennis ball went south west of the basketball	It happened because of the way we dropped it
1m	The tennis ball went south and about 1 - 2.5m high	It went south because of the placement of the tennis ball on the basketball
1.5m	The tennis ball went about 2.5 - 3.5m high and went in between north and north west	It went about 2.5m - 3.5m because of the force of the basketball when it bounced
2m	The tennis ball went north and went about 5 - 6 m high	It went 5 - 6m high because of the height we dropped it from

WALT appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world.

WALT build an prior knowledge to carry out experiments and simple investigations.

The Circumference Of A Ball

The circumference of tennis ball is 21cm  

The tennis ball took 0.29 seconds to drop and the netball took 0.22 seconds to drop.

A basketball falls faster than a tennis ball because it has more air and it is bigger and the tennis has less air and it’s lighter so it takes longer to fall.

What I thought was going to happen was the netball was going to drop faster and the tennis ball will take longer to drop and I was right.

Anaerobic And Aerobic Exercises

WALT appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world.

WALT build an prior knowledge to carry out experiments and simple investigations.

Aerobic= with oxygen. This enables your heart to deliver oxygen to your muscles and your breathing rate speeds up eg: running, spinning, swimming, , hiking, walking.

Anaerobic= no oxygen. This type of exercising is when you lose oxygen fast like when you are sprinting and weightlifting. Eg: weight lifting, sprinting, biking and jumping.

Pulse Rates

WALT appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world.

WALT build an prior knowledge to carry out experiments and simple investigations.

For this science badge task me and Ryan had to exercise for 50 minutes and it was broken up into 5, 10, 15 and 20 minute sessions and we exercised for that long. Then we checked our resting then did all the sessions and put the data onto this graph.

This data is saying on that on the left is our pulse rate and on the bottom is how long we exercised for. The blue is Jack the red is Ryan and Yellow is the how much our pulse rates are different.

Bike Tyres

WALT appreciate that science is a way of explaining the world.

WALT build an prior knowledge to carry out experiments and simple investigations.

Why Do road bikes have thin tyres when mountain bikes thicker tyres?

Road bikes have thin tires because they make you go faster and they cut through the air.                                         

Mountain bike tyres are bigger than road bike tyres because because they give you more grip when riding in mud and up mountains.

Geometry Artwork

This week Room One started a geometry task on translation, rotation, reflection and enlargement. For this unit WALT explain and use the invariant properties of figures and objects under transformation (whakaata, hurihanga, nekehanga, ngakengake and whakarahi ).

First we made a strip and cut out eight triangles out of one square then we glued them on and we chose to do rotation, reflection and translation. Then we made another two and one of each included rotation, reflection and translation.

After that we had to do 3 challenges on enlarging and each challenge got harder. Scale factor is when you enlarge something by the scale factor of a number. Enlarging by a scale factor is when you just times the whole shape by a number. That’s what enlargement is drawing something something bigger. So for this bird down here you can see that is been enlarged by the scale factor of 2 so that means I had to times the bird by 2 and draw it.  

We had to look at artwork from other cultures and write a simple little report on the lines of symmetry on that artwork and write and explain about it. Also I realised something, this picture doesn’t have 2 lines of symmetry because the red and the black don’t go together.

Then we had to start designing our art work. When we finished our artwork Ms Kemp photocopied out artwork 4 times and then we cut them out. Next we had to draw out a border in vivid on a big piece of paper. Then we had to choose where had how the positioning of the 4 pieces went on the paper and once we had done that we glued them on we had to write a piece of writing. My piece of writing is what you are reading now

The mataoroko has been nekehanga 3 times to the katau. Within these hikuaua you can also see hurihanga, whakaata, ngakengake and nekehanga. Also in my pattern I have rotation in my enlargement and rotation in all of the squares. The Js are reflected and translated and on the squares from the small one to the big one it has added 7 squares. There is a total of 39 squares and 16 Js.

Overall to wrap this topic up doing this was very fun and I enjoyed doing this artwork and everything else we did. Overall at the end I was happy with my results and and I had no idea it was going to look like this in the end.
