PBS vs Olympics

We compared the Olympics with our school (Panmure Bridge)

First we completed an activity which was called This vs That. We compared the Olympics' creed, motto, values, and flags with our schools (Panmure Bridge. An example for the Olympic motto is Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together.

Next we made slides to write the similarities and differences about the Olympics and our school.

To finish up we made a logo that represents ourselves.  

The experience was amazing because I learnt lot about the differences between PBS and Olympics.

Olympics 2020

The olympics are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions.

Party Popper

My group, Applemelon created party poppers with the same design.

First dissucusd what the design we should come up with. we drew our design on a piece of paper. We stick our design on a cup.

Next we added a hole to the bottom of our cup. so we can put the rubber band through the hole. we used a tooth pick to stop the rubber band from coming out.

Last we added the filling. we used 15 small pom poms and 15 glitter sticker. each person had 5 pom poms and 5 glitter sticker. 

The experience was amazing because it helped me to work as a group better. The party popper worked well. 

Party Popper Prototype

My group, Applemelon made a prototype for a party popper.

In the beginning, we discussed the different parts of the model. For example, we used a long rubber band instead of the thick rubber band. We figured out that a long rubber band has more force than the thick rubber band.

Next we tested the prototype. We discussed that we should use pom poms for the filling.

To finish up we used a nut for the striker so the pompoms can explode out of the cup. We thought about what we needed to change to make it better. 

I learned a lot about prototype and modeling

Party Popper

We were markting about toys. 

First we looked at a design from Mr Wong, his design was a party popper. He then told us to make a plan about a party poper.

Next, we listed the parts of the design. Our market was kindergarden aged children. The parts were plastic cup, rubber bands, folded paper, confitti, and a tooth pick. 

We then did the updated design. This was about what changes we want to change. Our group changed the cup into a paper cup, the paper into a thicker paper, the confitti is the same, and the tooth pick is the same. 

Lastly did the rational. We had to give the reason in why we chose it. We did the rational about our updated designs.

I enjoyed this task because my group completed this task

Simple Machines

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines?

They are wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. The 3 similar simple machines help us do work quickly.

The 3 Similar Simple Machines

The three similar simple machines are the incline plane, lever, and wedge. Simple Machines help people to do work easily and quickly. 

Simple Machines

 We found 6 simple machines in our school.

 These are the 6 simple machines.

1. Incline plane

2. Wedge

3. Lever

4. Wheel and Axle

5. Pulley

6. Screw.

Simple Machines

Simple machines are tool to make work easier.

There are six kinds of simple machines:

1. Inclined plane 

2. Lever

3. Pulley

4. Wheel and axle

5. Screw

6. Wedge

  

Compare and Contrast | Inquiry

I did Compare and Contrast of cultural dances.

First I had to chose which dances I wanted to do. I did Kapa Haka and Hip Hop.

Next I wrote the similarities between Kapa Haka and Hip Hop.

After I I wrote down my differences. One of my differences I wrote down was that Hip Hop is a culture of fashion, language, music, movement, visual art and expression.

I enjoyed this activity because I learned lots about Kapa Haka and Hip Hop. Its interesting to see how something which seems so different can share cultural information.

LS1's Treaty

We learnt about the 3 Ps in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr Ogilive introduced the 3 Ps in LS1 in the Treaty of Waitangi they are Protection, Partnership and Participation.

Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3 Ps in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 Ps are all connected.

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these three statements because it will help me respect others. I think I have to work on participation because I usually don't try something new.

This week we went to LS2 to learn about Guy Fawkes. I learnt all about Guy Fawkes.

My Maze Game

 

Term 4 Inquiry - Design Brief

 

This term we are creating a design brief for a game 

Road Safety Mind Map

We have used Lucidchart to draw a mind map about road safety. We used the spider diagram template.

Fire Safety Poster

We used canva to make a fire safety poster.

Light and Sound Experiment

This afternoon LS1 and Room 5 went to the reserve and did an experiment. We needed to put our hands up when we heard the clapper. We made a long line beside the water. Mr Kirkpatrick was at one end. When she clapped the sound travelled down the line. People put their hands up in a wave. We saw the clapper before we heard the sound because light travels faster than sound.
