Simple Machines

This week we have been learning about simple machines. We learnt that there are six
different simple machines called a pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, screw, lever and a
wedge.We did a poster all around it and we also colored it in.We also had to design a playground with

every obstacle is a type of simple machine . I had no idea what a simple machine was before
we learnt about this topic. I found difficulty remembering all the special qualities that fit under
every section.

Beach Cookout

Beach Cookout

Today Room eight walked down to Watson’s Creek for a beach cookout. We did this for the William Pike challenge for the outdoor activity section.There were seven teams, all with a parent or caregiver from some students in the class. My group included Cooper, Hamish, Phoebe and myself. Phoebe and myself worked really well together but the boys found it hard to do a job. That made it hard for me because when Phoebe and myself had our hands full the boys were wondering or finding it hard to do something.

My favourite bit was when we got to eat our food. We made bacon butties, home made chips and banana pancakes. My favourite meal was the bacon butties because the bacon was cooked to the perfect crunch.

We started our fire by using the teepee shape. This shape worked really well for the structure of the fire we were looking for. We used tinder and kindling to start it and then started adding bigger sticks to get it going . Once the fire got going we let it burn done a little bit and started to make a criss cross pattern . We did this so when the fire got done to embers it was the right temperature and structure for the pan. We put the fire out by using cones to put water in and using sand to cool down the embers. We used sand and water to put out the fire because it smothers the flame.

Something I learnt was that embers on the fire are really good for cooking things on the pan, like pancakes and smores! The learning we did before going down to the beach, about campfire safety, really helped as well.

Slideshow animation

Today we had to teach the younger classes how to use slide show animations. I worked with lochie and Preston . They chose there favourite part of a book we read to make the slide show about.

Te Reo Māori

1. Think about the qualities shown by Huria Matenga in the story. 
2. Choose one of those qualities.  
3. Find the word for that quality in te reo Māori.
4. Think about the people in your life or someone that you have read about or heard about who also demonstrates that quality.
5. Write a paragraph (or two) explaining why you think that quality is important. Use at least four te reo Māori words in your explanation.

I have chosen bravery for one of Huria Metengas quality’s.

I think being brave is very important because in tough Situations you have to act mature and brave so other people don't freak out  and  worry..I also think māia ( to be brave, bold, capable, confident) is a gift because in a situations where you have to be māia ( brave) there will always be another emotion trying to fight( kakari) your bravery.

Technogly

We are learning to: 

 Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves.

Learning Challenge: Create an artwork in any way you prefer (painting, drawing, building, sewing,  soap carving!) of something you think is Kiwiana… it could be something other artists have identified or something that is an original idea of your own.

Technogly

Technology: WALT follow a brief by justifying the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Use the criteria identified to inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Shadow Ball Tag

Week Two PE Challenge: The current rules around COVID19 isolation and ‘bubbles’  mean that many sports people have been unable to play their sport.This week I want you to design a game that can be played with two or more players but does not allow players to share any equipment being used. You need to develop a name, rules, playing area, equipment, and the object of the game.

Shadow Ball Tag

The game that I made up is called ‘Shadow Bull tag’.  For this game you don’t need
to use any equipment. 

How you play

Two teams are needed, there has to be at least two in each team.

Preferably a sunny day so that lots of shadows are around.

When you stand on someone else’s shadow then they are out.  They then have to sit
on the bench until the person that got them out gets tagged out and has to go to the bench.

Rules

Everytime you get someone out then your team gets a point. The first team that gets to ten
points then that team wins. It relies on honesty as it may be difficult to turn and to look at your
own shadow. You can play this on the grass or a court, where there is preferably not a lot of other
object shadows so that you can see the people that are playing shadow’s easily.

Banksy Art

Learning Challenge was to: Create a small artwork, no bigger that 5cm high x 5cm wide to put somewhere around your property… do NOT draw on the walls! Do your artwork on a separate piece of paper or wood. Take a photo of your artwork in location for your blog.

We are learning to: Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response

to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves.

Coming Home

Today I did a piece of artwork inspired by Johannes Vermeer. The theme was coming home . This piece of artwork shows most of the characters off Winnie-the-Pooh Crossing a bridge. The usual colours of these characters haven't been used because those characters represent family members .I also didn't put the usual colours on them because everyone is unique and different so I wanted to show that in my work . I feel at home when all m familey is home aswell.I have little details in my work like a book lying in the grass and a boat going down the Stream  because I feel most comfortable when I am sailing boats down the stream or a creek and when I get read book or get told a storie .I have so many great memories of them that's why I put them in. I hope you like my work as this took a long time to make because I use pens instead of paint .
