Netball

On wednesday we played netball and it was for the interschool and it was a very fun day there were minutes of rain and then after that we still played in the weather anyway and it was really fun even though we lost most of our games at least we tried our hardest and never gave up easily and had lots of fun.  

tinker.com

today at tech I created a face and it was inspired by my good friend Alex I created other things but they were creepy as heck and it was so fun  playing around on the site tinkercad.com it was really fun to create creepy things.

Spaghetti bridges

Two week for inquiry we were testing our bridges to see how strong they were and we have been working on them for the past weeks. Everyone in my inquiry group had to build there bridge out of 1 pack of spaghetti. I think the group I worked in did an awesome job because the first time we went up it was only able to hold 5 bricks and Ms Kirkpatrick thought it slipped. It was very exciting when our bridge held up 4 because our group predicted that it would only be able to hold up two or three. Since the bridge only held up five and slipped, we came back at the end when everyone finished we tried to carry the most amount of bricks which was eight we didn't really think that it would hold the eight bricks up but our bridge pulled it off. Our bridges span was 25 cm and could hold between 5 to 8 bricks and I thought it would break as soon as we put the eight bricks on but it held them up.  

Art Culture and Sport

Today for reading we had to find all the different types of labels and some of them were subtitle, map, title, label and graphs. We did some with the teacher and then after we got to do it ourselves. Then we all split up into two groups and two books so then we grabbed so of the labels and then put it on our books while the other group had the rest and put it on their book it was a very fun activity to do and we had to work as a team. The things I learnt from this book was that there are book that use lots of labels and then there are some that do not use a lot of labels.      

Why Did People Build Bridges

Bridges, they’re not simple structures to construct. People build bridges to get across from one side of the bridge to another and we built bridges for shortcuts, swiftness and also stability.

Bridges they are more than meets the eye and they do more than you think we all take bridges for granted because we just think that they are objects that help us get from point A to point B they do that but they do heaps of thing for us. They help us get across rivers that can move faster than a car and also they help move much faster and more accurately than a boat or a punt we are just lucky that bridges are a thing in our lives or it would take hours to get from place to place.

So if we were trying to get from one side of a river to the other in the olden days they would use punts and it would take around one hour or so but still it would take forever just to get across a river and bad enough as it is you would have to go away and go back again tomorrow if it was bad weather because they would be closed for the day.    

The thing that bridges do is help us get over obstacles, and help us get across things faster like they help us get across canyons so we don’t have to go all the way down and then waste the rest of your petrol just going up and then walk the rest of the way. So bridges are used for both shortcuts, and easy access.

Now here we are, bridges are so useful these days because we are now using steel cars that are very heavy and then the bridges can hold around one hundred cars. They are the most efficient way to get across rivers and wide pieces of water, and without them the world wouldn’t be the same.

We all had written something to do with how and why people built bridges and what they help us with as well. This piece of writing also help us understand how to use hooks.

Wero Trip

Yesterday we went to wero as we went we learnt about how to be river safe and how to be water safe. It was very fun there I wish we could go again I forgot our instructors name but he was the best he named our boat crew llamabear and when we went around a corner he would say "Tokyo Drift style" and we would turn on an angle and go through the gap of the rocks. It was the best time of life when we got to go and jump off the side of the rocks and get swept away from the water it was so fun there.

    

Kiwi Can

Today we went to kiwi can and for kiwi can we were learning about perseverance and resilience we mainly spoke about perseverance and perseverance means to never give up and try your hardest until you succeed and to do that you have to have a whole lot of courage and faith in yourself then you can really perceiver. So like this you try and get into a college but you don't make it in so what do you do try and take another and if you don't get into that one then you try and get into a different one so the moral of the story just don't give up until the end and to do that just believe in yourself and have fun.      

Exponents

today we have been doing maths and for maths we have been learning about how to use exponents and also exponents and also how to do the maths behind the exponents you have to time something by itself as many times as the number at the top says.

Labelling The Structure of a Book

           


Today for reading we have been using arrows with words on them they all were about the types of things you could find in the book. We did a couple with our teacher Ms Kirkpatrick we had to try and find all the things that were on the cards some of them were Graph, bold prints, heading, labels, and there were so many of them but we could find a lot after we did some pages with our teacher we had to try and find some by ourselves and we had to corporate with our group and ended up finding a lot and it also was a very good activity.  

Colons

A couple of days ago we were working on colons I now know how to use colons because of the activity we had done. The activity we had to do was a colon quiz the things to do in the quiz was try and guess were all the colons were supposed to go we also had to answer like 11 questions so for example one of them were These are my favorite colors: purple, turquoise, pink and yellow and after we answered all of them we had to move onto the illustration. We illustrated one of the questions from the activity the one I just gave as an example was the one I did for my illustration I had to throw together a drawing about how to use colons and one of the answers of the quiz.

Wheel Words

Today we have been playing wheel words. This game helps with your vocabulary and it also helps  with your spelling in this game you have to try and finish the game and some of them are very very hard compared to others because then there are some that are super easy. Today when I was playing I found seven words that was on the board and two obscure words and there are hints and I used two or three for the nine letter word.

The Certificates

Today at assembly we got a certificate for participating in a quiz and some people got two one was for a spelling test and the other one was for maths and I was one of the people that got the maths one and another boy got a spelling and a maths one on the spelling one he got over 90% of the test right and the maths certificate was only to say congratulation to the people who contested.

Wheel words

Today my group and I were playing wheel words and all you have to do for this game is find words in the circle. You always need to use the middle letter of the circle and find out all the words. At the beginning if you are feeling good you can do a time trial. This game is a helpful game because it helps you a lot with your vocabulary. In the top right corner you will find the hint button and if you're stumped you can use it but not on the time trial. Today I could only find 14 words out of 36 and there were some words I just guessed and I ended up using three or four hints.
