Kiwi can

This week for kiwi can our new theme is problem solving and our topic is resilience. In kiwi can we learnt how to do problem solving by playing fun games. We played a game called GKQ and Around the world. To play around the world we needed to get into groups of 1 to 4. What ever group the teacher called out had to go to the middle of the circle and dodge the ball.

Kiwi sport

This week for Kiwi sport we played a game similar to netball. The only different rule was to pass the ball to everyone before scoring a goal. Although we had little time we still had a chance to win. In the teams there were bibs and non bibs. The winning team was bibs as we shared the ball to every one and then scored a try.

Tech reflections

This week for tech we have been focusing on code finding and and completing a animated storys.
This is one of the weeks that we need to complete all our work as on September we have our big swap.
Tech was great also as most of us completed our work and got green on our task list on the callander used on Mrs Andersons digi tech site.

Sky tower trip!

Last week we went on a trip to the sky tower. We were sponserd by douglas bates. I want to give a big thanks to douglas because he payed for us to go there leaving us to not pay for our trip to go. It was so fun at the sky tower because we got to watch a video explaining facts about it and so much more. We then went to the observation room where we got to explore and find places around the nz that we can see. It was fun also because we saw people jumping off landing on a saftey pad. 

Explanation - Analogue time

Analogue Time

We can read from our phones, iPads, and most importantly a watch.

But most watches that are used use analogue time.

Do you know how to read analogue time?

First we need to learn the basics, lets start of with clock

hands that are used in analogue time.

The short hand, symbolises each hour.

Therefore the long hand tells minutes.

Did you know that the hour hand moves continuously overnight

and in the morning. You might find this odd but it’s true.

The second hand moves every seconds day and night.

The main numbers that are used on the face of the clock is

12, 3, 6 and 9. You can also see five little lines in the middle of

the gap for each number. Therefore you can use the 5 times

table to read analogue time. Under each big number is the 5

times table going up to 60.

Have you ever wondered why the numbers on the clock face are used?

So basically numerals are another word for numbers. On a clock we

have 4 main numbers that are always mentioned in analogue

12 ,3, 6, 9. This resembles past the hour & to the hour

On the right side of a clock represents past and the left to the hour

Now you should understand the process of how analogue time works.
Also you don't need any iPads, or phones to be used to read time.

Tunnel comparison

This week we compared two tunnels. For this activity we used a comparison venn diagram. Before comparing the two we watched a video explaining each tunnel. We then took that information and changed it to our own words. After that we researched more about the water veiw tunnel and the gothard tunnel. 

Purpose of tunnels

This week for inquiry we had been focusing on the purpose of tunnels. My buddy nyjah and I have chosen tunnels to explain the purpose of them. The purpose of tunnels are really easy to explain as me and nyjah used our researching skills to complete our work.

The Eye 5-7-10

This week for writing we did 5-7-10. In these 5mins we had been completing our characteristic 5-7-10. To do a 5-7-10 we have to use our 5 to 10 minuets to complete our work using awwuubis & Fan boys. We then get given a photo to describe in our 5-7-10. The photo we received was a photo of an eye.

The eye

Lush trees dance side to side. Its sunny although I may get jump frights.

A fresh breeze I cant explain its like a refreshing drink but only when it rains. As the sun settels to fall asleep it forms pink candy floss looking so unique. But then the clouds exchanged its mood to a furious grey puff covering the light from the moon. Its gloomy and dark out. I feel shivers up my spine. The feeling when you fall onto a porcupine. Its then clear and easy to see, that I am being watched very carefully. As I turn my head my eyes start to widen to a look of a big enormous lion. So as I scan to  go and check it out. Its pupils widened as if I was holding a mouse. The dark, hungry eye staring into my soul. I felt a connection although It felt so very small.

 

Problem solving Decimals

This week for maths we have learnt about decimal problem solving. Firstly Mrs Anderson taught us an easy strategy to how to solve decimal problems. We then got it checked and created a DLO showing our understanding to problem solving.
