Science- Topic 4/ floating & Sinking

 L.I: To expierement with heavy and light objects to see if it floats

Today for science we recorded the buocany of the object we were given.  First we talked floating, sinking and semi floating.

After talking about the information we knew about floating and sinking we started our expierements. 

We checked the size,weight ,composition and we made a prediction. For the first expirement most of the objects sunk. For the second expirement most of the objects floated and semi floated. 

I enjoyed this because of the part where we had to check if it floats or not.

Cinquain

LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star

 We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt new words like ruler.

Reading Pathway

 LI: To show personal journey through books.

This week is book week at Panmure Bridge School, which means every class participates in a number of reading activities. One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading avatar because I find the book really interesting.

Cockroaches

  L.I: To summarise and understand text.

This week we summarised and discussed about a non fiction text called Cockroaches: Born Survivors. This text is about information of a cockroach but it’s mainly about how a cockroach survives.

For our activity we had to find 20 import words and choose 6 most important words. Then we put those 6 most importants into a summary. 

Cockroaches have two long spiked tails called Cerci. The cockroaches also like to hang around dark and warm places until it's night. The characteristics of a cockroach is that they are really fast and they can detect danger by their wind sensors. An interesting fact that our group found out about cockroaches is the fact that cockroaches lived on earth over 300 million years ago.

We found this activity interesting because we learnt many different things about cockroaches and had fun when learning.

Cockroaches detect danger by using their cerci and wind sensors. They are survivors because the use of their special sensors help them avoid many predators. 

Soccer

 On Wedsnady some of the people from LS2 and others stundents of PBS went to Milldis farm to play Soccer. When we arrived our team practised both dribbling and passing. Our first game was against Ruapotaka. It was a really enjoyable game but we lost 3-1. Our next game was against Stonefields. It was a really competitive game. We ended up losing 5-1.  The next game didn't happen because the school we were supossed to play was Glen taylor, unfortunately they didn't come. Our 4th game was against Sylvia Park school. It was a real fun and enjoyable game. The score was 2-2. Our last game was aginst PBS group B. The score was 3-1, we ended up lossing. 

This tournament was really fun and enoyable. This tournament really tested our team work.

Pulley

 L.I To use our smart searching skills to find out about pulleys. 

These DLO's showing above is about an Diagram showcasing an Labelled Diagram about an Inclined Plane , Screw and a Pulley. We did this by reading and understanding the meaning , and watching video , we also did this by writing down notes to help us create our summary. In my group I worked with Te Raumati , Tyson , Moti and Liletina. We also created an 25 word summary that helps the readers understand what is an Inclined Plane , What is an Screw and What is an Pulley. We also really enjoyed finding images and tracing them out to help us create our Diagram, then we also labelled our drawing's to make it easier for our readers to understand.

Issac newton | Inquiry

LI: To learn about Issac newton

This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and Astronome. For this task I liked learning about Isaac Newton , and finding about what he did to become one of the most famouest scientest in the world.
