Science Fair

My Science Fair Board

This is my science fair board about melting ice, my question was ‘What Substance when mixed with ice makes ice melt faster?’

I learned that salt melts ice fastest.

Term 2 Week 7

This week has been awesome, I have nearly finished my cat picture for art and I have finished my report on Wetas. We have also started to learn to play squash and that has been interesting as this has been my first time. In drums I learned how to do whats called a 16th note. For maths I have been working on fraction equations e.g. ¼+½=¾.

My goal for this week is to improve the neatness of my work. I will know I have completed this if my work is legible and easy to read.

Week 6 Term 2

Lately I have been learning to write notes and then convert them into a report. We have had two topics to work on; elephants and cheetahs. In maths I have learned how to work out the answer to decimal computation by changing it to a normal number then checking how many numbers after the decimal point and that makes the amount of decimals you need. At art we are painting a Cat Proverb picture with cartoon cats.

My goal for this week is to complete my English work e.g.report and book review. I will know I have finished this when my book review is on the blog.

Week 5 Term 2

I have just come back from Band Camp and I am still pretty hyped. Now for tech we no longer have food,  this term we have art and so far we have started by drawing up backgrounds for the ‘Cat Proverbs’ pictures we are working on. In PE we have been playing Volleyball, in case you didn’t know Volleyball is a sport where there is a huge net (similar to the one you would find on a badminton court just bigger) and six players either side. The objective is to hit the ball over the net and get it onto the ground of the other teams court. We nicknamed our team the ‘Thunder-clickers’.

My goal this week is to complete my mathematics tasks. I can achieve this by working hard and not getting distracted by my classmates.  I will know that I have achieved this goal when all my maths is completed.

Week 4 Term 2

On Monday I went to Totara Springs for Band Camp where I played the drums (otherwise known as percussion). We learned all sorts of songs and even how to play new ‘side’ instruments like the ‘Crash’ and ‘Ride’ cymbals, the shakers and even the triangle. There were quite a wide selection of songs from and Indian War Dance (Geronimo) to a Marching Beat (Royal Crown March) We got to learn how different beats are played and how to start the song with stronger, louder notes.

When we got back to school it was soon time to go to the 2010 kids literacy quiz. My team came 23rd and even though we didn’t win we learned about many different fiction stories and even Aesop’s Fables.

My Goal for this week is to work as efficiently as possible in the classroom.

I will know that I have achieved this goal when my work is up to date and neatly written.

Week 9 Term 1

This week I have learnt-In science I learnt to make a 2 minute noodle and vegetable omelet it was surprisingly hard to make as you had to grill, microwave and fry it. In English I managed to finish my vocabulary work 

 

Week 8 Term 1

On Friday I made ‘Poundies’, they were really really really tasty. They were these lumps of mashed potato with bacon in the middle. Surprisingly they were really easy to make. In maths I have been doing the independent ‘Fast Finishers’ work. For English I have been working on the story ‘At Daggers Tip’ I have also been writing a book review on Daniel X-Alien Hunter. My Goal for next week is  to  finish my book review for this story. I will know I have completed this when my book review is done.

Week 7 Term 1

This week in Maths I have learned about adding integers, these are the rules… -4+5-=-, 5+5=+, -4+-4=+ and 4+-5=-.  In English I have learned how to write with emphasis and create suspense in a story. For Physical Education we are still playing softball and we are learning some of the advanced rules and how to get a proper pitching technique. My goals this week are to – 1st  Finish my competition story. For this I will need to use some of my own time and focus on my work.

Week 6 Term 1

 In maths I have learnt to work in the most efficient way possible and I have been able to remember the rules for order of operations. In english I have started to write my 3^rd narrative. My original one was too long so I had to do a new one that can only be 1 page long. In reading we have started a reading project this week and I have done the two crosswords and the vocabulary sheet. In science we were experimenting with magnets. We also had to sit a test on the topics we had learnt to see if we actually listened. In physical education we got to play capture the flag for physical education and we are learning to think on our feet. My Goal this week is to improve my BEDMAS abilities, like remembering which things are integers and remembering not to do the division and mulplication right to left. I will achieve this goal my practicing at home. I also need to remember to look at the big picture as well as all the little bits inbetween instead of just one.

Week 4 Term 1

This Week I Have Done…

I Learnt about Reflection and Refraction by using a set of Mirrors and a Laser Pointer. When we shone the lasers onto the mirrors and they bounced off and shone in different directions. Then we made Periscopes and looked at the food people whilst they were working. For Maths we were given a Sheet with lots of Different Activities so far I have completed 2 of them.

This Week I Have Learnt…

That if you shine a Laser at a mirror it reflects in a Perfect V.
