To Troy and Gustavo

 Kia ora bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have been writing some thank you letters for Troy and Gustavo. As you might know we have been doing a lot of things around science and engineering. I have really enjoyed having Troy and Gustavo come in every wednesday to talk to us about the three newton's laws. In our thank you letter we had to include what we enjoyed about the wonder project and we also had to personalize our thank you letter. But a big thank you to Troy and Gustavo. Here is my Thank you letter

Monday 21st of September

Dear Gustavo and Troy

I really appreciate you guys coming to Paihia School to teach us about science and engineering. I have learnt a lot of things from the last time you guys were here. I have learnt a lot more things about the three laws of motion, I also never knew that there were red kiwi fruits. My favourite thing about the wonder project will have to be the final launch because we came second.

I also appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge and ideas with us this term. I also love the way you guys were patient, respectful and friendly with us even though we sometimes did not listen or respect you. I also loved that you guys never gave up on us and you guys always believed us.  

Thank you Troy and Gustavo for turning up to our school every Wednesday to teach us about science, engineering, all those things. Also a big thank you for putting up with our class. 

Sincerely 

Mihipeka

Final Launch

Last week we did our final launch if you do not know what I am talking about feel free to check out my other post about The Wonder Project. last week, Wednesday we had our final launch. It was a lot of fun because I was the one who wrote down how much water, psi and how far their rocket goes. The furthest rocket went 79 meters, the second rocket that went the furthest was my group it went 54 meters, the third furthest was Roberts group their rocket went 29 meters. We did a good job at creating a beautiful rocket and that took communication. Have you done The Wonder Project? Here is our video of our launching

 

Ki O Rahi

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning to play ki O Rahi. Before we were able to have fun with and play Ki O Rahi we had to do drills. These Drills were instructed by Anyah, Jorjah and myself. These Drills helped with invading, passes, jump shots and many more. I feel  I did well teaching these tactics to the class. What I also did well at was being patient with the children and what I could do  better is to explain more. Have you played Ki O Rahi? 

Pounamu Pendants

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning to estimate using percentages. The activity we did was called Pounamu pendants in this activity we had to find out what was the percentage of the area of the original rectangle piece of pounamu does the finished pendant use. There were four separate pendants and me and Anyah had to go through row by row to see how much the pendants cover on the grid for number A we think the pendant was covering 57% of it. I think I did well at counting up all the numbers. This activity was really fun to do and learn here is a photo of my activity. Do you like maths?

Update On The Wonder Project

 In Te Ngahere you might know that we have been learning about  Newton's Laws of motion, you also might know about Troy and Gustavo, if you do not know them can you please check out my other blog post about the Wonder Project. We are currently working on our rockets, two weeks ago my group and I made our first rocket, our first model was not very good because there were holes and the air in the bottle would escape or leak. Our second model didn't really go far, at least it went somewhere this time. Our third model went a long distance but sadly we did not film it. I think we did a good job  at working together as a team.

Here is a video of our second model.

How To Say Sentences In Te Reo Maori

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning to recognise, understand, and use familiar words associated with games. We also have to recognise and understand short phrases and sentences associated with learning, learning to recognise, understand, and use familiar words associated with past tense. When we learnt how to recognise, understand, and use familiar words associated with past tense, associated with games and associated with learning we had to make our own book that are associated with all these things. We also had to do it in Te Reo Maori. I did well at saying the Maori words. I could work on a more interesting presentation. Here is my DLO

Tips On How To Find Prime Numbers

 During pangarau this week we have been learning about prime numbers and what they are made up of, prime numbers are made up with 1 and itself meaning all prime numbers are multiply with only the number 1. An example of a prime number would be 1, 2, 3, 7, 11,17, 23 and many more, the reason these are prime numbers are because you can not do any timetables that add up to these numbers beside 1. This activity was really frustrating for me because I did not know what 1 and itself means so I was really confused, to get over this I asked for help. After we learnt about this we had to make a DLO.
