Manaiakalani

Not long ago we went to Sylvia park for the Maniakalni film festival we saw heaps of movies not only our school but from other schools in our area too. Each year we have this thing called the Maniakalani film festival were each class in the Maniakalani schools get to make a movie about ever they want and share it with every from our schools. I enjoyed it and it was fun to be in the movie. This was the last ever Maniakalni film festival I would go ever for pt england school.

Fair testing Tukituki river

Here is what me and my friend Lucy worked on it's about the Tukituki river and fair testing.

Ariana & Collin

Here we have simplified our linear8 problems. That we did in maths

Earthquake letter

Here is my letter that I wrote.

To those who have been affected by the Earthquake,

We at Pt England school are deeply sympathetic and feel sorry for what you have lost. We hope you will recover soon our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit must of impacted you a lot. I can only image what it must be like for you with broken homes,fallen trees and a loss of food supply. Even with power cuts and no internet!

This Natural disaster has created major landslides and total chaos but there's still many water and food supplies coming. This letter also goes out to the families who have lost a loved one or their house that had been broken into.

Hope,Faith,Happiness and peace these are all things we are praying for you and your family. We hope you all feel better soon. God bless we are thinking of you.

Ch Ch changes experiment DLO

Here is my animation from this term,Our topic this term is Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes and we our learning about science and experiments. My animation is about the Coke and Mentos experiment that we did. Enjoy.

My olympic DLO

Here is my animation it is about Lydia Ko at the 2016 olympics.I was meant to complete this by last term but I didn't end up getting it done but here it is. Enjoy.

Wk 6 Thinkboard

Here is my think board for the week. In the middle box is the equation we got and my answer. In the top box is my working out then in the right box is the strategy I used. In the bottom box I have written a word story problem and in the left box I have made 10 other similar questions.

Wk 2 discussion doc

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner or in a 3.

Give three examples of each state of matter?

Solid	Liquid	Gas
Wood	Water	Steam
Ice	Oil	Air
Stone	Blood	Helium

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?

Solids	Liquids	Gases
Solid molecules are close together and arranged in a regular way.	Liquids molecules are close together but not as tight as Solids molecules and not as.	Gases molecules do not touch. Their molecules are far apart from each other.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading task.

We have learnt that molecules are the smallest particles can get. Another word for molecules is particles. The elements from the Periodic table are molecules. Some molecules from the periodic tables are natural and some have formed by mankind. More molecules are yet to be discovered.

This is my discussion doc I did with Seini we talk to each other about what we learnt and then wrote it done. We have explained what the differences between Solids,Liquids and Gases. We also gave some examples of each state of matter.

Geometry Poster

Here I have created a poster for maths. Our task was to make a poster for a Year 4 reader. We had to teach them a bit about Geometry and what we have learnt.

Rust

Fast Rust Task

Rust

Walt: Synthesise information from multiple sources.  

Success Criteria: I can make links between the multiple resources I access.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Water

Oxygen

Iron

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

Rusting occurs when Iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen. When iron has water or is damp and then the oxygen from the air goes into the water, The surface of the iron reacts with the oxygen mixed in water, it creates a thing called iron oxide. Iron oxide mixers with the water and creates hydrated iron oxide which is the red stuff we call rust.

How could you prevent something from rusting?

To help prevent iron or metal from rusting you can paint the places that are exposed to oxygen or moisture most people do this to bikes and cars. Another way to prevent rust is to add a layer of oil or grease some people oil their bicycle chains which slows done the process of rusting. To prevent rusting you can also use a sacrificial protection called Galvanizing. This method works when iron gets covered in zinc. The zinc is a self healing metal that is very effective and will last longer.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

From this reading I have learnt the different stages of how rust forms and develops. The different ways to prevent rust from occurring and learning and understanding different words like hydrated iron oxide, corrode, alloy, etc.

Geometry Wk5

Here is my presentation this week we learnt about Geometry. I found this kind of easy a part from two questions. I enjoyed this.

Think board Wk5

Here is my think board for the week. In the middle box is the equation we got and my answer. In the top box is my working out then in the right box is the strategy I used. In the bottom box I have written a word story problem and in the left box I have made 10 other similar questions.
