Reading

 This week for reading we did a task called Synthesis.

Synthesis is a task that has prior knowledge, New information, and New undersatding. Then I read a book called white water action.  Synthesis is bring ideas and connecting them.

First we had to fill in our prior knowledge. Prior knowledge is what you know about the book already. Then we had to fill some new information. For example Tasmina is named after able tasmina. He is a dutch explor.

Next we wrote a our new understanding about the book. My new undersatnding is that white water action is named for a person that is a champoin at kayaking.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I learnt knew things kayaking.

Reading

 This week I had to find conection. for text to text, text to self and text to world.

Text to self is something in the text that relates to youself. Text to text is a book and a aonther book for example Mannaki hodges is a kayaker I relate it to chris pither who a racer. 

Text to world is like text in the book that relates to the to world. For example I am slow and there are some people around that are slow like me but I great at other things.

Maths

 This week we had a conversation about what they learnt and what we learnt.

First we had to get partner with someone that didn't learn what you lean. I leant what a  Inrterpreting data and frequency. I learnt what Inrterpreting data and frequency. Inrterpreting data is when you explaning how much you collected from the data set.  Frequency means amount of things.

Then I teached my partnar how to convet measurement. Then I explained how measuremnt is used. Measuremen are used to find out length, hieght, width using cmm mm, m, and km. When converting measurment you use 10, 100, and 1000. For example 10mm = 1cm. 100cm = 1m. 1000m = 1km.

Then we had to get into new partnes. I learnt time. I learnt that fraction and written algrorithm adds up time. In the units of time is, 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minuets = 1 hour, 24 hours is 1 day, 7 days = 1 week, and 52 weeks = 1 year. Time also use am and pm. Am is is in the moring and pm is at night.

Lastly I taught my partner about money. Money is used in the place value system. Place vaue is also used in ten. In money they have dollars, cents, cards. In money they have, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 dollar, 2 dollar, 5 dollar, 10 dollar, 20 dollar 50 dollar and 100 dollar.

I thought that I was a good teacher and a good student. I also thought that my patners were also a good teacher and student.     

Touch

This week we did two man setles and three.

First we recapped two man settles. Then we practice two man settles. When doing two man settles the first person plant the ball. The person who plant the ball steps behind the dummy half and the dummy half will pass the ball to the person from behind. Plant is when you place the ball on the floor and step over the ball. Dummy half is the person who pass the ball after a touch.

Then we learnt three man settles. We used abc for three man settles. A is the first runner, B is the dumy half and C is the next runner. When we did this we switch roles. We use two man settles or three to drive down the field.  

Then we slowly walked throw how to play touch.

I enjoyed touch.

 

Inquriy

 This week, our company (Shelters Inc) brainstormed ideas for an emergency shelter design. We needed to think of the structural shape and design of the emergency shelter. We also needed to think about what our shelter will be designed to resist. Our shelter is designed to resist strong winds and water pressure.

What programme did you use?

My group used a design programme called SketchUp, that allows people to design and create anything they want in three dimensions. 

What shape did you use? Why?

We chose to use a hexagonal-prism for our emergency shelter design. This is because a hexagon is a very strong shape, and it can deflect wind flow.

What material do you think is best?

We decided to make the shelter out of tungsten because it is strong and polyurethane because it is absorbent. We think these are suitable materials for water and wind natural disasters.

What changes could you make?

Some changes we can make is the size of our shelter. We think that the size could be bigger because the shelter looks small and if it is more spacious, people can put more things in the shelter.                                                                                       

How thick should the walls be?

The walls should be very thick, roughly between a meter thick, and made of tungsten. They should be thick so they can withstand aggressive winds and strong water currents. Also because of the wind or water pressure will not break the wall.

How will people get into the shelter? How big will the opening be?

The entrance of the shelter is 3.3 meter tall and 2.3 meters wide so that in case of an emergency, everybody can enter.

Do you need windows? How big/small should they be?

There should be windows so that the people inside the emergency shelter are aware of what is happening and can identify if it is safe to exit the emergency shelter. The windows should be fairly small, about 1.5 meters so that people can see out of them clearly.

Inter school touch rygby tournament

On Wednesday some people from LS1 and LS2 went to dunkirk reserve for a friendly touch rugby tornament. Campetition was split into y5, y6, y7 and y8 for different year groups.

Frist we played point england 1. We lost 3 neal. After that we had a brake. Then we played saint patrick's. We won 3 to 0.

Then we played stone fields twice because they had two teams. We lost our frist game with stone field and won our second game. The score was 4 to 5 and and second was 4 to 2. 

Lasly we played sylivia park, baily road and point england. We lost that game. It was 3 to 0. Then we played baildy road. We won that game 5 to 1. Our last game was point england 2. We won that game 3 to 2. 

The skill we need to work on is communication because we didn't know when they were going to past the ball.  

I had enjoyed playing touch with my friend in different schools.

 This week for reading we did atask called table mat.

Frist we read a book called white water action. It about this kid thats a three time sliver champion. His name is Manaaki Hodges. Then we had to write our prior knowledges. 

Next we we had to write key words. One of my key words were eskimo. Eskimo are people who live in the ice. 

Lasly we had to write 4 facts. One of the facts were Manaaki Hodge has been kayaking for three years. 

I realy enjoyed learning about a kid that has been doing kayaking for three years.
