Features of a visual text

Today for reading Motuihe were learning about features of a visual text. What we did first was observed the books then Ms Kirkpatrick called out the Features on the arrows and we needed to find it on a page. Then she gave us some arrows that had features of a visual text. What we needed to do was find on the page the Feature that we picked.

HIIT

This week was our last week for HIIT. HIIT was a AUT research. We did HIIT twice a week on Monday and Thursday. We did this for 15 Weeks. I definitely found some changes through my fitness. The AUT research fitness was called pau te hau this means get puffed in maori. The exercise we did was tap step,push up,star jumps and sit ups.I liked tap step becauase it was easy.

Bridge Design Evaluation

This week for Inquiry we are building bridges out of tooth picks. Fist we needed to get into groups then we needed to plan out who is en-charge of what,plan a design and the measurement. Avalon,Chavda and Joel were in my group. Avalon was the boss I was the Accountant Chavda was the secretary and Joel was the architect. The bridge that we were building was a truss bridge. Next we got a board and started to make the sides. We made two then we made the deck. We needed to keep count of the toothpicks because we needed to pay 72c for each sticks. I would like to give a huge thank you to Mr Anderson for Providing the Glue and toothpicks. We have designed a truss bridge that has been reinforced. We have used triangles on our bridge. The bridge deck spans 29 cm in length and is 6 cm wide. We choose a truss bridge because the triangles would make the bridge stronger. We have used 185 toothpicks. We also used extra toothpicks, to make our bridge stronger. We used PVA glue and a glue gun. It cost 5$ to use the glue gun. Altogether the cost was $138.80c.The deck worked really well but the the sides were bending. The bridge hold up to 1200g. We got 8/10 for the way our bridge looked. The tuck also fitted through the bridge. What we could work on Next time. Next time l think we could work on adding more triangles and more toothpicks under our bridge to make it more stronger. We could have double layered all of our toothpicks. We used rice to see if our bridge will hold or break. Our group placed 3rd overall. We think that we did great overall with our bridge.

Basic Facts

This week for Maths Mr Wong Created a Challenge for Mrs Anderson maths group. What I needed to do first was make a copy and then answer the questions on the sheet.  We could use any strategies to solve this. I used algorithm and tidy numbers.

Wheel Words

This week for a reading activity Rotorua and Motuihe were on a site called wheel words. In this Learning Game, we needed to find words that use the letter in the center wheel. I used 3 hints to help me and I found 15 words. I also found 2 obscure words. When I do this again I think I could work on getting 6,7,8 and 9 letter words. We needed to do this in ten minutes.

All about me

This week for tech I am with Mrs Ferguson. What we did first was made a DLO about us. This is a DLO that explains something about me and what I like. My DLO has a photo of my favorite shoes brand,food,sport,game,flower,fruit,app,cartoon,animal and song. In Mrs Ferguson class you do art with technolgy.
