Power Walking

This is my 100 word story I got my picture from Pobble.com.

Rising in the early hours of the morning, the sun’s rays shone over the plains like a golden river and revealed an improbable, fanciful sight. Weirdly, the power surged to such high levels that the pylon began to screech, began to wave, it began to move! The dirt frothed at the feet of the pylon as it raised it’s first foot. Thud! The pylon had taken its first  unsteady step. After a while it had gotten used to walking around and set off towards his best friend. As the pylon approached he zapped his friend with a wave of energy.

Flying High

This is my 100 word story I got my picture from pobble.com.

Perhaps it was because she had wished hard to be as free as they looked when she opened the catch on their tiny door. She did not know why, but one day Sarah rose with the birds as they flew from their tiny cage. It was a weird feeling, to float, to be so weightless. Before long Sarah had deciphered the trick she maneuvered her limbs to move freely through the thick air. It was amazing to feel so free. She drifted over to the window and shoved it open.  Sarah looked down at the fields below and then lept.

Newton’s three laws of motion explained

Last week for writing we were learning to use structure and language features of an explain piece of writing. I wrote my  explanation on how Newton’s three laws of motion apply to our bottle rockets that we have been making for the wonder project. This is my explanation. I really enjoyed writing this explanation because I knew what I wanted to write and I also knew  what all of Newton’s laws of motion are. Thinking of all the words I was going to use to make my writing easy to understand was hard.

How the three The Three Laws of Motion  make the bottle rocket to fly.

This  explanation is going to explain how Newton’s three laws of motion act upon a bottle rocket. 

Newton's First law of motion states that every object will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law applies to our rocket because our rocket will stay at rest until the unbalanced force (thrust) propels our rocket up. 

Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration, this law involves our rocket because the heavier our rocket was the more acceleration we needed to get it off the ground.

Newton's Third law of motion states that every action has an opposite and equal reaction. When involving this law with our rocket it applies because the air pressure(thrust) pushes the air downwards which is the equal reaction then the rocket launches up which is the opposite reaction. 

Newton's first law of motion helps the rocket move. Newton's Second law helps get the rocket off the ground, and Newton’s third law of motion helps our rocket go up. This is why the three laws of motion are important when you launch your rocket.

Did you learn what Newton’s three laws of motion are?

Procedural Writing

In Te Maunga we have been doing Procedural writing about: Beeswax wraps, Bird ball and Pikelets.
Before we wrote the procedure we got to experience it first. The one that I mostly enjoyed was  making
Pikelets.I enjoyed  making Pikelets because we all got a turn at doing something. After we made the
pikelets we got to eat them!!

I also had fun making the Beeswax wraps.

First we could chose a color fabric (yellow or blue) I chose blue, then we could draw whatever we wanted
on it.

After that we got our fabric dipped in beeswax.

We made them so that we didn't have to use gladwrap.

After we made something we wrote a procedures about it.

Writing Goals Term 3

In Te Maunga we did our writing goals,First we had to make a new google drawing in our writing folder. Then we got our writing goals from a sheet and if your name was highlighted it mean you have achieved  it, and if your name is not highlighted it means you have not achieved it and then you put it on your google drawing. Our WALT was WALT: review and select our learning goals.

Should We Have Galas

Should We Have Galas

By Imogen L.P

I definitely think we should have galas at school. Because they are a great way to fundraise money for school trip and new things for school. People have a fun time doing fun games.

Firstly, I think we should have galas so we can fundraise to get new things for school like more things in the playground. We can also fundraise so we can have more school trips in the school year.

Secondly, We should have galas so we can do fun things and activears like

and get things from shops like lucky dips, jelly and much much more.

Thirdly when your gala you learn other thing. You can have things you have never tasted before like food.

So what do you think we should have gales because we get the opportunity to make and buy delicious food and make  money at the some time.

Critter Animation

Today we had the opportunity to add our voice using screen castify to our google slide. My slide letter is Z.

We learnt that in screen castify you had to have loud voice so that you can hear yourself in the speaker,
