L.I to respect our self and others.                                                                                                                  It is Niuean language week and we were talking about facts and what is special about Niue.

We can by sleeping, smiling, showering and others.

KiwiSport

L.I. To learn water safety.
For Kiwi sport it was the last week. For today we got to wear the life jackets. We first put the life jackets on and we did our safe entry into the water. We first had to swim to the wall and get into a group. We had to grab each other's life jacket and lay on our back. This was a chain pose and we had to move our feet to push us to the other side and back.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We then had to get into a circle holding each other's life jacket and then let the smallest person into the middle so that the other people can keep the small person warm. The other way of doing this if you are alone is to tuck your knees into your chest and then use your arms to tight your legs to your chest. This is the HELP pose. HELP stands for Heat, Escape, Lessening, Pose.                                                                                                                                                                                                           Lastly we did our pencil entry. We had to put one hand behind our head and the other on our shoulder using one foot to step into the water. We all had to do it and then we jumped into the water and then high five the instructors as we are jumping in. We then had to shower with the life jacket and put them away. I felt great and happy.

Rube Goldburg Machine

LI: to make a working Rube Goldberg machine using the six simple machines

LI: To make a working rube Goldberg machine by using the 6 simple machines. Over the past weeks, in groups LS1 had to make a Rube Golderg machine, We used the 6 simple machines. Wheel and axle, Lever, Incline plane, Pulley, Screw & wedge had to be included. The challenges were turning a Chromebook on, helping Mr Wong roll dice and hitting a putter. Our scenario was turning on the Chromebook. On the last week our group had managed to get the machine finish. We used four different types of simple machines a wheel and axle, pulley, incline plane and a lever. For the wheel and axle we used a car. For the Pulley we used a string from a yo-yo and latches from the window. For the incline plane we used a marble roll down a ramp. And used the dominoes as the lever. The most challenging task was creating the machines and trying to apply the 6 simple machines and communicating with our group to know what is going on and how we could help. I'd change another way of putting dominoes up without it falling because we always had to keep putting it up. And the amount of sellotape we used.

Rugby positions

AM means before morning and PM means after noon. While researching we learnt that big countries like Australia have different time zones. USA has a western time and eastern time because it is a big country.

Faulty reasoning

                                        LI: to understand faulty reasoning

We had to read a text and find the faulty reasoning in them and then put them onto the slide.

The activity was about getting in groups of three and writing down a plan, and the challenges we want to write about.
