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.

Rugby Profile

For this activity we had to pick Rugby Player from the Rugby World Cup and we had to make a profile on them. Like when they were born, their height, weight, their position. We also had to put a picture in and some facts about them.The player we picked was Sonny Bill Williams. He is a former New Zealand boxer and former league player.

We had to add in facts and why we wanted to visit the place. The places we picked were Mt Fuji, Osaka, Tokyo, Sapporo, Kyoto. Mt Fuji is the tallest point in Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the city alone is 3 times bigger than New Zealand. Sapporo is the largest city on hokkaido island.

We are doing a Rugby World Cup Challenge. We had to use our reading, writing, and maths skills to complete the task. The task was to find the differences between New Zealand and Japan and what they both have in common. We learnt New things as we researched about New Zealand and Japan.

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.

We then wrote some information about them and about what their position does. We have also made the position layout of where each player is. We searched up facts about them and found some amazing records that players have made.
