Inquiry: Rockets

This week for inquiry we are learning about rockets. For our must do we worked with the rest of the rockets group and we got to design our own rockets to see what rockets would work for a mission. Then we wrote down the information we needed and worked with 2 other people to get information about real rockets.

Inquiry: Epic Rap Battle: Jean Batten And Amelia Earhart VS The Wright Brothers And Richard Pearse

This week for Inquiry we got to make a Rap Battle with and Aviator battling another aviator. I worked with Abdurrahim, Sanujan, Rachel, Joseph And Aiden. Aiden wasn't here to be in the video because h had to go to Napier, but we still had fun making this. Since there was only Rachel who was a girl I did the singing of Jean Batten as Rachel was Amelia Earhart. Joseph did the role of Richard Pearse and Abdurrahim and Sanujan did the role of the Wright Brothers. The link to the video is here: Epic Rap Battle

Writing: Explanation Text

This week for writing we made another explanation text but this time we new what to do completely and knew how to make it better. The text is still the same subject but has better information. 

Maths: Average Weather

L.I: to accurately interpret data

L.I: to accurately present

This week for maths we had to go on a spreadsheet that had the weather, and what we had to do is get the average number for the temperature, rain fall and wind for July. Then when we got the average numbers for every month and make a line graph with three different coloured lines. After that we had to show the probability of needing something in that month. The probability of needing a raincoat on June was high because that is the highest rainfall of the year. The probability of lots of people at the beach March was high because that was the highest temperature in the year. The probability of not needing a raincoat on March was high because that was the lowest rainfall point in the year. The probability of needing an umbrella and it going inside out on June was high because on March there was lots of rain and the wind was blowing hard. 

Reading: High Flyers

L.I: to summarise the main idea from the text.

This week for reading we read the text High Flyers. It was about the year 6, 7 and 8's from Auckland Point School and they made an advertisement about Richard Pearse for a competition. We had to do the 5 W's and the H and make a 25 word or under summery about the text.

The Mannequin Challenge

Today LS1 did the Mannequin Challenge. The Mannequin Challenge is when you record people standing still like a Mannequin. This is how it ended up.

Inquiry: Aviators

This week for inquiry our subject is about Aviators. An aviator is the pilot, and for this activity we had to choose a famouse Aviator to either make a google map about where they flew to, make a Venn Diagram compairing the plane they flew in to a mordern plane, or we could make a timeline of their achievements. You had to do two and you could work with someone. I worked with Sanujan and we did the google map and the Venn Diagram. Below there is the link to the map we made and an image of the Venn Diagram we made.
