Who? What? When? Where?
On the 13th of october we sat on the mat to watch the immersion assembly. Each team made a video about what they are going to be doing this term. Guess what team was my favourite?
What happened? Add your ideas to answer these questions:
We sat on the mat
Then Mr Burt was talking about what was the theme for this term
Then the senior management team made video
We watch all the teams 1,2,3,4 and 5 videos.
What is the school theme for Term 4 ? What are the other teams doing? (3-4 sentences)
May the force be with you Kia kaha te kaha ki a koe. Most of the teams are doing activities using the four forces. Some teams are doing fun things like marbles,sounds,paper planes, and making their own animations.
What is Team 4’s topic about? What did the Team 4 teachers share? (3-4 sentences)
How do the four forces of flight work together to help things fly. Our teachers made a video about paper planes and why your instructions should be clear. This term we will be learning about how the four forces help things drag,lift,weight and thrust.
What do you want to/hope to learn about? (3-4 sentences)
I want to learn more about planes and how they use the four forces to fly. How the four forces can be useful in different ways. What do we know to make a perfect paper plane.
Reorientation (Summary): What do you think about the new term theme overall?
I think the new theme is alright because we get to make planes and do experiments. I do loe learning about planes and new things.
On the 13th of October the school bell rang. We ran down to the mat and sat while waiting for the immersion assembly. When the live started we did the prayer and the mihi.
Then we got started with a video from Mr Burt, Mr Jacobson and Mrs Nua. They showed us hurricanes, tornados and storms. Then some water dams showed us how we get electricity and how they water goes to places,
Then team 1 movie was up. The three little pink pigs made their own home using different materials like hay, straws and brick.The wolf ( Mrs Hockley) used different methods to try to break in and eat the pigs for lunch.
When they went to the first pig’s house and had some tea. Then the wolf pushes the house down and luckily they all escape to the second pig’s house. It was a straw house. It was nice and warm. When the wolf pulled the house down. They ran as fast as they could to the third pig’s house and luckily it was a brick house.
The wolf tried to lift the building but it was too heavy for her. Then the wolf did more research and that was it. Then it was Team 2’s turn. There were 3 little kids who loved to go to the marble park.
One day they were playing with the marble and realised why some marbles go faster than the others. Then they realise it because some are heavy and some are lighter. Then made their own marbles course.
After that it was team 3’s turn. They made a song about the four forces and what it is used for. Back in the days there was no machine or transportation to move,pull and push.
So they had to create their own things to get objects moving. They used a rope to pull a bag to the top of the tree. Now in modern days we have things called trolleys. After that it was my team, team 4’s turn. My teachers made a video about what instructions are useful and why we have to listen carefully.
If you want to make a plane you have to read or watch the instructions carefully. If you didn’t listen to the instructions your plane could be awful. The 6 teachers tried listening to the instructions but only two did it right.
Finally team 5’s finished the end of assembly. They did a video of what vibrations we can hear. They used different instruments and used rubber bands to play with.My favourite team was team 5 because they were funny because they were roasting each other. I felt excited about what we were going to do this term.
