Tane Mahuta 
Week 5
190821

This week for Tane Mahuta, we went back into our three groups. The first group went with Mark to prune trees, the second group helped Mrs.Alan with the outside classroom. Lastly, the third group went with Mr.Tisch to help with the veggie beds.

On one side, Makenzie and I raked the dirt while the others on the other side loosened the dirt with the shovels. Once Makenzie and I finished raking one side the others went ahead and started planting some vegetables. Makenzie and I continued to rake the other side.

After interval, we made a tunnel on top of the veggie beds. 

When we were finished with the tunnel, we helped Mrs.Alan with the outside classroom. We put different objects into assigned spots. If any of the parts had metal or wood on it they would break it off.

PE Hurumanu - Small Team Reflection

This week in our P.E Hurumanu we played Cross-Court Games in the new gym, our focus was to work in teams with people you’ve never worked with.

Our activity was Cross-Court Games, For this activity, I rated my self as a level 3.

To achieve level 3 we have to show that we can consistently make a contribution to the team goal.

During the game of Cross-Court Games showed that I am working at level 3 by including myself in the team activity and I include others. These examples show that I have met the standard for level 3.

While playing the Cross-court games, something that I found challenging was communicating with the other team. The reason I found this challenging was because they wouldn’t share the ball and kept taking their time to make a goal.

However, I managed to overcome this challenge by both teams talking it out with a teacher and playing the game fairly.

Next week I am aiming to work at level 4 To make sure that I am working that level I am going to work on always encouraging others and using positive words and actions to lift my team’s performance.

My Shoe Life

• ༶•┈┈⛧┈♛ ♛┈⛧┈┈•༶

“Hello. My name is Red and here’s my life as a shoe!”

The sound of the door shutting excited me. I was finally home alone, the house to myself! I leaped off the shoe shelf onto the cold ground. I walked into my owner's office to see her lonely Chromebook. I used my imaginary strength and tried to lift up the lid.

I grabbed a colored pencil and shoved it under the lid. I moved back and started running, I jumped high into the air and onto the pencil. Up! Went the lid. I smiled to myself. “Ah, I have amazing ideas”

I signed into her Chromebook and admired the bright light coming from the Chromebook. “Where’s her speaker at?” I jumped off the desk and onto the floor. I walked around the house trying to find her speaker. “Oh speaker, where are you. This is so sad, Alexa play despacito”

Alexa: “Playing Despacito”

“Wait- I didn’t actually mean play Despacito”  

I carried on my adventure walking around the house trying to find her speaker. I was having a fun time until I reached… “The Stairs” My ultimate enemy.

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics

• In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record  its distance and behaviour

Definition:
The action or process of flying through the air

4 Forces of flight:

• Gravity
• Thrust
• Drag
• Lift

Material:

• Paper
• Paper clip
• Ruler
• Scissors 

Steps:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	1 meter	Swooped
Ailerons	2 meter	Curved
Paper clip	2.3 meter	Curved

Conclusion:
Today, we learnt about the four different forces. Gravity, Thrust, Drag and Lift. We then made different paper planes Normal, Ailerons & Paper Clips. On our first throw (Lily) it swooped and got to 1 meter.
