Rocket Inquiry Video

 Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Task Is To Continue On With Our Final Rocket Inquiry Video. Since we last launched our Rocket we have been creating a video from all of the events that have occurred this Term and presented it visually in a way that our Families and Friends can see. Before we started filming, we had to come up with an enticing Script which we will read aloud. For our Film, we used IMovie and added interesting effects such as Rockets Departing as a sound effect, Different Filters, and a VoiceOver. There was a certain rubric that we had to follow of all of the things we had to include, for example, Talking about our Wonder Project Ambassador, their job and how it relates to working with and certain functions and mechanisms of a Rocket, Finding our Centre of Mass and a Swing Test, Our Prototype for our Rocket, Aerodynamics and Stability, Newtons Laws Of Motion, and lastly, what we would do to change or modify and improve our Rocket. On Wednesday, we will have our Celebration Assembly and our Families can participate in what we have been learning this Term, while also having a friendly but competitive competition to see whose D.I.Y Rocket can fly the furthest by using different items, for example, Hex - Nuts can be used for the drag of your Nose Cone which acts as a Parachute. The Measurements will be recorded from the Distance, The Time of Flight that it was in the air for, and the distance of your Rocket calculated from Kilometers. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, I am unable to post my video. What is your Inquiry This Term Were you working integrated or individually?

Numeracy (Angles Of Triangles)

Hello Bloggers, Todays Numeracy Task throughout the week is learning about the different Angles interior and exterior and Polygon Angles. As well as drawing some shapes using a compass- not a North/South compass, but a pair of compasses that you draw circles with. On Monday we practised drawing Triangles and working out the different Degrees of Angles, for example, an Obtuse Angle is less than 90* and more than 180*. We have also been constructing different shapes, drawing various tables and working out the Formula. To work out the Formula for working out the interior angle of any given sided Polygon, it to take the number of sides minus it by two and then multiply by 180*. Now Today is Thursday and we have been doing a Test about what we have learnt over the past week. Here some examples of my Knowledge.

Weekly Tasks!

Hello Bloggers, We have now been out of LockDown from the Corona Virus and are back at School. I have been doing numerous different tasks during the week including Numeracy and Literacy Tasks. For maths, I have been learning about Scales and the World for Example the scale for the South Island is 1:500,0000cm. I have also been learning about the different Angles and Rules of shapes, for example, we have a protractor and a shape with three different alphabet letters then we would have to measure It and also find the rule. In literacy, I have been focusing and gathering information about The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz which is one of my favourite movies. Usually every Term we would have to read and write an essay about that topic and genre although we are doing something different and using our creativity in a different way, which is creating our very own Website. On my Website, I am going to have different themes including Themes (Home, FriendShip and Perseverance) The Characters, Symbols, And Summary and Analysis. What have you been doing since you have been back to School?
