My first soldering!

Last week in electronics we did our first soldering practise. Below is  a picture.

The making of me- interactive website!

Today we have been exploring a site ( the making of me and you ) that gives heaps of interesting facts about our body. All you have to do is put your date of birth, gender, weight and height, then you're away! After gathering some of my most interesting facts I have made a tagul. Check out the link up top and give it a go :-)

The Body- Te Reo Style!

Yesterday in Te Reo/ Inquiry we had to find the maori name for a list of body parts and then label them next to a body.

Logos in maths!

Over the past two days in maths, we have had the task of creating a logo for a new brand of car, lollies, clothing item etc. that must show some form of translation, rotation or reflection. I have created a logo for a new brand of togs. It shows rotation and the shape of the fish can have horizontal line of symmetry through the middle.

Ode to my Abs

Oh! How I miss you dearly.

I had all 6 of you hard as rocks,

but now…

But now like a fox you have snuck away .

Two of you faintly,

are still hopefully here to stay.

You made my nickname so real

and the happiness I would feel,

when people say...

“ Bet you don’t have abs!

Probably have flabs!”

They were wrong, so wrong!

You complimented me so nicely,

but I must admit at times you were pricey💵

All the sit-ups and crunches,

Not being able to have that piece of cake🍰

in my school lunches!

Oh, how I do miss you dearly,

But now I must stop before I get teary😢

Reflection

😊-  I really like how my poem has used rhyming .

😇- I think that I have used all of the success criteria well.

😖 - Next time I think I could do a more 'helpful' body part.

First session in electronics!

My learning journey in electronics began today. I found that the ' Get ready Get thru' website says that we need a torch with spare batteries in our emergency kit. I am going to design and make a torch ready for an emergency.

Sculpt it!

Revolving around this terms inquiry 'The amazing human machine!' room four had the challenge of making a suitable body part out of plasticine. We partnered up and had 15 minutes to make our body part. When we received our plasticine it was really hard so we had to kneed it so we were able to mold it. What worked well in our group was that we were the only group who did a stomach with abs and also we just got stuck into it. I think what could do next time to improve would be using more elements of 3D.

Wai and I making our stomach and abs.

Our final product.

Going for gold in term 2!

 My Goals for Term 2

STOP	KEEP	START
I am going to stop having a bad mindset at maths time.	I am going to keep trying new  things to go towards my golds.	I am going to start making my science project amazing!
