Tea bag experiment

This morning in maths we started of with an experiment, that involved a tea bag and a lighter

The tea bag is like a hot air balloon when Mrs stone sets the teabag on fire the air inside of the teabag starts to heat up and because it is heating up it is starting to rise because heat always rises it pushes against the fabric wall of the teabag and forces the tea bag to rise into the air.Hot air rises because it has more energy than cold air

Reflection

Move Ya Body

This term we have been learning how to Move our Body at the start of the term we learnt ballet and then we got the chance to learn a new skill so over the past 4 weeks we have been learning a new skill, our whole class got split into little groups and had the chance to learn that new skill. At first it was hard to find a new skill so it was kind of stressful. But and the end we ended up all combining together as a class and doing one dance together there was only 1 group that performed something different. So our skill was a dance called footloose.

Athlete Writing

This weeks writing task was called "Show don't Tell". We had to pick an athlete NOT USAIN BOLT and we had to explain how they were feeling Before the race,During the race and After the race.Hope you enjoy this piece of information.


Blake just finished running the 200m race, he clapped his hands together and jumped with joy  but you could tell that he looked tired.

How does it feel coming second? Trying to beat Bolt would have been exhausting for you. What a privilege it would’ve been to run against the greatest Usain Bolt.

I felt pretty good coming second because its better then coming last, Now I know that all I have to do is try to keep fit so maybe next time I race against Bolt I might even beat him.

FiaFia is a night event for the school that we  have every 2 years.There are loads of groups to choose from.This year I decided to join the Senior Samoan Group I think that was the best choice.We practised a lot but it was worth it, when FiaFia night finally arrived I felt great., There were food stores, most of the food stores were yum. All the students were called in to dressing rooms between 6:00 and 6:30 and the first performance  started at 7:00. FiaFia night ended around 9:30.When it was our turn to perform I felt funny in the stomach,but as I was performing I felt good.After the performance I felt like I wanted to perform again.After each group finished performing they went back to there changing rooms and got change back into there normal clothes.When the students finished getting change they were on there way home.I felt good but also cold after that night even though it was raining I still felt good.Best FiaFia.

We are learning to solve division problems using proportional adjustments

Timetable practice:

7²    49     8²  64  9²    81   12²     144     6²     36    5²      25    10²  100

  √81  9    √49  7  √81 9  √144  12    √36   6    √121  11

Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction

2 3 × (8 + 4 − 10)=46

2 × ( 3 3 − 5 + 8 )=72

( 3 × 2 2 ) ÷ (6 − 4)=64

3 3 × (6 + 2 − 8) =0

( 3 2 − 8 + 2 ) × 4=104

( 9 2 − 8 + 2 ) ÷ 5=17.5

( 3 + 5 2 − 8 ) × 4=  376

( 2 3 + 4 ) ÷ (9 − 6)=9

( 6 − 2 2 + 5 ) × 8=168

( 2 3 + 8 − 4 ) ÷ 3=9

for my home colour Hikianalia (yellow).

I Was born and raised in New Zealand,Both my parents were also born and raised in New
Zealand. I grew up in a family of 7.As I grew older I found out that I had 2 older brothers
than me.I found that it was cool to have 2 older brothers than me.

I really enjoy playing sports my favourite sport to play in Netball. The first year I started
playing netball for a team at Pt England was in year 7.When I was in year 4,5 and 6 my
friends keep telling me to play but I didn't. And then when I finally played they were
excited.

As a student I am really looking forward to learning new things at school,I am also looking
forward to becoming a house captain.I am looking forward to meeting new people. Lets
make 2018 a great year.

Yours Sincerly
