Kiwi Can

Today at Kiwi can we had a very fun game and learned lost of respectful thing too. This was our last session of Kiwi Can for this term. 

We played G.K.Q for our energiser. That was our first time playing energiser before we started learning. Our first question was kinda hard because Mr Numia asked us, what was the first topic for this term and answered it. The first topic was Goal setting. We learnt that goal setting has short term goals and long term goals. I also learnt how to set easier goals to get to the main goals. Then we learned problem solving and to help other people with their problems. After that we learned perseverance. Perseverance means to never give up and to keep trying. 

Then we played a game called multi sport. We had to split into two teams to verse each other. We played three games, Netball, Touch and soccer. At the end we played the whole team when we played touch. That was the end of day we had fun and enjoyed it.

Science Intensive in Room 10

Today we have been learning about magnet's. Magnets is a very strong source of energy only if its is a very strong magnet. When you connect two magnets together it pulls itself together but if you turn one of the magnets around, the other magnet will try to not connect. I learnt so many things like, how to fish with a magnet and how to move a car with a magnet. Magnet's can be very helpful because if you are lost, you can use the compass which uses magnet's. 

Light / Science

Light

In room 9 we have been learning about light and how the light turns int several colours.

The light is the fastest travelling thing on earth. Without light in the world we won’t be able to see coloured objects with our eyes. But we are lucky enough that we have a source of light that is called the sun. The sun creates heaps of different cool colours but all those colours can bunch up into one and create a colour called white.

Reflection is a light that shines from one object into different mirrors if placed in the right place. Light bounces of the different mirrors, big or small but it will still reflect from the mirrors. If a mirror is placed on a angle, the light will bounce somewhere else instead of hitting into the other mirror.

Refraction is when it hits a raindrop or a prism, it will turn back into the seven colours that create the rainbow. When a white light travels through the prism, it will come out as the colours that created the white light. When it goes into the prism and come out as different colours it called Refraction.

Colour is a source of light that come from the sun and earth’s energy. Lights all bunches up into white and when it hits the prism, it turns back into the original colours like if the rainbow colours bunch up, it will turn into one colour called white. Then if it hits something like a raindrop it turns back to the other colours. if a red light hits a green object like grass, it won’t reflect because it is a different colour but if you shine a blue light into a blue object it will reflect back because it is the same colour.

Reading Work

Today my reading group was a book called private peaceful. Today we were reading chapter two because last week we already read chapter one. This book is all about a kid named Tommo. This Picture below is the front cover for the Book.

The Link For The Picture

Dear Auckland Transport

Tuesday, 30th August, 2016

Dear Auckland Transport,

I hope that you know that the death rate from trains has gone up. You need to do something about. Not doing anything to people who had recently died is not okay. Trains are dangerous and can kill people at a instant. The relatives from people who had died from trains are sad and unhappy that someone that is loved so much is now gone and won’t be there when they are in big problems. It is very very sad because there is a hole in her wife heart.

You should add more safety that doesn't include danger. You should set up train cones near the train tracks or you could put loudspeakers in the front of the train to warn the people who are crossing the train tracks. I agree from the the new modern rules and design that you have come up with but there is occurs to the train that needs to be fixed

The conclusion is you listen to our ideas to prevent train deaths from happening in 2016 and the next years.

Yours Sincerely

Sam

Glenbrae School

Science Intensive

Yesterday, Glenbrae school are doing science through the week. My class had to split into two groups so each group can go to each teacher. Ms Stones group went down to room three to do their science and my group stayed in class.  My group learned about the famous scientists named Isaac Newton and how he created the three movements. In my group, we split up into two groups so we could work on each movement and then we work together on the third movement. We learned all about forces and Inertia. Our groups were supposed to swap after morning tea but Mrs Elia told us to go back to our first group. My group made some cars and try to make it move using balloons. It was boys against girls. The girls won because their balloon went forward as ours did front flips.

Haka Practise

Today we had a practise at the All Blacks Haka because on Thursday we are going to have a Cultural festival which every culture comes and perform a dance or something about there culture. The boys in room 7 are going to do the All Blacks Haka, the Samoan Haka and the Tongan Haka. We have to learn the Haka dances before Thursday or Wednesday because we might have to get our clothes. It is going to really scary and fun.
