Olympics were held in order to prepare for war. The Olympics were considered a religious event where the athletes participated to honor Zeus (father of all gods). There 9 games that were Boxing Discus Javelin Racing (200 m, 400 m, 1500 - 1800 m) Equestrian (Chariot) Long jump Pankration Wrestling.Athletes were awarded olive wreaths There were no team sports, meaning everyone competed for themselves The athletes would wrap their hands with leather There was only one winner out of the whole Olympics Cities that had conflict would declare truces as the Olympics was more important that wars. The ancient olympics were a religious festival started in 776 BC, they were held on M.T Olympus and lasted 5 days. There would be a truce one month before the games were held so that the city-states could travel safely to the olympics.

Hauora

 

We did a canva poster about the olympians. We had Taha Wairua That is spirtual,Taha Whanau that means family, Taha Hinegaro that means emotionls and Taha Tinana wich means your body. This was about Hauor. 

Mindfulness/recfection.

 LI: to practice mindfulness when in stressful situations.

Mindfulness is training your mind to become aware of not only yourself, but also your surroundings. When it comes to mindfulness, there are two zones. The red zone and the green zone. The red zone is all the negative emotions you feel when stressed. The green zone is all of the positive emotions which help you when feeling stressed. For example, when in a stressful situation, you can clear your mind and stay calm. This is when your mind enters the green zone. In the red zone, you feel waves of negativity overcoming your mind. 

When trying to focus, your mind wanders. Although your body can be present, your mind can be wandering around and thinking about the past or future. With mindfulness, you focus on the present moment and what is happening at that moment.

The mindfulness practice helps you clear your mind, focus on your breathing and overall makes you content and composed. To do this activity, we faced away from others to be focused. We had a straight back, soft stomach, closed eyes and our hands on our knees. When the mindfulness bell rang, we calmed ourselves and focused on our breathing. When breathing, you are more focused on you and your surroundings. 

Acid and base

 Acids And Base.

• What is ph?

Ph is the measurement of how acidic and base water is

• How do you measure  ph?

The pH value can be measured using electrochemical measuring systems, litmus paper, or indicators and colorimeters.

• What is the scale pH is measured on?

pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base

• What ph level does water have is water acidic?

Neutral

• What is the most acidic ph level?

0 is the most acidic level

• What is the most basic ph level?

14 is the most alkaline level.

-----------------------------------------------------------

If there is more hydrogen ion it is acidic, and if there is more hydroxyl ions it means it is alkaline. 6 is the weakest acid and 8 is the weakest alkaline. Hydrochloric acid is the acid that helps digest the food you eat.

----------------------------------------------

Aim or purpose: Test the pH levels in different household products

• Well plate 

• pH strips

• pH chart

• dropper

• baking soda

• distilled water

•  window cleaner

• toilet bowl cleaner

• lemon juice

• milk

• orange juice 

• apple juice

Matariki

 LI: To strengthen our connections to Matariki

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition.

I enjoy this because it was a fun task to do and we learn about Matariki.

Peace

LI:to edit our writing using draft 

Poem. Today we were writing a poem about peace. We talked about peace and what it is. We had to use the 5 senses that are smell, taste, hear, touch /feeling, see. After our poem was complete we used DRAFT to check our work. DRAFT is looking closely at your words and making our work better.

An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state (you cannot see, hear, touch or smell an abstract noun). 

Ven digram

Venn Diagram: 

LI: To find as many similarities and differences as you can between the video and the text of “The Beginning”. 

For this task we compared the text “The beginning” and the video of rangi and papa’s story on a Venn Diagram. A venn diagram is used to show the similarities and differences between two or more things, the parts of the circle that overlap the other are for writing similarities and the parts that do not overlap are for writing the differences between the two things.

Sumarising

 

For inqury we did the Taonga of storytelling. Storytelling is  huge part of the culture and history of Aotearoa.

We had to write 20 imporant word's that we thought that were. Next we had to pick 6 words that were imporantant. Last we had to use those 6 words to sum up the text.

An abstract noun refers to an idea, quality or state that you can't see, hear, touch or smell.

Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.

I enjoyed this activity because

Technological practices

LI: To use technological practices process to design a toy.

l

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.

I found this activity interesting because we found ways to create the mars rover with materials we had.

Asb Getwise

Identify, Investigate & Design a model of rover

 L.I to Identify, Investigate & Design a model of rover

The three technological practices were identify, investigate and design. When doing these technological practices, we need to make sure we are doing it properly for a proper trial and error project. Identify means to observe the opening problem. Investigating means to research how to solve the problem or research how to use materials for the model. Design means to draw or create a blueprint/sketch of your model. These three practices help you to build an end product of your model. Our group enjoyed looking into these practices and worked together as a group to come up with a design.

Duffy

 Today we had a assembly but it was a duffy assembly. There was a person that talk about reading and his name was called Marc. Marc  told us a story that was about when he was reading. He was in prison but a teacher was teaching him to read because if he didn't know he wouldn't know how to read. He told us his life about reading. He told that he was sad when someone says he cant but he told us that if you remove the t you get you can.

I Hope I Win this Race...

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

Getting each ingredient by winning each round of charades made my group feel more confident we might win. When I picked up the pen I was shaking because it felt like I was going to let my team down. It was funny because it looked like I was going to get the answer wrong, but in our group we had to collaborate together to be able to succeed together, so I didn’t. We felt that we did a good job in the pancake race. I really enjoyed that because it was fun to make and eat the pancakes.

Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.
