Inquiry | Emergency Shelters

Emergency Shelters are to protect people from Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Volcano eruptions, Fire, and Storms.

Storm shelters can protect people from rolling over because there are things blocking from the side to the other side. This storm shelter would be able to survive a very large storm. The weakness for this shelter is water can fall inside.

Volcano eruptions shelters has a lot of protection because the stones would help the shelter not melt down from the lava. The weakness is that the lava might go flat through the hole if the person goes close to the volcano.

Shelters are used to protect people from accidents and disasters.

Touch Rugby

This week for Touch Rugby I learned two new basic skills.

First I practised how to plant the ball. I had to plant the ball by putting it on the ground and steping over it.

Next I played a game called "Blue Bibs versus Non-Bibs." Each team has a ball. Some players have a ball and some don't. I had no ball I had no ball so I had to tag the perso with the ball. When I tagged the person he planted the ball and passed to me so I have to run away from the person with no ball.

The last skill I learnt was defending and attacking. There was 2 defenders and 1 attacker. The defender has to try and block the ball the attackers from scoring a try.

I enjoyed Touch Rugby because I learnt new basic skills.

Novel Study | Fantastic Mr Fox

This novel study was about Fantastic Mr Fox. A novel study is getting information from novels. There were three chapters to read and they were about Mr Fox trying to escape the hole but Boggis, Bunce, and Bean were too desprate to get Mr Fox so they stayed next to the hole to wait for the fox.

When Bunce and Bean was digging to get Mr Fox, Boggis was looking to see if they were close to the fox and when they were close to the fox, Boggis will shoot the fox with his shotgun. Mr Fox and his family were very tired of digging and they were so hungry.

Bunce and Bean stopped because they were hungry and tired too, and so as Boggis. They wanted to go back to the farm to get some food but they didn't want Mr Fox and his family to escape. So the famers shaked each others hands and swore that they stayed and looked after the fox day and night, so they went to the other farms and asked if they had any tents or sleeping bags. They put the tents surrounding the foxes hole.

Bunce and Bean and Boggis ate the same meal as usual. Boggis had chicken with dumplings, Bunce had douhnuts with revolting goose paste, and Bean had two gallons of apple cider. Boggis pointed his chicken to the hole and he said "Hey, Mr Fox this is your last day eating chicken!"

Mr Fox and his family were hungry but they didn't give up.

L.I To study novels

Division

This week's maths task we had to do some more story problems but shared with three groups. Division is sharing objects evenly. 

First I had to write the original number. For example: I had 27 chicken drum sticks.

Next was to write how many groups that was shared. For example: I shared it among me, Xavier, and Paul. 

Third was to write how much objects or things we got each. For example: Each of us got 9 chicken drum sticks.

Lastly was to write the algorithim. For example: 27 ÷ 3 = 9.

I enjoyed this task because I like division.

L.I To divide objects evenly

SSR Selfie

I did an SSR Selfie on Fantastic Mr Fox.

First I had to answer what was the tittle? What was the authors name? What was the Illistrators name? And the main characters.

Next I had to list three events in the story. For example: Mr Fox steals from the farmers.

Lastly I had to tell what I thought about the book.

L.I To re-tell and summarise the text.

Narritive Plan

This week we wrote a narritive plan for filming a movie.

First I had to remember what TOPES is. TOPES is Tittle, Orientation, Problem, Events, and Soloution. Orentation shows an introduction about the character. Problem is something that goes wrong. Soloution is figuring out the main problem.

Next we watched 2 different films. When we were watching the 2 films we guessed what the TOPES that were in the film.

Lastly we had to write ideas for the filming and then write a narritive. The page has to be an A4 page. The film has to take 2 miniutes maximum. My idea was me and Xavier getting chased by a zombie.

L.I To write a short story that can be made 

Keeping it Warm and Cold

Insulators means blocking the heat from trying to escape.

There were 5 different materials: Glass, metal, polysyrene, plastic, and cups.

The best insulator for keeping things warm are polystyrene because it is a cooling rate of 8.

The best insulator for keeping things cold are polystyrene and paper because it is a cooling rate of 2.

L.I To learn and practise experimental methods

L.I To determine the insulative properties of materials
