Face Mask

 

Lockdown T-shirt

 

This is my Lockdown T-shirt design. I've included the words Lockdown and Level 4. I've also included a face mask and a koru. I tried to keep it all about lockdown and the koru was just for decoration.

Blog A Buddy

 This is my Blog a buddy post. My buddy is Tumoana and our activity is basketball. Me and Tumoana love to play basketball and practically play everyday. Even though it's lockdown, me and Tumoana still love to practice and practice and practice! I've taken a photo of me and a short video just to show what I'm doing.

 My word art consists of things that make me happy.

Jean Batten-Aviator

My First activity for Jean Batten was a picture we had to decode. It took a lot of focus to figure it out and we took only 7 minutes. My two other favourite activities were the Morse and Crack the code cards, and Balloons. For the Morse and crack the code cards, we had to figure out the code on the card and also the morse code that was online. We had to be listening very hard and we also had to be patient. For the balloons however, it was pretty straightfoward. All you really had to do was pop the balloons until someone found the clue. It only needed you to be patient. Not all of these activities were hard but they all took skills.

My Goals For Term 3

    Group Work

My goal for Group Work is based around listening to others and inclusion inside the group. I feel like I need to be a whole lot better at letting other people take control and see what they can do to contribute. I'm not the best at listening to others ideas but I think if I can discipline myself enough, I think I can listen to others so I can be more Inclusive.

Writing

The writing goal I have set for my self is about my sentence styles and the places they are put. I want to be better at explaning my opinion through different sentence styles so I can be clear with what I'm trying to say. I also want to get better at placing each sentence style in better and more understanding for readers.


Math

From looking at my maths and what I find difficult, I can tell I have trouble with numbers above 12 in all of the operations. So, my goal for maths in term 3 is to learn how to figure out the answer quickly and easily for numbers above the number 12 consisting all operations. I hope by the end of the term I can start to learn above two digit numbers.


Reading

I don't have a clear idea on what I need to work on for reading but I am sure that I need to work on reading out loud and being fluent with my words. I would like to be able to say the words better so people can fully understand me and what I'm saying.


My Personal Goal

My personal goal for term 3 is all about my basketball skills. My goal is to be able to get past my opponent with ease and get to the basket. I would like to be able to score on my opponent while they are underneath basket as well.

Rocket Challenge

 This term, we've created bottle rockets that we can launch on the school field. We each had to make groups of at least 4 people. In my group we had Me, Kaylis, Tumoana and Lockeya. We made our group name OTK Bubblestring 364. 

We focused on 6 modules on our work, Force, Aerodynamics, Mission Command, Fly, The Final Blast off and Thrust. We need force so that our rockets can fly high enough in the air. We also need to use aerodynamics to find out how the rocket can go through the air the best way it can. And we need Thrust so we have enough force to go up. We have possitions for people like Chief Engineer, Chief Scientist and Safety Officer. All of these possitions are very important. The Chief Engineer will set the rocket up and launch it. The Chief Scientist will record all data for the mission and the Safety Officer will be in charge of keeping everyone's safety.

The features of the rocket is also very important for the best peformance possible. We need the base, nosecone, fins for the rocket to fly. The most fins you could have would be around 3-4. Any more would add too much weight. The size of those fins can also affect the peformance of your rocket. 

We all used Newton's 3 laws of motion as well. 

1. An object will remain at rest or keep moving forever at the same speed and in a straight line unless there is another force ucting upon it.



2. Force= Mass x Acceleration. The more weight a object has, the more force is needed to make it move.

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
