Party Popper Prototype

My group, Butter Cup created a party pooper prototype for our company.

First we tested all of the different materials there were. We had to write down each result and see if it failed or not. We liked most of the filling because it went high and made a big explosion.

Next we made a list of all the materials we wanted to use to make our prototype. We highlighted all of the materials we wanted to use for our party popper in yellow. When we all decided on the materials we thought of different unique designs for the cup.

To finish up We gathered all the material we needed to create our party popper prototype. On our list we had things that weren't in the bunch of material so we created it ourself. We all decided to keep the current design of the prototype we made.

We enjoyed creating the party popper prototype because we got to use our imagination and test lots of different things. We would have liked to test different material but there wasn't enough material to create two party poppers. We could try to make the weight heavier and try to find a good length so that the filling explodes better.

Simple Machines

Did you know that the pulley, wheel and axel and screw they all move objects. A screw works by turning around, a wheel and axle is worked by an axle, a pulley is worked by pulling on a rope and a wheel and by working together the heavy object will lift.

Simple Machines

These are simple machines that we found in the school.

Wedge, wheel and axle, lever, inclined plane, screw, and pully.

Simple Machines

 Simple machines are tools people made a long time ago to make moving objects easier to do.

These are the six simple machines:

1. Inclined Plane

2. Wedge

3. Screw

4.Wheel and Axle

5. Lever

6. Pulley

Kapa Haka And Waltz

For inquiry I had to compare 2 different dances from different cultures.

First I had to pick 2 different dances to compare. I chose Kapa Haka and the Waltz.

Then I had to write down all of the similarities that the dances had. The similarities are it is performed by men and woman, they are both traditional, they wear formal clothing, and it is mostly performed at parties.

Then I had to fin out some differences about the two dances. The differences about Kapa Haka to the waltz is that in Kapa Haka the woman wear flax puipui skirts, they use Poi, they wear feathers in their hair, it is used to identify Maori culture and the woman do wiri.

I learnt that in Kapa Haka the skirts they wear are called Flax Puipui skirts, and in the Waltz they dance with partners.

The Three P's

LS1 learnt about the three P's in The Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr.Ogilvie introduced the 3 p's in the Treaty of Waitangi, they are Protection, Partnership, and Participation.

Then in groups we wrote  statements about the 3 p's in LS1. 

LS1 then figured out that the 3 p's are all connected. 

After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connect to me. 

 I chose these three statements to help me with my learning. I need to work on participation and trying things I have not done before.

Light and Sound Experiment

This afternoon LS1 and Room 5 went to the reserve and did an experiment. We needed to put our hands up when we heard the clapper. We made a long line of beside the water. Ms Kirkpatrick was at one end. When she clapped the sound travelled down the line. people put their hands up in a wave. We saw the clapper before we heard the sound because light travels faster than sound.
