Measurement

In Te Maunga we did measurement. I learnt how to measure shadows using a metre ruler. We had to put the ruler down then measure the shadow where it starts at the point of the object.

 
 

Science

In Te Maunga this week we learnt about science. We learnt about Rocket Science, Water Science, and Vision Science. We got  into 3 groups and our group did Rocket science first. We learnt how the rockets will blast off and what made them blast off. The main thing was air pressure and that was what made the bottle fly off. Next we learnt about what water is good or not because some water can contain chemicals and it would have colour for it to have poison. They said that we would not want to drink red  tea, teal water and yellow water because they had chemicals. Next we learnt about vision. We had to put a disc in a diagonal cut in a box and then there was a little strip on the opposite side of the box and if we looked through we would see a rainbow glistening off the disc. We got these glasses and when we put them on we would see every color. 

Cricket

 In Te Maunga we did cricket. We learnt that cricket is a side on game for the batter. We also learnt how to hold the bat properly. You had to create a V with your hands and then after practice we played Speed Cricket.

Poetry

 In Te Maunga we learnt about Poetry. I learnt that Metaphors are a simile with no like or as. Metaphors are something that compares something to another.
