Kiwi Sport | Swimming

This week for swimming we wore life jackets to help us float in the water, And how it will feel when we are wearing one in the water. We Learnt the help acronym which means heat, escape, lessening and position. We first had to swim back and forth. Then made a chain by holding one another shoulder opener. The person at the end had to direct us and the rest had to kick to make us move.

Next we got into small groups and we had to huddle each other this helps us keep warm. If someone is drowning its easier to keep them in the middle. We also had to dive underwater with our jackets on. It was challenging because life jackets mostly keep you up. 

Time past and future

 LI: apply inquiry, literacy and numeracy skills to learn about the RWC.

For this literacy task we had to match a player in the rugby world cup to a position that they play. We had to add pictures to show the players and some facts about the players.  e.g Richie Mcaw played as a flanker in the All Blacks and also was the first ever All Black to reach 100 caps. 

Rube Goldberg machines | Inquiry

LI: To make a working rube Goldberg machine by using the 6 simple machines.
Over the past weeks, in groups LS1 had to make a Rube Golderg machine, We used the 6 simple machines. Wheel and axle, Lever, Incline plane, Pulley, Screw & wedge had to be included. The challenges were turning a Chromebook on, helping Mr Wong roll dice and hitting a putter. Our scenario was turning on the Chromebook.

On the last week our group had managed to get the machine finish. We used four different types of simple machines a wheel and axle, pulley, incline plane and a lever. For the wheel and axle we used a car. For the Pulley we used a string from a yo-yo and latches from the window. For the incline plane we used a marble roll down a ramp. And used the dominoes as the lever. 

The most challenging task was creating the machines and trying to apply the 6 simple machines and communicating with our group to know what is going on and how we could help. I'd change another way of putting dominoes up without it falling because we always had to keep putting it up. And the amount of sellotape we used.
