Poetry

WALT respond to different types of poems. we are going to use diffrent poems to help us practice our reading stratiges.  

Rhyme is when two words sound the same because they have the same sound at the end of the word.

Alliteration is kind of the opposite of rhyme it is when the first sounds instead of the end An example of alliteration is jumpy january, its just needs the same sound in the front of the word. b bf

Music with Matua Jade

WALT explore different musical instruments and we are learning to give different types of music a go.

On the second sessin with Matua Jade me and Kieran wanted to sing. Well Kieran did and he wanted me to help so we got up and started singing we sang bang it was more fun than I thought it would be I was nervous and it took three tries for the ipad to work me and Kieran were the only person to put there hand up to sing but after me and Kieran sang we inspired the class to sing. It was amazing hearing the students sing I tried singing with them.  

  

Simple Circuits

We are learning how to make simple circuits.

We made some Simple Circuits what you need is Led lights, Playdoh, Wires and a Batery Pack. The batery pack is the power sorce when me and my class mates did this fun activity. I had lots of fun if you have this stuff at home try it. Me and my partner ryan had a litle siance kit that had every thing we needid. What a Simple Circuit does is it turns the led light on. im going to tell you how to set it up. First to make the Simple Circuit is get your playdoh and make too big balls. Then you get the led /light emitting dioed. And put in the right way on the povitve side then you get some wires and plant them it the playdoh and it should work.

Water - Amazing Subtance

We are using water to help us understand different scientific concepts.

Last Friday we did science. I learnt an experiement called the gravity defying lid.

Then we did another experiment. We were going to see which is heavier, cold water or warm water.

We also did another experment and learnt a new word called evaporation. The experiment was about which place makes water evaporate quicker, n the shade or in the open. (The sun) The answer is the open.
