Kahoot | History of rugby


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

In this extra literacy task we could either pick to make a kahoot or an animation based around the rugby
world cup and rugby history. e.g Where would the next rugby world cup be held? It was an option to use
a true or false question or/and multiple answers on a kahoot. Unfortunately we couldn't make it public

water safety

LI: to learn water safety

today was your last day of water safety lessons and we were wearing life jackets and it was harder to swim in them because they kept making us float up. the first thing we did when we got into the water was we made a train we had to hold on to the life jacket from another person and we had to kick in the water to move . and then after that we learnt the H.E.L.P position it was were we pulled our knees to our chest and we warped our arms around our legs and stay floating with the life jacket on. We got out of the pools and we stood on the wall of the pools and do a pencil dive. When you dive into the water we had to use our arms to hold onto the life jacket and use the other arm to hold our head and then we jump while we jump we have to bend out legs when we go in.





Time past and future

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


 In this extra math RWC tasks we have been researching and finding information about the
Time, Past & Future for RWC. We had to answer different questions about the time,past & future. e.g
When will the 11th RWC will be held? and how old we would be when it is held? Each rugby world cup

RWC match making

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

This week we have been combining all of numeracy and literacy skills to complete multiple tasks about
the RWC this year. 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. 




Ruby gold berg machines


LI: To make a working Rube Goldberg machine with the 6 simple machines.

There are 6 simple machines. They are: Pulley, Screw, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Wheel and Axle and a Lever. We needed to use these 6 simple machines to create our own Rube Goldberg machines to complete one of three scenarios. The three scenarios we had to choose from I were: Tipping dice out of a cup, putting a ball into a cup and turning on a netbook. We needed to try to make a successful working Rube Goldberg machine using as many of the simple machines as we could. Rube Goldberg created machines to complete tasks in simple ways. The task we had to complete was trying to turn on a Chromebook and the materials we used were four wooden shapes, one meter ruler,toy car,  yo yo, container, string, and a cup..the simple machines we used were the pulley, lever, inclined plane, and a wheel and axle.   

Reflection 
Some of the challenges we faced were trying corporate as a group and share ideas because everyone had different ideas and it was hard to keep up with all the different ideas.  Why do you think this failed ? I think our simple machine failed because we didn't have put everything in the right place. Something we could change or did differently to make it work was to use the right materials

AM is also known as anti meridian, PM stands for post meridian. If we had to try find out the time zones in larger countries we had to find out the times in the east coast and west coast. We used a site called " Time converter". We have shown the times in the 24hr clock for some countries.
