Earthquake tower challenge

 Earthquake tower challenge 

we had to design and construct a two-story building using the

following materials!

-1 cardboard base (approximately 25 cm by 25 cm)

-30 straws

-100 paper clips (one box)

-20 pins

-2 meters of string

We (as a group) had question’s that we had to answer!

Our first question was.

what are the strongest parts of my building. was the walls because it keep the hole building up

what are the weakest prats of the building was the bottom of it because the bottom keep on coming apart so we tied the string up around the paper clips and pins.

where did you use your string in your structure. we put the string on the outside of the structure and we put it at the bottom so it can hold it up

Then we put the sand in the middle of the tower then we counted how many second that the structure can hold the sand it holed it for 2 second and then it was morning tea. Ather morning we keep on building structure then we put the sand in the middle again and holed it for 43 second

whats is matter

Today we have been learning about the three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) and the changes of matter. In this experiment we first we put chocolate chips in the microwave.

This meant that the chocolate changed from a solid to a liquid. Then we pour the chocolate to make shape This meant that the chocolate changed from a liquid to a solid when it cool down.

mt Vesuvius

2,000 citizens of the city died from the ash flow, gases and debris from the eruption. When Mount Vesuvius erupted cataclysmically in the summer of A.D. 79, the nearby Roman town of Pompeii was buried under several feet of ash and rock.Pompeii.

Along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m 13 to 20 of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Pompeii was a large Roman town in the Italian region of Campania which was completely buried in volcanic ash following the eruption of nearby Mt Vesuvius.

why we come to school

Why we came to school is because is so we can learn and have a favorite teacher, job and have a fantastic life with school.

In school we learn to work with others and teachers and not playing games on learning time. Thats is important skills. Requiring kids to go to school is called compulsory education. Compulsory means that you have to do something. Kids got the summer off from school because schools in earlier times followed a farmer's schedule.

You can join clubs and make friends with people who have the same It's easy to understand why some students don't like school. Children don't like school because they love freedom. students don't like school because their teachers don't have a full understanding of certain cognitive principles and therefore don't teach as well as they could.

It is important to go school is because if you don’t learn much you not smart if you go to school everyday it good so when you go school and learn something you can came home and tell your parents what you did at school and if you get a certificate you're the student of the week. And you can take it home and give it to your parents and they might give something to you for being good and being the student of the week.

Place Value Division

Place Value Division

We are learning to solve division equations using our knowledge of place value

Multiplication practice:

56 ➗ 8 =   7          72 ➗ 9 =    8            44 ➗ 11 = 4

45 ➗ 9 =   5           64 ➗ 8 =     8           56 ➗ 7 = 8

35 ➗ 5 =    7         144 ➗ 12 =   12          27 ➗ 3 = 9

Albert earns $6 for each dog he walks. He walks 5 dogs an hour. After walking dogs for 2 hours, how much money will Albert have earned? 6 x 5 =30 2 x 30 = 60 He earned $60.00 for 2 hours. Farah works as a librarian. If Farah worked for 10 days and earned $1,500, how much did she earn per day? 1500 / 10 = 150 Steven made 600 pieces of peanut brittle to share with his       friends. He put 3 pieces of peanut brittle in each tin. How many tins was Steven able to fill? 600 / 3 = 200 Vondra used 32 stamps to post 4 letters. She used the same number of stamps on each letter. How many stamps did Vondra put on each letter? 32 / 4 = 8 The swimming club went to a swim meet in another town. They took 12 cars and 14 vans. There were 5 people in each car and 5 people in each van. How many people went on the trip? 12              14 X5               x5 60               70 60 + 70 130 people Bob has 240 lollies to share with some friends. How many friends can he share the lollies with fairly? Winnie has 550 lollies to share between 5 people. How many lollies do they each get?

matariki

Matariki is a name maori for the cluster of stars also known as the pleiades. It rises in mid-winter late may or early june. For the maori it heralds the stars of a new year matariki literally means the eye of god or little eye. Matariki has two meanings both of which refer to the cluster of stars. important time to celebrate the earth and show respect for the land on which we live. It could become a family tradition to do the gardening altogether.

And the mother is also surrounded by her son daughter and there are not just seven stars there are 200 hundred stars. I feel quite sad for does who had pass away and it is gonna be maori new year.
