This week we have been learning about Diwali. We learnt this because last week because it was Diwali. For this task we had to make a Rangoli that we copied off a video but we got to chose the colours that we got to do. Do you know what a Rangoli is? I enjoyed doing this task because we got to learn how to make Rangoli. I found it tricky to copy the drawing off the video. Next time I would change the colours and mabey do my own pattern.
This week we have been learning about our picked saint and my saint that I picked is Saint Thomas Aquinas. We learnt this for our Religious Education this week. I enjoyed drawing my saint and writing the prayer. I found it tricky to draw my saint but I still loved drawing it. Next time I would do pencil before I coloured the picture in so it would be a bit neater. What is your favourite saint? These are the photos that I took of my work.
For this task we had to make a service poster on canva. We have just recently learnt how to make pictures and words animated. I enjoyed learning how to animate on canva. Next time I would change my them to something else. I found it tricky to click on the picture because there were pictures over top of them. Do you know how to animate on canva! I hope you like my service poster. We found out that it was better to add it as a gif. Service can come in in different forms but it is most commonly physically. Like someone taking something for someone.
This week we have been learning about faith. I enjoyed learning about faith because there is lots to learn about faith and it is really interesting. I found it tricky to get reasons to what faith means to me. Do you know what faith is? Next time I would probably change the bits of information about faith. I found it tricky to to find my own reasons about faith. Next time I would change the background and I would add some more pictures or different ones.
This week for writing we have been doing our speeches. We did speeches because it was the time of the term that we had to do speeches. We had to write our speeches and then we had to present them to the school because it was the speech semi finals. I liked writing this task because my topic was trees and trees are a really cool topic. Did you like my post about mister wolf guilty? Next time This is my story below. I hope you like it.
Every second, somewhere in the world a soccer field amount of trees is cut down. I strongly believe that people should stop cutting down trees. I will tell you where air comes from and why trees are important for this. They give us fruit and tyres for our cars. Leaves on trees can change colour. Listen up and I will convince you that we have to save the trees and save our environment!
Firstly, I strongly believe that people should stop cutting down trees because trees provide us with oxygen so that we can live. They take the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and that is made by cars and factories, and trees turn it into oxygen. In other words, trees breathe in carbon dioxide, and breathe out oxygen. The opposite of what humans do. This process is called photosynthesis. If we keep cutting trees down, we will eventually have only a little bit of oxygen left and too much carbon dioxide, which is bad for us and the environment. I think people should stop cutting trees down. Don’t you?
Secondly, trees can provide fruit and I think that fruit trees are very important for us. Do you like fruit? Trees provide apples, oranges, bananas, coconuts and apricots. All of these come from trees. If we cut down all of the fruit trees we won’t have any healthy food for us. Can you imagine the world with no fruit? That would be terrible. Because fruit trees are trees, they can also provide oxygen for us. That makes them important for the world in two different ways. So we have to look after our trees for two reasons.
Thirdly, I think that trees are beautiful and very cool? Do you? Well I do and I want to convince you to think that they're cool. Because they are. In autumn their leaves can change from green to orange to yellow to red and lots of different colours. Trees can only change colour in autumn and winter. Trees that change colour are called deciduous trees. The changing colour is the leaves dying and the tree starting to hibernate for the winter. Some trees never change colours. They just stay green. These trees are called evergreen trees and I guess you know what that means. Trees can start to bloom in spring and if you haven’t seen a blossom tree I highly recommend you look out for it at the moment. I think this is an amazing example of God’s beautiful creation.
In this piece of writing I have stated where air comes from, that they can give us fruit and how trees are cool in autumn. Now look out there at our beautiful trees. Do you still want to cut trees down? I don’t, and I hope I have convinced you not to cut trees down.
We were learning how to make and support inferences. We have been learning about bees because we did a science experiment about how bees pollinate. We had to recreate our science experiment by writing in the steps that we did the experiment in. I enjoyed rewriting the steps of the experiment. I found it challenging to remember the steps that we did it in. What do you know about Bees?
We made Robots for our reading task this week. We had to make a set of slides and draw a picture of our own Robot. We found a problem and we made the Robot to help the problem. We were learning how to find information in a text. We learnt this because we were learning about Robots from the olden days and how they could only act and not think and sense. I enjoyed learning about Robots? Do you like Robots? I found it tricky to find the shapes to make my digital Robot. I think Robots are cool and want to learn more.
This week we have been learning about Bees. At the start of the week we did a science experiment about how Bees pollinate so that is why we did this reading task on Bees. Next time i would try and see if i could match different ones up. I found it challenging to find the information that matched. Do you know any facts about Bees? I enjoyed learning about Bees this week because i think they are really cool and there is a lot to learn about them that you wouldn't think that they have. They have five eyes the other three sense light. Bees have a jagged edge on there stinger but the Queen Bee has a smooth edge so she can sting and sting and sting as much as she likes. Do you think that Bees are cool? I do and there is always something new to learn about them. They are like a mini science lad. Click here to read A Sweet Business.
For science we were going to make a water rocket but the rocket was actually a drink bottle. I think that you have to pump up the rocket until you think it is fill enough and then you pull a lever attached to a string and it will let the rocket go. I think this is going to happen because me and my friends had a look at it and we predicted that it was powered by water. We also saw that there was a lever that said pull to release and when you pull the lever it will unlock and launch. I think it will about five meters high but it depends how much water and air is in the rocket. Click this link to see the video. My story is right bellow.
Do you know what a Aquapod is? An Aquapod is a launch pad that launches the water rocket and it is orange and black and has three legs that holds it up. We wanted the Aquapod to fly so we made it do that. First of all you had to fill the bottle with water a third of the way and leave the rest of the bottle empty but only for know because it is going to fill up with something different soon.
To get the water rocket onto the Aquapod you had to turn the Aquapod upside down and connect the rocket to the white valve and the valve seals the bottle so that the water can't escape. The valve seals the water in the bottle because it has a rubber bit.Then we turned the Aquapod up the right way and the bottle upside down.
To make the rocket fly you had to connect the pump to the other valve which was at the back of the Aquapod. You had to pump the the rocket up with eight to twelve pump's from the pump. The valve didn't have a rubber bit on it because it was a screw valve so you had to screw it on.
To pump the bottle up we had to put the pump on the ground and start pumping. To pump up the bottle you had to get someone and you had to put your foot on the pump and push down wich made the air go into the bottle and it made air pressure. In another way of explaining it all of the oxygen particles get really close and start vibrating and when there is to many oxygen particles in it and it will shoot up.
When the bottle is ready to launch you have to go five meters away. To launch the rocket there was a special string that you have to pull, the string pulled a lever down wich released something and it made the rocket launch.
When the rocket launched the water was trying to go up but it was down and spraying out the bottom. The air was in the top of the bottle and the pressure was making the bottle go up. It was also the force of the bottle that made it go up so it was both of them making it go up.
