Building with LEGO

On Thursday someone came to our school and she gave us challenges for us to do with LEGO! The first challenge we had to build a bridge strong enough to hold some book's and a pencil case. Next we had to make a really tall tower but our one wasn't that stable and strong but we managed to rebuild the tower. The last one was a car race I gave my car wooden wheels two crystals a pod and a tail piece it went really far. My Favourite challenge was the car race and I really liked doing it.

What do you like making with Lego?

My maths board

In term 2 our teachers made us start creating maths boards. We use these for maths problems this term too.  I have done one recently. It was 15 + 6. The first slides has pikachu and mega Charzard x on it and it has 8 slides.

I like doing maths boards because you can write your own word problems and I can write about things that I like. I also like doing the questions because they are good maths problems because they are questions that I have not done before. 

PBL Term 3

This term we have been looking at ways to innovate to improve our lives. The first thing we did was to Make a boat out of tinfoil,plastic cups,and duct tape. we called our boat the chugger and we got 38 marbles in the boat before it sunk. on Friday we had to make a plane and our team was called the oofers because our plane would keep on crashing and our plane stayed in the air for 2 seconds.

What would you do to improve your life?

Renewable energy

This term in reading, we have been reading about the environment. I have enjoyed reading about Renewable Energy. Renewable Energy is energy that will never fun out.

These are some of the different renewable energies that I learnt about.

* Biomass - this is fuel from plants.

* Solar energy - this is energy from the sun and you can get solar panels at your house.

* Hydropower  - made from water spinning around and this makes energy.

* Geothermal - energy from under the ground.

This links to our PBL questions because these don't make greenhouse gases and it is renewable and they don't make smoke like coal or fire.

I now understand that these energy sources are beater for the planet.

Question:  type of these 5 wood you use?

Rubbish Tour Builder

Rubbish Tour Builder

This term we are trying to find ways to stop pollution. So this link will take you to my tour builder to the most polluted places in the world. It also has a glacier in New Zealand that is melting because of climate change. A glacier is a frozen river. I feel very bad for the places on the tour and I think they should find better ways to deal with their problems. The rubbish patch makes me feel a bit angry because I love the ocean. We should recycle the plastic and stop using single use plastic because that's another problem for our environment.

What would you do to save our world of these problems?

The Environment

This term we have been learning about problems in our environment. Some of these problems are pollution, global warming, trees being cut down, too much greenhouse gases and floods.
This term we will be looking at ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle. We have had 2 parents in to talk to us about ways they are protecting the environment. The first speaker was Charlies mum who made stainless steel cups and straws and other items that can be reused. The second parent worked at Horncastle arena and they ditched single use cups and now use different sorts of cups.
I went home and spoke to my mum and we discussed how we look after the environment at home. Some things we do are recycle, Solar energy, we try not to buy plastic and dad bikes to work. Mum said we should do more!!
What do you do to look after the environment?

Cross Country

On Thursday we went to Walter park to do cross country we had to run two laps. We had to wait on a tarpaulin it took a very long time before our run. And then it was time for my run. At the start I was already tired and I stopped a couple of times but I was still going. And people from my school were cheering us on and I sprinted to the finish line I don't know what place I got but the cross country was really fun.

How far would you run and how many laps would you do?
