Solid, Liquid, Gas Matters | Tech

Today was our last tech rotation in science, so this time we learned about Solids, Liquids and Gases.

A solid is a sample of matter that retains its shape and density, Liquids are taking on the shape of the container but not changing in volume.  And finally, Gases, When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed.

after we did all of this we played Kahoot, I got 2nd place.

Ancient Olympic Games Presentation

LI: To skim and scan to find facts about the Ancient Olympics and make notes in my own words.

We used our reading time this week to find out about the Ancient Greek Olympics. Once we had made our notes and reorganised our information we collaboratively created a presentation.

I found out that women would be thrown off of Mt. Olympus, as a consequence of sneaking into a game where the men play naked.

I enjoyed this informative opportunity because of how interesting it was to find out what was and wasn't allowed during the Ancient Greek Olympics

Hauora

LI: To draw and label your own Hauora diagram

In order to be able to perform at their best athletes need to have a four walls of the whare tapawha standing.

We created this poster to show what each wall represents and why it is important.

I found out that an athlete could be better than they could be, whilst making themselves more stable if they ever lose

I enjoyed making the poster Because I could see that if all these athletes had these 4 walls they could make themselves better than they already are.

Heart & Pulse Pressure

Our task was to see what activities would cause high and low blood pressure.

The activities we did were:

- Running as Fast as Possible on the Spot

The activity that had the lowest blood / heart pressure was Sitting and doing Star Jumps. The highest blood pressure / heart pressure was the Jogging on the spot and Throwing and Catching Balls.

Hauora

 

Athletes who win make sure they know how to also lose in a proper manner, it’s normal for people to cry when they win or lose. 

Tears of happiness and gratitude for the winners and tears of sorrow and disappointment for those who have taken a step back.

It is important to enjoy and celebrate the success you earn, embrace the goals you have achieved and the goals that you have set for yourself.  Motivating yourself makes you believe that you can do anything that you put your mind to.

Thinking Grid | Water Safety

LI: To Learn about Water Safety

Water safety is an important lesson that all schools should teach evrry single student.

    

The first water safety activity is called the “Thinking Grid”, the thinking grid allows you to ask yourself questions about swimming and also ask's you questions .

Some of the questions are; What do you Know about Water Safety? & How Might You Get Into Trouble in the Water?

PBS is thinking about water safety because of how many NZ People drown every year without knowing anything about how to get into the water & how to swim. Which is the most important lesson to learn when wanting to swim.

Mindfulness Reflection

LI: to learn about Mindfulness

Mindfulness is about calming your body and mind, focusing on the present and leaving any negativity behind.  Being able to have a positive mindset.  For this new programme we were learning about how to be mindful, and how to rest our mind.  This programme helped us meditate and learn how to get into a positive mindset rather being in a negative place in our mind. 

When meditating we focused on our posture and our breathing, which helped us relax and chill.  Doing this helped us focused on the present and kept our minds in the present rather than losing concentration, to the cause of mind wandering.
