L.I - To learn special water safety

This week for swimming we learnt special water safety. We had to move around in a circle called huddle and we also had to make a chain by lying on each others laps. When we did this we had to wear life jackets. Life jackets make you float so if you are swimming you wont go underneath the water. When we were doing the chain we needed to hold each others shoulders so we can stay still and so we can stick together.

Our task was to find the differences between New Zealand and Japan. Like how All Blacks have actually won a World Cup unlike Japan. We also had to find the similarities like how both countries have hosted the Rugby World Cup. The differences I wrote down was like the name of their rugby team, and the scenery in each place.

Places to visit in Japan

Places to visit in Japan: L.I: apply inquiry, literacy and numeracy skills to learn about the RWC. We are doing a Rugby World Cup Challenge. We had to use our reading, writing, and maths skills to complete the task. Our task was to pick five places in Japan we really wanted to visit. We had to add in facts and why we wanted to visit the place. The places we picked were Mt Fuji, Osaka, Tokyo, Sapporo, Kyoto. Mt Fuji is the tallest point in Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the city alone is 3 times bigger than New Zealand. Sapporo is the largest city on hokkaido island. Kyoto is the largest city in japan and Osaka was once the capital of Japan

Rube Goldberg

L.I to make a Rube Goldberg machine with the six simple machines.
For Inquiry we were challenged to build a similar machine as Rube Goldberg. A challenge was you
had to use one of the simple machines which are Incline Plane, Pulley, Screw, Wheel and Axle and a Lever.
My groups challenge was to try to turn on the
Chromebook. Our Machine had included, Levers, Incline Plane and a screw. We had also used parts
of our body to finish of the machine. Our machine was successfully working. The materials that we had
used were Cardboard(for Incline Plane), Domino's, Pan Balance, Marbles and books.
The biggest challenges we had to face was trying to get the materials to stay up still
and trying to figure out what's gonna happen next.
I think if we were to do this again I would've bought more materials and incorporated
more and included others ideas.

Our task was to write down three events that we think were really memorable and historical. The first one we did was the 1987 rugby world cup. I picked that because that was the first rugby world cup and the first winners were New Zealand or the All Blacks, the match was France vs All Blacks and the score was 29 - 9. The second was the 2011 rugby world cup because New Zealand won it again, plus the finals were France vs All Blacks again but this time France nearly won. The score was 7 - 8. The last one I picked was the 2015 world cup because New Zealand won it again. It was New Zealand vs Australia and the score was 34 - 17.

Rugby Positions

LI: apply inquiry, literacy and numeracy skills to learn about the RWC.
We were learning about the rugby positions. Our task was to match the player with the position. For example I had Richie Macaw and two positions. I would have to match it with one of the positions. But we had to add some things because it was a little bit basic. I had to research a little bit about the players, like their physical information like their weight and height. We also had to find out some facts like if they've made and or broken any records. We then had to find out the main function or the role of the position.

LS1 RWC Challenge

This week we are learning to gather information about the rugby world cup. These country have different times to Japan. Canada is so big that there is different time zones. This is the same for Australia and USA. We had to search times of different countries to see what times it will be joying the final.
