Badminton Writing Week 4

On Thursdays class 3 went to badminton for kiwi sports. When we walked in the hall we glanced at our tutor. His name was Robbie. He introduced himself as we listened quietly. When Robbie finished he taught us some badminton tips and one of them was backhand grip. There were also a few rules. The rules were-No hitting each other with the racket, No fighting with it and Don’t play the racket like a guitar.

For our warm ups we sometimes play stuck in the mud,line tag or even just tiggy. It was exciting. As Robbie blew the whistle we sat back down in front of him. It was time to practise hitting the badminton shuttle. It wasn't that easy. I tried to get as many as I could. We had time for a little game so we battled against each other.

Science Road Show Recount

Last week Thursday 22nd may, we attended on a trip to the Science Road Show at Tamaki College. We went with two other classrooms because there were too many intermediate classes so the other two classes stayed at school until it was Friday. At the Science Road Show we discovered many experiments with balloons and many other science experiments. We participated in all of the science experiments(answering questions).

We learnt about our bodies and how they work. We also learnt a few gas experiments and it was called, Carbon Dioxide, Methane,Nitrogen and Hydrogen. Then we walked around the auditorium and we glanced at many experiments. It was AMAZING. I went to the honey experiment and tried out all of honey. They tasted yum. It was time to go back to school so we packed up.

Echolocation Explanation Template

Echolocation is a remarkable process of communications that animals, such as bats,  Whales,Porpoises, Rats and also Dolphins. This unique process is also a transmission of sound waves to locate objects.

Echolocation is also the ability to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off the walls and reflecting it back to them. It also helps them avoid obstacles in their path as they fly around in the dark. Bats are a fascinating group of animals. They are one of a few mammals that can use sound to navigate in the dark using a technique called echolocation.

For example, echolocation is just like echoes in a large-empty room or at the edge of a canyon. Echoes are sounds caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface back to the listener. Or even a sound that has been duplicated after the original sound has stopped.

Sound Explanation

For inquiry this term, we are studying “sound”. This explanation will explain sound. Sound is a vibration that travels through the air, as sound waves and into a person’s or animal's ear. For example, when someone taps on a table it makes sound and that sound goes through a persons eardrum and then it is transferred by your brain. Then the human brain which then says : I’d recognize that sound!

For example, sound waves are like the tiny waves, or ripples, that people make on water after someone throws a stone or any object into the pond. Both ripples and sound waves start in one spot and then travels out in all directions. (The sound starts from our vocal cords which vibrates and goes through the bottom of a cup and vibrates through the string to another persons ear)

If there was no sound in our world and we've been muted, it would be boring. Visualize that if we can only use sign language to communicate with each other and we can never speak, it won’t be fun and enjoyable. That is why sound is very special to us.

Alphabet Addition

Each number in the alphabet equals a number, here is your key.

You need to add the numbers in the words together to find your answer.

A = 1

B = 2

C = 3

D = 4

E = 5

F = 6

G = 7

H = 8

I = 9

J = 10

K = 11

L = 12

M = 13

N = 14

O = 15

P = 16

Q = 17

R = 18

S = 19

T = 20

U = 21

V = 22

W = 23

X = 24

Y = 25

Z = 26

Vibration - 22 + 9 + 2 + 18 + 1 + 20 + I +  15 + 14 = 102

Sound: What Can I Hear

Sound: What can I hear?

Team 5’s Inquiry focus this term is about Physics and the Science of ‘Sound’.

This week you are going to write an explanation about the different types of sounds that you can hear in your environment.

Think about the sounds that surround you - at home, at school, outside.

What types of sounds can you hear? Where do they come from? Use the table to help you organise your ideas:

	Home	School	Outside	Other
What types of sounds can you hear?	Phone ringing A little song rings	People talking It’s like a group of gorillas chatting	Wind Blowing The sound of talking people	Cars whizzing A rumbling sound of car engines
Which sounds do you like listening to? Why?	The Toilet Flush Water smashing in the inside, like crashing waves.	Door Slammin & making squeaky sounds	Beach Gusts of the water came crashing towards the shore	Boats Grey air coming out of a cylinder tube and a loud engine
What sounds are annoying? Why?	Crying Baby Squeaky voices & high pitched sound	Birds Flapping sounds and chirping voice	Banging Hard slams and cupboard doors falling	Television Buzzing and loud sounds

Finally, think about what your world would be like if you didn't have sound. What would it be like if you couldn’t hear a single thing, or if you had to live in absolute silence? What do you think it would be like?

If the world was silent, it would not be so fun without sound and we cannot communicate with each other that well.

1. Make a list of the events where the conch shell is blown.

A. Fiafia

B. Ceremonies

C. Sporting Events

D. Weddings

E. (Other Special Occasions & Evening Prayer Time )

2. Why did Iakina bury the conch shell in the sand?

So that the ants and other insects can remove any traces of rotten flesh.

UNDERSTANDING - Show that you understand the information

3. Choose 5 words from the article that are new, difficult or interesting to you.

Write down a dictionary definition for each word and then use each word in a sentence to

show you understand the meaning.

Design some other uses for conch shells both in the Pacific islands and here in New Zealand.

Use drawings and labels to explain your interesting ideas.

EVALUATING - Seeing both sides

“People should be allowed to use the conch shells for other things”

Make a chart and list your reasons for agreeing and disagreeing with this statement.

I agree with this statement because……..

A conch shell is well known from the pacific islands, and it is used for many equations. Most people hasn’t touched or blown a conch shell before and they might like to try it out.

I disagree with this statement because……..

I don’t disagree because the conch shell can be useful to others that might need a conch shell for some special celebrations.

A well written article should use some sort of hook to grab the reader’s attention, it should be

written in an interesting way, it should be well organised so that the reader knows where the

article is going, and it should wrap-up what has been said at the end.

Do you think this article was well written? Yes
