Tangrams

Today I learned how to make a tangram.

 I re arranged the pieces to make a animal shapes.

First I made a square piece of paper because tangrams are made from a big square.

Then I folded the square into various and cut them out. 

Lastely, I tried to copy the animals off the T.V using the tangrams pieces. 

Multiplications

Multiplication is an easy way to count a lot of the same number. Multiplication is like doubling groups or skip counting. For example 5+5+5+5=20 is the a lot of the same numbers an easy way of counting this number is multiplication: 4x5=20. Another example is 2+2+2+2= 8, which is 4x2=8.

L.I to learn the times table.

Measurement & Volume

The stranded measurement of volume and capacity is millilitres and litres. Volume means how much space it has and capacity means how much liquid it has in it. 

LI: To expand standard forms of length.

Marsking Art

This week I learnt how to do geometric masking art. Masking means hiding things. Geometric means simple shapes.

First we used making tape to make sections on the paper. Then we used the tape to mask places we didn't want to colour in.

Then I made to sections with the tape. Those sections made shapes. We made big sections first the made little sections in the big sections.

Then after that I started  colouring with pastels. Before we stared to colour we had to make sure the pastels were clean. I made the art look good by colouring it in one direction I lifted it up and down across.

Then after all of that I ripped  the tape off carefully so that my paper didn't rip. Here is a photo of my art.

Light and Sound Vocabulary

This week for inquiry we learnt about light and sound vocabulary.

For the first activity we did was light and sound vocabulary we had to match words from a list with the definitions. We could use a dictionary to help us.

For the Find, Draw, Animate and Act activity we had to choose a word that includes light and sound. The word I choose was transparent and I took a photo of my hand outside the glass window.

We worked in groups and each of us had one word. We used animation slides to do this. there was four people in the group. Our words were vibration, transparent, echo, wavelength.

Verbs

For Writing we learnt about verbs there are three verbs mental verbs, state of being , and physical verbs. 

Mental verbs are thinking verbs for example, think, picture, dream, and imagine.

State of being verbs are verbs that identify who or what a noun is for example words like, will, is, was, am, are, were. Physical verbs are action words like, walk, run, swim, shout, and lots more.

We played a game called verb hunt we wrote  down words for all three kinds of verbs.

Properties of Sound

One of the properties of sound is that it can travel in every direction when sound travels it dissipates (it gets weaker).

I know this cause when Mr Wong clapped on one side of the class room the meter on the other side of the classroom didn't move. if your far away from the sound you can't really hear it but if your close to the sound then you can hear it. Another properties of sound is that sound can travel around corner.

L.I  To observes the properties of sound 

Properties of Sound

PROPERTY: a characteristic that something is known by. For example, a property of ripe strawberries is that their colour is red.

OBSERVE: to watch and remember what happened.

EXPERIMENT: to observe what happens to something when different conditions are imposed on it.

CONDITION: a state of being.

IMPOSE: to make someone or something do something.

HYPOTHESIS: a prediction or evidence based guess that can be tested to find the truth.

What properties of sound can you figure out? There will be a bunch you can figure out by just experimenting with sound. Watch the video to find out how to do the experiment.

Fill out this table with your observations and hypotheses about the properties of sound.

You will need to use a sound meter like this free online meter by Youlean.

Observation I think...	Evidence	Hypothesis ✅ ❎
Sound is louder when it’s closer to the source and quiet when the sound it’s  far away from the source	When Mr Wong bounced the ball far away from the  Source the meter was low. and when he bounced the ball near the meter	When sound travels it gets softer or weaker
	The meter recorded the same sound on the top,bottom,and the sides but it was basically the same number.	Sound can travel around corners
