  Fun fact about wheel and axle is that the wheels generally spin in a balanced circle around an axle. Wheel and axel is used to move heavy objects from a place to a another place.

Unlike a nail, a screw has spiral grooves down its spike. A screw is pressed down against wood and turned with a screwdriver. The grooves cut into the wood. Screws is to hold luquid into a crate so not luquid would spill.

A pulley makes moving heavy loads a lot easier. A single pulley simply changes the direction of an object. Pulley is moving a heavy object from a low place to a high place.

Balance

 Today we did a about balancing but with sports equipment.

First we had to pass the rugby ball from our hip and we had to go one side with one leg. I started on the rugby ball. It was hard because we had to balance on one leg. It was hard because I had to pass from the side of my boday.

Second we had to do a balancing activitiy with hockey gear. We could not use the hocky stick to balance so it was a little bit harder. I like this activitiey because it was challenging and fun at the same time.

Third we had too use a friseby .Out of all of then the friseby was the hardest activitiy because it was difficult to catch and get a good throw.

Fourth we did an activitiy on the netballs out of all of them the netball was the easiest to throw and catch.

This was the most fun activitiy out of them all.

 

Cuse and effect

Today we learnt about cause and effect.

First we tried to figure out the cause and the effect.

Then we learnt about cause and effect.

Then we completed a task about cause and effect.

Time

Today I learnt how to tell the time difference.

First the time was 4:05 then I added 4 hours then the time was 8:05.

Then I added 35 minutes onto the 8:05 then the time was 8:40.

I liked that this activity because it helped me understand the time.
