How to Tell Analogue Time

      Analogue Time

Have you ever wondered how to tell analogue time? Analogue time has 12 numbers there are 24 hours in a day. The 24 hours are halved in 2 periods of time. Am and pm remind you what time of the day it is.

There are also hands on an analogue clock, there are two hands, the big hand and the small hand, the big hand tells minutes and the small hand tells hours. The easy thing to remember about analogue time is that it is divided into 4 quarters. 12, 3, 6 and 9. The hour hand will go around the clock for 60 minutes until the next hour.

Now you should understand most things you need to know. All that is left is to teach you how to read the clock. When the small small hand is on the 5 and the long hand is on the 1, the time would be 5:05. And if the short hand was on the 6 and the long hand was on the 4, the time would be 6:20.

Now I hope you have learnt how to tell analog time, it is not too difficult to tell analog time and it is not too simple to learn it, analog time can make miracles happen, it can save you from being late on a special occasion and avoid you from many problems.

Today we have wroten a explanation about how to tell analogue time. When the small hand is on the 5 and the long hand is on the 1, the time would be 5:05. And if the short hand was on the 6 and the long hand was on the 4, the time would be 6:20.

  

HIIT - Week 5

This week for HIIT ( High Interval Intense Training ) Our exercises today was to do push ups, squats, tap steps and star jumps but doing them tabata timing ( Picking up the speed ) We showed resilience and commitment while we had no music to listen to.

Sky Tower Visit

Today LS2, LS1 and room 5 visited the sky tower to learn about its features. Our class was split into two groups, and both groups got the chance to walk around the Sky Tower. Each groups went to three stations, the theater, the observation deck and the emergency room. Each room was apart of the sky tower and had lots of details to them. We watched several clips of the Sky Tower history, and what places you could visit. Some interesting facts I found about of the Sky Tower is that, the Sky Tower is 338 meters tall, It weighs the same amount as 6000 elephants. We would like to thank Douglas Bates for donating the money to make this happen.

Why Sleep Is So Important

Through the previous weeks my reading group worked collaboratively together to create a DLO about Sleep. Today my group presented our sleep DLO to everyone.The type of reading we used to create our DLO was reciprocal reading.We also used a strategy called inferring. Inferring means reading between lines and combining clues from a particular text and using our prior knowledge to get an idea. We all used our great researching skills to find interesting information and facts about sleep. At the end we summarized our DLO.

Scale Drawing

Last week we have been doing scale drawings. First you would need to find a photo that you would want to draw. Then you would want to draw your grid over your photo you have chosen, each box would be 1 cm square. You would then get your enlargement paper you would have to draw the grid two times bigger than you last one. The best strategy for drawing your picture would be drawing row by row. What I found hard was drawing the grid for the enlargement paper.

Kiwi Can

Today for kiwican, we focused on a new topic and it was Problem Solving. First we played our engiser  which was called rock,paper,scissors. All we had to was to pick a partner and when you lost you go on your knees and verse somebody else that is on their knees. We then talked about what is problem solving and some examples of it. Our activity was to get peopl on the other side of the rope without touching the rope, or going under the rope.
