Bridge Labeling

Today for inquiry we made our own version of the Panmure bridge on a google drawing. We labeled all of the different parts of the bridge and that are used to build the bridge. There are 4 different parts to the bridge that is the bridge deck so people and cars can go across the iron swing opens so the boats can get to the other side, abutment is to hold the iron swing and the piles holds the bridge deck and prevents it from collapsing. 

Ven Diagram

This term for inquiry w have been learning about structures. We have learnt about bridges, tunnels and towers. So we have decided to compare all three structures and put it into a ven diagram. We used three circles instead of two.

Reflexes

For inquiry we have been learning about the difference between girl reflexes and boy reflexes. So we tried an activity that would test our reflexes. We would line a ruler up with our index finger, we dropped the ruler without saying anything and tried to catch it. If you caught it you would have to measure it from your index finger, if you did not catch it you would give yourself a 0.

Making Connections - When The Wind Blows

Making Connections

L.I. Identify connections text to text, text to world and text to self

Text to text	Text to world	Text to self
Something I have read or watched that is like this is...	Something I know about that is like this is...	My reaction to this story is...
Something that I have read like this story is the Charge of the Light Brigade	North Korea and USA are getting nuclear weapons especially nuclear bombs.	Amazing and also kind of sad at the same time when they died. I think that they both think alike but at different times there attitude changes. Like when they got warned they were going to get bombed the wife was calm and Jim was concern.

Today me and Fatongia have completed our DLO on when the wind blows. We had to link something from the world that happened in the story. Then we had to find another book that is slimmer to this book also our reaction or how we felt.
