Making Paper

This week we read about how school students made paper from paper that were already used.

I have learnt  that paper takes time to make,But it’s  pretty easy to do. I think it takes 1 hour or 30 minutes to make paper.There are lots of items to make a perfect paper. My reading group

will be making paper too.This is all I know about making paper and I hope you enjoyed.

SPACECRAFT

MOANA: Spacecraft by Jack Lasenby

W.A.L.T.1. select information from the text

             2. Make inferences

1. List the things the writer used  when he went into space. They used a parachute, Nails , a leftover rocket from Guy fawkes ,cardboard and sellotape.

    B. Locate Italy on the world map.

    C.Is this a fiction or nonfiction  story? Nonfiction

    D. What do these words mean  “I’ll fix you”?It means he will make it better. He might  punish him.

  Making inference:

1. How did the writer’s friend convince him to take him along?Because his friend was going to tell that he bent the clothes line.
2. What does weasel mean? A small mammal with short legs and extended body and neck.

3. Did the writer manage to get rid of his friend? Give a reason for your answer.he got rid of his friend  It means that he’s going to take him away.
4. CREATE: Your own story of how you made a spacecraft to go into space. Include a picture for your blog.

If I was building a spacecraft I would bring fireworks,a thousand Balloons, 20 metal card board , About 10 jump starts and a parachute so when I decide to jump off I would use it so I won’t crack my head or my face when I fall.

STATES OF MATER

On Tuesday the 1st of august myself and my class students jumped all the way to room 8 to learn about the 3 states of matter and they are solid, liquid and gas.  

First it’s Solid.Solid is something that is very hard and its particles never moves it just stays altogether as a group.

Next it’s liquid.Liquid is something that is very slurpy and slushy.Liquids particles move a little bit but it still does not leave it spot.

Finally

its gas.you might think gas is like petrol but it isn't.Gas spreads everywhere like oxygen or fart. Gas is also a type of thing that spreads everywhere.

INSULATION

On Wednesday the 26th of July room 9 students went to room 7 to learn about Insulation.I learned about all 3 things that you can  use to Insulate your own house.The things you can use to insulate your house are wool,fibreglass and polyester. I also learned about a little baby boy that had a bad insulated house.His name was Ioane.He was only three months old and he went to the hospital 7 times.His house had lots and lots of yucky damps sticking on their  window. Their  floor was kind of wet and their house was very,very,very COLD.

FRACTIONS

Emal cut his apple into 8 equal pieces.

Emal ate ⅜ of his apple.

His friend Matt ate 2/8.

Between them they have eaten 3/8+2/8=5/8

Try adding these fractions.

(Draw yourself some pictures if you need to.)

1.2/4+1/4=3/4                    2.2/5+2/5=4/5

3.6/10+2/10=8/10              4.3/8+4/8=7/8

5.7/12+4/12=11/12            6.3/6+2/6=5/6

7.7/12+4/7=6/5                  8.3/9+3/9=6/9

9.5/8+3/8=8/8                    10.7/10+2/10=9/10

Try Subtracting these fractions.

(Draw yourself some picture if you need to.)

2.7/8-4/8=3/8                    3.5/5-4/5=1/5

4.5/6-2/6=3/6                    5.8/9-7/9=1/9

6.7/7-3/7=4/7                    7.10/12-4/12=6/12

8.9/10-5/10=4/10              9.3/4-1/4=2/4

10.6/11-2/11=4/11

          

A.What fraction of the fence has been painted green?2/3

B.What fraction is still to be painted?2/3
