Patten Ball P.E.

We are learning to communicate and work as a team.

How we worked out the pattern: I started with the pink ball we needed to chest pass. Mya started with the blue ball we needed to bounce pass. Kylah started with the rugby ball we needed to rugby pass.

To communicate we had to call names and use eye contact.

I found it easy to throw the balls and communicate.

I found it tricky to catch the rugby ball.

The video is too big to put on our blog so use this link!

Ahmet's Journey

For Writing we are learning to use visual language to make our meaning clear and to hook the reader in. We had to use maps, text boxes, speech bubbles and pitchers.

Gravity why does gravity pull you to the ground

Gravity

gravity why does gravity pull you to the ground gravity why does gravity pull you to the ground

Gravity is invisible glue.

so if you jump why do we fall back on the ground

And not into space? Well genius man discovered gravity was a force that pulls objects to the ground and us.

If you  throw something, that thing is coming down

Boinks.

when you squish your boink  and let it go it goes into the trees then hits the ground.

when you let it go it can go higher than a T.V.

Dropper Poppers.

when you push it down with your thumb and let it go, it goes up and comes back down.

No matter where you throw something it’s going down

The skin is like God. He protects us like skin protects the apple.

The seeds are like the holy spirit planting the fruiting the holy spirit.

The flesh is like Jesus. He narishes us.
