Maths
L.I to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect on wingspan and area on lift
We learnt how to make graphs to study how far each plane travels. We had 10 variations of planes to test, which ranged from a 2 cm wingspan to a 20 cm wingspan. The plane that traveled the shortest distance was the 2 cm plane, the plane that traveled the furthest distance was the 18 cm plane.
Our interpretation is that the bigger the wingspan the further the plane goes but when it reaches a certain limit the plane will not go as far as the others. I think one of our mistakes was that some of the planes were thrown harder than others for example the 18 cm plane and the 14 cm plane.

Reading
L. I to build knowledge on vocabulary, and how it links to the wider world
We did two tasks. The first task we did was take one world and build our understanding on it, we had to write down the functions, associations, similarities&differences and multiple meanings. For the second task, we took a line from one rap lyric or poetic voice and make a quiz. In the quiz we had to choose one of the two choices. Here is one of the lines that we put in our quiz, No matter how hard it gets, Stick your chest out, Keep your head up and handle it.
Maths
L.I to revise your maths skills
We revised our math knowledge doing a quiz on our math books. The things we did were adding and subtracting time, decimals, multiplication (times tables), division (grouping/sharing), calculating area and perimeter, fractions (identifying fraction, fractions of sets) Some of the strategies we used were basic facts, tidy numbers, place value, repeated addition, rounding& compensating, written algorithm and reversing. Reversing is for example when you take a subtraction problem like 35-23=? and turn it in to an addition problem like 23+? =35 which is 12.

Swimming
L.I to learn water safety
This was out last week for swimming. For this lesson we wore life jackets because we were in deeper water than usual. In this lesson we learnt about how to stay afloat when you are stranded and also how to preserve heat. The first thing we did in groups of roughly five or six, we held on to the other person's life jacket and floated on our back.
The second thing we learnt was the HELP procedure, HELP stands for heat escape lessening position. In this procedure we had to bring our knees up to chest level and leave it there to preserve heat. Lastly we learnt the pencil dive. First we have to put one hand across and hold that side of the life jacket. After that we had to put the other hand behind our head and then we took a big step and jump. I like going to swimming because we get to learn different techniques and it also teaches us how to be safe.

Rube Goldberg machine
LI: to make a Rube Goldberg Machine.
We made a Rube Goldberg Machine that includes all of the six simple machines. We had to choose one of three things that the Rube Goldberg machine has to accomplish. The things that we had to choose from were rolling dice out of a cup, putting a ball into a cup and to turn a chrome book on. The thing that we chose was to roll the dice out a cup.
Our first plan was having an incline plain and a marble hit dominoes, but that plan didn't work because the dominoes kept falling back so we made another plan. Our final plan was first hitting the books with a bat hitting a backwards wedge down an incline plane to hit a person and that person cut's the string that is attached to a felt tip pen. The felt tip pen dropped and hit another person. He will then push another person and that other person will lift a chair from the back to make a car roll down an incline plane to hit the cup and roll the dice inside.
Making the machine was a challenge because we had to figure out what we would make our simple machine out of. I would have changed the string part because it did not cut and I would have also changed the toy car to something else because it got stuck in the tunnel.
