How to write a conpound sentence

Compound sentence are two simple sentences mix together by F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.

The first step is to write a simple sentence.

Next put a fanboys in after the simple sentence.

Lastly you write another simple sentence.

This how to write a compound sentece.

Addition and Subtraction

Adittion and subtraction can be solved by using two stratefieas: counting on/back, rounding and compensating.

Counting on is adding forward using figure when the number is under ten. Counting back is subtracting usig fingers, when the number subtracded is under ten.

Rounding and compensating is rounding the added or subtracted number to the nearest tidy numbe, then compensating for the rounding. Compenstating is done by spitting the new number into the old number and the leftover.

Counting on/back and rounding and compenstating are easy strageis to use for addition and subtraction, when numbers et too big to be solved with basic facts.

How a trebuchet works

A trebuchet is a type of catapult that is mostly found in Germany. It was used to knock down castle walls to gain entry.

Here is an explantion of how they work.

Vocabalry

We looked at new word and learnt the meaning before reading the book A Sweet Business.

First, we looked at two word and learnt the meaning they are.

• rūma - Room

• hive - a place where bees live

Afterwards, we anwsered a range of question using the comments.

I thought this was hard because we didin't know much about bees.

Party Popper Prototype

My company Design Builders were making a prototype of a party popper.

First we thought of the parts that we were going to use for our prototype. Some of the parts were a plastic cup, thick rubber band, and a paper stopper.

Second Design Builders assembled the parts of the prototype. When we assembled the party popper it stayed together and thought about some backups if this party popper bracks. 

Finally Design Builders tested the party popper. We tested the rubber band, The strength of the cup, and the paper stopper.

I enjoyed the assembling the parts of the party popper.  

LI: to make a prototype for testing.

Heres is an explantion of how they work.

Māori Questions

I revised different questions in Maori.

Whaea Odie also gave us a quick recap of tenei, tera, and tena.

First, one of them is (Kei hea), (Kei hea) means where is.

Secondly, the other type of asking a question is (Ko wai) this mean who is.

Lastly, the last way to ask a question is (He aha tenei) this mean what is this.

I thought this was hard because I had to answer all the questions in Maori.

I read 16 pages of Knights.

The creater of this book is Christopher Gravett.

The book is about what kind of weapons they used against other opponice and also what kind of training they do to have a real battle against opponice. Then it’s was also about what type of armour there were.

My three words that I explaned in my own words are Medieval- medieval is when people are in there middle age. Decorated-decorated means a trim or a grace. Banquets-banquets mean a meal from other people.

Party Popper Design

We tested a design of a party popper and tried to change the design and make an improved version.

First, my group tried to figur out our parts for our party popper.

Secondly, we wrote the current design for the party popper.

Next, we updated our design so it could attract people to our market.

Lastly, I rational for the reason why we changed our design.

I thought this was hard because we didn't know what our feedback ment.  

Maori Senteces

We learnt about how Maori senteces work and where things are. 

First, I translated names of fruit into Maori.

Secondly, I took the main object for example an orange and turned it into a Maori sentece.

Lastly, I put the sentences togther and my results were (kei hea te panana ? - Kei roto i te pouaka makariri).

This was good because I learnt about some other objects and learnt where they are in Maori.

Summaris

Summaries are when people use to collect infomation about what you learnt.

There are two types of summaris you could do one repeat, repeat is copying your mechanisms you all ready written.

The other type of summari is that you could write about giving your opinion about the mechanisms.

Summaris are usefull because people use summarys to inform people of what you did.

    

Following Rules

I learnt about how to respect the rules around the class and the rules around the school.

First, I picked a rule then right about how to follow the rule. For example I have to follow the rule respect the things that you own.

Secendly, I brain stormed then worte about the reason why we follow the rules and what we could do to follow the rule.

Lastly, I took my brain storming then wrote how we could follow these rules.

I follow the rule. When people try and talk to me but I face away.

Balance Callange

First, we planned out what challenge we were doing. Our plan was to stand on one leg and swing our arms back and forth while holding the bottle.

Next, we tested out our challenge by avoiding our tipping point while making the bottles touch each other.

Lastly, we took a photo and recorded our results and we made our poster. 

I thought this was hard because it was challenging on figuring out what our plan was.

Prepostion in Teo Moari

I learnt the prepositons above - runga, below - raro, right - matau, left - maui, and waenganui - between.  

I also learnt how to say in front - mua and behind - muri

This was good because its teaching people how to say where things are in another language.        

 

Mechanisms cause and effect

I learnt what mechanisms about causes and effects.

Mechanisms are to write many sentences about one topic.

First, to practice mechanisms I watched a video about how popcorn pops.

After that, I wrote some mechanisms that are related to cause and effect.

For the cause example the pan or microwave heats the kernel, so the moisture inside the kernel turns into steam. 

For the effect example the steam of the popcorn is trapped, therefore the popcorn can burst out of the kernel.    

I wrote the evolution of popcorn is when steam is trapped inside the kernal. The hull in the kernal then bursts into popcorn.

I wrote the cause of it poping then I wrote the effect of why and how did it pop.
