Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALS

1. Straws (x4) 
2. Cups (x4)  
3. Pin  
4. pencil  
5. tape  

STEPS

1. you need to stick the straws.  
2. you need to put the straw in the cup.
3. you need to tape the straw and the cups together.
4. put the pencil in the medial of the straws.
5. put the pin in the medial of the straw and the pencil. 
6. put them outside and try if it's going to work but you need some wind so it will work.

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need: all your materials

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10 second	7 spins
2.	10 second	6 spins
3.	10 second	6 spins
4.	10 second	5 spins

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind?

CONCLUSION:

Fantastic Mr Fox

Create a blog post that shares your ideas on the following questions. Think about what we discussed as a group. 

1. What are we doing this term for Reading?where reading fantastic Mr Fox.
2. By only looking at the cover, what can we infer or guess about the story?it was fun to read because of fantastic Mr Fox.
3. After reading the back cover, what do you think the story is about?it's about get some food for his family. Make a prediction on what will happen. 
4. Using your prior knowledge, why do you think I have selected this book for us to read?so we know the story about fantastic Mr Fox.

kamusta in today blog post I'm going to show you what I did in Hurumanu and I hope you like it.

One sunny morning, there was a bully guy named Jack.  Jack is the bully and Max is being bullied by him. One day Max sat in the front of Jack and Jack started to throw paper to Max. After they finished doing there work, the bell ring and they go outside to play, but Jack kept on bullying Max, but Max just ignoring Jack. When the morning tea was finished, they went back to class and they lined up.

 Jack yells at Max and they started yelling to each other. When they are inside the class room Max sat at  front of Jack. Jack started to throw things on Max but Max just kept on ignoring him. The next day, Max and Jack were lining up, when the teacher told them to go inside the classroom, Max sat at the front of Jack again and Jack start bulling Max but he just ignore him again. 

The teacher saw Jack flicking Max ears and but the teacher ignore it. When bell rang for interval, the teacher called Jack and teacher talked to him about bullying Max. His teacher said if I saw bullying him again I would call your parents. Jack was really afraid to get told off so after that day he really change. He was really kind now. Jack talked to Max about what he did to him, Jack said “I’m so sorry to all I’ve done to you and I won’t do it again.”

I did letter of appreciation to teachers and staff with this I make them happy I made also poster about pink shirt day this is about awareness on bullying. This poster makes the student think that bullying is not good. We discussed about needs vs wants and I'm going to share what I want I want to learn more and the one that I need to I need to read more to work hard because working hard makes you smart. We also have activity about drawing in preparation for colouring competition to be given to the primary students to make their school holiday fun.There were also some groups who made a letter for the prizes.

I enjoyed making some drawings for this project.I hope there will be more activities next term.
