Archimedes' Principle

Archimedes' Principle - Class 10 from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.

Along time ago in Syracuse, Ancient Greece, there was a great mathematician named Archimedes. One day when he was taking a bath he discovered something life changing. When he got in, Some water displaced and it overflowed over the bath tub.

Archimedes’ discovery got him thinking. He was so excited that he ran threw the streets without any clothes on shouting EUREKA! EUREKA! This meant I have found it in Greek.

He figured out that if you put something in water and it is lighter than the amount of water being displaced, the object will float. This is known as buoyancy or the Archimedes Principle. So if an object can float, it is buoyant. By Yvonne.

Fiafia Fiafia Whooo! by Christian

What is Fiafia? Fiafia,  hmmmm that is a tricky question. Well,  I  will  tell  you all.

If you translate fiafia in to Samoan  or Tongan it will mean happy. In New Zealand it means to have a celebration of cultures and also happiness too.

Did you know that I think relating to others is the one key competencies that you need at fiafia? This is so the kids in my Samoan group can listen to me, so I can do my job as a captain.

The Key Competencies

The Five Skills (Key Competencies)

The key competencies. What does it mean to you? The key competencies are the sensible skills that we use to keep our brains going and learning other things.

Managing self is what I’m really successful at. For example in our class the students could be chatting and one person is sitting up and ready to learn for the day.Thinking is one of the other things that I’m really good at because when the teacher asks us a question we think about that question and use our brain to find data and give the ideas.

I am really good at lots of things, but I still need to improve some of my learning as well as  participating and contributing. I’m good at doing that but I need a bit more practice. What I need to practice is speaking clearly because I am sometimes shy when I’m in front of an audience or crowd.

These five skills thinking, managing self, participating and contributing,relating to others and using language symbols and texts has to be included in schools. So make sure you start doing it even though other people are being silly around you.

Why Should We Learn To Swim? By Seini

Why Should We Learn To Swim

You need to learn to swim and keep safe in the water at all times.You might even learn a new swimming skill or make up your own skill. Enjoy your time learning to swim.

Survival

You need to know how to keep safe in water so that you will stay alive. For example If you were at the beach and you were at a really deep spot  and you couldn’t swim you can already start drowning. Thats why its important to swim.

Fun

If I was going to a birthday party and we were going to the swimming pools and I didn’t know how to swim. I would be staying In shallow pool with the some toddlers and all the other kids in my age would be having fun and I would be in the corner with my eyes shedding tears.

Conclusion

Swimming is sometimes complicated, tricky for some people to learn, but is really important. It’s fun, keeps you alive and also healthy. Would you want to learn to swim? I hope you do start learning or even teach others to swim.

Why You Should Learn to Swim by Rima

Do you like swimming? Lot and lots of people love swimming. But do you know that some people can’t even swim. The reason you have to practice swimming is because if you drown you could die.

Survival

For an example, if you went kayaking and you couldn't control yourself and you were somewhere deep, you could fall and drown that's why you must practice swimming. If you don’t you will swallow the water, and when you jump up you will be coughing.

When you go back in the water you will have no breath left and it

will be really sad if you died and you could get cut and there will be blood coming out. But if you wear a live vest you will still be alive.

So please wear life vest and learn to swim. If you don’t, you know what will happen. Remember to practice swimming  and wearing  life vest. It could save you life!
