Reading outside of the book

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
By: J.K Rowling
Have seen the movie first

I loved this book. I would rate it 4.5 stars out of 5!!! Great book and movie and really keeps you on your toes. This book is about the very beginning of Harry Potter and how his parents passed away. But are the muggles being completely true about Harry Potters passed. And will Harry defeat you know who?  I would recommend to people 10 and up.

Who am I?

I keep you warm or cold  

I can be on your ceiling or walls

You control me with a remote

I go on and off on your command

You can find me in most rooms

What am I?

By Sophie

In reading we have been doing Inferences. Can you guess who I am?

Inquiry - Innovation

Sophie's Inquiry - Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires

This is our inquiry we did. We had to choose 3 people that have done a Discovery, Innovation, and Invention. Enjoy!!!

Electronics

Starting construction for my emergency light in electronics. Today in electronics we designed our cover for our emergency light.

This is the design I choose. 

Inquiry

For our inquiry topic this term we have been learning about innovators. Here is one of our tasks for inquiry.

Leaning Tower of Pasta

For inquiry, we have been doing inventions. This is one of our challenges we did. We were given 20 minutes to creative the tallest tower. And we WON!!!!!!

Use your creativity to come up with 3 alternative names for this very exciting game!
4 Nations	Rekit ball	Heads up

Imagine another class here at HNI has not played this game before. Complete the rules below to clearly describe the aim of the game and exactly what the rules are.

The aim of the game: To get the fewer points than the other teams.

Rules:

1. When you catch or throw the ball you must have your bottom on the ground.
2. DON’T throw too hard.
3. To give a point to another team they must have all the balls on their side.
4. The team with the fewer points win.
5. Don’t throw the ball too high or you will get points put into your team.

Game Adaptations:

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the traveling ball also speeds up the game.	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleachers to stretch their arms and intercept flying balls. Some people at the back can stand up. If the ball goes through the bottom, the team that throw it will have an extra point.	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleachers to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area. Aim for one team so they get out faster. Have the good throwers at the end and tall people at the front so you get more balls over faster. Make sure all you players are spread out.

Electronics

The GET READY THRU Website says that in our Emergency Kit we need a TORCH and spare batteries. At Electronics I am going to design and make an Emergency Light for myself.
