Forces

This week we have been learning about what Forces are and what they do. Forces are when you push and pull things,Stop things and when it changes directions. Some other things we learnt was that the sun produces heat and light,Gravity is a force too. Gravity helps us to stay on the ground so that we don't float away into outer space.The wind is the force for changing directions because the wind always changes what way it wants to go. We also learnt about Paper planes when it uses air pressure.Lift is the force that acts at a right angle,Thrust is the force that propels a flying machine,Drag is the force that acts opposite to the direction of the thrust and Weight is the force of gravity that acts in a downward action. We made paper planes to see who's would stay up in the air the longest and it doesn't matter if your paper plane has big wings or little wings it just about how much air pressure you use.Sometimes if you use to much air pressure your plane will just go straight to the ground.

We have been making our kahu whakaewarangi for Tawhirimatea and he is the god of wind, weather and thunder. He is grey and very strong. He is big. The white wool stands for the wind and clouds. The feathers stand for Tawhirimatea's blindness and the strips of wool stand for the trees blowing.

Tumatauenga

Tena koutou katoa Our atua is Tumatauenga. He is the god of war. Tumatauenga had many names such as Tu-ka-riri, Tu-ka-taua, Tu-kai-tangata, Tu-whakaeke-tangata and Tu-te-ngangahau. Unlike his brothers Tu wanted to kill his parents but it was decided that their parents would just be separated. Tu battled with his brother Tawhirimatea over the separation and later he battled his other brothers for not helping him defeat Tawhiri. Our kahu whakaewarangi represents Tumatauenga and his many battles.
