An Explanation of the  parts of cars

The most important parts of cars are the engine, the wheels, the body. I am going to explain about each part.Cars are vehicles they can carry you wherever you want them to go.

The Body

In the Body of a car there windows, windows are  to keep the wind out of your face and to keep any bugs out of your face. A seat is for you to sit in so you can get in the car and drive in a comfortable seat. The door is for you to open and close and  to keep you from falling out.Cars have lights to guide them through a dark rainy day or night. The boot is to store your things that you want to take somewhere.

The roof is to shelter you from rain snow or hail.

The wheels and Steering Wheel

A spare wheel you can use incase of an emergency like a flat tyre. The wheel is for the car to move smoothly across the  road. A Car has a steering wheel to steer you in all different directions  you want to go.   

A car is an amazing invention because it can take you places and you don’t have to walk everywhere.

How have the learning muscles helped you with your learning in Maths and/or Literacy and in one other learning area for example Matariki, P.E, Art or Camp?

Maths

I used heaps of muscles to build my learning powers of Resilience and Resourcefulness to help me In Maths. I built my Resilience Muscle by persevering in trying to work out my times tables. I also used my Resourceful muscle by  questioning anything that i don't know about and how to use it.

Art

This term we have been doing koru art I think I built a lot of my learning muscles

I used Resilience by Managing Distractions by ignoring people who are doing the wrong thing.

I also used Reflectiveness  by planning in my topic book and not starting my big piece of paper until I thought I was good  and had checked with the teacher.
