Fables

 Kia Ora bloggers

Do you know what a fable is?

I do, that's my work for this week. 

A fable is a short story with a moral or message that is helpful for our day to day life.

Often the characters are animals.

Here are some examples of Fables 🡇

The Little Red Hen, The Gingerbread Man, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Lion and the Mouse, The Boy who cried Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.

Message:  If you expected to enjoy something at end, you need to help all the way through.  

 Message: Be careful who you trust!

3 Messages: Slow and steady wins the race.  

Pride comes before a fall.  Never ever give up!

Message: Kindness brings friendship and friendship brings loyalty.

Being small doesn't mean you can't do the same things as other people

Message: Tell the truth otherwise people won't trust you and you won't get help when you really, really need it!!

Message: ‘Listen to your Mother,’ ‘Stay on the right path,’ ‘Don’t talk to strangers.’

Te Waka Ako Symmetry Hunt

 I learned on Monday about symmetry. 

We had to find things around the house or outside that were symmetrical and assymetrical.

I learned that my face isn't exactly symmetrical which was a bit surprising, but the letters in my name, AN-NA, are. 

I learned that asymmetrical things are often unbalanced in what they look like and the things they can do, so to make a spoon balance over a pencil is really hard.  But a straw will easily be made to balance because it is symmetrical.

Symmetry is really important for things like clothes otherwise they look all wrong.  If some pants had asymmetric legs they would look really funny. alos wheels only work properly if they are completely round.

Asymmetry is important too because it makes things do their jobs like levers and keys.
