** 24.8.11 - WALT infer ** ** The Tape Dispenser **

To use a tape dispenser is unbelievably easy. It is a wonderfu l and simple mechanism that holds a roll of tape and dispense it in quantities of your liking.

The contraption is built up of various parts that make it serviceable. Some of the main parts are the jagged metal razor, the plastic body of the dispenser, and the plastic axle in the middle of the body. There is also the foamy grip pad underneath the tape dispenser, which prevents it from sliding and scratching the surface it has been placed on. Some tape dispensers also have sand in the plastic body at the bottom to help weigh it down so it will not slide.

The dispenser is a simple gadget to use. Firstly, the end of the tape should already be stretched onto the razor teeth, so take hold of the tape and tug it gently towards you until it is the length that you require. Be careful not to pull it too hard so you end up with too much tape, and try to avoid cutting your fingers on the metal teeth. Next, pull the tape against the razor in a swift, downwards motion , hence cutting the measure of tape in a straight line. As a result, you can now cut approximate lengths of tape for your work.

As you may or may not already know, a tape dispenser isn’t dependent on electricity or batteries, so it can work anytime, day or night. They are used worldwide in offices, shops, schools, homes, and companies and serve themselves as a reliable working equipment. They’re cheap and can be used to stick objects together, wrap a present, hold a piece of paper or an item to a surface, or even hold items down.

As the world leaps farther into the technology and science of the future, clever

effective equipment such as a tape dispenser will surely stay the simple ingenious tool it has been for many more generations. What are 5 different ways to use a tape despenser: *Tape notes to things *To fix another despenser *Tape clothes back together *Fix holes *Tape stuff to floors 25.8.11 25.8.11 WALT: Explain  //Plan for 2nd Explanation //

//Snow is Fun for Kids. //

//Snow is fun for kids. Why? Because you can have snowball fights, make snow men and you can slide around in the snow. Lots of kids and others love to play around in snow and have fun in it. //

// Firstly, you can have snowball fights. They are really fun to do because you can throw them at your family,friends and lots of other things. If your family or friends don’t like it don’t throw another one. You can throw them at your sibling inside, but I am sure that you will get in trouble. You can accidentally throw one into your fire place. For example: The other day when it was snowing in Palmerston North I got a snow ball and I threw it at my sister inside but she ducked so it went in the fire place and put it out. //  //Snow is also fun because you can make snow men. A snow man is made up of three big snowballs. Once <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: line-through; vertical-align: baseline;">if <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> you make one you can accessorise it with lots of things. For example you could have a carrot for the nose and buttons for the middle of it to make it look like it is wearing a shirt. You could also jump on it and make it again. You could keep doing that all day if you wanted to. The other day I made a snowman and I accessorised it and then I jumped on it and I kept doing that, it was a lot of fun. But I lost all of my accessories while doing it. //

//<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Snow is also fun because you can slide around in it. If there is snow on the concrete or on a deck don’t slide round in it. It will leave a lot of marks on your body. If you slide around on a snow hill or grass it can be a lot of fun. For example the other day I was sliding around in the snow but I was dumb because I was sliding on the concrete and I was getting marks all over my body. Then I got smart and I started to slide around on the grass. //

//<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So all together you can see snow is fun. So the next time you have snow around start having snowball fights, make snowmen and slide around in the snow. They are all so much fun. //   //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">30.8.11 // //WALT:// <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZDUB8XXGGJE?hl=en&fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> //Infer//  //31.8.11// **31 August 2011: Goal Setting & Reflections 2011...** media type="youtube" key="ZDUB8XXGGJE?hl=en" height="349" width="425" ** 23 September 2011: Literacy - Writing **** WALT explain **
