My Explanation of a Car
Introduction(A brief explanation of ‘What it is’ and the purpose of it)
I will explain some of the parts on a car. Down below


Firstly, I will explain about the car's engine,gear stick & steering wheel

A engine is made out of metal that's why it is so heavy.A engine helps you get from one place to another in a matter of time it also starts up the car and you use a gear stick and a steering wheel.

The gear stick is what moves the car's wheels and you move the gear stick into 1st,2ed,3erd,4th & 5th speed and there is also reverse so you can reverse out of your drive or in your driveway.

A steering wheel is is side of the car you just turn the steering wheel and the wheels turn in what direction you want to go and you also you have the backup wheel so if you get a nail in your tyre you can just change the tyres over .


Secondly, I will explain a car has lights,seats,door & handles

A car has two lights that helps you see in the dark at night and then there is the two back lights that you use so people behind you can see which way the person is going to turn

The seats are for when you open the door you can sit down on the set and drive.

Doors are what you open to get in the car and out. Doors are connected on to the car also they have hinges that make the door open and close.

Handles are what is connected on to the door and you just pull it and the door opens so you can get in.

Next, I will explain back up wheel, wheels / windows

In the back of your car or side you have a back up wheel so if you get a nail in your tyre you can just change the tyres over.

The wheels are for so you can drive on them and so you can move around.

The windows are for so you don’t get dirt on your face or on your clothes.Windows are all so used to wind down and up so if you cold you can wind the window up and if you hot you can wind the window down.

Finally,I will explain The bumper bar,gas tank & boot

The bumper bar is for if you get hit then your car won’t be that damaged it might just have a little dent your car.

The gas tank is on the side of your car that you just open with your key the gas tank is so you can open and fill your car up with gas so you can still drive it.

The boot is what you can open if you buy some groceries and you can put them in the boot and the boot is also used for if you buy some plants you can put them in the boot as well.

In conclusion, a car is a marvelous invention to use.

          Camp & Maths

Camp: Camp really helped my learning muscles because I managed distractions that were around me eg when we were making the cars and we were sitting in the lounge and the woman starting to talk some people were talking which was a distraction to me so I used my ignoring muscle.
Maths:I am in Mr Kenny's math group and I have learnt lots of different strategies. I have  learnt basically all my times tables.
