Fun Run photographer

 inviting we have to do right about the fun night I actually didn't anticipate in the front because of my broken toe so I got the tough job of photographer this week ounce of recount about what I felt like and what I did during this job. In this writing about past tense present and lots of different ways to say award in make it better using a different word for powerful and the adjective.


I found it hard to come up with the idea of what to write in a test because I'm like everyone else and my team had just done one run I had photographer or for fun I originally went with the one that my friends did the team toward or lap because my friends run it and I got to take photos of them and that was ultimately the funnest lamp for me.

I found it easy to come up with powerful words describing what I was doing that day because when I was doing it I bought some things in my head because I knew we were going to have to write about it because normally after a big boys only write about it.

Next time I think I'm going to eat it tomorrow writing to make sure the spelling and that sounds right is correct but I find that hard sometimes because I use voice typing because I am a really bad speller so I just hope that it says what I'm wanting it to say.

Sphero!

Before lockdown in science we got some learn how to code an epic robot horde Spiro we chose It Go in a square and zoom around the class. The spirit of robot was very fun but very hard to code specially to connect to it you had to wait a minute or so before it would pick up your Spiro signal what we found challenging was we had to put it back on charge before we could connect to it.

I really enjoy coding Spiro because it was a really good challenge and I love coding stuff especially it's a really cool outfit and also game fruit is a challenging one as well but this was by far the hardest which made extra fun. If you like a challenge checkout Spiro at south you may have a bb8 robot or a robot that you find in the store that can connect to it.Sphero EDU he's a picture show me the free robots you can connect with Spiro...



I found it really hard to connect the spirit cos everyone in my group wanted to connect to it and there was only two of them underneath and a big spirit so we had to take turns which I felt very challenging who is I really wanted to try my new code on it and I had to wait my turn and I didn't get a try.


Next time I will try to upgrade my Coke even more and make sure it's my cupboard and I'm not copper in the videos tutorials because ID really like to Coburn around some cupboards and in through tables.

Recipe for an Olympian!

In writing we were make a creative recount about if we were in the 100m final at the Olympics and what it is taken to get there all the training and all the hard sacrifices you have made we were creating something about the Olympics because our enquiry at the moment is the Olympics and the Paralympics at the moment the Olympics have finished though and the power Olympics are going so we will switch to the Paralympics soon.

when doing this I really enjoyed pretending that I was going to the Olympics for the 100m sprint final because I am quite fast and real-life as well. I also really enjoyed the challenge to add motes in because it made it a bit more fun I had to make a mote for each paragraph because Mozart only last 30 seconds or shorter.

I found it a challenge to write about being at the 100m finals because I actually haven't been there and I didn't see it on the TV like some other people did so it was a challenge to figure out what happens when you're doing it. But from previous experience in School athletics I think I saw us to out pretty good.

Turn off site right about an Olympic events again I think I will have more descriptive language into my right there and maybe Baker make it a bit longer with more adjectives and adverbs cos this what's up one of my best writings.

Bird catching!!

 On Father's Day  our Dad taught us about an old track he used to do with his friends back in the day bird catching! To catch a bird you need a box a big box but not too big then you need some string and a stick including bread. Best of all you put the bread on the ground and then you put the stick so the box is leaning on it face down then you tie a bit of string on the bottom of the stack and hide somewhere put some bread under the box so when a bird comes under the box you pull the string in the box falls down on the bird. When you're trying to catch a bird you have to make sure that you find a not windy spot otherwise the box will be bowing over and scaring the birds away.


When we were bird catching the thing that was really hard was patience because you have to wait a long time before the birds come and try to eat the bread.  Also it was really hard to pull the string when a bird was under the box because if you pulled it too hard if you're not that fast the Bird would Fly Away


during this fun activity I really enjoyed spending time with my brother and trying to catch birds because it's really fun even if you don't catch them because you're trying and there's still the excitement that the bird went under their. Once my dad put lots and lots of bread around the box that almost 100 birds came to eat it up.


Next time when I do bird catching I am going to let my brother have a turn pulling the string because I pulled the string the whole time and he was the box Runner to pick it up.

Me and my brother's awesome LEGO City!

During Lockdown me and my brother built this awesome LEGO City. The city is called BZ city we named it after our names Blake and Zane. The city has everything a lake a sea our bank and a police station including a playground Theatre and a Cafe. My favourite build in in the town would be my brother's Avenger Tower it's the tallest building in and owl town and it's by far the flashes.


I think the hardest thing in the town to build was the police station because we followed the instructions for it and it wasn't you so we had to find all the bits which took up a lot of time. It took me around 3 days to pull the police station the police helicopter the police van the police jail van and the police car.

What I enjoy most when building a city was everything I really enjoyed building all this LEGO with my brother and having fun doing it I think the result of the town was worth the time and effort because it looks g great. 


Next time if I build another town to upgrade it I think I should add more buildings and a school students go to get smarter.

Lemon battery!!!!

 In science we were doing lemon batteries to learn about technology and how it goes together.  Lemon batteries was one of the seven awesome activities out teacher had set up for us to do.

Making the lemon batteries we use 8 lemons but the light up the same with 7 lemons. At the start I predicted that we need six lemons but six lemons didn't work because one of the lemons was really small so we added two more and the light lit up.

I Enjoyed working with my group to create this because we had the problem solve and create different alligator don't know what alligator cables is it's a bit and two pigs on each side. 

To make sure the light lit up we used a volte measurer to measure the vault  the average was 8 to 9 but strangely it popped randomly up to 50 volts which I think was a glitch in the machine.


Check out this video which explains how to make a lemon battery it is very easy to do at home so give it a try.

Cotton ball launchers!!

  In science we were learning about Newton's first law of motion which is inertia something that still stay still until force is applied to it normally it would keep going but we have objects in the way on the planet such as Rocks grass and gravity. What was we to show inertia was we were making cotton ball launchers!

In this fun activity I found it really hard to roll the cardboard into toilet rolls the reason we have to do this is because this experiment was so short notice to our teacher that she couldn't collect toilet rolls because we were meant to do circuit boards and wiring but they hadn't arrived yet so we had to make them ourselves.

What I really enjoyed was shooting my cotton ball launcher at the big long ruler that the teacher had made with a mocha and some tape and trying to beat my friends. For most of the session I hold the record until Ruby came along and bid  it.

Check out this amazing video on how to make talk cannon ball shooter with a pencil to toilet rolls to rubber bands and tape>


home...

At home me and my brother Blake decided to do this really fun activity so we may Blake a launcher and we got to it shooting balls everywhere around the house. It was super fun!!!   when Blake made his he found it really hard to put the pencil through the middle tube because he didn't have a hole puncher he also found it really hard trying to beat my brother?
 "I liked in the target and hitting everywhere in the house and trying to beat my brother " said Blake. 
Blake having loads of fun with this launcher!

Book review/Miri & Raru

In reading we as one of our must do's we got to create a book review about this awesome comic book called Miri & Raru. This comic book is really cool and imaginative I highly recommend you to read.

My favourite part in the book was when Miri realised her teacher used to draw Monsters when she was upset  to make her feel happier.

Unfortunately I found it difficult to rate this book because I really liked it but they could have done some things that would have made it better, like added more characters but at the end I thought it was a really cool book.

In the future to make my book reviews better I think I will add more positive and descriptive words about the text because there are a lot more cool things that I can say about the book that I need to add in there.

Olympic medals!

This week in inquiry we were learning about the Olympic values friendship respect and excellence  so after I was done as my create I decided to design the Olympic medals as you can see below.  When we did create I did it with two other  buddies Archie did the gold medal I did the silver medal and Rautaki did the bronze metal. My favourite medal is the silver medal, comment below and tell me your favourite medal.

In  this time I found it really hard to collaborate with my buddies because you wanted to do different designs on the medals but one design look better than others so we went with it. S using you have a cool metal design it is really fun and easy to do just grab your Chromebook and do it on a Google drawing or it's on a bit of paper.

When I was doing my create I found it really easy to polyline the Olympic rings because they were around and there's only five but it was hard polyline in the straps for the medals because you had to get it symmetrical and the right size. Comment below and tell me your favourite medal?

In the future when I do this activity I will pick buddies that are not my best friends and then I think I will work better with and maybe do a different metal from the silver.  Next time another thing that I will need to do is make the medals more about respect friendship and excellence because we were meant to do them about them Olympic values and I think we failed on that.

My awesome comic book!

 

The last two weeks in reading we have learning about how to create our own comic book on this really cool app called Paxton feel free to check it out here the link.  
In reading I have really enjoyed creating my own avatar because you got to pick what post and what facial expressions you would like on yourself. 
I found it really hard to  create a comic book with only limited amount of backgrounds and people and on a site that I had no clue how to use.
Next time In reading I will try and read the main text a little bit longer so then I have a better idea off the story.

The Egg Drop...

 In science we where learning again about the first law of motion created by Isaac Newton. Out of the Three Laws of Motion we will learn in about inertia, when something is still it stay still when something is moving it stays moving but that's not the case on earth, because like when you kick a ball, normally that would keep going but gravity and another object such as Rocks, Stones and tree stop it.
The egg drop experiment, in the egg drop experiment you will need 1 cup water a flat tray or plastic plate and one egg1 cardboard toilet roll. To start off with full York up with water not too much water otherwise it won't work very well and the water will go everywhere, just sound second put the plate over the cup of water facing up and the toilet roll on top of the plate try to get it in the centre then put the egg on top and lightly like a spring the plate in the evening hopefully drop into the cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to challenge yourself and try to get I answer 5 cups at the same time check out this awesome video will show you how to do it>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gzCeXDhUAA




M&M Stacking



Is easy as it seems to stack M&M  Stacking it's actually really hard it's like stacking soccer balls. Can you be a world record the world record for sticking in the nearest is 5 by a Maori All Black. So we decided to have a go in science it was so difficult even out teacher struggled but Vincent got three twice in a row the highest in our class. The highest I got was 2! This is such a fun experiments here's what you'll need to do it at home a packet of Eminem's and a flat surface strategies so they can stick together. Check out this video which how's you the  whole story on seven Sharp>

Cold air balloon

 part 1: this lesson in science we will learn about the cold air balloon. I really enjoyed when the oxygen came up from the vinegar and the baking soda when it blew up the balloon. That is a really really fun experience very easy it'll be fun to do and your family at home or at a friend's house or a nana and pops here's the things that you want me you will need a plastic bottle no particular size baking soda as much as you can the more baking soda do you put in the mall the balloon or blow up in Niger and a balloon.

Watch the score some video that will show you what happens when you do this experiment.
the science behind Masters with vinegar tattoos the baking soda carbon dioxide blows up the balloon.  Check out this another video that show you how to do it and keep posted for part 2 on this experiment.
As you know in a previous post we will learn about cold air balloon. Cold air balloon part 2: Thes science lesson we were expanding on cold air balloon part one but this time we had a bigger bottle more vinegar and more baking soda but the same balloon. Try one we put 4 cups of Vinegar into the milk bottle in 8 ts of baking soda into the balloon but when we put the balloon on the milk bottle the balloon wrapped so we had the try again. Try tow we got another balloon and filled it with baking soda but 8 cups did infinite this torrent when we put it on the bottle it did exactly what it was meant to do. It's been lifted up the balloon leasing the baking soda go into the vinegar it started to create carbon dioxide which blew up the balloon very big but a balloon got filled with liquid and started squirting  out of the sides and went everywhere.

My other fake holiday 2020


What did you learn how to make sure that you are not eating scammed.

What did you enjoy creating a fake postcard because it was really fun to put me in someplace that I was not doing.

What was challenging write a post about Legoland because I have actually never been there.

What was easy learn about different ways to keep your South safe online from Internet scams.

What will you do next time add a bit more detail to my writing in my postcard.


 


Balloon Rockets!

Today in science we will learn in about Newton's three laws of motion. Out of the three we were only work in on the 3rd everything is an action has a reaction. My favourite part was when we make balloon rockets. Balloon walk it's are really easy to make and fun to do at school and at home. This was a very fun activity I found it hard to CoolDrive thinking on a bit of paper because I'm so over out and excited with the experiment. Next time I think I will let other people how the string in microphone instead of me doing it the whole time. As I said this was a very fun activities to do it at home here is all your need a stra, some string, tape and a balloon. Thread the string through the straw then put some type of the top of the stra and attach the blowing up balloon have someone holding the string on either side and then the balloon do the magic.
Chick out this video to help you to do the experiment https://youtu.be/5A9m3TRlk00
science behind this experiment was when you blew up the balloon and let it go it created pressure sending the balloon up but sometimes when it was on an Ayle it didn't work because gravity was pushing the gates it. My group had a great try so watch this cool video.

Molecules

 This science lesson as our experiment  we were making changing coloured milk/Molecules. I most enjoyed when we Put the soap into the milk and food colouring when  the food colouring smashed to the sides creating something that look like marble art. I found it a challenging not spell the milk or we had to clean it up because there was carpet and it would have made it stinky. This is a really fun activity so if you would like to do it at home check out this link what shows you how to do ithttps://youtu.be/6T3C-0-Djas




The science behind it was we the soap touched the milk it extracted water from the fatty acids which makes the food colouring flying to the sides making it look like marble art.

Homemade lava lamps

 In science elective this week we made lava lamps. Unfortunately we didn't get to take them home because we made them in a group and it'd be unfair of one of us took them home in the others didn't it was very fun when we added the hill and it's the larval and started producing here up to the top and then that it would come right back down and then go back up again.When you added the tablet piece, it sank to the bottom and started dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles rose, they took some of the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top, the gas escaped and down went the water.  Check out the school like to see how to make lava lamps at home.



Making bath bombs


This week in science electives we made bath bombs  for Mother's Day which was a very fun activity.
When we were making the bath bombs we had to make sure we didn't put too much water and liquid on to the dry powder it was very challenging because you had to add water but you had to had the right amount or it would start visit in your bath bomb would be ruined. The results in the science behind our Observations When a bath bomb comes in contact with water, the baking soda and citric acid react to make carbon dioxide bubbles. This is an acid–base reaction, where baking soda (also called sodium bicarbonate) is a weak base and citric acid is a weak acid.

Bath Bomb Recipe


What you will need:


(dry) - 1 cup of baking soda

1/2 cup of citric acid 

1/2 cup of epsom salt

(wet) - 1 tsp of water

1 tsp of essential oil

3 tsp of olive oil / coconut oil / Almond oil

2-3 drops of food coloring 


Measure out and whisk together your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Next, in a small cup, mix together the wet ingredients. This is also where you’ll add the essential oils. 


The next step is very important. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. You’ll want to do this very slowly, adding little drops at a time while mixing.


The citric acid is what causes the bath bombs to fizz when it comes into contact with water. Adding the wet ingredients slowly minimizes this affect. Then, firmly press the mixture into the mould. 

Let the bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours.

Camp reflections/ Animation!

 We were reflected  about canp and the cool awesome experiences that we did there like kayaks  and other cool things.

I found it easy to create an animation about my favourite part at camp which was kayaking because it was really fun because you got to push people off.

I found it hard remember what I felt and did on camp because I didn't finish it on cam which I think I should have because then I wouldn't have so much work to do.

Next time to improve on my work that I have done and my animation include in my booklet I think I should do more work at camp so then my ideas are fresh in my mind so I won't have to remember them.

My favourite part of the Horouta story animation

  • We were learning about the history of our district , how the Horouta waka came to Gisborne and the surrounding areas. My animation is about when Horouta waka hit the sandbank by Gisborne/ tairawhiti.

  • I found it easy to create a digital animation about the Horouta waka and polyline lots of different things which I really enjoyed.

  • I found it challenging to pick my favourite part of the story because I like the whole story and I didn't want to pick the same thing as everyone else did.

  • Next time I will spend more time on polyline and more detail to my backgrounds and Waka. I really enjoyed this this activity because I thought it was really cool to make an animation because we don't do many animation.

Pb4l logo

I was learning about create an PBFL for our logo that represents our school and how kind in nice we are.

I found it hard to record my audio in a quiet and respectful space.

I found it easy to think of a cool exciting logo that represents our pb4l and our school.

I really enjoyed polyline in pictures in inserting shapes.

Next time I will try and make sure my logo doesn't have any words.

Sunflower.

this writing session we were focusing on getting rid of the boring words and adding rich powerful and effective and verbs.

I found it easy to make the rich sentences into Word Art.

 I found it hard to correct all my spelling and edit my work.

I'm most enjoy during this writing session is publishing my work and an in backgrounds and change in the fox.

School triathlon

 This writing session we were learning about getting right off the boring words and replacing them with powerful and rich words.

This writing session I found it hard to and powerful and rich words to my writing.

This writing solution I found it easy to publish my writing and add fonts and pictures as backgrounds.

The thing that I most enjoyed about this session was writing about the triathlon because I like doing sport and triathlon
