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!

Olympic acrostic poem!

In writing we where making an acrostic poem about the Tokyo Olympics because the Tokyo Olympics is really cool event that people can expire to do.

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.
