magnets

In the last two lessons, we have been learning about magnets and what they do. We learnt that the north and south pole on a magnet point to the north and south pole on the planet. Magnets have an invisible line of force. Using iron filings, you can see these lines. The core of the earth is one big magnet and the biggest magnet on earth is the earth. You need to be careful around credit cards if you have a magnet.

Nucleation

In science technology we learn about nucleation  by doing the coke and mentos experiment and by watching the "dancing raisins" experiment.
Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEGCvj977_A
For the coke and mentos experiment the more mentos you add the higher it goes but the shorter amount of time because the CO2 gas in the coke is released more rapidly.

Emergency Flashlight

I am most pleased about finishing my project, at the beginning I thought it would be harder than I expected.I enjoyed designing the image for the cover. The most challenging part was soldering the resistors on. The most difficult thing was tinning everything    

This is the final outcome of my emergency flashlight that we created in technology. It has a switch on the back to turn it on and off.

Eat Healthy Food

WALT: persuade a reader to agree with the writer’s point of view through the presentation of relevant points and supporting evidence.

Eat Healthy Food

Don't just go to the dairy and buy a bag of lollies. Buy a bag of apples, they provide vitamin C and go towards your 5 plus a day

first of all eating too much sugary food is a terrible thing, it rots your teeth and can make you obese.  Don't be a couch potato and eat lollies that is the wrong  thing to do, be healthy. Eat a wide variety of fruit, veggies and meat. Don't have sugar eat fruit, veggies, and meat.  If you eat healthy food you will get strong and you will have the energy to run a marathon.

This is the time to change your eating habits. BE HEALTHY! BE HEALTHY! BE HEALTHY! It's the good thing to do. If you are not healthy you could get diseases like diabetes. If you don't treat you body right it will be much harder to fight off colds.

Healthy food means good skin, strong teeth, and bones, shiny hair. Better immunity from colds and flu and quicker recovery if you do succumb. Have mostly fruit and veggies some of everything else except junk food cut back on junk food.

Secondly, there are so many better things to do than eating all day long. Everyone go out and do some exercise go swimming, hiking, running you can even do some sports. There are so many different ways you can go out and exercise. Get some friends or some family they can do it with you.

If you do lots of exercise your heart gets bigger same thing happens with lots of other internal organs.

Last but not least i am going to teach you how to have a healthy diet.

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.

There are water vitamins and fat vitamins, the water vitamins are vitamins B and C, the fat vitamins are vitamins A, D, E and K. You need a spread of some of the vitamins every day.

You should have at least 3 square meals a day and maybe a piece of fruit in between.  Occasionally you can have something very sugary . But remember still have you 5 plus a day that is a very important thing.

In Conclusion, Eating healthy food is really important so don't eat sugary foods.

The End

Something I am really proud of is:

How I started my speech and how much i managed to do in my speech.

Electronics Technology

My learning journey of electronics began today.

I am going to design and make a torch ready for an emergency.

Congratulations doctor

What worked well in our group:

We worked together as a team.

What we could do next time:

Do more coloring in.

What was challenging:

It was challenging to get it all done in time.

I wonder why: 

We have five fingers on each hand?

We have large intestine and small intestine?

My Goals For Term 2

Materials Technology

In technology for the past few week's we have been making a USB cover. This is a sheet of the stages we did

Recount writing

This term our focus has been on recounting events that happened to us it could be a happy event or a sad event. We read Rold Dahl book boy to inspire us.

My plan

• What it was like
• How it felt
• Under the water
• With the air rushing in my face
• Before I jumped
• When I hit the water
• Lake was clear
• Water splashing
• The rock
• The sand under the water

My success criteria

• Hooking the reader in
• Include the important information for the reader
• Include details so that the reader knows how we feel

THE JUMP

I had never been so scared in my life. It looked like it was about a 100ft drop. My eyes started watering like a volcano erupting. Dad drops and cuts the water. SPLASH!!! Stepping forward I dropped.

A big rush of air went over my face. As I fell I  got a big wiff of fresh air. Trying to keep myself in position, my hands held over my face to stop the beautiful water of Taupo, from rushing up my nose.

My feet shot the water. In milliseconds I was submerged in the freezing fresh water. Soon after, it became cool fresh water. The water filled my mouth. Swallowing the water I pushed up. When I got to the top of the water I gulped for fresh air. Slowly I moved out of the way. Looking up at what I just jumped off I realised that it was only about 6-7 meters down.

I swam to the surface and yelled, “dad can I do that again”. He replied, “no we have to go now”. I climbed up the hill as quickly as I could (which was pretty slow). I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my wet body,  and through my flooded hair. Finally, I jumped in the car.

Bedroom

As you enter my bedroom,

you see the messiest room you've ever seen.

There’s lego on the ground which represent spikes.

A river of bedding on the floor.

My bedroom is like that.

You can feel safe,

when you fall asleep on the incredibly rock hard bed.

The room is like a safety barrier,

protecting you from danger.

My bedroom is like that

If you listen hard you can hear the dogs,

biting on the carpet waiting for someone to enter.

They wait like guards standing at an entrance of a castle.

And my bedroom is like that.

W.A.L.T. Use our imaginations to write on a variety of topics for 5/10 minutes each day.

Quick writes

Around the corner

I was tramping out in the woods then through the trees i saw a big black thing. Staring through the trees as hard as possible trying to make out what it was. Then i hear a great big roar curiously i sneak forward a see… A big black bear Ahhhh! I screamed and ran as fast as possible the bear ran faster.

Octopus

Sitting on the power line look at each other were two little octopus one pink and the other orange. Out of nowhere comes a flying shark (it is not a flying shark it just has a jetpack). The orange octopus get caught by the shark the other one grabs it. The one in the shark's mouth grabs on tho the thing that hangs at the back of your throat. It slips out of the mouth and free falls into the ocean. On the back of the shark and Slips of the jetpack. Then the jetpack plows up then blow up into smithereens.

apocalypse

Lonely and deserted, lay the city. The only sound was the wind howling. Not a living thing anywhere. BANG! Buildings fall apart power lines collapse roads cracked. radiation flies through the air replacing oxygen. dry and brown, the ground is.

Apocalypse

LT: Add detail to our writing to describe a setting...

Lorcans poem

NIAMH

My sister is a witch.

She yells at you like

a witch would if you

came onto their property.

Breaks everything even

rock as hard as concrete.

She is as annoying as

a high pitched scream .

grumpy hitting people

to get them out of

the way.

if you see her

coming you better

run or she will

hit you.
