Science report - Flight

 Hi bloggers,

In literacy this term we are doing science. For the past few weeks, we have been looking at flight, and we had to do an experiment based on it. My experiment was if I change the different types of paper will it affect how the paper plane fly? When we finished the experiment I found out that the different types of paper do affect the flight. We had to write in a table about how the experiment went.

Here is the  link to the doc: Link

Science report

Hi,

This week in literacy we had to fill out a doc reflecting on our experiment we did.

Our experiment was about capillary action. Capillary action is the ability of something to move up or through something without the assistance of external forces like gravity, Like for example how plants absorb water, water goes through the soil and Capillary Action helps the water travel from the soil to the plant.

My experiment was with celery and water. we used different temperatured water and put the celery in for a certain amount of time to see how fast it goes up the celery or how quick you see a color change in it.

Numeracy and, Literacy mashup blog post.

Hey guys,
In numeracy, we have been drawing different 3D shapes on isometric dot paper. For this, we got 5 blocks and made 3 different shapes with them after we made the shape we drew it on the isometric dot paper. Once we finished doing 5 blocks we then used 10 and then 15.
This was really fun to do.
Have you done any drawings on isometric dot paper?

For literacy, we researched legendary places. We had to find a legendary place that we didn't know about or have heard of but want to learn more about. When we found the place we wanted to do we had to research it. I chose to do Atlantis because it seemed really interesting to me. The other task we did was a prediction of what we thought was going to happen next in the book, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
This task was really fun to do.
Have you ever read Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?
Is there anything you think I could do to make this better?

Online school Literacy

Hey guys,
Today we got given the task to write 3-4 paragraphs about what we would do if the world was going to end.
Here is mine

If the world was going to end

I would spend the day with people who are important to me like my family and my friends. First I would go out with my family for every meal of the day Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We would go to Maccas for breakfast. After breakfast, we would go for a walk in town we would stop at Margaret Mahy park for a bit, after that we would go to Rollicking Gelato for some ice cream.

After that, we would go and watch a movie and because this was going to be our last movie we would have to make sure it was a good and enjoyable one for all of us. Then we would go and have lunch at Mugen. And after we have lunch we would go visit some of our family and friends

Before the day ends we would go for a walk on the beach and watch the sunset and lastly for dinner we would go to one of our family's favorite restaurant Tony’s. And to make it even more fun and special I would invite our whole family to come.

That is what I would do if the world was going to end

Is there anything you think I could do to change it or make it better?

Online school

Hey guys,
Today on our online class we got given the task to take any book, or movie and find the moral of it,
I did the tortoise and the hare
The tortoise and the hare is about a hare that is too overconfident, he thinks he can beat a tortoise in a race, During the race, the hare decides to have a sleep under a tree, meanwhile the tortoise catches up and passes the hare and the tortoise ends up winning the race
The moral I found in this story is
"You can be more successful by being slow and steady other than doing it quick and carelessly"
Is there anything you think I could do to make it better?

Essay final

Hi bloggers,
For the past week, we have been editing our final essays mine is about food waste and how we can reduce all of the food that we have wasted.

Essay

Hello bloggers,  In literacy, we are writing essays My essay is about food waste and how you can stop food waste. did you know that we waste $1.17 billion on food that gets wasted that's a lot!

Poem parodying

Hello readers In literacy, we have made a parody from the poem "This is just to say" The first poem is the Real poem By William Carlos Williams. The blue writing is my parody. Enjoy! Have you ever heard of William Carlos Williams

Waste of money

Waste of money

waste can be could be anything, like a waste of money it could be anything like for example: buying something that is unnecessary that would be a waste of money or maybe buying a new food to try but you end up not liking it that would end up being a waste of money as well, but then you also wouldn't know if you liked it if you never bought it.

Buying things that you don't need and won't use would be a waste of money. If you get things that you already have heaps of that would be a waste of money unless they were collectibles. Getting toys for your kids, you can get them a few but when they grow out of the toys they will just be put in the corner. You could buy something that you thought would be useful but it's really not.

Or you could buy something but completely forget about it that would be a waste of money because you never ended up using it. When you go to the stores you should make sure you know you need that thing and will actually use it otherwise you will waste money on things that you don't even need and could have used the money for better things.
