Enviroment tech

 Today as it was Thursday we did tech again. My group had to do work in the garden and we planted pea seeds. We had to do an experiment though so we are only going to water one of the pots. This is one of them:

Cooking

Today we had Tech again and I did cooking. We made devilled sausages and pikelets. First we peeled the apples then we put them in the pan with grated carrots, sausages, onions and tomato sauce. Finally we put the cooked rice in and the devilled sausages were done! Have you ever had them before?

Tech at Lake brunner

 Because there was Covid 19 at Grey High we decided to have tech at our school. There were three things we could choose from; Enviroment and Hard materials, Cooking, and Digital tech. I chose Digital and we made a funny movie about Lake brunner school.

 

First aid day

 On Tuesday we had Te Kingas big day out. What we did was we went all around Moana while the 'accident group' kept on getting injured. When one of the people in the 'accident group' got injured it was the people that were in there group (we had been put into groups before we left) to make sure they survived. Then we had to make a shelter that would protect us from rain. Then in our groups we had to make a fire. Sadly my group got last place.

How good do you think you would do?

Captioning

 Today at school we used photos from camp and put captions on them. This is my favorite of the ones we did.

Water Art

 Last week we did Art smart. What we did was we took cool photos of water, then we edited them to make them look better. I took a photo of water droplets on a piece of grass, then to make it look better I made the picture slightly greener and blurred out the other pieces of grass. Here it is:

Hope

 Why should you have hope? "Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic". As Laini Taylor said.  Another saying; "Nothing is imposible, the word itself says i'm possible". - Audrey Hepburn So if your feeling down, have hope as there will always be a way to feel happy.

NEVER GIVE UP!

What i'm looking forward to this term

This term I am looking forward to Sport. This is because we are learning handball wich I have never done before, its also really fun. I highly recomend you learn how to play it because YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING!

Volcano poster

 All through term one my class have been doing geology! We had to make a poster for natural disasters and I chose to do volcanoes. On the poster we had to put ten facts, a picture of the thing we had chosen to do and of course a title. Here is the poster:

 

This is the facts; 

Inside the earth it is really hot so some rocks melt and turn into magma since magma is lighter than rock it rises and goes inside magma chambers. Eventually some of the magma pushes through vents to the earth surface which causes volcanoes to erupt.

The danger area around the volcano has a 20 mile radiusMore than 80% of the ground is volcanic in origin

There are three major kinds of volcanoes; cinder cones, composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes.

Cinder cones are formed by blobs of congealed lava coming out of a vent, as the gassy lava is blown roughly into the air it breaks into small pieces that turn into cinders and fall down around the vent to create a circular or oval cone. 

Composite volcanoes (also called stratovolcanoes)are named for their composition. These volcanoes are created from layers of pyroclastic material, including lava, pumice, volcanic ash, and tephra. The layers stack on each other with each eruption. 

When volcanoes erupt they can trigger tsunamis and earthquakes.

A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground.

The sound of an eruption volcano can be quiet and hissing or explosive and booming. 

There are 1,500 active volcanoes in the world.

How do birds fly?

Since I have always wondered "How do birds fly?" I decided to do some research and this is what I found out:

• Birds have hollow bones that are very light and strong.

• Their feathers are light and the shape of their wings is perfect for catching the air.

• Their lungs are great at getting oxygen and they are very efficient for flying over very long distances without getting tired.

• They eat lots of high-energy food.

• When a bird is flying, their wings are flat so that the air flows easily around it in the direction the bird flies (like your hand cutting through the water or air). However as the air flows over the wing, the air flows faster over the top than the bottom because the wing is slightly curved on top. This means there will be more air on the bottom side, because the air is moving more slowly. When there is more air on the bottom that leads to a push and since the push happens against that wide flat part of the wing, this push lifts the bird. So that means a bird's wing slices in the air in the forward direction and gets pushed up from below the result is a flying bird!

Here is a diagram of a birds wing.

Top Team

Today we did Top Team. Top Team is a really fun activity where a group of people do the set challenges against another team and they get points for lots of different things. Some of the activites were "catapult", "burst pipe" and  "faulty towers". All these activites were really fun but I won't tell you how to do them so that it is a surprise for you if you ever do it. The good thing about Top Team is the skills you learn/practise and the fact that it is fun. The skills you learn/practise are teamwork, communication and exersise all those are very good for things in future. Here are some photos of our school doing some of the activites.

All in all we had a really fun day!

The mystery of the mystery of M.R Bonsto

 I am writing a horror story about a young orphaned boy on an adventure with his friends Blue the husky Griffin the cat and Rocky the cockatoo. I am writing it out of interest at home and at school. Here is a snippet.

"Then after what seemed like ours but really was only minutes the party made it to the kitchen. It was musty, damp, cobwebby and distantly smelt of rotten fish. “This really is a horrible place but i'm so thirsty I think I'd better drink out of these taps”. So Jack twisted the nob and this strange red liquid came out. “AGGH”. Screamed Jack. “It’s BLOOD”! And sure enough it was blood. “Let’s get out of here”. Advised Jack. “good idea, good idea”. “Meow”. “Woof”. Agreed Rocky, Griffin and Blue. 

So without saying a word they tiptoed along until they came to what looked like a library “noting here”. Announced Jack. So they left. But if Jack had two good eyes he would have seen the eyes on the books staring out at him… "

Funny Bunny

 I have made a poem it is called funny bunny I hope you like it,

Once there was a bunny

who ate to much honey,

he had a sweet tooth

and was rather uncooth,

for he ate with his paws

which broke a few laws,

but eating all that honey was a definite mistake

because his whole tummy it started to shake,

and then there was a BOOM!

The bunny had just gone KABOOM!

Where there was bunny 

there was just HONEY!

We have been writing persuasive speeches. At first I didn't know what to write. I wanted it to have something to do with animals but I didn't now what. But then I heard that we could write "when we were prime minister", that's what I did.

Today I made a Screencastify of myself reading my speech aloud. I used my Chromebook, webcam,microphone to record my screen and me reading it with Expression.

My new dollar note

About two months ago my class had to make dollar notes. On the note we had to put an animal, a plant and ourselves. For the animal I put my cow buster and for the plant I put a palm tree. I found it very fun because it WAS EXCITING to have a DOLLAR NOTE WITH MYSELF ON IT. Here it is.

Snider

This is my creation. It is a snake crossed with a spider,  

it would make an amazing pet. Because it has the cleverness of a spider and the sneakiness of a snake.

The snider eats flies and rats and mice by just hanging from your roof and opening its mouth when a fly comes inside. So they don't cost any money to buy.

The snider lives up to 30 years and will cost 30 dollars so it is not very expensive.   

You can take the snider with you when you go for a walk so say if you go on a bush walk it will go in the bushes and catch the rats and stoats and pests like that. 

Scratch game I made

Click the green flag to play How to play: The orange white and purple fish will follow the mouse. Try not to get eaten by the shark you can hide in the log and the shark can't eat you but if the shark touches the log it teleports to a random space. You can eat the little fish. when you eat the fish you get bigger and if it says food eaten 13 you can eat the shark, then a pufferfish spawns you need to have food eaten 35 to eat it if you get eaten by the puffer fish or shark you die and the evil cat will win you must not let that happen.
