Athletics day 2021

 

This was a really fun and it was really easy to remeber about this since yesterday, atleast for this day it is Athletics day.

It got really tricky thinking about all the things that I could add into it so that I can make my piece of writing.

The Fun run!

 

This was a really fun piece of writing even though I had wruten it two weeks ago I couldn't find my original piece and so I had to slap this pice together in half an hour so if there's any mistakes then you know now why. It was a little fustraighting at the time as well.

Muck ups and fun at Doneraille park.

 

As a kid kiwi I love to go on camping trips and drives everywhere and my favorite spot is by far Doneraille park and when I heard that we could write about my favorite place I easily knew that this is the way to go about it. 

It got tough remembering it even though I've been there tweleve times it still came down to how much I did and what one to pick but I choose my tenth time. If you're wondering how I know how many times I've been there it's because I have photos from every time.

Battery powerd car

 My grouop did a project on a battery powerd  car. It had already been made so all we need to do is examine and test it so that was very easy to say the least. It was hard to get it working again so that was challenging.I think for the next time I could work a bit faster and not get as frustraited.

The brian box.

 During the science group I'm we made a perpela spin using  electricity. It took a few trys to get there but we got there in the end. we had to use four batterys to power it and it did power it maybe a tad to much because it got up to the point of going so fast that it span off its holder and flew up into the air for a bit.It was sort of hard thinking of what we needed to make out of the brain box because we had missing pieces and most of the instructions were gone so it helped narrowing down to what we need to make so that part was easy and hard. But I think our whole group may need to coperate and work together more so that would be a good thing to work on next time if there is one.

Olympic fire torch

 

Today as a part of the inquiry sesion that Zaveir and I was about to do we made a tourch from the olympics and decided to put a black background in to make it look a bit more dramatic.

 But it got a bit anoying to restart the fire part which is the part that I did but because of me doble clicking my keboard it stopped it.

It was mostly hard with how I thought to do things or things such as designs.

My acrostic poem

Today in our writing class we did an acrostic poem about the Tokyo Olympics and I also added in a polyline because me and someone else in our writing class finished early. I mainly just thought of a whole bunch of words to use on the mat while the teachers were explaining things about the acrostic poem.

I found it quite easy to write the words and because I'm just going to say it again that I was thinking of words down on the mat, I don't really know if that's cheating?

Because of me finishing early I had to polyline and with only twenty minutes left it started getting really hard and so I sort of panicked so I'm doing this post quite fast.

If I ever do this again I would definitely go a lot faster so I don't have to write this fast ever again.

The coin drop challenge

A while ago our science elective had done a coin drop challenge using one of newtons laws of phsics.

We used a cup, paper and a coin. We  first put the paper ontop of the cup and put thr coin on the paper. We will have to hit the paper totake it off the cup and then the coin falls into the cup in theory.

I found it easy to get it all set up and ready to do so then I can get it in easily without having to wory.

I found it hard to get it in without it hitting the side because i think it should be a little bit more in the midle.

Next time I will try get  five coins and try and se what that does. I think it might fall out or crack the glass

egg drop inertia challenge

 Today in our science group we did the egg drop inertia challenge. We are using Sir iazach newton's first law of phsisics by only using a empty toilet role, a plastic plate, a cup and water. We were put into groups, I was paired up with a friend called Cejay. We started to fill the cup up to half way and placed a plastic plate ontop,

During this activity I really found it easy to set the challenge up and understand it because it was explaned so you know what your doing.

This time I found it a bit hard to not get an egg cracked because they would normaly hit the sides then crack when you take them out.

I think that I will improve on next time to try not to brake more eggs so I'm not wasting any for others to use.

My values medals

 

 

For my second fast finisher I've made three medals one being about a medal of excellence, another being about frendship and the last but not least it's a medal of respect.

It would be nice to see the olympics make these medals as an award for the people deserving it. Think of every time you do something nice you get a medal, f the world was lie this then would you have alot or not so many medals? I now I would have a few from today because here at our school we love to learn.

I found it easy to design thye medals outside because I searched up some medals to try know a few more details.

I found it hard to get the right color of the medals because most of them didn't really look like gold.

Next time I will make the medals a diffrent shape for fun and maybe to make it look beter

My values posters.

 

As a fast finisher for my olymipcs inquiry i've made a poster. Everythinjg I've listed on the posters are true and are words to inspire you to push forward.It took me a while but I'm still proud of my work because I know I did it on my own without help. If you make things by yourself or with others because you ahd eaither helped build it or you did. When I make things out of lego or a thing called vex robotics I think of that in my head.

I found it a little easier  this time to get the poster background ready for the pictures because I use to make posters like this about 2 years ago.

This time I found it very hard to think of the word even though it's obvious that their are so many ways but thats what I was stuck on.

I should deffinitly try see if I can find some real photos to sort of test things out and to give me diffrent options next time.

M&M stacking!

We were doing quiet an intresting thing in our science class by stacking M&M's. We did a warm up by stacking stones which was very fun but hard. Ater we finished  I had gotten the record for the school by getting to stack three on top of each other but I did it twice so even though someone named tyran got three stacked as well I still did it twice. The world record for the M&M stacking challenge is five which is amazing because of how hard it was. This person was an enginer so that would o helped, If your looking or a sae but hard challenge at homw then this could be or you.

I found it hard to stack three in a row because it really just a hard thing in general.

I found it easy to have un with my riends because M&M stacking was challenging but with riends its un

Next time I will try beat the world record

Should we be prepared?

I found it easy to describe how I felt in this sort of situation because I wanted to be as honest and accurate as I can be to presuade you.

I found it hard to find the right given evidence that is strong,truthful and can persuade correctly.

Next time I will try to make it longer so you get more of an idea because you may not get the idea.

I hope you can agree on me with thes turms.

Ballon madness

 

We used a balloon, bottle, vinegar, measuring cup and a table spoon for this science experiment.

We used the funnel and added a tablespoon or two of baking soda into the balloon. Wipe any baking

soda from the funnel and place it into the bottle. Pour about a half a cup of vinegar into the bottle.

Fit the balloon over the opening of the bottle making sure no baking soda falls inside.

Now lift the balloon and let the baking soda fall and mix with the vinegar.

When vinegar and baking soda mix, an endothermic reaction occurs. This produces carbon

dioxide which inflates the balloon. The endothermic chemical reaction will also lower the

temperature in the area surrounding the vinegar and baking soda so significantly that you will

be able to easily notice the change in temperature.

I found it easy to watch this observation because in general all I needed to do is watch and learn.

I found it hard to understand the first half because the fact that it was a little over complicated.

Next time I will try to do this at home or even do some tweaking to it.

Action and reaction.

Last week our school science electives put our science hats on and learnt about action and reaction,we learnt that in every action there is an equal reaction. We used a balloon, string, tape and a paper straw to demonstrate this law of physics.

We cut the paper straw into small pieces and used one to slide on the string.Then we blew up the balloon and taped it onto the paper straw. We had our teammate Eria holding one end while Ruby was holding the ballonI was on the other side of the string holding it. Ruby let go of the balloon and it shot off to me and stopped.

When we release the balloon, the pressurized air in the balloon pushes against the air around the balloon sending it in the opposite direction down the string.

I found it easy to assemble the task because it is very simple and the names of the tools aren't too long for me.

I found it hard to understand the physics at first because there was a lot behind it but now it's a little bit easier.

Next time I will try different approaches like changing the tool brands or use more or less.

I am poem

I am Vinny.

I wonder if it's true that in WW2 the natzis played soccer.

I hear mellow chirps from birds.

I see the lovely linen land.

I want a car.

I pretend nothing.

I feel the roughness in my hands.

I touch the soft grass.

I worry that I'll crash my go kart.

I cry when I'm hurt.

I understand Maths,Reading and what's in a car.

I say things that encourage.

I dream that I was on a boat.

I hope for the best.

Lava lamps

To start off with the lava lamp, know the oil in the lava lamp stays above the water because the oil is lighter than the water or, more specifically, less dense than water. The oil and water do not mix because of something called “intermolecular polarity.” Molecular polarity basically means that water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. They get along fine, and can loosely bond together (drops.) This is similar to magnets that are attracted to each other. Oil molecules are attracted to other oil molecules, they get along fine as well. But the structures of the two molecules do not allow them to bond together.

When we added the tablet it sank to the bottom and started dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles it rose

and they took some of the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top, the gas escaped and down

went into the water.

I found it easy to understand the physics of the lava lamp because we had it explained well your teacher.

I found it hard to remember what order the ingredients because the fact that there was quite a lot of ingredients.

Next time I will try harder, do things faster and try to make one at home.

Bath bomb science experience

 Our science group for school had been making bath bombs using things you probably have in your pantry. 

After we had made these bath bombs we put one in water and using our knowledge we knew that the H-2-0

made it set off to make a fizz and nice smell.

The citric acid is quite a weak alkaline so that's what makes it do only a little fizz,because it's quite wear it reacts to the C-0-2.The oil in it is what makes it smell nice,we used camelo oil and it smelled quite nice.

This here is the science behind the bath bomb.

We were learning the science behind the making of a bath bomb,We learnt how and why it reacted.

I found it easy to understand the science behind a bath bomb because I'm quite used to learning cool things like this.

I found it hard to make the bath bomb because it's very hard to stir it and get the right texture for it to be the best that I could make.

Next time I could try to make one at home and use different ingredients which would be very cool.

kayaking

 

I found it easy to find the pictures because there is a new apdate so it doesn't just take you somewhere random.

I found it hard to remember what we were doing while kayaking because we did it two weeks ago and a few days.

Next time I will try be a little bit more quiker in my writing becaue I thin I too a little too long.

kayaking

 

I found it easy to try get as much rich launge that ive ever had probaly.

I found it hard to remeber what we did while kayaking because we did it two weeks ago.

Next time I will try extend tit out more so it will look alot better.

Hourota

 

UV poster

 

We were learning about UV witch actully stands for ultra violet.you may know that if you listend to my mote.

I found it easy to make the background because it seems as if 'we did it every day'

I found it hard to remeber about UV and understand the whole thing when we were watching our videoon class.

TRYathalon

 

 

 

I found it hard to make out correct punctuation beacause there's so many things that i could add.

We were writing about the triathalon since we just did it and that just helps alot.

 I found it easy to remeber what we did at the triathalon mainley because we did it not long ago.

Next time I could work on my punctuation so my writing level goes up.

Sun flower's

 

We were learning about sun flower's so we could make a blog and post it to our blog's and that way we can have many more post's. I found it easy to come up with the words to discript the sunflower's,It had some hard part's. I found it challenging it to find sun flower's online to put in the blog because their are too lease of sunflower photo's. Next time I will try make my sentences a little better because I fell I could do better.
