My highlights

This is some of my most enjoyable highlights in term 2!

The day that I've been always looking for is friday, do you wanna know why? It's because we have sport at fridays and it's the end of the school. Sometimes at sports my team mess around without our opponent I think it because we scored a lot so our captain let us mess around with them. 

My second highlights are my classmates, sometimes my classmates can be disrespectful but when you know them better you will have a happily year. Most of my classmates are jokers so we had a lot of laughing moments. I'll be looking forward to talk to them again in term 3 and have a lot of laughter.

Art work Term 2

1. This is my artwork that I've been doing in art. I haven't done a lot because I've been away for 7 weeks. I still manage to catch up with others even I've been away for a long time.

2. I enjoyed everything that I've created from the beginning because I learnt new things. Next time maybe I could do more examples.

3. I Learnt how to draw human figures.

Flight Aerodynamics

Aim: To look at the 4 main forces of flying and how these can be overcome.

Method: Working in pairs you are going to make a paper wing and experiment with it.

1. Make a paper wing out of A4 paper 
2. On the field you will need to record and observe how 5 different changes affect the way it flies.

Plane type	How does it behave?	Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop	It goes sideways before it drops.	2.25 sec
Paper with fold down middle, drop	It goes down very fast because of folded in the middle.	1.13
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	It went like a diving jet.	0.94 sec
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	It went forward before it lands.	0.87 sec
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	It goes around a table it goes back to me before it drops.	2.62 sec

Findings: If you change the shape of the plane or make it heavier it changes.





Conclusion: It changes of the planne cause something different effect or the same effect.

Brief of Chapters

The Flight Of The Red Bandit

Chapter 1 - I Find My Inspiration.

The grandfather of Geronimo stilton wants a new cowboy hat and deliver a tiny present to his old friend, But the the tiny present that geronimo’s grandfather was talking about was a enormous jar full of chocolates.

Flight

Today at science we studied flight.

Experiment Of Matter

Today at science we are experimenting matter.

Matter is divided into three, there are solid, liquid and gas.

Aim: To observe water as it changes states from solid to liquid and then to gas.

Equipment:

1. 250ml beaker
2. Thermometer
3. Bunsen Burner
4. Heatproof mat
5. Tripod
6. Gauze mat
7. Stopwatch
8. Ice cubes
9. Retort Stand
10. Clamp

Method:

1. Collect enough ice to half fill the beaker and place the thermometer in the ice cubes while you set up the rest of the equipment.
2. Set up the bunsen burner, heatproof mat, gauze mat and tripod.
3. Place the beaker on the gauze mat and gently clamp the thermometer so that it is held upright. The bottom of the thermometer should be low enough to be covered by the water but not toughing the bottom of the beaker.
4. Record the temperature of the ice.
5. Light the Bunsen Burner and start timing with your stopwatch.
6. Record the temperature every 1 minute
7. Keep recording until the water has been boiling for 1-2 minutes.

First stage - Ice 0 degress

Melting stageq

1 minute -  15 temperature

another 1 minute - 30 temperature

another 1 minute - 53 temperature

another 1 minute - 80 temperature

another 1 minute -  100 temperature

boiling temperature - 110 temperature

Taking learning further

This week we had to form a group if three and pick different kind of activities to do. At the end of the week we have to present it to our group.
