Do Now - Week 2

 When I listen to the music I imagine an Island in the middle of the ocean. The island has palm trees and coconut tress all over it. The sky was as blue as the ocean and the sun shine so bright in the sky. Crabs was walking all over the white sand. Waves crashing and the ocean splashing made a relaxing sound.

Social Study

 Hello! Readers

In social study class, we've learned about the NZ communities.

We read Zeinab writing when she talks about people being racist against Muslim people and people calling her a terrorist.

We saw the stop Asian hate post by Simu Liu and he talks about how Asian hate started from covid-19.

We watch and listen to the music video Same Love by Macklemore.

We saw Jacinda Apologies for the way the Pacific community was created during the Dom Raid.

After we read and watch them we had to answer questions relating to them.

Week - 1 Do Now

Hello! Readers 

Today I'm gonna be telling you guys what a Schooner looks like.

 A schooner has a long body and it's made out of wood. The wood looks old and rusty. The schooner has 4 sails. The colour of the boat is black and white on top. If you would be in the boat you would see the water and the inside of the boat. If you were sailing in the boat you would feel the wave rocking the boat and you could hear the wind and the water splashing against the boat.Schooner - Wikipedia

Week 1 - Do Now

The U-Boat is the German most formidable naval weapon. The U-boat is 214 feet long and it carried 35 men and 12 torpedoes. The U-boat can travel underwater for 2 hours at a time.

Youtube video About the U-boat

I pick this video because it shows a picture of the U-boat and it tells you the size of the U-boat and how it travels. It tells you about the engine and how it works.

Energy Transformation

 Energy Transformations is when energy is passed from one type to another.

There are 8 types of energy:

1. Kinetic - moving

2. Chemical Potential - energy from food/fuel

3.  Heat - temperature giving energy Hot = lots Cold = not

4. Light - waves of light - visible (can see) or x-ray

5. Gravitational - effect of gravity pushing down

6. Elastic Potential - stretches to load up energy

7. Electrical - anything using power

8. Sound - waves can hear eg. voice, vibrate

Today we made a cannon and after we have done making we take it outside and shoot marshmallows.

The marshmallows started as elastic potential energy and when it shoots it was kinetic energy and then it changes to a gravitational and then it changes back to kinetic energy.
