School Gala

On Friday our school had a Gala from 5pm to 8pm. It was lots of fun we had games and face painting and people were running there own stalls so we had lots of things to do. All of the games were 50c so we didn't need much money to do anything. We had lots of company's donating to us so we could to lots of things. It was an exiting day and everyone had lots of fun. We were fundraising money for an outside play area strip thing and also o we can play outside in the rain. Overall we raise around 5,000 dollars so we will probably have enough to get it.

School Sailing

School sailing

On the 11th of November Our class went sailing. We went sailing in optimists. Since I had done a lot of sailing before I got to go by myself. Simon was teaching everyone how to sail. I have already done the cause before so I what was going to happen. It was exiting because there was lots of wind. First he told us how to set up the boats and then he told everyone how to sail the boats. We put on jackets and life jackets on and then headed out we had lots of fun sailing. We played a game were we were in teams and there was this ball we had to toss to all three of the other boats on our team and then into Simon's boat. But if the other team touched it then everyone had to touch it again. Halfway through the game I capsized and when I got back up I was taken out of my boat so the people who went in had to bail it! Over all it was a fun day and I would like to do it again.

Camp Reflection

In our class we went on camp in week 5 this is my reflection of it.

On the first day of camp we went to Authors Pass Outdoor Education Centre. When we got there we found our bunks and but our stuff on them. After that we had some morning tea. We played outside and did some team games for the rest of the day. After dinner we had a pillow fight and then we had some pudding. We then mucked around and went to bed. On the second day we woke up to a heard of elephants coming the hallway then we had breakfast and got told that we couldn't go to Mt Cheeseman until later because the road was closed. so we played inside for the rest of the day. Finally we departed and headed of for Mt Cheeseman. We were heading up the road and at the chain fitting area the road was closed so we played around in the snow until it opened. When it did we headed up the mountain. When we got to the top it was windy and snowy but we still played outside anyway. we made igloos and went town the beginners skiing slope on toboggans.

 But all fun things come to an end. eventually we had to come inside because it was to windy so we mucked around had fun ate dinner and went to bed. The next day we got up early had breakfast and packed ready to go skiing. Then we got our skiing gear and went for it out on the ski flied. We had lots of fun but then we had to go.

The science of a pendulum

In our class we have been doing experiments with pendulums there is two of them. here is mine.

How mass affects the swing of a pendulum

Question:

How long does it take to stop swinging depending on its mass.

Aim/Hypothesis:

We think that objects with more mass will go for longer

Results 

This is how long it took for each of the objects to stop singing.

Bottle 2 mins 59 secs . 63

Microphone   2 mins 48 secs . 98

 Blue pen 2 mins 7 secs.40

Highlighter 2 mins 41 secs.19

Conclusion: It is true objects with more mass do swing for longer.

Here is my second one when we did painting with pendulums.

Aim/Hypothesis: 

Our hypothesis was that it was going to be easy to make a pendulum
painting device. Our aim was to make one.

Results:

First we tried using paint but it didn’t work because it was too watery.
So we tried again but the hole was too small. So the paint was to thick
to fit threw the hole or we are just unlucky. We tried to make a bigger hole
and the paint was still to thick. So we tried flour and it didn't go through the
funnel so we gave up.

Conclusion:

In the end our hypothesis was wrong and we didn’t achieve our aim nothing
worked. Maybe next time we could plan more and come up with a better mix.

Miranda Jane Art

In our class we have been making art that is inspired by Miranda Jane. Here is mine and one of hers.

The things that are the same are; there are lots of different sections, the outlines are black and they are both landscapes.

Brunner mine site

In our class we have been making a presentation about mining logging or shipping in our area.

Here is mine

Work interview

Recently we have been interviewing people in our local community about there work. Today we interviewed Jarred here is my reflection. 

I think that it was interesting learning all the jobs that I didn’t know that he did. I also think that it would have been cool to work for the air force and boring blinking the eyes of the puppet fish on a kids TV show.
