Physical Education - Gymnastic Sequences

For P.E we've been doing gymnastics for the past 2 weeks learning about different type of sequences that can be done with equipment or no equipment.

For my 3 sequences I did the floor and the trampoline

We were given 3 sequences from 1 being the easiest and 3 being the hardest I did 2 easy sequences and attempted 1 hard one. 

Here are my videos.

English - Collage

For English we had to make a collage of various stuff. We were given a list of stuff that pictures can represent.

Here is my collage

Science - Land Yacht/ Wind Racer

In science we are going to build a land yacht and then have a competition with them to see who's the fastest.

Aim: To make the fastest land yacht and win the competition.

Method: 

• Make Fins/Wings out of paper 
• Make a sail out of paper
• Use Cupboard as support

Results:

We came second but we could've came first if ours didn't fall over. Our time and distance were kind of close to first place but they could've been way ahead of us if there wasn't anything block their path.

Our distance travelled - 19.8m

Our Time - 15.1 Seconds

Our Velocity - 1.311

1st Place Distance Travelled - 23.2

1st Place Time - 18.12 Seconds

1st Place Velocity - 1.28

Velocity Formula - Velocity = Distance/Time

Discussion

This activity was fun but I wish we got more time to build so we can make ours the fastest.

Conclusion 

This activity was kind of hard because there are different factors that affect the balance and speed of the land yacht when your outside cause today it was windy.

 

English - Relationship Task

For English one of our post reading task was to write and talk about a relationship between two characters and to see how that relationship help us understand one of the two characters.

The character we chose was Inan and we came up with multiple things about him mostly negative though.

From what we got about Inan is that he isn't trustworthy and he isn't committed to his friendship as he keeps switching sides. Inan although is caring but the way he tries to work things out it never goes his way.

English - Children of Blood and Bone Incidents

In English we are looking at how an incident can change the course of the story.

Body 1 -The incident of Amari stealing the scroll and finding Zelie helped me to understand the idea of power of friendship to achieve goals because when Zelie and Amari first meet they are on bad terms but later on in the story they got to know each other much more and now they support each other which gives them the power to achieve goals. We see this in the text when Zelie says "I used to think you are weak,"

Body 2 - The Incident of Amari stealing the scroll and finding Zelie helped me to understand the idea of power of friendship to achieve goals because when Zelie feels hopeless about restoring magic because she couldn't feel her magic, but Zelie talks to Amari to express her worries and Amari gives Zelie some encouragement to ease her worries. 

English - Essay Pre-Planning

For English we've have been doing a sort of reflection on the book Children of Blood and Bone. We've been given some questions to answer.

1. What is going to be my 'key event'?

My key event was the solstice where they had to bring magic back.

2. Who is going to be my 'important character'?

Zelie is my important character because she has a really important job that she can't fail

3. What are 3 ways the character changed as a result of this event?

My character changed from being afraid to mad - When her father dies.

My character changed from being hopeless to ambitious - When she gets her magic back again giving her chance to fight back

My character changed from being accompanied to being alone - When she feels accompanied with the help of her mercenaries and friends until one of her family member dies again.

Social Science - Pyramids Research

In social studies we are learning about pyramids on how they are built and why they are built.

During Egypt times they discovered Mathematics, Paper and Writing. I think these discoveries helped them build pyramids especially maths. Geometry is what we use for shapes today but they could've also applied that to pyramids. Maths is something important the Egyptians discovered that has been used to this day that help them and us.

Pyramids were built with the help of lots of people and using technology during their time. Pyramids were built on stone and limestone. People back then had to carry heavy stones and separate stones. They also made technology that we have today but in a way we can't understand.
