Egg Drop Challenge

 Hi everyone, in science Jaren Elias & I made an egg lander to protect the egg from breaking as we dropped it from the balcony. Our egg didn't break so that was good.

We used different materials like kebab sticks, popsicle sticks, paper, foam pads, rubber bands, string and tape. 

I think the parachute helped because of air resistance, the air will get trapped under the parachute and there will be more air pushing up that is why it is slowed down. The foam pads were also a nice help to absorb the impact.

Here is a video of the egg drop.

Sunken Forest Bookmark

 One of our activities for sunken forest is a bookmark for it. It has the eel picture from my previous blog post on it.

One of our activities for sunken forest is making the giant eel named Elsa, here it is.

Gravity

 1. Is gravity the same on all planets? No, it depends on the planet's mass. Venus has similar gravity as Earth because it almost has the same mass and size as Earth. Jupiter has such a strong gravity that it will pin you to the ground if you go there.

2. How is gravity related to mass? The more mass a planet has, the stronger it's gravity will be.

3. Which planet would you weigh the most on? Weight is the amount you are being pulled down by gravity. You would weigh over two times more in Jupiter because of it's strong gravity.

4. How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with a higher gravity than a lower gravity? You might be stronger on the planet with higher gravity because you are always exposed to heavy things. I think it will be harder to live on a high gravity planet than a low gravity planet. If you were on a lower gravity, you might need things to pull objects down to prevent them from flying away.

Perseverance Rover

 In Hurumanu 3, we were doing research about the Perseverance Rover and did writing about it.

Freeze frames

 

Last week in drama we were doing freeze frames in groups of five and we were doing it about the bully script. We also learnt some techniques.

Techniques:

Levels - Someone can be sitting down, another can be on their knees and one can be standing up.

Spacial relationships - If two people are next to other and one person is far away from them then it looks like they are being left out but if everyone is together it looks like they are friends.

Facial expressions - How you are feeling shown on your face and it needs to be exaggerated because in freeze frames you can't talk.

Gesture - Gesture is your actions.

Navigation In Space

 Today in science we learnt about space and these are some questions we answ

Business & Enterprise Kete

 Business & Enterprise

For the past 3 weeks we have been involved in the Business & Enterprise Kete.

 

My role in this has been a Marketing Manager and I was in charge of all the advertising and pricing of our product.

 

My company was called JKCI Cookies, we combined the first letters of the people in our company which is: Jaren, Kareem, Corbyn, Isaiah.

 

Our product was Brown Sugar Cookies.

 

My reflection on how the business went overall is we did great because we managed to sell all of our cookies and make a profit. Not many people were buying at the start, but then we made a sale and halved our prices to $1 for large cookie, 50c for a small cookie.

 

My reflection on the overall Business & Enterprise is it was very fun to sell the cookies and it is a cool way to understand how a business works.

Multiplying by 10's, 100's, 1000's

 Hey everyone, here I have made a slide presentation for my maths. This is a multiplying strategy for 10's 100's and 1000's

Emotional Awareness

In the last two weeks we have looked at Resilience - Emotional Awareness (understanding emotions) and Impulses. These things mean that impulses are the ability to control our behaviour and it is important to control

Being able to control my emotions in different situations avoids getting in trouble, getting mad at people or getting into fights.

Knowing how to react and respond in situations rather than acting on impulses means that you would think and react more positively. 

The effect that these things have on my Social Wellbeing is that if we can control our emotions then we can have better connections and relationships with other people.

Growth Mindset

To me growth mindset means showing resilience and think of things in a more positive way. Fixed mindset is when you think negatively and give up easily

I try my best to take on a challenge like a hard math question and use different strategies if one doesn't work.

I experienced fixed mindset when I was playing a game and it was hard to get something so I just gave up.

To make sure you have growth mindset when you are about to give up you should just keep trying and think positively.

Celebrating Independence Day

Arbor Day

Arbor Day

Tomorrow (Friday 5th of June) is New Zealand Arbor Day. Arbor Day is about planting trees and it is usually celebrated in spring so the date might be different for other countries. The first Arbor Day was celebrated in April 10, 1872 in Nebraska City and there were approximately 1 million trees planted.

At school we planted plants and trees outside, Jaren, Isaiah and I planted a tree together. Trees are important because they give us oxygen.

Did you know that arbor means tree?
