States of Matter!

States of matter

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner or in a 3.

Give three examples of each state of matter?

Solid	Liquid	Gas
Linked together	Watery	Unseeable
Dense	Flowing	Fumes
Compressed	Runny	Smoke

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?

Solids	Liquids	Gases
Solids are hard	Liquids are water and Runny	Gas is unseeable

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading.

From this reading I learnt that everything and anything around us is made out of Matter. Every single object we see or touch is matter, Matter is atoms and molecules combined. This (matter) is anything that takes up space and has mass.

On the following days we´ve been learning about States of matter, solids and gas are different. The difference between them is: Solid is the hardest of them all, Liquids is the wateriest of them all and Gas is invisible and untouchable compared to Solid and Liquid. Reading about these three things really interested me and told me why it was watery, why it was hard and why it was invisible. 

Is Ebola the same as the Black Death?

WALT: Compare and Contrast the differences between two texts


This week we´ve been learning about weather Black death and Ebola are the same or not. To me I think they are not the same, ebola and the black death are similar but they do have a lot of  different things. I´ve learnt a lot of things about Ebola and the black death, they have a lot of different things that were unexpected. If you want to find them out look in the presentation that I have made above.

The Black Death.

WALT: Compare and Contrast


Today in literacy we learnt about The black plague and how it could affect other people, we answered particular questions and compared the disease with the Zika Virus. These both are kinda the same but the death is deadly to humans. Check out what I've found out!

Democrats and Republicans

This week we´ve been learning about Compare and contrast the differences between peoples views, for an example: Republicans and Democrats both have different views and believe in different things. Democrats want everyone to be the same, like they want everyone to have the same amount of environment, money and homes. Then the republicans think the poor should be left as poor because if they dropped out of school or lost all there money they deserve to stay poor cause thats what they done to themselves. For me I´d go for Democrats because Democrats seem more fair in ways and Republicans are just too harsh to people.

Sleep Sleuths

WALT: Apply the text
 
This week in literacy we are learning about How much sleep we need, we learnt about how older we get the less sleep we need. When we´re younger we need more and more sleep and as we get older when tend to need less sleep. I learnt more words in this text and had to answer the questions that had to apply to the text, My graph shows how yr 6 and yr 10´s sleeping needs are different. If you want to see my graph scroll through the presentation that is above.

How the Olympics came to be!

Olympics are a massive sporting event that takes part in different countries around the world every four years, they provide summer and winter sports. Athletes compete against each other to win medals for their nation. Top athletes around the world qualify to represent their country or nation.

The olympics began in 776 Bc (Before christ), starting off with the sport of running. Athletes could only run a 100m track, at the time only men were allowed to compete. Theodosius the first then announced that all Pugan cults were banned, Emperor Theodosius was a christian and abolished the games because the Olympic games were dedicated to pagan god and banned all pagan practises. 15 hundred years later in 1896 the summer and winter sports were then introduced and began to play.

This year the Olympic games are held at Rio, Brazil. Every four years a chosen country will help the Olympics, When a country holds the Olympics. The country will then get a lot of tourism and mediaworks. Rio Brazil had redone hotels, restaurants and the big stadium to a high standard. The owners of these places will get a lot of money coming in, this is similar to the Rugby world cup and the Commonwealth games held at a certain country.

Olympic games have changed over the past few years, such as more events, changes of the rules and much more. Back in the days Women were not allowed to compete or watch the olympic games only men were, at that time the olympics were only held at greece but now the Olympics are held in different countries. Also back in the days they had to compete in the nude, running with just a small rag covering there rare part. Olympics was also based on sporting excellence, Meaning you would have to be at least good at Discus, Shot put, Running, Jumping, Fighting/Wrestling and Javelin.

The Olympics 2016 has come around, all around the world are celebrating the start of the Olympics especially in Rio. I wish all the New Zealand athletes a good luck, especially my personal favourite Valerie Adams. One of my favourite sport in the olympics is Discus and she inspires me to push my excellence in Discus. I'm excited to watch her play and study her technique and position, imitating her skills makes me feel like I´m in the Olympics.

The class news paper!

WALT: Reflect on the text



This week we are learning about Reflecting on the text, this means what we think about what is going on in the text of our journal.

Where´s the baby?!

Where´s the baby?!

Once there lived a family of three, a beautiful blonde haired mom, A muscular tall dad and a regular cute little baby girl. They were a lovely family that lived in a multi million dollar home placed in Auckland, New Zealand. Emily the mom loved doing her work in the city and John the dad loved to stay home looking after his beautiful daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth was beautiful that everyone stopped by and admired her whenever the mum or dad took her to go shopping, but one person thought otherwise and decided to do something really dumb. This is where trouble came around and a lot of people tried to snatch Elizabeth. Emily and John had to be more careful with Elizabeth, has she could now crawl away.

One stormy night, Elizabeth was crying her head off. John and Emily ignored it like nothing was happening for a while but then couldn't take it in, John checked on Elizabeth but Elizabeth wasn't there! The window by her cot was smashed opened, John shouted ¨Emily, THE BABY´S GONE!¨ Emily rushed in the room and was shocked. Emily and John dialled the police, reporting a missing child. John was worried and felt guilty that he didn't check on Elizabeth any sooner. Emily ran to the car, and started the search for her daughter. While John called relatives for any help, this was an emergency. Emily and John were worried sick, and they couldn't think straight.The next day Emily came home, her face was pale as she did all her best to find Elizabeth. John looked like a walking Zombie up all night ringing relatives. They were both worried sick about Elizabeth, Emily and John did everything to find their daughter.

A loud BANG came from Elizabeth´s room, John ran in with Emily behind him. They found their daughters blanket on her cot with a note saying ¨If you want your daughter back, come to the alley way by your house tomorrow 7:00pm Only John can be present - E.¨ Emily did not want John to go by himself, but John just wanted to get Elizabeth back again. The next day, John thought about what he was going to do. Emily tried her hardest to talk John out of going by himself, but John didn't listen.

As time went by, it was nearly 7:00am, John got himself ready. Emily was feeling really nervous, John walked out the door and starting making his way to the alley way. As he walked down, John heard a cry, just like Elizabeth's one. John looked around but couldn't see anything in his site, John then saw someone standing by the gate in the alley-way. John yelled out ¨Who's there,¨ but no reply. At this time John was feeling a little scared, as he did not know who was there. John turned around and made his one down the alley - way, John kept on hearing Elizabeth's cry but didn't know where it was coming from. A loud BANG came from behind, John turned around and found footsteps in blood leading to a trolley. John was shocked.

John followed the footsteps to the trolley, and then found Elizabeth there lying dead not breathing. John was in tears, he then picked Elizabeth up and couldn't believe his eyes. John cried, he couldn't even say anything. He then got up and carried Elizabeth back home, John knocked on the door yelling out ¨Open the door¨. Emily opened it, and was in shock. John and Emily started crying there eyes out, Emily said ¨What did you do¨ John replied ¨Nothing, she was there dead.¨ Emily started crying with John, they were both broken. Emily dialled the police, saying that they have found the baby but she is dead. The police came over and analysed the alley - way, but nothing was there to find who killed  Elizabeth. The case was named ‘unsolved’.

Elizabeth had a beautiful funeral, she was dressed in a red bloomy dress and pretty flowers surrounding her in her brown shiny coffin. As her family relatives carry her to the grave family and friends sang a lovely song. A few weeks later Emily was pregnant with a baby boy, they named the Baby Ej, but that's another story.

Return of the Moa

This week we have been learning about new vocab of what we already know and what we think it is, also learning about the extinct of the Moa.

The Boy who Cried for Help.

 As school finished, Bob Waymar walked home all alone. Bob was upset because he didn’t have any friends by his side, he felt lonely. While he was walking aimlessly he stumbled across a set of four swings.

As Bob excitedly hopped on the adult swing, It dawned on him that he had no friends. But Bob wasn’t phased by this. He swung as high as a bird, Bob felt free as her felt the cold breeze on his face. Until he thought he could fit inside the baby swing. As he stood on top of the baby swing like king kong, he slid right through the leg holes, he swung up and down. Until he felt bored and his legs started to hurt, as he healed his way out he couldn’t get his legs free. Bob tried everything with his might, Bob knew that he was in a heap of trouble.

For the next few hours Bob sat there like big baby on the swing, with no one to save him at all. Bob then assume to himself, if he could yell as loud as he can maybe the neighbours will hear him. BOb breathed in and out and screamed “HELP ME.” No one responded at all. Until a crew of elder girls came by, the pack of girls stopped for a while and stared at the poor little boy on the swing. One blonde beautiful girl from the pack thought they should help him.

The girls did whatever they could to help them but they were helpless. A girl then thought maybe we could cut his way out, the girl pulled out her scissors. The girls all helped to cut the swing, lucky the swing was thin as cardboard. The cut and cut when Bob popped out like a fat bunny. He then got up with a rush and said “Thank you,” Bob then ran off with shame. The girls felt helpful and the yelled “You're welcome.” Bob was very ashamed of what he did, and never ever went back to the four swings.
