SLJ- Day 1 explorers activity 1

SLJ- Day 1 explorers

Hi readers today I am going to be doing day 1 of the summer learning journey which is based on exploring.

What we need to do is think of 10 food things we would bring with us out to sea!

Here is what I would bring

I would choose these items because a loaf of bread would last me quite a bit but if it expires I can just feed the birds anyway and the rest should last me because I don't eat much within a day.
And even tho I wouldn't have a can opener for the spaghetti I could use a rock to crack it.
Its not impossible!

I hope you enjoyed reading my post,

If you have any comments or positive feedback please leave them in the comments.

And while your at it name 10 things you would bring to sea!

1.  Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS

1. sellotape 
2. pencil  
3. pin  
4. 2 sticks (kebab stick required)  
5.   4 cups
6. sticky note

STEPS

1.   tape cups onto the cups        
2.   Then tape stick together to make a "+"
3.   pin cross to the rubber on the pencil
4.   measure the wind.

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.

• You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	field	20
2.	Old J block	15
3.	Old J block	10
4.	Tennis court	3

conclusion: Overall I found out what speed the wind is around areas of the school.

Wind

Hi readers,today I am going to be telling you about the woodwork we have just started today.

What we did today was:

-Read through the safety rules as a class about what we can and can't do.

-And get a picture given to us with over 22 issues that people are doing wrong. - how they are being unsafe.

what we had to do for that was circle whos doing what wrong.

Now what  think will happen in woodwork.
I think that we will make things like a basket and other cool things that are kind of like that.

Sewing!! ~Tech~

Sewing!! ~Tech~

HI readers, today  am going to be telling you about the sewing tech we do on tuesdays and fridays.

We are making "Drawstring bags"

First we measured our fabric and cut it out.
I did a front, back, pocket, and other fabric.

then we had to paint them.
Because our sewing teacher wasn't there we had a reliever teacher teaching us.
when we were finished our sewing teacher got mixed up with the templeton bags that come here for tech because they don't have any tech rooms.
and the front part of my bag went missing.
the teacher said she saw it and she told me what patterns were on it and it was mine but she forget where she found it.

If I could I would post photos but we didn't take any photo's.

 I hope you enjoyed reading my post, if you have any feedback or positive comment please leave it in the comment's!

Mental health (Drama/health)

Mental health (Drama/health)

Hi readers today I am going to be telling you about the topic we have been doing in Drama/Health class.
We got given questions to answer.

Here are the questions and my answers to them.

1. What is "Mental Health?"
Mental Health is your feelings or emotions

2. When I am: Angry, Happy, Confused, tired, embarrassed or any other motions I feel: When im angry I feel Tense. 

3. How do I deal with my emotions?: Talk to a friend, a family member or anyone else that might help.

4. Who is the best person to talk to when I am at home: Family or talk to your animals and play with them. And someone you trust because then you know that you trust them and they wont tell anyone else.

Example of when I felt any of these was: I was embarrassed when I was on stage doing a play when I was about 6 years old. 

Who is the best person to talk to when i'm at school? Why?

Your teacher, a school counsellor or your class/school mates.
This is the same "because" reason as the "Who is the best to talk to around home"

I hope you enjoyed my post.

Science Distance and behaviour of a paper plane.

Science Distance and behaviour of a paper plane.

A.I.M: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

Hi readers, today I am going to tell you about, the distance and behaviour of a paper plane with, a normal paper plane, a paper clip on the front of it, and cut out flaps on the back of it. 

• In our groups of three we will, make a water rocket and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In our groups of three we will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour. 

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	1.6	curved line
Ailerons	2	straight line
Paper clip	2.3	straight line

Conclusion: This was a fun experiment and I hope you get a chance to try it out. For my groups normal plane It went 1.6m as a distance and it was in a curved line. For our Paper flaps at the back, it went 2m in distance and went in a straight line. And with the paper clip at the front of the plane it went 2.3m in a straight line. I think you try this so you can tell me if you got a higher or lower score then me.

100 word challenge "but it was the wrong colour"

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the 100 word challenge we have been doing.

the teacher has given us a sentence we have to base it about and title it.

Here is my story I came up with.

But it is the wrong colour.

100 word challenge.

One sunny hot day, there was a festival with lots of fun
looking games, yummy food and more crazy cool stuff.
I wanted to wear 3 different colours.
Pink, Blue and white.

I wanted to wear my black pants,
“but it was the wrong
colour”
so I wore my blue pants. And I also found a white top
“but it was the wrong colour” so I had to wear my
white shirt
with a
blue and pink
“dream catcher” picture on it. Then I was ready,
so I went luckily
I made it just in time.
The
festival was such a blast.

(Science) Coloured paper

(Science) Coloured paper

Hi readers, today I am going to  be telling you about the Science we have been doing today.

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

What we have been doing is paper colouring with a few materiel's. 

Here are 2 photos.

Before                         After

The things you need are.

1. A cup,

2. A piece of filtered paper,

3. water-(cold),

4. 2 or more water based markers,

5. A ruler,

Steps to do it.

1. Get your piece of paper and put your colour on it at 1 cm. (any colour's)

2. Get your cup and put the paper in with the paper a bit folded over the edge. 

3. Put the water in. (be careful you don't touch the paper as your pouring it)

4. Watch the colour rise up the paper.

Conclusion: This is a very fun experiment and I think you should try it out. I have learnt that when the colours are in the paper in the cup with a little bit of water. The colour blends and it made a blue, cream, and purpley type of colours on the paper. Even tho we were only using black and green.

Building into our rubbish art.

Building into our rubbish art.

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about what we have added to our rubbish art we have been working on.

What we have done is add blue paint to the background and put grass out of cardboard on it. What we did to stick the grass on. How we made the grass is, we got cardboard then cut it so there is a pars for it to stick onto the cardboard canvas but made it so there is little pieces of cardboard sticking out and glued it on with hot glue. Then we ran out of glue sticks so we used white glue, that didn't work. So we stapled them and now it is staying.

Here is a photo of what it looks like so far:

Writing longer sentences.

 Writing longer sentences.

Hi readers, today  am going to be telling you about some writing we did this morning called "Lexia writing" 

What we did for Lexia writing was get into groups of 3 or pairs, then we made a document and shared it with the other person/people in your group.
Then we shared ideas and chose the ones we thought were good and changed the colour if each verb, noun and adjective.

First we started with a plain boring sentence and make it more interesting and exiting.

Here is what my group came up with:

We played a game for hours
