Beatitudes.

A few weeks ago was social justice week, so our teacher told us to create a poster about one of the beatitudes. The beatitude that I chose was, ¨Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.¨ The poster had to have the saying on it and pictures that were related to your saying. I enjoyed adding the images that I chose and choosing the font for the saying. I found it difficult to choose the saying that I was going to use because there were so many of them. For the task I had to choose a background, add in images, and add in the saying. I did my poster on google slides, but you had the choice to do google drawing or google slide. I hope you like my poster!

Pepper and water.

During our lockdown learning this task was all about science. We learnt about this really cool experiment with pepper, water, and dish washing liquid.

For this task me and my sister had to put water on the plate and sprinkle some pepper on the water. Then you put a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid on your finger, dip your finger into the water, and watch the magic! All the pepper should move to the side and there will be a big gap in the middle were there is no water. 

I enjoyed doing the experiment with my sister and watching all the pepper move to the side when your finger hits the water. The water monocles are strongly attracted together and when we add soap we break down this water tension and the water monocles quickly spread out carrying the pepper with it. If you add less pepper it's able to spread out even further. Here's a link that takes you to youtube so you can learn about the experiment and maybe try it out at home.

5 fun facts about the paralympics.

This week for our lockdown learning we have been learning about the Paralympics. The Paralympics is like the Olympics except it's for people with disabilities and difficulties. The paralympics was created when Sir Ludwig Guttmann organized a sports competition for British World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries in England in 1948. The paralympic games date back to 1948 when an achery tournament for 16 individuals in wheel chairs at an english hospital as part of the patients rehibitation. 

I enjoyed researching facts about the paralympics because I find the Paralympics very interesting. In this task the only thing I found difficult was finding the 5th and 4th fact to put on the google drawing.Have you ever seen anyone competing in the Paralympics? I find it really interesting watching the people competing and doing all the amazing things that they do with disabilities, it's really amazing watching them doing the Paralympics. Heres a link that takes you to youtube to watch and learn all the about the amazing Paralympics. 

The great escape!

For this week's lockdown learning one of our tasks that we had to do was a maths digital escape room. We had to click on the furniture in the digital escape room and decode the message by answering maths questions. We had the option to do this and I decided to do it but the questions were so hard I had to get my mum to help me with it.

I enjoyed decoding the message even though it didn't make much sense. For me the message that me and my mum decoded was maths mastce, which isn't a word. I found it difficult to figure out some of the questions because they were really hard. And the bottom of the slide some had the answer written behind 2 letters so it was hard to pick which one I was going to use, but it really depended on wether it made sense or not.

When you figure out a question you have to get the answer sheet and write the letter that you got from the maths question. At the bottom of the answer sheet there are letters with the answers muddled up with numbers and you had to type the letter next to the answer on the answer sheet. And when you've finished you should have decoded a message. Me and my mum did all the questions but we only decoded the first word, Maths. Have you ever been in an escape room? Digitally or reality. 

Fizz inflator!

 Today for our lockdown learning one of our tasks was to create a science experiment. Me and my mum did the task because our teacher said it would be really fun and it was. I really liked the part when the balloon started filling up. But if it filled up to much then it would pop.

For this task we had to fill a bottle with a tiny bit of vinegar and then use a funnel and attach the funnel to the balloon and fill it - not all the way - with baking soda and then attach the balloon to the plastic bottle, tip the balloon so the baking soda is falling into the vinegar, and then watch it rise!

I enjoyed doing the experiment and watching the balloon rise. I found it difficult to know when to stop the balloon from filling up so it wouldn't pop. I think the amount the balloon rises can be controlled by the amount of vinegar and baking soda is put into it. I dont think the size of the bottle affects how much the ballon fills, I think it only affects the amount of time it takes to fill the balloon because if the bottle is bigger it will take a longer amount of time because of the height and if the bottle is smaller than it would take a shorter amount of time. Here's a link to see the site that I got the experiment instructions from, theres also a video on it that you can watch.  

The great outdoors!

During lockdown we were set a task to do something outdoors. We were doing it because our teacher thought we should go outside because I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I like lockdown because I get to stay inside, sleep, watch TV, and play on my chromebook.

Me and my sisters decided that we would take videos and pictures of us jumping and playing on the trampoline because we thought it would be really, really fun to do something that we do everyday to put on my blog and my sisters liked the idea of being on my blog.

I enjoyed jumping and playing with my sisters on the trampoline but it was hard to get them not to say something crazy,  especially my youngest sister. I found it difficult to get to the tramp on time before the 3 second timer on my chromebook ran out and the video or photo started. I hope you like the photos. Sorry I could'nt get the video link for you to watch it.🌳 

The amazing race!

Before

  We did this activity for fun. We were doing it for       something called the amazing race. We did just for     fun, no competition, just fun.                                       For this task I had to get 10 books and make a   skyscraper out of them and only three of them could   be closed the rest had to be open. I thought it would   be a good idea to pile the 7 books open at the bottom and the others closed on top. Have you ever made a tower of books? You should because it's really fun. I really liked the way it looked when it was finished.

And after.

For this challenge I created an obstacle for me and my sisters to do. We had to hold a bucket full of water and do the obstacle while holding it.

First we had to jump over bamboo sticks, next we had to walk through blue mini soccer goals, then we had to go under the chair, then we had to tight rope on a broom, and lastly we had to run through a path made of bamboo sticks and run back.

We had to time each other on it, I was 24.40 seconds, my other sister got 33.80, and my youngest sister got roughly 31.85 seconds.

I enjoyed making and running the obstacle course. But I found it difficult to run with a bucket full of water.

Have you ever created an obstacle course?

We were to use the word geometry and make 10 words out of it. My words were:

The

Melt

Got

Get

Them

There

Thermal

Geo

Goth

Her.
