Wind Racer

In Science, we have been looking at Wind Racers, and our task was to create sails for our own one. I worked with Lauren on this project. We used a galleon ship as a reference for our wind racer. Our wind racer is called Kaze and we decided to use newspaper for our sails and bamboo sticks for our masts.  🦈🦈🦈. We secured our masts and newspapers with strings and sellotape. We also made little flags with a skull and the kanji for wind on it and added a figurehead of a lion named sunny.

Our plan:

our final wind racer:

Maths

 This week in Maths we have been learning about calculating forces and calculating acceleration. 

the triangle in the formula is the Greek letter "delta" meaning "change in".

Stencil Art

 In Art, we have been working on stencils. For my stencil, I referenced a stencil of a character from ONE PIECE, Tony Tony Chopper. I used this character as a stencil because his shilluoute is recognizable and I like his silly character, and for my background, I put cherry blossom trees because my character has a special memory of them. For my stencil, I just used a brown color and didn't use any special techniques, just normal flat brush strokes. For my Background, I used different shades of pink and dabbed my brush in different areas of my poster to create the effect of leaves, and white for the highlights. 

Maths

 In maths, we learned how to use formulae and kinematics.

Social Studies

In social studies, our class wrote an essay about technology from different periods and I wrote about 20th-century technology. This is my research below.

During the 20th century, there was lots of great technology that was invented during this period. Lots of these inventions were created to benefit World War one and two.  Some of these important inventions are Nuclear bombs,  World Wide Web, and Video games. Some of these inventions are still being used today.

An important invention that was made during the 20th century period was the Nuclear Bomb. The nuclear bomb benefited the United States during the second world war. While the war has ended in Europe, fighting in the pacific still continued between the Japanese and U.S troops. President Harry Turman called for Japan’s surrender with the Potsdam Declaration which was a statement called for the surrender of all Japanese armed forces in late July, but Japan didn’t surrender. On August 6, 1945, the US dropped its first atomic bomb in Hiroshima Japan. Even though it benefited the US, it caused a lot of deaths and injuries. This is why it is an important invention in this time period. 

Another very important invention during the 20th century was the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web was originally used and developed so there would be a way for scientists in universities and institutes from around the world to share automated information-sharing. A British scientist, Sir Tim Burners-Lee wrote the first proposal the World Wide Web in 1989 and the second proposal in the 1990s. By the end of 1990, the first browser and web server were first run at CERN. CERN is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. The World Wide Web is an invention that is influential and is now used everywhere and is very important.

The third important invention that has changed the world is Video Games. Video games were invented to prove that science is not only used for war and destruction. The very first video game was made by a Physicist William Higinbotham in October 1958. The first video game was a simple tennis game called “Pong”. Video games have now reshaped the whole entertainment industry and it is now considered as a sport called Esports. This is why video games are an amazing invention. 

In summary, the inventions that were made in the 20th century period were all-important as they have changed the world and created history, like the nuclear bomb, the World Wide Web, and video games. These are all still used today and have shaped the world we live in.

Maths

 This week in Maths we started learning about Forces and Motion. We first looked at the topic of algebra. We also learned about the rules of Substitution.

Dogs of Vastness

 

We have been studying Antarctica. We listened to a story about Nanook, a husky who was sent to Antarctica on an expedition in 1901. We then wrote the next chapter of the story from Nanook’s ‘Point of View’. 

As I arise from the sound of howling, I immediately got up to look for my brothers and sisters. I eagerly ran towards them to see what they were up to; Hector was singing his dog songs as usual and Wolf was chasing Fluff. No one bothered to wake up Hercules so he was still sleeping soundly in our shelter

I joined my brothers and sisters. We raced and chased each other, it was loads of fun! Until we were summoned by our guardian. They put us in a harness attached to the dog runs. I remembered two days ago, Hector told is that our pack will go to someplace called Antarctica. Antarctica, I wonder what it's like. Maybe it would have a huge grassy field where I could play, run and lay on. I daydreamed as we were walking to the ship called Destiny. I can't wait to see what adventures we are going to experience.

 I was really excited as we got on the ship that I kept running around and bumping into things. The crewmates laughed and so did Grandma and the others but Hector and one of the crewmen told me off so I quieted down. 

I stared and admired the glistening sea while white cotton balls filled the sky. My team was bickering and playing around while Hercules was asleep. It makes me wonder if he even woke up to get on the ship. I then kept imagining what Antarctica would be like. 

 The cold breeze brushed against my face as my fur swayed along with the cold wind. One of the crewmen yelled, "We're almost there!". My ears twitched and my eyes sparkled as I thought of the adventures that were about to happen and all the things we were going to experience.
