My Holiday Writing

A Day Of My Life!

O.M.G. Today is going to be soooooooo boring. Here is a list of events that I know we’re doing. 1st on the list is my cousin is coming over, 2nd on the list is my sister is getting a new pair of glasses, 3rd on the list is that we go home. I am super excited to get it all over and done with. Ok, that might have been a little bit of exaggeration, so let’s just get back to the story. As I was saying that today is going to be soooooo boring, my cousin shows up with a pair of shorts in his hand, but I didn’t think anything of it. I thought he had them just incase the rain stopped even though it wasn't going to, but I didn’t think of that at the time. But then he went and got changed into them. That made me more curious on why he had them, then we went out to the car.

As we were driving past the school on waterloo road I thought we were going to get my sisters glasses but then my mum turned left onto carmen road, and then into Mega Air. my brother and I went crazy because we never knew, but everyone else knew. Then they explained why they didn’t tell us. We understood after a while. As we walked into Mega Air and I saw the lady that liked my cat onesie, that I was wearing the last time we came here. We got guided through to the safety check room, where we watched a safety video, like normal, and then we got into it.

My sister, my cousin, my brother and I all stuck together for just about the whole time. But the first thing we all went and did was the massive airbag, that used to be a foam pit full of foam cubes. It was changed because a child broke a bone in it. We went to the boxes were my mum took photos of us bouncing down them in height order. The last thing we did was the half pipe (which is a little trampoline strip down the middle with 2 trampolines on each side on a 70 degree angle.) We would take turns at bouncing down the walls of the pipe and then all the way back but then it was time to go after an hour of bouncing and having lots of fun.

Now we were off to get my sisters glasses at specsavers so her sight wouldn’t be fuzzy. Her eyes were shortsighted, but then they over corrected and are now long sighted which is a bummer. So my cousin, two little brothers and I had to wait in the car for them to get back which took like 10 minutes.

But then I got a big surprise when my mum took me shoe shopping, YAY! It only took like 15 minutes to do, only because the shoes I wanted in my size were stocked up the top, so my mum made me run to the other side of the store to ask someone to get a ladder so we can get them. Sadly it wasn’t the 1st time I had to do that either. The shoes I got were, H&H hightops. Which I love. On the way back to the car I was dying to put them on but I had to wait until we got to the car. But I put them on at home because I couldn’t be bothered trying to put them on in the car.

At home my cousin and I played Skate 3 and other games until he had to go home.
That was a good day after all.

The End!

Poem Writing

I am a cake, i don’t want to be baked, because my baker is a fake, he got stabbed with a garden rake, he now has a terrible ache, he can only dance as good as that singer drake.
I wish i could be a piece of steak, how much longer can this guy take. He is taking hours, he must be smelling flowers,
He can’t have any powers.

I’m going to die, i’m starting to cry, i can not lie, he is an evil guy, i guess it is time to say bye.

Lorax Movie

When we watched the movie we were told to to think of some questions.
-What was the message in the movie?
-What was you favorite part of the movie?
-What can you do to save our world and why?
Here are my answers to the questions.

The message i got from the movie was, if no one cares about the problem nothing is going to get better.
My favorite part of the movie was at the end were they sing the song (Let it grow).
Image result for LoraxIf i was going to save the world i would try to stop the people from destroying nature and the planet we  live on.

Persuasive Letter Writing

Here is my writing. this term we were learning about persuasive writing, so our goal was to write a letter to someone about a problem we have had here is what I writ.

Dear: Mum

I am writing this letter Because, Bryce is really annoying and I want him to stop but he won’t listen to me. Can you do something about it?
I feel frustrated at Bryce when he is doing all of these three things below, Separately or together.3

  • 1: He doesn’t listen because he has his chromebook sound too high or he just doesn’t listen in the first place.
  • 2: Bryce will just keep asking for something until he gets it or he will go off and throw a big tantrum.
  • 3: If I tell him something to help him when he has been told off he will yell at me, punch me or like in the first thing, he won’t listen.
I will explain it in more detail further down the page.

P1: My first reason. Bryce will never listen. Sometimes he can’t hear us because he has his chromebook volume up or he is too addicted to it. Or Bryce just doesn’t want to listen because he is annoying me or he is trying to get attention. The last thing for this reason is that when ever he is carrying Thomas my little brother around and he holds Thomas in awkward ways and he hurts him, but he won’t listen to me and put him down because he wants to do it himself. This is one of the things I want him to stop.

P2: Reason 2! Bryce is that kind of person that he will ask for something until he gets it. Sometimes he acts like a spoilt kid but when he doesn’t get what he wants he will throw a tantrum and cry about it, or he won’t communicate with us for like an hour. Bryce can be a pain but when he get’s told off we all get the punishment because bryce lies so he can get it his way, so you guys believe him as well as me so we both get in trouble.
This is something that really annoys me.

P3: Reason 3! After we all get told off I try to give him some information about what he could do so he doesn’t get told off as much or at all. But like in the first paragraph, he doesn’t listen, he tries to punch me or hurt me in any way or he yells at me and then I get in trouble for apparently doing something to annoy him. If he hurt me he only gets in even more trouble and gets told to stay in the room for longer.  If bryce would listen to me he might even get further in life. So please help me sort out his attitude.

Therefore I have a strong opinion about Bryce.  As we all know that he doesn’t listen because of his chromebook. He will always ask for something until he gets it, and he get’s told off too much. So hopefully you can help me make this change too his attitude after you read this.

Your sincerely: Aiden

My Writing Explanation

This is our explication writing that we did on scooters. half of us was with scooters and the other half was against scooters. this is what I writ.

Dear Mr Sutton

In my opinion, we should not be able to use scooters at Hornby High School because it is to dangerous for other people at morning tea and lunchtime. That do or don’t have scooters incase you hit them. Don’t you have the feeling that scootering around the school is really dangerous?
Also Your scooter might even get stolen as well and There's no rume to put them in class.

The main reason that we shouldn’t have scooters at school is because there are too many hazards like the redevelopment, with all of the construction going on, there are also lot’s of stones on the paths around the school. If you think of it, there is also a pretty massive chance that you will Crash into other students with or without scooters aswell, because you might be racing someone or you might also be having a game of S,C,O,O,T which is a game where you do a trick and then the other person has to do the same trick and you take turns in that game you might get really hurt.

The second reason is there is no where to put them when you get to class. Even if you do put them in class, there will be no rume and you might get too distracted by them when you are trying to do your work. Like if you are in science, and you are doing an experiment and you might get distracted and you might get distracted and put the wrong thing in and it explodes. Also there is a high safety hazard, in case there is a fire and you will need to get out fast, you might trip over the scooters and injure yourself.

The last point is that you might have your scooter get stolen by other students that would probably be jellicious of it. Also students that you didn’t let them have a go. Your scooter might also be a really expensive. For example you are doing tricks and another student wants a turn and you don’t let them and then you let your friend have a turn, then they might get a little jellicious and they might take it too have a turn. Also you might forget it in class if you take it too class, and then someone might claim it as theres. After they have stolen it they will probably take it home and change the parts and then you won’t recognize it as yours.

I Think Hornby High school should not have scooters because it is to dangerous and there are too many risks that your scooter will be stolen, you might hurt someone or you might fall off because of the construction.
This is why I don’t think scooters should be used at Horny High School.

Thank You for reading my opinion,

From Aiden

My Atmosphere Exploration {Draft}

In this Explanation, I will be teaching you about one of the the spheres. I think you guessed it, I will be teaching you about the atmosphere. I will also teach you some sites you can go on so you can get more facts about the atmosphere, The atmosphere has 5 layers, but I will only talk about 4. Also they might answer some of the questions that you have had stored in your head for a very lone time. But now I will stop talking and let's get right into the layers.
Paragraph 1

 1st layer is the Troposphere. Troposphere is the lowest layer of the Atmosphere where all the weather occurs and extends 4-10 miles above earth's surface. The temperature decreases the higher you get. The Troposphere is where most of the oxygen is. This layer is were we are and were everything lives. this layer works with all the other spheres./

Boat Problems (DRAFT)

Boat Problems
“Come on! start already.” We were not wanting this problem, but of course it had to happen today. Ooo and by the way I am talking about my grandads boat. It just doesn't want to start. I could see this coming from a mile away.


We finally get the boat to start, only after like, half an hour (30 minutes) of flooding, choking the engine and using starter fluid. We hook the truck up to the trailer so we can take it down to the marina to set sail onto the Cook Strait, so we could go and fishing and hopefully catch some snapper. But don’t worry we still had more horrible luck coming, like right now. As grandad pulls out onto the other side of the road while we are waiting for my auntie and her boyfriend, I realised one of the trailer tires are flat, great more problems. Grandad isn’t happy already, you can hear it in his voice. He has to walk back across the road to get the air compressor so we can pump up the tire. But with that we need an extension cord running from the bathroom power socket, leading halfway up the driveway, so we can plug the air compressor in and pump up the tire on the other side of the road. That only took us around another 5-10 minutes so that worked magnificently, NOT.
This day is as bad as my dance moves.


Ok finally, we drive down to the marina to launch the boat, also no more problems, so far. It only took us like 10 minutes to figure out how to launch the boat but we got there in the end. By the way the Picton marina is a dazzling place. There are lots of fish and some huge stingrays gliding on the bottom looking for food. In the mirena there is a bridge that goes over the entrance and exit of the marina. There is also a glorious view from on top of that bridge, where you can see the Interislander and the Bluebridge going in and out of the sounds. As we cruise out of the marina going underneath the bridge we have to slow down because there is a no wake zone by a walkway surrounded by medium sized rocks.


Once we are past the no wake zone we got up to the revs we needed to get to our destination on time which is on the Cook Strait behind a Colossal sized rock poking out of the water. We are about ½ way there and still no dolphins because I have never seen a dolphin in person but we were going through a bloom of jellyfish, to be honest it was a great sight. A little bit further we saw a penguin. Just before we went out on the cook strait auntie had to go toilet so we went to the whaling station so she could go toilet. We slowly cruised in and then it sounded like we hit something, something pretty big. I started to panic, No Surprise. The first thing grandad and gary checked was the engine, it was. Luckily we had a spare little yamaha engine that we could use, it was as slow as a snail, it only took 5 minutes to get into the whaling station. We had a look around the whaling station and all the big machines that the people used to collect everything they needed from the whales. We walk back to the boat and have a snack and a drink and then we walk around the station again and up the stairs. To see what wailes and what the equipment was called.

Grandad and gary gave up in the end so we were going to head back using the yamaha engine.

Too be continued...

Paper Plane Sciance

4 forces.
Thrust
Lift
Drag
Gravity

Making a paper plane

Q. What are the forces acting on a paper plane?

There are 4 forces acting on a paper plane.

Image result for forces acting on a paper plane

Thrust pushes the plane forward
Lift pushes the plane up.
Gravity (or Weight) pulls the plane down.
Drag pushes the plane backwards.


Challenge:  To find a paper plane that beats the rest of the class.

Aim: I want to find a paper plane design that can fly the furthest and beat the rest of my class.

How can you change the forces from above to make the airplane go further?

  • Need to increase the thrust - to do this, i will throw harder.
  • Reduced drag 
  • Change air flow - add ailerons
  1. Write up the experiment using the Scientific method
  2. Record your findings on the chart
  3. Take a photo of all your planes and upload them onto your blog
  4. Graph the results in a bar graph.

Welcome to 2017

Welcome to 2017 This is a palce that I will be able to share my learning. so if you find any thing just leave a comment and let me know what I can work on Thank You.

Bouncing Balls

Aim:
I want to find out if there is a relationship between how high a ball is dropped from and how high it bounces up.

Hypothesis:
I predict that the higher the ball is dropped from, the higher it bounces.

Method:
The equipment that I will need is:

  • Bouncy ball
  • Ruler
  • Stand with boss head and clamp



  1. Attach the clamp to the stand.
  2. Clamp the ruler onto the stand so that the zero mark is on the ground.
  3. Hold the bottom of the ball on 50cm and drop.
  4. Record the height of the bounce measuring the bottom of the ball.
  5. Repeat the experiment twice more and record the average measurement.
  6. Repeat the whole experiment using heights of 60cm, 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm
                                      
Variables:

Independent (changing) Variable = The height of the drop
Dependent (measured) Variable = The height of the bounce

    Results:



    Height of dropHeight of Bounce carpetHeight of Bounce Tiles
    80 cm31 cm35 cm
    90 cm31 cm44 cm
    100 cm39 cm47 cm

    Findings: At 80 cm the ball on the carpet bounced 31 cm and on the tiles the ball bounced 35 cm.
     At 90 cm the ball on the carpet bounced 31 cm and on the tiles the ball bounced 44 cm.
     At 100 cm the ball on the carpet bounced 39 cm and on the tiles the ball bounced 47 cm.


    Discussion:

    Conclusion:The ball that bounced the highest was the meter on the tiles because of the reaction of the ball hitting the ground with momentum and because the tiles are harder than carpet.
