School should start at 10am

 School should start at 10am 

Teenager brains nowadays don't properly start till 10am. This causes them not to get as much learning as they should be getting. Also, this can cause students to feel weaker and not ready to learn. Proved by Studies, 15 per cent of NZ school kids are not attending school because they are too tired.

In the morning, kids aren't able to eat breakfast. With school starting at 8:30 kids have to wake up earlier just to have breakfast. This causes the kids to be moody and more Irritable. Academically, this can affect their learning.

If school started later, kids would be happier. They would have more time to get ready or eat breakfast. This would also encourage kids to attend school more regularly. This causes less stress for parents to wake up early and take kids to school.

Concluding my essay, I think people need to look more into this subject, and really think about what we could do or fix about this situation.

Creative Communities

 This week in social studies we have been forming political parties. For this, we have had to make a logo, slogan, policies, and a speech here it is. Our party is called the Creative Communities. We focus on kids' education, Climate change, Carbine dioxide, and oil companies. 

Here is our poster

Our Speach 

For many decades and centuries, People have been making world-changing stuff like the light bulb or the wheel. But today some people don't have enough ideas on how to reduce climate change. Vote for us and make a change to human minds, make them think on what ideas could change the world and reduce the carbon dioxide in the air or stop the oil companies from destroying the marine ecosystem.  All we can do for now is just to have a little courage and share it with the Hornby community and make many ideas to come. So I say Help, Change the world for future generations. Thank you for your time.

This has been really fun to do with my group, Loved the creative thinking. For next term, I hope to do more activities with my group and learn a bit more about Political Groups.

Science assessment

Today we have had a Science assessment, we have to find the definition of conduction, convection, contraction, and expansion. Also, we had to explain what heat causes.  

• Conduction - Heat can pass energy through an object causing the energy to pass through the whole object. Conduction relates to an experiment we did where we heated up a can with water inside of it. The heat heated the can and heated the water causing it to boil.
• Contraction - Heat can cause particles to vibrate and moving around and when it calms down the particles bind closer and cause the object to shrink. Contraction relates to an experiment we did were 
• Convention - When heat touches an object the particles start to move around throughout the object. Convention relates to an experiment where we put a crystal in cold water. The Crystal started to dissolve and spread through the water causing the water to change color.
• Expansion - When heat energy touches particles it moves a lot and causes something to expand. Contraction relates to an experiment we did on a ball and a hoop. When the ball was cold it could fit right through the hoop. But when we heated it up the ball got bigger and it didn't fit through the hoop.

• Conduction- Transferring heat by passing energy through a solid. 
• Convection- Moving heat by moving particles 
• Contraction- Getting smaller/leaving 
• Expansion- When heat particles exposed making things bigger
