E.O.T.C Reflection

Last week my school went to E.O.T.C week. Sadly I only went to one activity, jelly park. The best part of the trip was just chilling in the pool with my mates because its something I enjoy. I enjoyed everything and there were no challenges. If we were to do this next year I would like to go Paintball, Airsoft and Mega air. Something i learned from this trip was how to swim better. In all, I had a great time and looking forward to next year.

Mars 2020 (Part 2)

The Perseverance Rover was sent to mars on the 30th of July 2020. The Rover was sent to mars to explore more about Mars. The Rover is not yet there but expected to be in 3-4 months.

Mars 2020, Mars 2020 is a mission where Nasa are sending a drone (Mars Helicopter Ingenuity) and a rover (Perseverance Rover) These vehicles are being sent to Mars to collect soil, rocks and potentially life.

The two vehicles will land in the Jezero Creator. It will be hanging from wires and dropped 6.4 meters from a Sky drone. The Drone is used to spot interesting targets on Mars. The rover will explore the Jezero Creator. 

The mission is expected to last at least one Mars year (668 sols - 687 earth days)  

 

Mars 2020

 Hi guys,

Today for science I have been answering a question about the mission to Mars (Mars 2020) And also talked about the Perservane rover and Mars Helicopter Ingenuity.

• What rocket did the perseverance use to get to space? The Perseverance was launched on Atlas V-541 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

• Describe the two vehicles that are being taken to Mars? Mars Helicopter Ingenuity-Used to scout interesting targets on Mars. Perseverance rover-Seek signs of ancient life.

• Where does the mission plan to land on Mars? The Jezro crater, because it used to be a lake. What are they looking for? LIfe, Sample of rocks and soil.

• How will the vehicle land without getting damaged? Get dropped with weirs from Sky crane 6.4 meters up.

Also here are some photos of the two-vehicle

Holiday

 

 In the holidays me and my pet tiger went to space. When we were in space we got trapped in a maze where we had to kill people to survive. I saw a blue vent so I reported him straight away. (BLUE WAS AN IMPOSTER-1 IMPOSTER MEMAINS0) I and tiger continue to do our tasks. While where in medbay I see white walk in. I already had a sus feeling about white so I quickly finish my task and run. I look behind me and I see white running after me, I get to the emergency meeting and tell everyone its white.(WHITE WAS AN IMPOSTER-0 IMPOSTERS REMAIN -VICTORY)

After that I built a big nuke and exploded the US, killing everyone and Donald trump

How to make honey.

 A healthy Beehive can produce 1 to 2 kgs of honey per day.

 

First, Bee’s look for a suitable food source. They dip their tongues in and scup out nectar. When the nectar is collected they store it in their honey stomach. When it’s in the stomach the enzymes break down the nectar into sugar.

 

After that, they bring the nectar back to the hive. They spew the nectar into other workers mouth. Each bee will chew it for about half an hour until it turns to honey, Then Bee’s put honey into honeycomb cells. 

 

Lastly, the honey is still wet so they fan it with their wings to dry it and make it more sticky. When it’s done they seal it with a wax lid to keep it clean     

 

Bee’s work very hard to make honey for us. (I like turtles)

Use algorithm to add

Hay guys this week I have been working on using an algorithm to add here's a little dlo I made to teach you how to use this strategy      

Racism in the pacific.

Hi, my name is Patrick, and I am a 12-year-old Samoan. In my opinion, racism means the world will never be equal. People will always have opinions and judgements on other people. Today I want to talk about slavery and racism. Blackbirding was used to describe the practice of coercing people to work as labourers, usually through force. For kids that didn’t understand that, basically, they would trick us into coming on their boats and then steal us and sell us to other countries where we would pick cotton and other products. Blackbirding was very common in the Pacific in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. The islanders were first introduced into Queensland in 1847 for employment on cotton plantations. By 1900, more than 60,000 islanders had been recruited in a manner that often amounted to kidnapping. Now let’s talk about Kanakas. Kanakas were workers from various Pacific Islands employed in British colonies, such as British Columbia, Fiji, Solomon Islands,      Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Queensland in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They also worked in California and Chile. ‘’Kanaka", originally referred only to native Hawaiians, from their own name for themselves, kānaka ʻōiwi or kānaka maoli, in the Hawaiʻian language.

Bok Choy

Hi,

Create a role

Hi, guys today I have been learning picture dictation for drama. Picture Dictation is when a teacher or somebody reads you something from a story and the students try their best to draw what the teacher is describing.

What is a picture dictation?

The teacher describes a picture, or sequence of pictures, to students who draw what they hear.

What is Role on the wall?

Role on the wall is a strategy that invites students to infer meaning about a character.

What is an Iceberg?

an iceberg is like your body so like the top is what people see and the bottom is what people don't know about you.

What is hot seating?

Hot seating is when you sit ad people ask you questions and if you answer with 1 word that means it's a finishing answer.

Here is an example of Hot seating.

That's all for today byee.

Finders Keepers

Hello everyone,

Today I have been reading a book called Finder's keeper this book is about dinosaurs in NZ. In the book, it tells you what dinosaurs are why they could have gone extinct. 

Lots of people thought NZ didn't have dinosaurs just birds seals etc, butt in 1975 a lady by the name of Joan Wiffen discovered the first dinosaur fossil. It was a small piece of a dinosaur's tailbone, she found it in a rock in the Mangahouanga stream in central Hawke's Bay. Joan and her friends found more fossils after that.

Not many fossils have been found in NZ most fossils found are little parts of tailbones, rib bones and bones from the forepaws. No skeletons, skulls or teeth have ever been found.

well, that's all for today guys I hope I have just taught you something Bye!
