Math

this week in maths we just worked on forces and motions

Wind racers

Today in science we are making wind racers for the next four periods. So I will be updating this blog as we go through this. 

Method:To make adjustments to the cart so it can blow further when we use the wind or the leaf blower, for this to work we need to make a big one and make sure the wind blows it perfectly. 

Design: We are going to make a wide triangular sail for our wind racer, We will use newspaper to make a triangular sail, we will also use sticks, strings/rubber bands for support.

Equipment:

• New paper
• Sticks 
• Tape
• Hot glue
• Pieces of wood 
• Pole
• Rubber bands or strings

Today in science i started making our sail. Stitched it with string and and now it starting to come together. I've also set up my stand for where the sail is gong to stay. I will be reinforcing it with sticks and cardboard next time i do this. 

last week on Friday we had a test race to see what we could improve on our wind racers. That was really good for us and gave us some things to work on our wind racers. 

Home Economics (Food around the world)

This is what i did today in home economics.

Art

Painting Techniques: In art this term we have been learning how do paint techniques. The techniques we used were Gesso, texture, blending, and layers. Gesso's are a liquids that you paint and its a base so that the paint doesn't get through. Texture is the type of painting that you create. blending and layers is just combining a bunch of different colours together. These re pretty much all the painting styles that we used. 

Here are some of the art that i have created using the techniques.

Maths

this week in maths we have learned a bit about algebra and some other stuff that has to do with finance and numbers for bank and force of motions and calculating the motion.  

Home Economics Week 3

 Food has significantly in the last 100 year in New Zealand, such as how it was made and how it was produced. People hunted for their foods but now they, but now they get foods from the supermarket. foods will be packed and made for you with machines. machine and AI will take over some of the food industries meaning food gathering, food preparing and food cooking will be made by machines.
