Gymnastics

Today in P.E we did Gymnastics, today I went on the trampoline doing a bunch of sequence, although it was tough i managed to get through it, it wasn't perfect but i was proud of what I was able to accomplish in that short while in P.E. The sequence I did consisted in a bunch of moves, those moves was Tuck jump, 180 spin, straddle jump, bike jump, stomach jump, air role, stomach jump and a back jump turn and another back jump, we had to do this in one go. 

   

Science

 This week in Science we learned more about the layers and volcanos on the earth. There are four layers in the earth's crust, the thinnest and coldest layer of them is the crust. The crust holds the oceans and forms the continents below us, the second and most thickest layer is the mantle, the mantle is a thick layer made up of molten rock, the third layer in the outer core it is the second hottest and the inner core and is the hottest part of the earth. 

Volcano disaster 

Mt. Tambura is the deadliest eruption in recent human history, claiming the lives of up to 120,000 people. On 10 April 1815, Tambura erupted sending volcanic ash 40km into the sky. It was the most powerful eruption in 500 years. Upon entering the ocean, the force of the pyroclastic flow caused the creation of a series of towering tsunamis. Thanks to the enormous amount of SO2 emitted, the world experienced a severe temperature drop that led to global crop failures.

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.
