Geris Game Short Film

Geri sat in the local community park peacefully waiting for his chest opponent to come to verse him.As Terry finally arrived he strolled over to the chest table as Geri greeted him.

Geri-Hello, I've started without you, Your turn.

Growth Mindset

 Last week in Wananga we started doing this google slide about Growth Mindset on this slide we did many different activity's.

Can experiment

Today in Science we did a experiment.

We used a can,element,ice cream tube full of cold water,scissor tong and a heat mat.

Hypothesis:I think that the can will crunch up.

What is expansion, what causes it to happen?

Expansion is when something increases in size.

Heat causes expansion.

What is contraction,What causes it to happen

Contraction is when something cools down and compacts together.

Contraction is caused when something is cooled down or cold.

The Piano

1).First piano was made in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori

2).Whats the first piano looked like

3).You have to press hard on the keys on a piano and its not electric, And on a keyboard the keys are made of plastic which makes it easier to press on when you play it and it is also electric.

4).What have you enjoyed about learning the piano/Keyboard? What have you found challenging.

I've enjoyed learning a instrument that i wouldn't choose to play but I've enjoyed learning something new.And I've found using two hands challenging.

Black Death Paragraph and Research.

This week we have been writing and learning about Black Death and this is my paragraph and research.

The Black Death is thought to have originated in Asia,But then travelled to Europe in 1347. 

The disease was likely transmitted from rodents to humans by the bite of infected fleas. The disease started in Asia and when the Russians attacked traders in Asia they caught the disease and they also lob dead people with the disease over the castle with a catapult to spread the disease to others. Then all the people who survived from the castle got out. They travelled on a ship to Europe which spread the disease even more.The symptoms for Black death were Fever and chills.

Extreme weakness.Abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting.Bleeding from your mouth, nose, rectum or under your skin,They would also get Shocks.They would get Large Black buboes size of an egg or an apple in their armpits and groin oozing blood and pus.They got boils all over their body from internal bleeding.They tried to cure themselves by drinking poison such as Mixtures of rare spices and powdered pearls or emeralds.They would also pray to St. Roch who is the saint associated with the plague.

 

100 WORD CHALLENGE

Today in Wananga I wrote a one hundred word story about the picture down the bottom.

I fell asleep and entered a dream, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to wake myself up from it.So I just went with it and waited to see what was going to happen.There was a little path way so I walked through it until i seen a  weird shaped thing standing on top of a rock.I was curious so I continued to walk but instantly as i seen the alien thing it turned its head and then it disappeared instantly.So I ran and ran onto the rock and the alien was nowhere to be seen.

Vegetarian Nachos

Ingredients:

Onion
Tomato (canned)
Beans
Chips
Carrot
Cheese

Method:
Chop up all the veges into small slices
open the beans and veggies
Brown the onions in a pan for 2-4 minutes
add the rest of the veggies and canned foods for 2-3 more minutes
Add chips to a bowl
Add the cooked veggie nacho mix
Add cheese on top.

We all worked well and did a equal amount of work.
It tasted really good but it was a little bit burnt. Next time I would take the nachos out earlier so it doesn't burn.

Conduction Stopmotion

Today in Science we had to create a Stop motion showing Conduction. My slide show showed conduction because when the particles that are closest to the pot heat up they start to move around which spreads the heats on to the other particles which will eventually make the water boil.

100 Word Challenge

Yesterday I had a piano lesson and I learnt a new song.I've played piano for one year and I think I'm getting pretty good, this song that I learnt is now one of my favourites because it makes me feel calm and happy.I also like this song because it's really easy to make and it sounds really cool because the sound of the song changes. When I came home my mum asked me what I learnt and I showed her on my piano and she told me that this song was from the movie Forrest Gump which was my favourite movie as well.

Slam Dunk Paragraph

Today we learnt how to write a Slam Sunk Paragraph

What is life like in the middle ages?

Interestingly,Life wasn't the same for rich or the poor.Rich people got to clean themselves whenever they wanted,They got to shower when it was needed or wanted. They Lived in castles and they got anything they wanted. Poor people don't get much food so they're mostly really hungry, they barely showered, they live in little dirty houses on farms.

This was important because it tells us what middle ages people went through and tells us that life was very hard for those who were poor but easy for the Rich people because they were given whatever they wanted.

100 Word Challenge

As I fell asleep I entered a dream as a snowman. I walked around a house that was in the forest surrounded by snow and saw two snowmen who became my friends instantly.They looked familiar. They were also clueless about what was happening. We all had no idea why we were there so we walked to this table that had three warm drinks. We sat down and introduced ourselves. I said my name was Bryce and their names were Liam and Noah.Then they told me their hobbies.We all sipped our drinks then we woke from our dream.

Pita Pockets

Pita pockets.

The other day in cooking we made pita pockets.

These are the ingredient i used

-lettuce

-BBQ sauce

-ham

-tomato

-carrot

-cheese

-Pita bread

Method:

-Cut your pita pocket in the middle bigger enough for your ingredients to fit inside.

-cut your ingredients into cubes or any shape/size you want before you put your meal together.

-Put your ingredients in your pita pocket.

-Then finally Enjoy your Pita Pocket

-What'd id do if i made these again.

I noticed that my pita pocket was a bit dry and was missing something that would make it more tasty.

To make it better next time I would probably add more source to make it less dry.
