My Shoe Life

• ༶•┈┈⛧┈♛ ♛┈⛧┈┈•༶

“Hello. My name is Red and here’s my life as a shoe!”

The sound of the door shutting excited me. I was finally home alone, the house to myself! I leaped off the shoe shelf onto the cold ground. I walked into my owner's office to see her lonely Chromebook. I used my imaginary strength and tried to lift up the lid.

I grabbed a colored pencil and shoved it under the lid. I moved back and started running, I jumped high into the air and onto the pencil. Up! Went the lid. I smiled to myself. “Ah, I have amazing ideas”

I signed into her Chromebook and admired the bright light coming from the Chromebook. “Where’s her speaker at?” I jumped off the desk and onto the floor. I walked around the house trying to find her speaker. “Oh speaker, where are you. This is so sad, Alexa play despacito”

Alexa: “Playing Despacito”

“Wait- I didn’t actually mean play Despacito”  

I carried on my adventure walking around the house trying to find her speaker. I was having a fun time until I reached… “The Stairs” My ultimate enemy.

Flight

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics

• In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record  its distance and behaviour

Definition:
The action or process of flying through the air

4 Forces of flight:

• Gravity
• Thrust
• Drag
• Lift

Material:

• Paper
• Paper clip
• Ruler
• Scissors 

Steps:
1.
2.
3.

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	1 meter	Swooped
Ailerons	2 meter	Curved
Paper clip	2.3 meter	Curved

Conclusion:
Today, we learnt about the four different forces. Gravity, Thrust, Drag and Lift. We then made different paper planes Normal, Ailerons & Paper Clips. On our first throw (Lily) it swooped and got to 1 meter.

Climate Change - Game

Reflection

What is Climate Change?A change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century on wards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

What is Game Froot? ( The site I used to make my game )Gamefroot learning packages bring together the art of game development with step-by-step courses ready to be integrated seamlessly into your curriculum.

Why did I use Game Froot?
Originally I was going to do an app and provide information, but at the same time I wanted to make an game. I decided

Hurumanu - Plants

Aim: To learn about the nature of plants

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each: 

Evergreen:

1. Blue Spruce

2. Western Redcedar 

3. Kahikatea

2. Maple

3. Beech

LEAVES

 

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.
