Peacemaking poster

For Week eight R.E. We had to make a poster with the different meanings of peace.

I put in the things that I think mean peace. 

Stopping fights and other things similar to that can make everyone in this world our global neighbour. 

I enjoyed making my poster. I found understanding the different meanings for this challenging.

Is Mr.Wolf guilty?

For week eight we had to write about if Mr. Wolf is guilty.

I think he is not guilty because in his story he said that he put the grandmother in the cupboard because the grandmother did not open the door for him and people in the woods said she was very nice, so the wolf thought this was not the actual nice grandmother like they had said, so he went to look for the real grandmother.

I enjoyed reading about the wolf’s story and I found writing it out into my own words tricky.

Lego Zipline

For the last day of lockdown I chose to do the lego challenge.

 

The part I chose to do was the lego zipline.

The first zipline design that I did was a ski lift with a basic wheel that it ran on.

The other zipline I made was a crop dusting plane with tubes slid into the nylon.

I found making the nylon strings stay at the right angle tricky.

Escape house

 For lockdown one of our tasks was to play Kylah's escape house.

I found getting through every room and getting the answers right tricky.

Here are some screenshots of the different things in the rooms.

My favorite room was the one with the tarantula.

I liked Kylah's escape room because it was fun and challenging.

Double Experiments

For Lockdown we had a task to do.

It was to do two experiments,

One with ground peppercorns and soap,

And one where you have to float paper clips.

The reason for doing the experiment is to learn about water tension. You can see an example in the photo I took.

The water molecules stick together and don't break so the paper clip floats.

I found balancing the paper clip onto the other paper clip tricky.

Here is a video of attempt 127. AKA 5.

Egg Experiment

For lockdown one of our tasks was to form a bouncing egg.

First we had to put an egg in a cup of vinegar and cover it under the vinegar.

After that we had to leave it overnight and in the morning take it out and wash it.

I found trying to figure out how long to leave it in the cup tricky.

It was very squishy and slimy when we touched it.

It splattered and my cat ate it up.

I put another egg in for the weekend and will try again on monday.

Update: We left it in longer because we thought it would go rubbery but it broke in my mums hands.

Stop motion animation

One of our lockdown tasks this week was to create a stop motion animation. 

I tied some nylon to the plane so we could hold it in the air. 

I found uploading the photos tricky.

I learnt to use google photos to make an animation.

I enjoyed making the animation and watching the animation afterwards. 

The plane in the animation is a DC-47.
