The Deathstalker Scorpion

Hello fellow bloggers!

At writing this week my group had to make a slideshow that informed other people about a insect or a bug, we were allowed to choose our own insect/bug and after a lot of thinking I chose The Deathstalker scorpion. At first I thought that was just a made up name but when I researched it, I found out that it was actually a real animal.

Here is the slideshow I made about Deathstalker Scorpion:

Whats your favorite Insect/bug?

Holy Week Create

Welcome Back Fellow Bloggers!

Last week we have been learning about Holy Week, and the Stations Of The Cross. Our R.E Create was to make something that shows the death of Jesus, I decided to make a paralaxx on scratch, If you don’t know what a paralaxx is, It means: The effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g. through the lens of a camera.

So bascically I made a paralaxx on Scratch (It was pretty easy to make on scratch). The Paralaxx lets you view Jesus carrying the cross up the calvary.

If you want to see it, here is the link to the project:

Do you know what Golgotha Means?

How Were The Pyramid Built??

This week in reading, we learned about the Ancient Pyramids. If you want to read about it too, Here is the Link  After that, we read about different ideas on how they were built. The one that made sense to me was about how the Egyptians moved the heavy stones by using big boats on the Nile River

The Egyptians may have used the Nile River like a highway to transport the huge stone blocks for the pyramids. They would put the stones on big boats and let the river carry them to where they needed to go. They probably built canals or channels from the stones to the pyramids.

Using boats on the Nile would have been a smart idea. It’s much easier to float heavy things on water than to drag them on land. Plus, the river was right next to where the pyramids were built.

Archaeologists in Egypt have found evidence of docks and places where boats could have loaded and unloaded near the pyramids.

Some other theories are:

The Ramp Theory:

Picture this – imagine a long, sloping ramp made of mud bricks or wood stretching up to the sky next to the pyramid. Workers could have dragged huge stone blocks up this ramp using sledges or rollers. As the pyramid got taller, they might have extended or twisted the ramp to keep building up!

 

The Mighty Pulley Power:

Imagine using big pulleys and levers like in a playground seesaw. With some smart balancing and a lot of teamwork, the Egyptians could have lifted those massive stone blocks into place. It’s like playing with giant building blocks, but on a pyramid-sized scale!

 

Secret Ramps Inside:

Here’s a sneaky idea – what if the Egyptians built secret ramps inside the pyramid? These hidden ramps could have helped them move the stones up to the higher levels without needing big ramps outside. It’s like having a secret elevator inside a giant pyramid!

 

Ancient Alien Adventures (or Not!):

Now, here’s a fun one – some people think aliens might have helped the Egyptians build the pyramids with super-advanced technology. But most experts say that’s just a wild idea! It’s way more likely that the clever Egyptians used their own smarts and hard work to make those amazing pyramids.

 

Soo.. How Do YOU think the Pyramids were built?

 

 

 

PBL W8 T4

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

 

These past couple of weeks at school we have been making our pbl project about our learning about soil, rocks, water, air, and life forms. I decided to make my project on minecraft because I chose to make an island and it would be really easy to make on minecraft. But first before we got into making the project we had to plan our create on a doc. It took me about a whole afternoon to plan. The next day I finished making my project in minecraft and I even named it Blocland.

 

Here Are Some Photos Of My World :

And after I finsished I had to make a blurb about my island,  Here is the link.

Have You Ever Made An Island On Minecraft Before?

Remarkable Rocks!

Welcome back fellow bloggers!

 

This week at reading we read about rocks, No not Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Yeahhh… that’s what I thought too. Ok anyways we read about rocks and for our create we had to make a poster about 5 diffrent types of rocks.

How Can We Be Champions Of Peace…?

Kia ora,

For the last four weeks of Term 3 we were learning about ‘How we can be Champions of Peace’ First we learnt about the different symbols of peace like dove, Yin-Yan, Victory hand sign and way more!. These symbols represent peace because they make you feel calm and peaceful when you look at them. The victory hand sign inspired me to create a Peace Artwork. My Peace Artwork represents peace because it is something positive. I put a picture below.

 

We also created a peace prayer book. I have linked my peace prayer book here.

I loved learning about peace because I learnt so much about different symbols and people who showed peace. I learnt that peace can help make the world a better place. I plan on being a champion of peace by being kind and respectful to my teachers and friends.

Science

Kia ora fellow bloggers!

In Science we have been learning about electricity. The teacher handed us an energy tube. This is a tube looking thing that when you put both your hands on the side it lights up and makes a sound

 

One of the experiments we did was: Squishy circuits

 

 We used playdough, clay, wires, a liittle light bulb and a battery.

 

 Before conducting my experiment I thought that the light will turn on as long as all the circuits are connected and I did everything right.

 

After finishing my experiment I found out that my hypothesis was correct because the light turned on when the circuit was conected .

        Source: Google…

Out of all the experiments We did, I really enjoyed doing this experiment because it was the Funnest.

Have you done a science experiment before? And Did it work!?
