Summer Learning Journey

Curious Kiwi forgot to take his book on the over seas trip he went on. So we have to figure out how to entertain him. So I am going to explain a little bit about the book I am reading. The book I'm reading is Once upon a dork.

                             

This book Is amazing I love it, even though I haven't read all of it yet it is still the best book I have ever read. It does have its ups and downs but its a great book I really recommend it.

The one little part in the book I don't really like is the part where they don't tell us that Nikki has the Peanut Butter Jelly and Pickle sandwich that her little sister (Brianna) accused her of stealing, but then it was really funny. 

The characters in this book is Nikki, Brianna, Chloe, Zoey, Brandon and Mackenzie. 

Nikki and Brianna are sister's and they absolutely hate each other.

Nikki, Chloe and Zoey are besties, they tell each other everything.

Nikki has a crush on Brandon but Mackenzie also likes Brandon, But Mackenzie is a bully to Nikki and she makes Nikki's life miserable so does her sister Brianna. 

One of my favorite parts about the book is when Nikki and the Gym class go to play Dodge ball and Nikki gets knocked out With a ball then she wakes up and everyone is staring at her and she Imagines that they have cotton candy and lollies all over them I think its really funny.

Curious Kiwi I think I have a book Suggestion for you!

Cybersmart

Term 1 in cyber smart we were learning about smart learning.

Lesson 1 was about how we could use our smarts to protect our Chromebook. Lesson 2 was how do you create a unique and strong password for your google account. Lesson 3 was which shortcuts was most effected and how do you know? Lesson 4 was about who own the images online. Lesson 4 (part 2) what is the best way to increase my efficiency. lesson 5 private vs public information. lesson 6 right place right time how hard could it be. Lesson 7 what can you remember about what we have learnt. Lesson 8 coding 101 hands on no devices. Thats was just term 1. 

In term 2 we were learning about our smart footprint. Lesson 1 was how can you find out information about someone else. Lesson 2 was private information. Lesson 3 want to grow your audience. Lesson 4 who is social media for and why? Lesson 5 steps to create a quality blog post. Lesson 6 what is the purpose of a blog. 

Term 3 we learnt about our smart relationships. Lesson 1 blog comment sentence starters. Lesson 2 we are learning to reply to blog comments. Lesson 3 tips on how to be positive, power of words, dealing with haters and trolls and color your world with kindness. 

Term 4 we are being smart users. For the first few weeks we done the research challenge. Then we moved on to scratch coding and thats was a game of drawing and coding. For the last few weeks we have learnt about the summer learning journey.

My favorite part about cyber smart was learning all the different things about being stuff online. 

Bye! :D

Purple Cabbage

Today in science we are doing a purple cabbage experiment.

I was working with my friend Addyson

here is our document we had to fill out and it will tell you a little bit of information.

What colour do you think the white vinegar will turn the purple cabbage indicator? Light purple pink
color

Why do you think this? Because the vinegar is strong and it might get rid of some of the color.
Depends on how long the cabbage is in vinegar for.

What colour do you think the washing powder will turn the purple cabbage indicator? Dark blue

Why do you think this? Because it's not as strong as the vinegar so it might make it darker.

Method:

1 Peel off three or four big cabbage leaves and put them in a blender filled half full with water.
Blend the mixture on high until you have purple cabbage juice.

2 Pour the purplish cabbage liquid through a strainer to filter out all of the big chunks of cabbage.
Save the liquid for the experiments to follow.

3 Set out three beakers, side by side. Fill each glass three-quarters full with cabbage juice.

4 Add a little vinegar to the first beaker of cabbage juice. Stir with stirring rod and watch the colour
change.

5 In the second beaker, add a little laundry detergent and stir.

6 Take a photo of your 3 beakers side by side.

The one with vinegar turned light purple and the one with washing powder turned blue.

Science Roadshow

Today in the learning street we had a Science Roadshow. It was really fun and we got to do some experimenting. The first show we saw was the the fire and ice show. It started off to be about fire and ice, then we went to temperature and there was a metal hoop and it could fit a ball through it, then when you put it in liquid nitrogen the ball could not fit anymore. The reason is because when the metal is cold the metal got smaller because of it molecules and when it gets warmer it gets bigger because the molecules spreading out. Then we went on with experimenting.  

The people who were in charge of the Roadshow was Shane, Samantha and Dave they were the ones who done the experiments. here are some more photos :D

It was really fun doing the experiments I really enjoyed it :D

Have a nice day.

BYE!
