Winter Themed Breakfast!!౨ৎ

✨ Sà-wàt-dii khâ Everyone!! ✨

For this Winter Learning Journey task, we had to make a winter-themed breakfast in bed for our parents 🥶❄☕🍽. We had to come up with creative ideas that matched the winter vibe, like toast shaped like mittens 🧤🍞 or warm porridge decorated with snowflake sprinkles ✨❄. It was all about being fun, cute, and making something that would make our parents smile 💙😊.

I made a snowman pancake with Nutella for the hair, face, buttons, and scarf. it looked so cute and tasted so good 😋🍫⛄🥞. I made it together with my younger sister 👧👧 and we had so much fun working as a team 🫶💕🤗. This was such a cozy and fun task. I lowkey wanna make it again just for myself 😂🥰🔥.

We had snow much fun making this! 😂❄⛄🎉

From your one and only favourite!! MWAH 💋

G-byeee! 👋🌟

✧・゚:* *:・゚✧Winter Learning Journey-Activity 1✧・゚:* *:・゚✧

My dream NZ winter road trip is visiting the South Island!! I heard lots of amazing stories about the South Island I also wonder what the South Island is famous for. Well let’s ask my best friend Google!! Wow it’s famous for its amazing landscapes including its mountains, fjords*,glaciers and its lakes. I am planning to go there for 5 days but I would need some friends to come with me I will be alone if I don’t ask my friends.

I already plan!! I am going to go with my sister Khaing-May, Kay Soi, Maraea and Falen. Although Kay Soi, Maraea and Falen are my friends I should tell Khaing May to text her one of her friends if she wants to come with us!! She said YESS!! Anyways we will need a places to stay, enough food and water to survive for the rest of the road trip!!

It takes 20 hours and 43 minutes WHAT THE HELLY ALMOST ONE DAY TO ARRIVE TO THE SOUTH ISLAND!! I think we need to rent an RV van for us to stay since it has all the supplies we need for the road trip!! So we have to stop a lot of time for bathroom breaks, gas, snacks stops and maybe even taking sunset photos. WE WOULD BE EXHAUSTED when we arrived.

We will need lots of water, food, our chargers, something to entertain us, just maybe pack whatever we need.

——————————————————————————————————————————————–

Kia Ora Everyone!! Welcome back to my AMAZING blog. In the next 2 weeks I am going to post lots of different things because it’s a 2 week HOLIDAY. I love holidays but I need to also blog too or else my blog will go dead. Anyways what this post is about is planning my road trip to the South Island. I hope you enjoy.

WLJ: Activity Eighteen

Acitivty Eighteen: Winter Energy Audit, Audit your home’s energy use. Find ways to reduce power bills in winter. Start your blog post with “How my family can save power (and the planet) this winter”.

For this Winter Learning Journey, I created a DLO explaining what I could do to reduce power bills in winter.

To save power for winter, I think kids and parents should have 1 electronic per person so that way it can reduce power bills. Having more than 3 electronics in the house can increase bills if used at the same time! One other way to decrease bills is that you can make an activity or a project  for your family.

Winter Learning Journey – Activity Eleven!

Mālō e lelei everyone!

Today I completed Activity Eleven for the Winter Learning Journey activities! The challenge was to find as many words as I could using the letters in the word “snowstorm.” It was so tricky, but luckily I got some help from one of my siblings. Together, we managed to find 12 different words hidden within the word snowstorm!

Some of the words we found were: storm, snow, torsos, now, not, sort, won, and more. It really made us think hard, and it turned out to be a fun and brainy activity!

I had a great time doing it, and I’m proud of what we achieved. Can’t wait for the next challenge!

Science Assessment Blog – Bottle Rocket experiment

For the assessment in Science, in this experiment, me and my partner, Taurae, built and launched a bottle rocket to see how far it could fly. The main goal was to learn how the rocket’s design and the amount of water inside affected its flight. The aim is by testing the rocket, and we wanted to understand how forces like air pressure would help it move through the air.

Equipment

  • Plastic Bottle (the structure as our rocket)
  • Cardboard (For fins and nose)
  • Tape
  • Scissors
  • Paper

Equipment for the experiment

  • Measuring tape
  • Water
  • Air pump
  • Launch pad

Method

  • Add some water to the designed rocket.
  • Place it onto the launch pad.
  • Pump air into the bottle until it launches.
  • Measure how far the rocket flew/time how long it is in the air for.
  • Launch it a few times to compare.

To work out the average speed, we will use this formula below.

Speed = Distance/Time

Since my distance is 6.3m and my time is 1.5 secs, it’ll be like this.

Speed = 6.3m/1.5s = 4.2m/s

This means the rocket flew at an average speed of 4.2 meters per second. Improving the rocket’s design can help increase this speed and make the flight better.

Discussion

We also looked at the forces that made a bottle rocket fly. When the rocket launches, water and air push it up, while gravity and the air pulls it down. These forces are not balanced, so the rocket moves. At the start, the push from the water and air is very strong and makes the rocket fly up. Then, gravity and air resistance get stronger and slow the rocket down until it falls back. Results might be different for everyone because rockets can be built differently and use different amounts of water and air.

Me and my partner, Taurae, had created a beautiful rocket and was almost done with it. The next day, it unknowingly disappeared and so we had to create another one with another bottle last minute. Since we only had a few minutes, the rocket was unfinished and rushed. Because of this, I had to use a different rocket that wasn’t finished completely, so my rocket didn’t fly well and didn’t go very far. The pictures are not available since the bottle we ALSO used disappeared, so we’ll use our friend’s rocket for an example! Our first created rocket is very similar to theirs but in different colors and creations all over the bottle.

Conclusion

Even though my rocket didn’t fly well, I learned that building the rocket properly is very important. It was still fun to create a rocket that was useless in the end and I had to make one last minute with my buddy. Next time, I will make sure to prepare better and not lose my bottle rocket again.

doc abc first aid

malo e lelei

If you don’t know the doctor abcs this is what it means The term “Doctor ABCD” is not a standard medical term or a recognized professional title. It’s likely a misunderstanding or a mispronunciation of “DRSABCD,” which is a first aid action plan. DRSABCD stands for Danger, Response, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, CPR, and Defibrillation, according to St John Ambulance Australia. It’s a mnemonic used in first aid to help remember the steps for assessing and responding to an emergency situation.

What are Atoms

malo e lelei

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, meaning they are the smallest units that retain the chemical properties of an element. They consist of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by orbiting electrons. Atoms are incredibly small, and many combine to form molecules, which then make up the matter we see and interact with.

Reading About The Orca

malo e lelei

I learned that the orca is the largest whales in the world and the orca name in scientific is orcinus orca. Should people be allowed to use boats in harbours where orca live? Explain your reasoning. Yes, people can use boats in harbors where orcas live, but with significant restrictions and considerations for the safety and well-being of the animals. New Zealand’s marine mammal protection rules, for example, require vessels to maintain a 50-meter distance from orcas and limit the number of vessels within a 300-meter radius to three.

WIND RACES | BlOG POST | NAITIK SHARMA

PROJECT PICTURES:-

                             

AIM:-

In science, I learned about how to balance the Land yacht & we need to understand how to apply the principle of physics and particularly those related to forces , energy and motion.

Here are some points I did on my land yacht:-

1. Investigating forces and motion

2. Understanding energy transfer

3. Exploring air resistance

4. Optimizing  Design

5. Developing problem solving

Equipment :-

Equipment I used for my land yacht such as Tape , Scissors , Cardboard , bamboo sticks , trolley , skewers and newspaper.

METHOD :- we got equipment’s from mr such as Tape , Scissors , Cardboard , bamboo sticks , trolley , skewers and newspaper

RESULT :-

Include = Distance / Time = Speed

                =  8.0/5.03 = 1.59s

The speed of the land yacht was 1.59 & our highest speed was 1.90

DISCUSSION

1. What are the forcing acting on your wind racers?

Ans :  The forces  i applied in my land yacht such us Gravity , Normal force , friction , Air resistance , Thrust and lift etc

2. Are they balanced/ unbalanced?    

Ans Yes, my land yacht was balanced because we were using newspaper and bamboo stick to balance it.

3. What is net force and how does this relate to the forces acting on your wind racer? 

Ans Net force = Sum of all forces acting on an object

 Balanced Forces mean that the opposing forces are the same size because of this, these forces cancel out. This gives us zero net forces

Unbalanced forces mean that the opposing forces aren’t the same size. because of this, there forces don’t cancel out. This gives us a net forces

4. What are the strength of forces acting on it at different stages?

Ans = The strength of forces in wind races varies with speed and direction, involving the pressure gradient force, Coriolis force, and friction.

5. How do the forces acting on the wind racer affect the motion of the wind racer at different points?

 Ans = Forces like thrust, drag, and friction dictate the wind racer’s acceleration, constant speed, turning, and stopping by creating unbalanced or balanced net forces.

6. Why do you think results may vary in the class? 

Ans = By learning style

CONCLUSION

How was your wind racer successful/unsuccessful and why?

Ans = My land yacht was successful because my land yacht distance was  8.0 and my time was 5.03 & my speed was D/T = 8.0/5.03= 1.53speed. My group was second in fastest one, but we got first position in creativity.

How could you improve it? 

I can improve it by studying about experiment or i can take some ideas from my teacher and friends

WLJ: Activity Three

Activity Three: What do you think it would be like to live in a igloo? What would you hear, feel and smell? Create a DLO explaining what you think that you could smell, hear and feel in an igloo!

For this Winter Learning Journey, I created a DLO explaining what I would smell, hear and feel in an igloo. I started first by using wordhippo for more powerful and understanding words that could help me write this out. This is what I wrote so far! I could feel the icy tendril slipping down my spine, igniting a shiver that coursed through my entire being, as if the very air around me had turned frigid and alive.

I can smell a subtle aroma of ice and snow, a crisp reminder of winter’s magic that stirred my senses and beckoned me into its chilly embrace.

I can hear a variety of subtle sounds that contribute to its unique atmosphere. The soft crunch of snow outside as the wind blows, the gentle drip of melting ice. There’s the faint rustle of tree branches swaying in the breeze, creating a delicate symphony with each gust.

ear 10 Forces and Motion Assessment Task – Wind Racers

Include the following in your wind racer blog post

Aim: To make something that moved in the wind and it was like a wind racer. 

Equipment: String, paper, bamboo sticks, pen,  skewers , cardboard, trolley, tape

Method: When we got the trolley from Mr we started to design the trolley, we first stuck the bamboo sticks in each side or the trolley and then after we started to make the sides out of cardboard to cover up the sides, and then we made our sail out of paper and stabbed it through the bamboo sticks then we made a front part so that it would move faster, then we added cool things like a canon and a stick poking out of the thing.

Results: Include distance/ time recordings, your speed calculation, and picture.

 

Distance travelled (m) Time taken (s) Speed calculation (ms-1)
8.0 5.5 1.07 ms-1

Discussion:

  • What are the forces acting on your wind racer? Friction and Thrust
  • Are they balanced/ unbalanced?  Unbalanced
  • What is net force and how does this relate to the forces acting on your wind racer? it accelerates, decelerates, or maintains a constant speed
  • What are the strength of forces acting on it at different stages? thrust was happenig when the air blew against the sail and it moved forwards.
  • How do the forces acting on the wind racer affect the motion of the wind racer at different points?,the wind’s thrust overcomes friction, causing acceleration
  • Why do you think results may vary in the class? Because we made it different

Conclusion:

  • How was your wind racer successful/unsuccessful and why?  It was pretty successful because it actually made it the whole way which was low-key unexpected
  • How could you improve it? make it less weight so it would move faster.
