High Impact

Force:
We need force to make objects move. It could either be push or pull. Force can make things speed up or slow them down. e.g if you saw your little brother having a hard time trying to push a toy train, you would go and help him try to push that train and when you push that train down the track that's called force.Your using force by pushing is toy train along!


Friction: 

Friction is what cores a object to stop while moving. Friction is when a objects force is rubbing across the surface that its on, which normally makes it slow down or stop. e.g when your in a car and your trying to go up a steep road, but your car is getting up there because of the friction on the ground and the stones can stop this car. 


Potential Energy:
Potential Energy is the energy that you give it by adding pieces that bend and swirl so it collects up speed as its going. e.g say you were adding pieces to a marble run! Adding more bending and swirling pieces will gather up speed which helps the marble go faster and faster while rolling on the course.


Unbalanced Force:
Is a object that is not moving and stays completely still. And its also a object is moving and stays at the speed. Which is how they are both balanced forces. 
Forces that change the motion of a object are called Unbalanced Forces!

Recap of my term 1 art work!

Recap of my artwork 2017 term 1!

    First I drew some superheroes faces. I think that I did a pretty good job on                             these since I don't really draw in my spare time!

The second drawing I did was a iron man face. I actually really liked this sketch and I still do. I think I could of made it bolder so it really popped out.

The last drawing I did for last term was a remake sketch and is now painted of Lake Ellesmere. I didn't like how this came out because the shape of the lake is shaped for like a fish for instanced. 

My first weeks in 8Mt

I have really enjoyed being in 8Mt so far, I like it because I have a lot of my friends in this class. Plus a lot of other pairs I have met! We have been working on Reading, Writing, Maths and Kete plus other activities.

So far in reading we have been doing a bunch of reading tasks which means we have to break the story down. And put it into character webs and other things like how I thought about the story and interesting news reports. 

For writing the whole class had to write on how a orangutan looked and felt in the picture. And then we had to give feedback and our thoughts who we coached!I have really enjoyed this process.

For maths we have been given heaps of tasks sheets we have to full out that include things like pie graphs and stem and leaf graphs! 

In kete we have been learning about Kupe and the giant Wheke, and later on some other Maori legends. I enjoy this because I get to learn a lot about the Maori culture.

Pe 2017

Tuesday the 14th 8RC and 8MT had Pe together.....

I enjoyed shot put because I learned a new technique called shoulder to elbow, that helps me push the shot put up with all my strength.

I didn't dislike any of these challenges, and I was super happy with how I went.

Reflection
I have really enjoyed this experience because I get along with all my pairs in this class and I am all about my culture and expressing that. I definitely have learned from my mistakes along the way. Next time I will work on taking my time and be a bit more careful while painting.
