The Boing Boing Egg

The Boing Boing Egg

WALT...
- I am learning to conduct a fair test with a range of variables

We were put into groups of ether two or three people and find an experiment to show what we have learnt about fair testing. When we found an experiment we all agreed on we found the materials we needed to conduct the experiment. Once we did the experiment and had all our data we had to put it on a board showing what we did to do it. It was fun and challenging trying to count how many times the egg bounces.

Next Steps: Find a better surface to show how the egg bounces
What I Enjoyed: Bouncing the eggs that had been socking in vinegar for 4 days
What I Found Challenging: Gluing everything onto the board.

When finished work students should be allowed to play computer games

When finished work students should be allowed to play computer games

WALT...
- I can write two well devolved paragraph about my topic.
 - I can research my topic by asking a question, searching for sources and putting the information I have in my writing.

we had to write a persuasive essay on one of four topics miss Sutherland picked out for us, there was 1) Year 7&8 students should have an afternoon break 2) We should learn a language at school 3) We should have Summer Sport Tournament 4) We should be able to play computer games after we finish our work. i chose number 4 because I like playing computer games so i thought it would be fun to write about it.

Next Steps: research for more ideas
What I Enjoyed: looking up the pictures to show some of the games that are educational.
What I Found Challenging: writing the information I found in my own words.

Sometimes kids just want to play, a break from work. There are many games to play and some are

educational. Letting kids learn while having fun is a great way for children to learn, what do you

think.

When there is lots of work kids get bored. They would just like a break, a time to play games time

to have fun and enjoy themselves at school making them want to come. Sometimes they just need

to have time to play games to help themselves get back on track and continue learning.

Some games are educational but also fun making kids want to play and learn. There are lots of
educational games around the corner and lots of good ones like education academy which is a
game where you can go on adventures and compete quests by yourselves or with friends, you can
even customise your character to fit your personality.  

Playing computer games after work helps students learn more and want to come to school to learn

and finish work so they can play more games. So when they want to come to school it makes it

easier for parents to get them ready or get them to school and easier for teachers to teach

because the children can’t wait to start, it is very motivating, so they can finish and then play

more.

Research shows that games like education academy has helped kids learn while having fun and

parents are happy that they signed their children up for it. Education Academy is an amazing

game the helps children want to learn because they get to learn while having fun.

Now you can see that there are lots of benefits to playing computer games after work, thank you

for reading this essay.

Why an Electric Vehicle

Why an Electric Vehicle

WALT...
- I can write a shorter persuasive Post by making a claim and backing it up with reasons - I can plan for a longer persuasive post by identifying the topic, audience and genre - I can research my topic by asking a question, searching for sources, identifying information and paraphrasing
the facts.

We had to write a persuasive text on a topic of our choice. the topic I chose was why buy an Electric Vehicle, the reason why i chose this topic was because gas cars are destroying the environment and puncturing a hole into the ozone layer. I think this mistreatment to nature should stop and we can start by buying an electric vehicle.

Next Steps: add more information to persuade the reader more.
What I Enjoyed: researching reasons why people should buy an electric car.
What I Found Challenging: writing the research i found into my own words.

I believe that you should buy an electric vehicle, what are your thoughts? The reason why I think you
should buy an electric vehicle is that it cost less to run and because its better for the environment.

Electric vehicles are great for the environment because to charge the car you use electricity that
does not produce greenhouse gases other than gas cars that do produce greenhouse gas that
punctures the ozone layer. 

Electric vehicles are great for the environment but they are also amazing because of the pricing of
charging it compared to buying fuel for a gas car. The pricing of an electric vehicle is between 50,000
to 100,000 in NZ dollars and 3 to 10 dollars to charge taking between 20 min to 1 hour to charge
depending on the model of the charger.

Electric vehicles are made from lots of different dealerships like Hyundai and more. There are also
lots of new charging points that have been made for electric vehicle owners.there are some all around
Christchurch and one at the warehouse in the Rolleston square.

In conclusion, electric vehicles are better than gas cars because they are better for the environment
and cost less to run.

The Three Little Pigs

Walt...

There were three little pigs one named Charlie, one named Sam

and there big brother Daniel who was leading the fam

They were kicked out to feed for them self with nothing but each other for help

A man walked past with rotten hay what for

And Charlie cried out can I have some i'm poor

The man said yes the stock won’t eat it anyway

So he stocked Charlie up and gave the rest away

Charlie built all day and all night

Clickity clack he was all done

He had a building a place he can call home

His brothers asked please may we come in

And Charlie said Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin

So they snorted and snorted and blew his house down

And off They went homeless still

Another man past with wet and socked wood

And Sam cried out can i have some

The man said yes why not i don’t need it

And through it on the grass for him to use

Sam built all day and night

Clickity clack he was all done he had a building to call home

His brother asked can i come in

And Sam said not by the hair of my chinny chin chin

So he snorted and snorted and blew the house down

Daniel went off still homeless indeed

A wolf cried out are you alright

Daniel said no I have no home and i'm cold

So the wolf said come and live with me its nice and warm there indeed

So Daniel followed him down the road shivering cold

When there got there he was nursered up

Knock knock it was the door

It is my brothers he cried out scared

So the wolf grabbed a shotgun and said

Stand back don’t be scared

The two pigs barged down the door

And bang bang they were dead

Daniel found a home and a brand new friend

And he lived happily ever after in his brand new den.
