Film Festival Commenting

Lately we have been working on cybersmart and stuff with latham, it is very confusing. We watched movies and explained them on a slide. We turned the stuff we explained into posts.

We also made a DLO which had comments about different aspects of the films that we watched.

Oobleck Experiment

(Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr Seuss)   




Question -  Is Oobleck solid or liquid? 

It is a non-newtonian liquid. Because it can change between solid or liquid. 




Hypothesis: I thought that it would be very much like slime but it wasn't. It was like slime but when it was solid, it was like dry play doh. I also thought that it would be a liquid because I have made it before but that was ages ago.





Materials:

1 bag of Cornflour

Measuring cup (1 cup)

Mixing Bowl

Food coloring


Step- by- Step Procedure 


First, Put 1 cup of Cornflour in your bowl



Next, put 1 cup of water in your bowl and mix



Then, Start squeezing your Oobleck until it gets tough

 


Last, Now you have oobleck





Observations;

This is what Oobleck looks like:






These are the tests you carried out you must answer each question with a minimum of 2 sentences (more would be better).

  1. How did it behave when you slapped it? When I slapped it it was really hard, like hitting ice or concrete. When you hit it fast it is harder

  1. What happened when you placed a blob of oobleck on the table and poked it after a minute? How did it behave? It spread out like water, but it was really thick. It was like The Blob. When you poke it, your finger slips through it. 


  1. What happened when you dipped your finger into the oobleck and slowly moved them around the bowl? It was like putting your hand in water or paint. It is also not so hard when you mix it slowly. 


  1. What happened if you moved them faster? It gets harder because it takes the atoms longer to get out of the way

 

  1. What happened when you threw an oobleck ball in the air? (Did it retain its shape or not?) it retains its shape 


  1.  When you pushed it how did it react? It would move and then spread out again like water, or paint.

 

  1. When you picked it up, did it all come up? Not all of it would come up because it dribbled down the sides of your hands when you picked it up. It also is hard to hold because when you hold it it turns into liquid. 

 

  1. What happened when you poured it? It would move slowly and dribble out. Like lava out of a volcano.

 

  1. What happens with the shape of it? It takes the shape of whatever is holding it. Also whatever it is in

Analyze Your Observations: First we made it too runny so trajun put a half cup of cornstarch so it was not so runny. THEN it was too thick so we then put some water in. when it was finished there was a HUGE mess, it took forever to clean  


What is your conclusion? The result was that it was a solid AND a liquid, which is a non-newtonian liquid. A non-Newtonian changes between solid and liquid.

SECRET HERO SAVES WORLD
Artists impression 
SECRET SANITISER SAVES WORLD

that stealth could be so useful to help

wondering about how they found out who saved the world from COVID the police saw something go into someone's house and sanitise their hands. They tracked the hero to a secret lair high in the hills 
Where they found him, Secret Sanitiser. He was seen making his own sanitised, the police went to the front door and asked who he was.
So that's how we found out who saved the world from COVID, so the news broke out that a “Secret Hero Saves World” from COVID. Secret Sanitiser will go down in history. After the police found Secret Sanitiser’s hideout it was abandoned and there is no trace of Secret Sanitiser, maybe it was a lie.

Then i see a big red thing, i run underneath it and hide behind a big peice of what was like wood in the tales my mum told me, wood is extinc on my planet because of the pollution. i was running in somthing yellow then i see a button. it was a miracle, it was some sort of music i started to dance on another fluffy surface. then i see the black thing i seemed to fall through the fluff and pop out in another place i started to run around and circles. it mst be a game, so i keep running the black thing decided to go and sit on a fluffy thing called a couch (so it was in the tales) i started dancing in front of it. it stopped playing the game 😡. i went to a small round thing with hot stuff in it, i knocked it over. then the the black thing came over it hid. this must be a game. then i ran, around and around and around then pop i was back home, the portal had run out of batteriess

Beach Results

 During this holiday i built a damn and it was amazing, it actully made the river bigger and slower  so we made another damn and we are still waiting for results. it is pretty cool how our first one worked. it filterd out the things floating on top it was like a filter it was also slowing the water flow jst like the 2nd one. When we went back our 1st damn to see results after heavy rain, the water had gone around it and some over it. the second damn was harder to build because the water was flowing faster because it was going down hill and it was pushed together.

When its pushed together it goes faster so it was harder to make a damn in a
More narrow river so it kept falling down.
We had to dig a ditch just mefore the damn to slow the water down.
It was scary standing on it becuase it could breack at any second. The old one was safer becuse it was on a flat surface and the new one was not as safe becase it was on the edge of a waterfall



Chapter 9 Flight! The White Stag
In this chapter the companions are going to prayers peak to get a good veiw of the land but Sturm reackons he saw a white stag so they follow its tracks. Only Sturm can see the tracks, some of them think it is becuase he has a head injury or it could be a spirit. it takes them through a passage wich seems to close behind them and it is a safe passage and there are no lisard things on it.

They get to the front of darken wood when clint started to complain because he was to old.

(12) The genre of this book is fantasy because there are creatures like elves and dwarfs, other books that i have read are Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit are also fantasy. a fantasy genre is set in a made up world with fantastacal beings like elves, wizards ect also there is madjic 

(22) If i could choose a friend from the story it wold be flint, he complains a lot (like me) he is a dwarf wich i think is cool and he is old he knows lots of things because he is old 😑. He is also a blacksmith which is useful for foargeing weapons andarmorr

Chapter 1The Ghost Jasper O'leary

In a small junk yard there was a grave, in the grave there was a fridge. In the fridge there was a small boy called Jasper. Jasper died Trying to eat an oil tanker. About 26 years later, there was a small house built on top of the junkyard and four people lived in this house. There was a short, fat guy who was called dad and another short fat woman who was called mum, and two little twerps called Billy and Bob. Billy was 8 years older than Bob. Billy was 10 and Bob was 2. Bob was tricksy even though he was a baby. The fat guy dad did not take much notice of Billy, they had no love left for billy. If Bob makes a mess, dad will blame Billy; because how could a baby eat all the ice cream and how could the baby get daddys secret rifle and blow a hole through the kitchen sink and Billy will get into trouble for anything the baby does.

Billy very dislikes Bob, Bob's first three words were “Billy did it” and Billy did not do it. Bob never gets caught, he's like a snake he can hide anywhere. Once Billy saw Bob drawing inappropriate things on dad's car and Billy snitched but when Bob was not there by the car but in his crib, Guess who got the blame Billy.

Anyway one day Billy was finishing his icecream and his parents came in and started screaming at him “You ate my cheese burger!” Said his mother. “You fat pig” said his father. “There's none left” said his mother screeching at him. “I Didn’t!” said billy. Bob was smirking at him. So that night the family got takeaways without poor billy. Then he heard slurping in the basement, He went down to his room in the basement. It was quite peaceful down there except there was an old rusty fridge that was rusted shut. He could not open it, it smelt like rotten flesh, or something rotten. He saw lots of cans next to the fridge he tried to open the fridge, It wouldn't budge he heard footsteps upstairs and he froze. If his family were at KFC then who's upstairs, “surely they didn’t leave the baby at home” he mutters to himself. He slowly walked up the stairs and grabbed a plastic sword from the cupboard in which his mother had put all the stuff that she had taken off billy. He walked slowly towards the baby's room and opened the door.

The place was trashed and there was stuff everywhere and there was a bit taken out of Bob's teddy. Then Billy heard noises from down stairs. He walked down the stairs cautiously and saw an almost see through child about billy's age eating all of the junk food. It didn’t see him but just kept going, then the child walked to the darkest corner of the room and sat there eating. Then Billy knew what was happening but still not quite sure. He got all the stuff he could gather and put it in a pile. The ghost saw the pile and stretched its huge mouth and then he screamed. Billy who had heard a story about “Junk food ghosts” knew that salad would make them explode. So he secretly put salad in the pile of junk and the ghost ate the whole lot. Then BOOOOM! It exploded and left Billy in a big mess of junk. Guess who got the blame...

The End

These chapters are about the companions coming out of the forest and out onto a road. Tas sees some creepy looking clerics with cloth on their hands pulling a cart. They have a “sick” brother and they say they need that blue crystal staff to heal him. Then Goldmoon comes out of the bush and asks if she can help. She goes into the carriage, and a lizard thing attacks her. The companions all jump out of the bush to defend Goldmoon, and Sturm gets a knock to the head. The staff seemed to burn the lizard things; they would die when it touched them.

My Sunday at the beach

Yesterday afternoon me and mum went to kororo beach, we walked all the way from home and it took about 20 minutes. When we got to the beach there was no people (Which is good) that is becuase we are still social distansing due to COVID19, what there was was lots of stones and drift wood. 

The wood gets washed down the river out to sea where it gets pushed up on to the beach. At the beach in kororo there is a little stream, the stream is where there is a dip in the beach rocks where water collects as it trickles out to sea, the water comes from other streams and small creaks. 

We noticed in one part of this stream there where an couple rocks sticking out of the water, they reminded us of a damn and so that gave us the idea to build a damn.

We built the damn out of lots of different sized rocks and stones, we layed them out like a line streetched across the water like a bridge. because the water wasn't deap we could sometimes stand in it without getting to wet, as we were building the damn and getting closer to the middle we had to stand on it to keep our shoes dry.

When we first started building it we were each at one side working our way to the middle, when we had finished for the first time i noticed that there were big holes so we used small stones and sand to fill them up.
  
After we had done that we noticed something else, the water was still trickling through but big things like leaves and dirty scum where being stoped by the damn. Our damn was like a filter. 

Dirty water with allsorts floating in it came towads the damn but cleaner water was coming out of it. all of the junk that was floating down stream got stuck at the front of or damn or was caught in the rocks.

We thought this was pretty cool and we did not intend to do it but it happend, next sunny day we will go back to se how much has built up.
