The 6 key elements of drama. (show me movie)

(Persuasive writing) Why dogs are better than cats.

I strongly believe that dogs are better than cats because dogs are way more fun, energetic and useful to have than cats are.

Firstly, what's so fun about a cat.  They do hardly anything all day but eat, sleep and go to random places, but dogs are way fun, energetic and they love to play.

Secondly, Imagine hunting with a cat.  They would be hopeless at it, but dogs are great at hunting and they are really useful at other stuff too.

Thirdly, you can teach really awesome tricks to dogs like catching a frisbee, fetching a ball and bringing it back to you and even getting the newspaper for you, but a cat couldn't even fit the newspaper in it's mouth.

Fourthly, I went around class to see what people would prefer out of a cat and a dog.  14 people voted for dogs, 3 people voted for cats and 1 person voted for imbetween.  That means that most people prefer dogs more than cats.

Finally, I asked my friend Robbie his opinion about what's better out of cats and dogs and he said "I think dogs are far better than cats because dogs are more playful, energetic, Friendly and they are not scared of people like some cats are".

So there you go.  Dogs are way better than cats because they are more fun, energetic, playful  and useful than cats and I am 100% sure that I have persuaded you that dogs are far better than cats.

3D Shapes

At school we have been learning about 3D shapes.  Most 3D shapes have atleast 1 vertice , 1 edge, and 1 face.  Vertices are pretty much like corners, faces are the sufaces or faces on the shape, and edges are when to faces meet on the shape.  This shape is a rectangular prism.  It has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.






This next shape is a pyramid.  It has 5 vertices,  5 faces and 8 edges.

My schools art inquiry

This term our school is doing an inquiry on art, but not just visual art.  Also Music, dance, and drama.  We're going to have two days learning about each of the different arts after lunch and after we have gone through them all we are going to chose one that we are most passionate about to learn about for  around 5 weeks.  We're only half way through the different arts so far and they have been fun so I hope the other 2 are fun as well.

My Animation

The other day I made an animation called The Guy who Tried to Fly.  It took around 2 or 3 days to film.  

After the filming we put it onto iMovie.  Then we added music and sound affects to make it more awesome.  Finally, we put it onto youtube for other people to watch.

How a Candle Works

Candles are a stick of wax with a wik (the stick thing at the top) at the top of it and they are used to make a flame.

The causes to make the flame are solid wax, a wik, the matches and oxygen. These four things make the flame.

After that the effects are made. The effects are smoke, heat, liquid wax and the liquid wax getting soaked up the wik.

Flames need fuel to keep them going so the flame melts the solid wax and it turns into liquid wax. Then the wik soaks up the liquid wax like a tissue soaks up water. Then the liquid wax makes his way to the top of the wik wich is where the flame is, and the flame feeds on the wax to keep it going.

Candles are really useful tools but they can also be dangerous so be careful around them.
