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.

What I want to Learn about this Term

This term I want to learn lots about science. This term my school inquiry is all about science. We've been learn about science so far using liquid, heat, expansion, and stuff reacting. Science has been really fun so far and I really like learning about it.

My L.P Goal

L.p goals (learning profile goals) are goals such as being a questioner, being organised, using your initiative, being a problem solver, having pride in my achievements and lots more. These goals are really important to learn at school because if you are good at doing these, your learning progress will be way better than it could be. At the moment my goal is being organized. I think that iwill improve on this goal by getting everything ready for stuff before I even have to or get everything done and then go and reward myself. I think that I am improving my goal and if I keep it up,I reckon that I will be able to get organized without even thinking about it.

What I am proud of this term

This term I have been proud of lots of things. One of them is making it to the top of the rewards ladder. There are twelve steps in the rewards ladder. Every time you pass a basic facts test of a rocket spelling test you go up one step. Once you get to the top of the ladder you get a reward of something random. Another thing is going to Young Leaders. It was really fun at Young Leaders and i'm really happy that I went, And just like my old teacher said, it's not a right, It's a privlige. There are lots of things that i am proud of this term and there are a few things right there.
