SLJ Lesson 2 (The Bad Guys)

Today as you can see above I have to choose a book for Curious Kiwi because he has left his book behind.

So I've chosen The Bad Guys! Learn More About It HERE!!!

The bad guys is a 9 episode book series filled with fun, chaos, comedy and just a sprinkle clumsiness.
It has short, funny chapters, weird twists and awesome characters
There's Mr. Wolf, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Snake, and Mr. Shark 

In the first book, Mr. Wolf has a daring plan for the Bad Guys first good mission. The gang are going to break 200 dogs out of the Maximum Security City Dog Pound. Will Operation Dog Pound go smoothly?

Personally, I think Curious Kiwi will love this book!

Jack Ultman A Short Story (Narrative Writing)

Jack Ultman

A Short Story

Created By Kody Davison Aged 11

Edited by Levi Karaka

And Kody Davison

Made In Honor of My year 7 Teacher and class

Chapter One

The Crew

This is a story about a man named Jack, Jack Ultman to be precise and he’s an office worker in Bosan, New Tokyo.
He has a son named Jase, a daughter named Lucy and a wife named Mia. Jack and Kim’s wedding anniversary is
coming up and Jack is thinking of taking the family camping for the first time he also wants to teach Jase how to
fish so Jack sets up for a pleasant camping trip out by the lakes of Yamahatsu.

Chapter Two

Lucifer

The sound of the car engine sputters and the car sparks to life with a rumble, the car starts to roll on to the road to
the point where as soon as you know it you're on the way to the camping grounds. When Jack and his family get to
the grounds they see that the gatekeeper was a great friend of Jack's that works part-time at the office.
As Jack finished his conversation with the gatekeeper Mia asked what section of the grounds they were staying in
and the gatekeeper simply whispered back Section Lucifer  with a pale voice and just like that the gatekeeper was
back to his job ignoring the Ultman family as they asked more questions until one specific question was brought
up “Why is the section called Lucifer?” as soon as the question was asked the gatekeeper instantly locked eyes with
Jack and said “Oh you’ll see” in a snarky voice. Jack felt a strange feeling as he drove through the gates
wondering if this was a good idea after all?

Chapter Three

The Night

Jack and the family finally found a place to set up camp after 23 minutes of searching, Jack springs out of the car to smell the fresh air but instead, he smacks his head on a huge branch that didn't seem to be there as they drove in.
Jack picks himself up as if nothing happened even though the whole family saw him. They walked up a path toward a circle of trees surrounding a shack Jack unlocked the back door with a key that the gatekeeper had given him.
As Jack was walking in Lucy peeked behind her to see chalk drawings Lucy struggled out of her mother's hand to
have a look at the strange drawings “hey daddy look there are a horn man and a boy in a circle” Jack stared at the
circle as if he had seen it before then Mia turned around to see what was happening behind her she saw Jack just
standing, staring at the circle as if he was just a shadow. Mia tapped him on the shoulder and Jack came out of his
hex and without talking to anyone he set off to search the house for somewhere to sleep as he left he had look on
his face expressing something weird Mia knew something was up because this isn't the first time this has happened.

C’hapter Four

Finally Quality Time.

The next day Jack had planned to go to the river with Jase so he went round to Jase’s room knocked on the door
and stormed in with a heroic look Jase woke with excitement to see his dad pretending to be a superhero “are you
ready to go fishing!” Jack yelled in an idiotic tone, Jase fell out of bed just to pop back up again into his dad’s arms,
Jase squeezed Jack as tight as he could as they walked off down the stairs toward the back door. As Jack reached toward the door handle he felt a shiver, Jase burst out the door as soon as he saw a crack of light separating the
door and the doorway. Once Jack had got over this weird feeling he got out the door to see Jase kneeling,
crying to see that the boat had evaporated into the depths of the gloomy forest.

Chapter Five

It All Makes Sense Now

Jack was confused to see the kayak was missing it just didn't make sense everything was going wrong on this trip
but that was about to stop Jack wanted this to be perfect but perfect it may not be. As an owl screeched its chilling
noises Jack set off into the woods with his watch reading 2:24 a.m he heard the chirps of birds, the clatters of the
tree’s and rustling of the animals on the ground but still moved on into the darkness. As he was looking at his
watch he heard an irregular sound coming from deeper in the tree’s as he edged closer to the complex noises
he found a crimson red substance laying on a pile dead leaves and twigs Jack thought it must be blood so he
ran until he couldn't run anymore and once he stopped to take inhale the misty air he saw it just standing there.
The creature had sharp yellow fang's , long narrow horns and the demons eyes locked with Jacks where dark red
shaded with a light grey blend, Jack didn’t believe this was happening but he knew he wouldn't stand a chance
against the beast so he accepted his fate to see that his fate would lead to cold-hearted death.

The End

Book two Coming Soon.

Something my Cybersmart teacher did well was Explaining things clearly and happily

Something she could do better.. NOTHING

Science Roadshow

Today my class and I got to experience intriguing shows and experiments revolving around science here are 3 photos and more information.

  

The Roadshow provides quality interactive learning experiences in science, technology, and innovation to New Zealanders. It has been doing so continuously since the first Science Roadshow started in 1988.

There are live shows, hands-on exhibits and teacher resources that assist student knowledge and experience, connecting with science and technology and the world around them. 
$8 per student but we got $6 off, accompanying teachers and adults free.

My favorite hands-on experiment was the spiral coin spinner because it had a strange effect and sound effect as it made it's way to the bottom overall it was very innovative and old made into a modern donation slot which I found pretty cool!

through research, I found it was a type of vehicle

It was also pedal powered

It is an amphibious bike of course!!

What Is A Growth And Fixed Mindset

Ice And Match Experiment

Ice Cold 14 September 2018

I Made A Matchstick Stick To Ice Just Using Salt.

(Not) Challenging Because The Ice Melted On My Computer But Matua Saved My Computer
Because He Swiped His Hand Under The Ice Just Before The Water Hit My Batery

Why It Happened Simply Because


You will need;

• A bowl of cold water
• A matchstick
• An ice cube
• Table salt

Instructions:

1. Place the ice cube carefully in the bowl of cold water
2. Gently place the match lengthwise on top of the ice and try to lift the ice cube
3. Put the matchstick back on the ice and sprinkle a little salt along the line where it touches the ice cube
4. Wait for 30 seconds and then attempt to pick up the ice cube again

What’s the science?

At first, the ice cube and water are in equilibrium meaning that the rate of freezing and melting is the same.

The salt lowers the rate at which the water freezes, so the ice melts faster.

This releases lots of energy in the form of heat, so everything gets colder, including the ice cube. Where there’s no salt (under the match) the ice cube refreezes, freezing the match in place.

Extra for experts:

Why do we sprinkle salt on icy roads?

Because It Dissolves The Ice On The Streets, Roads, And Alleys.

What Is A Common Factor?
