Planes Can Fly
works. What I used to make this task was three colored paper a tape, scissor and a pencil, it said something about a ruler but it turns out that I didn't have one so instead I used the pencil which made it more complicated. So I followed the instructions on the video to make my three paper planes, it was so hard. Right after I finished my Project I made this video so you can watch how it works. Doing this challenge was hard and exhausting but I got over it. When I make these projects it's quite fun.

Power of Heat ( Part 3 )
What I needed to make this experiment was:
A foil
Pencil
A cup or a candle
Strings
Scissors
And a ruler
Step 1:
First what you need to do get your foil and pencil then draw around inside then cut it out (It should look like a tornado but upside down). Once you’ve done that, poke a hole in the middle, thread the hole with a string, then tie the string onto the ruler.
Step 2:
After that, use a cup with hot water and hold the foil above the cup. Wait for a moment then once you see the foil moving by itself then you’ve completed the task.
Another way you could have done it, was light a candle and put the foil above it then it could work that way.
Nanogirl made a video of her doing this activity and it worked like a charm, except the cup didn’t turn out well but what I learned about it is that heat increases more heat like the wind, when I put the foil above the boiling hot water then the heat inside the water rises to heat the tinfoil which makes the tinfoil move.

My Hour of Code
Today I've been playing a game called "Hour of Code". It's a game where you learn stuff like Nature, Ocean and Animals. Today I played a game called "The Grinch". In this game it has 20 levels, this game is mostly related to Driving. It was very hard for me actually difficult. I think that it will help me learn how to drive but in a different way. (Maybe you should try it)

Layers of the Earth
Today I've been learning about the layers of the Earth it shows that each layer inside the Earth has it's own meanings. There are only four layers inside the Earth, they are called The Crust, Mantle, Outer core and Inner core. I got these information from a video, it was very Helpful. The Website I got it from was the Auckland Museum. ( Come and take a look )

Make Your Own Water Wheel ( Part 2 )
Today I’ve been making a project to learn about the power of water. It was very hard but I kept on trying and trying until I got it right.
It was very hard for me, but I got some instructions from a video by Nanogirl. She made it look pretty easy but it was actually hard. What I used to make this experience was:
Colored paper
An extra sheet of paper
One rectangle paper
Scissors, Tape
String, marker
A pump bottle
A cup,ruler
A stick, Pencil
Blu-tack, a paper clip
A bowl and a measuring cup filled with water.
Step 1:
First what you’ll do is get a stick and a colored paper. Roll your paper then once you’ve done that, tape the line across, cut it in half and put that aside.
After that take your pump bottle, so in this way it’s probably a good time to ask a grown up to help you. The first thing you're going to do is pierce a hole in the bottle right on the top of the flat section, then you're going to cut around it until the top comes off.
Next, cut down one end. Then you’re going to cut the bottom off by twisting and going around (you’re not going to need the bottom). Now you’re left with a strip that is quite curly and that curve is going to help catch the water in your turbine blade.
Step 2:
Then what you’re going to do is try to flatten it. Because it keeps curling you’re going to use a cup on one end and then use your own hand to keep the other end flat. Now you want your blades to be three centimeters wide.
Use your ruler to count three centimeter six times then you're going to do the same thing on the other side. After that draw the line across on each line. After that cut them out straight and that’s going to give you six turbine blades that are all the same sides. Put them aside.
What you're going to do next is your blade housing. That is going to hold your turbine blades in place, so you're going to need two disc cards. You’re going to need a cup to make two circles then cut them out and that will leave two big circles.
Now you're going to put both of your big circles together, on a piece of Blu-tack. Then get your stick and poke it through the center of the circle and it will give both of your circles a hole in each circle.
Step 3:
After you’ve done that, get one of your circles and you’re going to draw a line from the center of the circle out the edges. Once you’ve got your line. You need want to divide it into sixths, so what you’re going to do is one half of your circle and try figuring out what would be thirds.
Next what you’re going to do is get your ruler and line it up on the dotted line then you draw a line across it then do the same thing with your other dotted line and that’s going to give you six lines on your circle. After that you’re going to mark another dotted line two inches inside your circle on each line.
Then you're going to get your other circle and you're going to put them together so that you are going to cut them at the same time on the line so you're going to cut each line on the circle then once you're done, your notches then you will put that aside.
Next what you’re going to do is draw two small circles (or you could draw around a coin if that’s easier for you) then cut them out then once you have two small circles get your Blu-tack and stick put your one of your circles on the Blu-tack and use your stick to make a hole through the center of your circle then that will give you a hole.
Then you're going to push your hole through your stick onto the far end of your stick then do the same thing with your other circle but put your circle the opposite way. Then you're going to get both of your big circles then slide it in the stick then separate them with enough distance.
Step 4:
Now you're going to get your six turbine blades then you're going to stick them inside the big circles with the cuted lines then tape the edges so it won’t come off. But you're going to face all of them the same way, once you’ve done that you're going to slide one of your small circles near the big circle and that’s going to give you an incredible turbine blade.
So you’re going to get your bowl or your sink and you're going to get both of your bearings (Your rolled paper) and slide the stick inside both on each side then use your Blu-tack stick it on the bearings so that it can stick on the bowl.
Then after that secure your string to your stick between your two small circles then use Blu-tack so it’s sticky enough to hold once you’ve done that. Use the other end of your string and tie it to a paperclip then cling your paperclip to something small.
Then get a cup or measure cup with water inside there pour the water on the turbine blade and there you have your very own “Water Wheel”. If it worked great, if not go on and have another try.

What Have I been learning ( Part 1 )
A sheet of square paper,
A half sheet of paper,
An extra small paper,
scissors,
tape,
a pencil,
strings,
a bottle lid and a ruler.
Step 1:
First you get your pencil and a half sheet of paper. Then you put the pencil on the paper then roll it but not too tight so the pencil has enough space to wiggle through, then once you’ve rolled it, you seal the edge of the paper with tape then you take out the pencil.
Step 2:
Next, what you do is get your paper that you made and cut about 2 inches wide then you have two rolled papers. After that you get your bottle lid and your extra paper to make two circles, then cut them out. Once you’ve done that, you get your pencil and you poke it through your circle, but before you do that you might want to get something soft to poke through, like Blu-tack.
Step 3:
After that you put your circle through your pencil then after that get a string and tie it on your pencil and tape it then you do the same thing with the other circle and poke it in the same pencil.
Step 4:
What you do next is get the sheet of square paper and fold it on each corners and that will give you a cross inside then mark your pencil in the center and after that use a ruler to draw a line that is about two thirds of the way in from the end corner and your gonna do the same thing on each corner. Now you want to cut along these lines that you’ve just made and they are going to be your wind turbine blades.
Step 5:
When you do that, get your pencil to poke through your square paper but this time take it off and thread it on the back of the pencil instead once you’ve have a hole that's big enough to fit.
Now the back of the turbine blade needs to sit at the back of your small guide and you tape it with a little bit of tape.
Step 6:
What you do next is put a bit of tape at the back of the corner then tape it down in the center but don’t tape it on the pencil then do the same thing with the other corners then you'll have your wind turbine but not quite finish. So you get your ruler and pencil to stick it onto your bench with sticky tape, once you do that slide the two rolled papers in the pencil and space them out then tape it down with the ruler.
Final Step:
After that, get a hair dryer and use it to blow the turbine blade.
If it works Well done. If not, well you’ve tried.
I did this activity because I wanted to learn how winds work and it worked pretty well. What I liked about it was making the turbine blade which was really cool. What I will do differently in my future work that I will use those tools to improve my writing in the future.

Recount Writing-Swimming Skills for life
Yesterday I had swimming sessions with the boys at a place called SwimMagic. I was so scared and nervous.
When we got there I saw a big pool right beside us. It was massive. I thought I wasn't able to go swim or touch the bottom of the water. After that we took our towels on the bench and went with our groups and coaches. I had a nice coach, her name is Lauren. She gave us goggles to wear and floating boards to use. We learned how to kick out our legs, how to float and how to freestyle. It was hard but I got used to it.
At the end of the session we did this big splash called the Manu. It was so cool, everyone did big splashes. I did one but it wasn’t quite a Manu but I had fun. After that we went out of the pool, got our towels and went back to school.
During coming back to school we sang. We came back to school on a bus, we said thank you to the bus driver and went to Room 7. We got changed into our uniforms and just chilled for half an hour. After that it was the end of school,the boys got their bags and sat on the mat and did our prayers.
Next we did was we went in line at the canopy to walk down to the gate and went home.
I had a fun day.
