Warm Bodies Book

So far this book has been about a world with only zombies the book is in the prospective of a guy at a early stage of death in the zombie world.

In the zombie world there is different stages of being a zombie. He talks about how its like being a zombie and  how it is a lot calmer than it was like being a human. He also is not attracted by how anyone looks because they are all half dying zombies.

Today I learned that if you mix Magnesium and Oxygen you make a white solid or Magnesium Oxide. You make it by lighting Magnesium on fire until it catches a flame. The flame is bright white more bright than a normal flame.



Mg+O2→MgO
Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium Oxide
Silver/grey solid + Clear colourless gas → white powdery solid

Robotics with ms Chowfin

This year in robotics we tried to make a buggy we made ours out of Lego and it was controlled with the Edison but our prototype was made out of paper and tape which is a big down grade from our lego one. we have learned a lot about the Edison and the sphero

Robotics is not just robots it has a lot of thing's it branches out to a lot of things like
engineering,Science,Construction,Operation,Building and a lot more. we also use robots like
Sphero,Ozbot and Edison.

Mars is a very hot planet the reason why is because it's the 4th closest planet to the sun and a rocky one too. and there are 2 moons of mars but earth only has 1 which is pretty cool. And a mars day is 24 hours and 37 mins long but an earth day is 23 hours and 57 minutes.

Here is some info about the Edison:

 We have not used to much of Edison but it is pretty fun but the least fun of them all. You can put lego blocks onto the Edison for design and you can program him to do stuff and is powered by batteries the micro-controller can do stuff too if just tap the micro-controller once for it to move direction and it’s good for learning.

Here is some info about the Ozobot:

 

Ozobot is very small but that does not mean its not smart. It follows the marker that comes with the ozobot and it is very good at following the only way you can fool it is if you cross lines

Here is some info about the Sphero:

Sphero is a robot that has a lot of uses but you have to have an electronic device for it to work you use your phone/computer to move it forward backwards and side to side and you can use it for education or just games for fun.

Here is a picture of our buggy:

Camp reflection

It started on Monday when I was walking down to school at 8:15 I was excited but a bit nervous at the same time I was in Matē's car. when we were going we went into the car then it was the ride to temple basin. we got to the destination but not really it was up a giant hill it was so tiring I fell over more times than I can count but it was worth it. we got up there we unpacked all the stuff into our room's and went and played with the ping pong table that was there. we had spicy chicken rice coleslaw and a wrap.  we were up till like 10:30 telling joke's and talking I had the worst sleep ever I got like 4 hours of sleep then on tomorrow for breakfast I had 2 pieces of marmite on toast then we woke up played some ping pong and skied I learned how to go a lot slower I was using the ski lift I used it a bit. I skied with   Matē most of the time. then we finished skiing we grabbed our bag's and took them to the Goods Lift so they would go to the bottom of the mountain then we walked sometimes slid down the mountain. then we got our bags went into the car and got home. my favourite thing about the trip was skidding with the skis.

Making a business

This week we were learning about making businesses through social media now here is my opinion on this. Well, I really like this idea because it lets your work go to other people more easier without mass amounts of advertising. most people just use Instagram or Twitter for texting their friend's but you can use it for so many other reasons like sharing your businesses so you get more people coming and they might tell their friends about how good your business is then their friends might come. And if you start young it will help you when you get older. also, you get some money for doing it so you can save money for having a website or just something that will help you out and this is why I think having a business when you're young is a really good idea and more schools should teach about this math might be good and all but you can make businesses too.

Kayaking reflection

Last month I went kayaking With some of the class mates time went by so fast first we got into the kayaks I am not the tallest person so I did not have a giant kayak but it fit so then I had some food then got into the water it was great fun because we had some fun activities and we did races with one of the races we did it with only hands the water was so cold it felt like my hands would have fallen off but they did not (of course) but time flew by so fast it felt like it was 30 minutes but it was like 2 hours.

Rafting Reflection

To start it off rafting was very fun We did camp fires food, not the best food (Cough Cough the pancake people. Spotlight was fun. we made some jokes at the campfires. It was very hard to get to sleep because it was so cold and people were talking. and in the middle of the night, Mr McAuley knocked on our tent and said. WHAT ARE YOU DOING its the middle of the night everyone can hear you. and the next day woke up hade some breakfast then went rafting near the end we had to walk to shore and out feet were numb. then we discussed what out favourite thing was about the camp and Daniel said getting back to shore my favourite bit was going down the rapids

Rock climbing and abseiling journal

I woke up in the morning very excited and a bit scared for rock climbing and abseiling the car ride was so boring but I loved rock climbing because it was not like clip and climb where you know where to climb you have to find out a way to get up and abseiling was fun and scary because you have to work yourself down the mountain and it’s all up to you. well not really but if you fall you will go straight down unlike falling in rock climbing where you would just stay there but abseiling is still very fun and easy to learn. sadly we did not get to see any dolphins apparently the group the went before us saw a dolphin. also in 2 days, we are going rafting this is an overnight trip so we get to go into a tent with some friends and eat some food.

Weekly Reflection

Yesterday was fun because we got to do electronic things like racing our little cars first we got wires to put in the circuit and LEDs and we made this little LED light to light up and we put four of them on our circuit and we got to use the buzzer and whenever you flicked the switch it made a really really loud sound. and two days ago steve gurney came around he is an inspirational talker He talked about how he always get last in the cross countries but when he got to high school in the longer run he gets around the middle of the bunch so he said "hey I'm better and long distance runs. so he done a marathon it was his first time and im pretty sure he got 23rd then he tried again got 3rd and then he started training more he done the marathon but he got third again so he trained even more and he got second and he was sure he could get first but he did not so then he said to himself "I should be doing smarter training not longer training" so he done smarter trainer then for the fifth time he's done it he got first place.

My accident

I went down to school to ride my scooter with my friends we went down the ramp a couple times but that got boring so we done a race because the last time I done that was when I was 9 or something. It went good for a while then I was coming first then my brother cut the course and was not letting me move so I speed up then he speed up I was about to get in front of him. he turned really quickly. I fell over and could not walk I had to get a hand so I went to bed and watched tv it was 7pm so soon after I went to sleep I woke up and It was really swollen mum took me to the hospital we waited for a while then they told me I needed crutches for 2 weeks. and that's how I am in crutches

William Pike challenges #1 Caving Cave Stream

It was a really fun time at Cave stream. It was my first time going in a cave and exploring. Well the cave was so cold but it was worth it. I fell over quite a bit also bumped my head quite a bit but I had a helmet on. the climbing was hard to but I had to get up to the cool rock huts. This cave is one of my most wonderful experiences. We had all the gear we needed. Caving cave stream was amazing and that was only our first activity of the William pike challenge awards
