2013 With Mrs Roil.

My Year With Mr Roil/2013

What I enjoyed most this year was doing Christmas art with Mrs O'kane. For example when we did the Christmas caravan. We had to work with a buddy and my buddy was Heith. I also liked the sport activities that all the year fives did when the year six’s went on camp. We did five different activities and my favorite one was weaving with the rope through the little holes.

The thing I enjoyed doing most with Mrs Roil was the night walk on the last night of camp. Where we had to find about nine pages of paper that had one word on each. And at the end it made a hole sentence.

So there’s three things that I enjoyed most this year.

The Force

The force

Today for our experiment we found out if the air from the hair dryer could lift a ping pong ball.

You Will Need:

1.A hair dryer.

2. A ping pong ball.

To start off you need to hold the hair dryer as still as you can and slowly place the ping pong ball on top. Then the ping pong ball will go up and the reason it goes up and not to the side is because the force around the hair dryer allows the ball to only go up. But when we put two balls on the hair dryer one of the balls would push the other one off. If one person blows the ball while the hair dryer is on it will not fall off. But if three or more blow on it it would fall off.

Balloon Experiment

                         ~Science~

What happens when air gets hot? Today I will do five paragraphs about our experiment that we did today. The first paragraph will be about what you need,the second one will be about how to immerse in hot water,The third one will be about observation,the fourth one will be about particles and how the heat caused movement,and the last one will be about expanding.

1.You will need half a bucket of cold water and half a bucket of HOT water, two balloons,and  two used plastic bottles. You need to put the balloons on top of the plastic bottles and carefully with tongs you put one bottle in the bucket with hot water on it’s side and the balloon will expand. If you put the other bottle in the cold water It will do nothing and that it called a state of  Inertia.

2.To make this science project you need to immerse the bottle in water. If you don’t know what immerse means it means when you surround something or someone with an object. The steam is rising into the bottle and then it goes into the balloon because it has no where else to go,and it makes the balloon expand. If you leave it in for too long it might pop.

3.On the day we did the experiment we needed to observe the experiment or I wouldn't be able to tell you all this stuff that I’m telling you right now. If you don’t know what observe means it means to sit down and kind of study it or watch it for a long time.

4. The balloon inflated in the hot water because the hot steam raised in the the bottle and the steam had no where else to go so it had to go into the balloon and that's how the balloon inflated. With the cold water one It didn't move and again that is called a state of inertia.

5.The Balloon expanded because the hot air in the bottle had nowhere else to go.So it had to go in the balloon. And that's how the balloon expanded.  

Here is a diagram:

The egg drop

What Happened

Splash the egg falls in the the cup YAY you did it Paige.  When my group did it Paige was first you need to  pull the plastic plate as fast as you could. We needed a used toilet paper roll,a plastic plate,an egg,and a cup half filled with water. you put the toilet paper roll on the middle of the plastic plate and then you put the egg on top of the toilet paper roll, and the plate goes on top of the cup. Then you pull the plate as fast as you can,and the egg should fall in.

Mini Golf In Taupo  

WHACK, as I hit the ball with my stick. ‘ Hole in one’ I yell out to my family.  ‘Your turn uncle Hayden try beat that. ‘oh no’ my uncle Hayden said I didn't get a hole in one.  there is 1-18 holes that you have to go to.  The last one had a cave that your ball had to go through.  I gave my aunty Tt a turn on the last hole she hit the ball so hard all we could hear at that moment was SMACK,the ball had gone over the ledge into the garden and then splash in the pond it goes,and who has to get it me.  I was all wet on the sleeve so we gave the lady at the counter the stick and our balls got in the car,went home for lunch.

Great Nana

My Great Nana

what she looks like:

My great nana has wavy short black and grey hair.  Shes got hazelnut eyes.  My great nana is 88 and she is turning 89 this year.  Great nana wears white and grey clothes.  Usually long pants a t-shirt,jersey,and slippers.  She has wrinkles and freckles on her face and she has false teeth.  Great nana has wrinkly ears.  And you have to talk loud! or she won't hear you.  She is medium height.  She is a very exciting and nice great nana.  When we go to Auckland you always have something to look forward to.  If it is dinner or something else. Although she is very old and slow she’s still perfect to me.

behaviour:  

Great nana rewards us for good behaviour with treats.  Nana encourages us to try harder and go over our limits. My great nana is always trying to keep everything tidy before we get there.  or if it’s someone else.

How She Affects Other People:

Some people say that my nana can really grumpy when she’s in bad moods.  My great nana can talk very loud but I Know she doesn't mean it.         

Her Interests.

My great nanas in Interest is her old fluffy rocking chair that she had when she was eight.

When she sits on that chair she listings to old music,or watches television. and it reminds her of her parents.  Her other interests are her old cat Cloe who is over 12 years old.  Cloe is scared of children because when she was a kitten a little boy picked her up by the tail and spun her around and then dropped her on the ground.  Last time we went up to Auckland was the first time I got to pat Cloe.

the catch

                 The Catch.

I was a boy that needed some fish for the village.  While I  was sitting there I had a sad and boring expression on my face.  Then I saw that my line was  being tugged by something so I pulled the line in and I was surprised and disappointed at the same time because I had caught a fish but it was too small.  That would not  feed the whole village.  It would not even feed me!  

Then I heard  a yelp. I was feeling worried,scared,and strangely,  brave.   I went through some bushes  and I saw a fox.  The fox was  bright golden orange.  It’s eyes were brown.  It was stuck on a rope so I pulled my knife out  of  my pocket.  The fox turned it’s head  round and I think, I really think, that  it thought I was going to kill it  but I cut the rope and it jumped on me and pushed me over.  Then it was  like it froze.  It was sniffing.  It could smell the fish.  The dead fish in my basket.  It ran off so I chased after it.  I had to climb under stuff, over stuff, through stuff and  around stuff  but I made it.  

Then I stomped on the ground and the fox turned around and through the fish somewhere. I was puzzled   so I looked where the  fox through it and wow! I was amazed!   This huge fish flies over my head.  The fox gives me a stick.   I tie my rope to the stick  with a hock  on the rope and I catch the huge fish and a little fish too.  The fox and I  walked back to the village. I gave the little fish to the fox and walked away. The fox turned into dust  because it got what it wanted.  That day the fox taught me    how to feed the village.

onepoto caving

            Onepoto  caving:

the part that i liked most was Onepoto caves,  

The track starts with a ten minute walk through rocky outcrops and over-hangs. It then follows a ridge, branching off different points.

What we did was caving at the Onepoto Caves. I went on the 27th to the 31st of May. The whole of room 17 went too.  The reason why is because it was a class camp/trip. How we got there is  five of  the the parents brought their vans for us  to go in.   

Next time I would like to experience more about caves,glow-worms,and cave weta.

I chose this because it is a new experience for me and it was very exciting  to learn about caving.

glow worm

          Glow Worm Facts

Glow worms live in dark places like caves and dark forests.

There are lots of different glow worms that live in the world but there is only one kind In new zealand. it is called a arachnocampa luminosa.

The female can lay up to one hundred eggs.

 

Glow worms mostly live in dark places like caves and forests and just in dark spots.

Glow worms use its glow to attract food like an insect to eat.

Glow worms eat things like a midget fly’ firefly and anything wingles.       

Four stages are involved in a glow worm's life  cycle the egg changes into larva the pupa and finally the adult  files.

Glow worms can survive only in damp dark places where their light can be seen.

A  glow worm uses its glow to invite insects to diner. Insects fly towards the glow and get stuck in the sticky lines that the glow worm makes like a spider web. It also uses its glow to turn other creatures off eating it.

Glow worms live in caves because they are damp so the glow worm doesn’t dry out; because there are lots hanging surfaces; because there are lots of insects and its dark to allow the glow worms glow to be seen.

This is a picture of a glow worm's life cycle look its gos as a egg then a glow worm then a pupa and finally the adult flies.                                        

                                                                                                   

I got the picture from a website called glow worms life cycle in images.  I got this image from www.waitomocaves.co.nz glow worm

cave weta

                    cave weta report

                                                       

The cave wetas are only found in New Zealand. They are  so old that they outlived the dinosaurs which was more than 200 million years ago.

Cave wetas eat fruit,cardboard,plants, and insects,and much much more. Cave wetas ears are not just on the sides they are on there head like ours to. Cave Wetas use their ears to figure out which direction the noise is coming from.   

Wetas are related to grasshoppers crickets and locusts.

Female Cave wetas lay 300 eggs  their lifetime which is up to seven years and hatch around 1 to 2 months. Once the baby weta is 18 months old it will be a adult. Once a boy and a girl are partners they mate with each other. Their life cycle is about two to seven years.

Please don't harm it or take it out of its habitat because it is a  native creature.

Sasha Runs Away

One day my dog Sasha ran away I opened  the gate to let Scruffy out and then she  bulleted out the gate. She ran down the street 100 miles an hour. Then she started to chase a bike. The man
on the bike started to go fast. Probably to get away from Sasha he finally got around the corner Sasha
came zooming past us so I went after her, nan said “what are you doing”” trying to get Sasha” I replied.  It took me awhile but  I finally  got her. I said hahaha to Sasha. Then we went for a
walk.
