Yesterday we had our school science fair.  My science investigation was about
Hovercrafts.

Scientific Experiment Writing

B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that it will work, by hovering across the table.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	A CD a bottle cap and a balloon
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1:Glue the bottle cap over the cd hole. Step 2: Blow up the balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out.  Step 3: stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap. Step 4: open up the cap and place the CD on the surface.  Step 5: untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	It hovered across the table and left a trace of air.

E N D

CONCLUSION:

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduces the friction across the surface.

Speech

For the last two weeks we have been working on writing speeches. 

My topic was Fortnite.

We had to present them in front of our class. 

I think I did a good job

Here is my speech.

Did you know Fortnite is banned from anyone younger than 12. Fortnite is a video game with dangerous weapons and unkid friendly things. I believe Fortnite is an inappropriate game for anyone younger than 12.

Firstly, kids can get addicted to it by playing it too much. On Fortnite there is super addictive things on it such as the music and sounds effects. It has explosions, destruction and weapons.

Secondly, Fortnite is bad because is dangerous because there is video chat and you can talk to people online. You could talk to strangers and some criminals might be on there. You have to be careful that you don’t give out your personal details. 

Finally, the kids could end up as a criminal in jail when they are adults. After a while people might want to play with real swords and guns. They might use this when they are adults and go to jail.

I believe fortnite should be illegal. It is an inappropriate game for anyone to play. 

Good riddance Fortnite and hello freedom!!!

Maths Book

For maths this week we read a book called one is a snail ten is a crab. We then worked in groups to create our own version.My book is called one is a slug 10 is 2 cats and 2 slugs. Here is my book. I hope you like it.

Moon rover Lander

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a
paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given
the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our
Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did
not fly out.

The materials I used for my Moon rover was a cup a straw
and some paper.

What I like best about my Moon rover is the cup.

-

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was
that I did not change it.

One thing  I learned about landing on the Moon was
you need to have a proper space ship or you'll fall out.

Here is a video/picture of my Moon rover landing on our
school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!-
