the hottest place and the coldest place on earth

 the hottest place on earth and the coldest place on earth                                                                        

death valley (USA California ) is the hottest place on earth.

Antarctica is the coldest place on earth

This is the hottest place on the earth

the average for death valley is nearly 120 degrees in August, 

why is death valley sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot well I'm going to tell you.

the depth and the shape of death valley influence its summer temperatures. the valley is sooo long and narrow basin 282 feet (86m) below sea level, yet it is walled by high, steep mountain rangers these moving masse of superheated air blow throughout the valley creating extreme high temperature.

Here is the coldest place on earth

what is the average of Antarctica? 

the average of Antarctica is -10 c on the coast to -60c at the highest parts of the interior.

people all so ask why is Antarctica soOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO COLD well that's good I'm here cause I'm gonna tell you. it's cold their caus they don't get any directed sunlight. also, the sun is so far below the horizon that it doesn't come up for months at a time.

snow man on the door step

 

On Christmas Eve they came…

She had first seen them through the sitting room window, as she peeked out cautiously through a gap in the curtains.

Opening the front door, the little girl took a sharp intake of breath as thousands upon thousands of snowmen stared at her. Many of the small, white figures carried signs, written in different languages.

They must have traveled from all over the world to be here, on this special night of the year. But…Why had they come? What did they want? Why had they chosen her?

  trillion thoughts flying through her mind, about a thousand eyeballs were staring at her. But a million thousand years ago she knew every single one of them by heart. She couldn't stand the cause they speak wonk kong had they only WRITE on PAPER. 3 hours still staring….. Holly remembers a bit of wonk kong, she understands it's said 

Dear Holly as you see their heaps of us and we would like to know if you remember us or not remember we are the team yolo by Pete.

Holly's face went wonky she could believe it team yolo team Yolo, holly starts walking around the house say they used to live in a big white I'm in a big white house ohh MYY GOOD she spits out the door hugging Pete and all of the team come, come in make yourself at home every single one comes in they finally found each other they live happily ever after the end

Four square (how to play)

 four square was invented in 1968 by four girls in the Westmount area of Quebec. 

Equipment:ball/chork

Time: It dependants, on how long you want to play it for.

rules: the ball must bounce once in everyone's square.you can move anywhere outside the square or in your section of the square. The person that is going to sever has to SAY (are you ready) there's a reason for that is the cause if someone is looking the wrong way and you pass to them there going to be out.

how to play: everyone has a square. there's one ball when the ball comes towards you and someone hits it to you, you hit it to another person but you have to hit it underarm.when you get out, you got to the back of the line (behind number one).your aloud to trick people if you're the Queen or the king (in number four).everone has to stand out of the line (just on the line) the amie of the game is to try and stay in number four or try to get people out. how to get people out is hitting the ball incorrectly like catching the ball or holding in, hitting the ball with a body part, not your hand. you need to keep your eye on the ball ANYONE can hit the ball to you at any time.

What rule did Djokovic break? He it the ball dangerously 

Do you agree with Djokovic’s punishment? Why? Explain

Watch the video in the article. Do you agree with what the man said? Explain yes I agree with his punishment because he needs to calm down and take things slowly and make sure he is hitting rightly.

Miss Farr made us read the back of are books and the front to find the important bits to put on are blogs.:p

water Quailty write up

 

for the past week, we have been doing water Quality. this Monday we went to the creek also we went down in a change of clothes so we would get are school uniform wet.once we were there we started on gravel and sediment.if you want to hear more read my procedure.

maybe next time I could add a wee bit more color.

here are some pictures.

this is Bella looking at the bugs on the rock.

Harrison is pouring water into the container.

Tahlia watching him also Emily is (me) waiting to scoop out another bucket of water but we had to try to get gravel in the water.

currents and voltage

 today we have been exploring current and voltage.

current is a way that electrons move through the circuit.

volts or voltage is the force that makes the electrical current. the higher voltage your light will go brighter or if you have a buzzer the buzzer will go louder.

for the past few weeks we have been learning about electricity. are school orders a few electricity kits we were the first students to use them so we are very lucky.

the tables explain what we predicted what we thought was going to happen before we started.

we found out the results by connecting the different types of volts with the double-a batteries/cells

we made the prediction because miss farr told us.

the adventure

water worries

Water worries   

How its started
It started where people had longer showers  and after the Christchurch earthquake people learnt that water is one of our most basic needs 


Where are we water from?
Like rivers ,streams, lakes,springs,and  even rain water on the roof.

How is it  dirty?
This means everything  you put down your drain ends up in the water supply household: cleaners, paint,animals,waste this dirty water is then back in the water cycle.

Probables they had
They had  their water slowly going away because there had been no rain for a wee while now. Many countries such  as  Australia already have serious water shortages.And some of the worlds biggest rivers are  drying up. Although this hasn't happened in new Zealand, climate change has meant that our rainfall patterns are less reliable.


There solutions:
They  have collected the sea water and Separated the salt to make the Water drinkable  because There  running out of water Scientists have been inspired by coastal plants that suck moisture from the sea fog.

Other water futures:
in the meantime you can help have shorter Showers always think about what your tipping down the drain turn off the tap  when you are brushing your teeth and never Waste that glass of water


Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed
