Ants Experiment

The behavior that I noticed in the beginning was that a few ants came and walked around it and didn't even bother to stop for some time. My assumption for that is that they must not have been hungry.

Table Tennis

 I was looking forward to playing Table Tennis and when we reached the hall we saw that there were three tables laid out and I got exited because I knew that we were going to play a real game. After he gave us instructions the girls went and played around the world and the boys played beat the champ.

How to play Beat the champ:

So you line up then you decide who is going to be the champ and they stand on one side of the table. The opponent will always serve. You do a rally and if the champ wins then you go to the back of the line and the next person comes. If the opponent wins then the champ will go to the back of the line and the opponent will become the champ and stand on the other side of the table.

How to play Around the world:

So our coach stood as the main player at one side of the table and the opponents stood in a line and the coach served the ball and you have to hit it back to his side after it bounces once on your side and when you hit it you run around the table and to the back of the line. If you miss your shot then you are out. I made it to the second round. The next round where I got out was where the coach hit the ball to you and then you hit it back and then he straight away hits it for the next person in line. So you have to hit it then run around the table to the back of the line. This was the round where I got out. The last two people in the boys were Wuatai and Ali-Jon. And in the girls was Unita and Taijah.  The final round was to 5 points. Out of the girls Taijah won and out of the boys Wuatai won. The winner got five mentos and the second place got three mentos.

Maths

The problem for maths that we had today was, The Simi family traveled to KeriKeri on the weekend. The distance from Auckland to KeriKeri is 244 km. Mr Simi miscalculated the petrol they needed and only put in enough petrol to last them 3/4 of the way. How many kilometres did the travel before they needed more petrol.

The way we solved the problem was that 244 kilometres divided by 4 =61 km and because they only traveled 3/4 of the way there we multiplied 61 km by 3 and we got 183 km. So the Simi family traveled 183 km before they needed more fuel.

PBL-ENGLISH

 

Hi my name is Richie Rich and I am the richest kid in the world.

I have a massive which has 10 triple bedrooms, 10 40sqm bathrooms, 10 kitchens,

10 huge lounges and 10 100sqm sports fields. I have an annoying brother who is the same

age as me and we both share the same room. My brother Richard Rich is very aggressive

and he likes to brag in school that he has the richest parents and that he has

his own town called Richardville. He always lies to people because he thinks that it

makes him sound cool but it doesn’t. It just gives me a bad name because kids say

that he has his own town which he doesn't. The town’s name is Richville which belongs to all of us.

I have no friends and it stayed like that for ages while Richard has loads and loads of friends so finally I thought of an idea which will get me friends. I waited until Saturday then I invited some of my brother’s friends over to my huge mansion. Richard’s friends don’t like liars as friends and don’t know about the Richardville lie. They all believe that lie and make fun of me. 

The door bell rang and I opened the door, they came in, meanwhile Richard was not expecting them to be here because I hadn’t told him. I showed them around the house and the one thing that Richard's friends were most intrigued in was that Richie's house was so massive. All this was just to confuse Richard and when he left. I took them to the living room because nobody was there. I told them about Richard’s big lie about Richardville and they started laughing like crazy. I told them to be quiet but they didn’t hear so then my dad Rutherford Rich came down and said “guys what are you doing and Richie why aren't you telling them to keep the noise level down because I am working really hard on a um thing”

“Guys we have to be quiet otherwise dad will get mad and if dad gets mad it will be bad”

 like how bad?

 “Well he probably might ban me from bringing you guys over to my house” 

“Oh well then who cares about you we will  just spend time with Richard”

 Listen to this. “Guys make as loud noises as you can...  I closed my ears and made a run for it but just then my dad saw me and shut the gates”

 I thought that right I have lost these friends and now they think that I am a lier. But I know that it isn’t over just yet because I am going to get told of.

He came storming in with his big brown leather boots which cost a fortune and said 

“do you remember how I said to you about three years ago about the secret city I am going to build and if the residents living in Richville know about this new ville that I am planning to make they will all move there and do you know how much I hate those little rascals because one year ago they had a careless driver who ramed in to all the houses and buildings” 

“yes” 

I said in a quiet voice. He finally left and I was lonely again but I had an even better plan which sounds evil but I think Richard and his friends deserve it. 

I rang the same kids over to my house and they disagreed but somehow I got them all here. I took them to the living room and said “ I’ll be back in a while” They said alright in a boring kind of voice. I ran out the door and locked them in there but just before I closed the door I made a loud scream I said to myself now this shall serve them right. Just at that very moment my dad came and shouted at them so loudly I felt like I was about to get deaf if I wasn’t already. Then I opened the door and said 

“whats all the commotion for” “ and they said Richie you tricked us in to doing this”

But my dad didn’t believe them  no matter how much he growled at me he was always at my side and that was really good and really helpful in this situation.

HOW ARE BUILDINGS BUILT

Developers are people who design houses which might sound easy

but actually it requires a lot of architectural knowledge because you

can’t just draw it on a paper and hand it to a builder and expect them to build it.

A building is a structure with walls a roof and doors and windows.

Buildings are stationary or permanent because they are built in one

place and stay in that one place for as long as they are not moved like

some house/buildings.

 

There are many processes to designing and building homes like there is

a process called site an analysis which means to scan the building site for

any imperfections that will not allow the build to be done properly.

For example from the last build which was on that land had a pipe

which is going to affect the build. 

As a builder and designer, you would  think about what kind of foundation

would be required according to the height of the building. For example, the higher

the building the lower the foundation would need to be. The sky tower is 328 meters

tall and the foundation goes 12 meters of 39 feet.

After the foundation has been laid you must take the blueprint from the designer of

the building and start placing the framing which can consist of wood or steel and also

concrete which is mostly used in apartments or commercial buildings. Concrete is used in

commercial buildings mainly because it can resist fire up to 650 or 930 degrees Celsius and it

can also handle a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

The next step is to put in the insulation because insulation keeps you warm in the winter

and also cools your home in the summer because in summer your house can very easily

escalate the temperatures in your house up to 40 degrees. The insulation cools your home

in a way that blocks the hot air outside from entering the cool inside of your home and it does

that by creating a thermal barrier so that the warm air gets blocked.

Walls are next and for your walls gib is the best material for internal walls because they

are cost-effective, they are lite weight so that it is easy to maneuver they also provide

decent noise canceling as well as giving a good fire-resistant rating. Gib is a good material

because it is non-toxic and surprisingly made from 100% recycled paper. Gib is also known

as Plasterboard.

Now you will need windows and doors and in most modern houses double glazing is used to

improve the noise coming from outside and also preventing lots and lots of heat from entering

your home. And keeping warm air inside in the winter and cold air inside in the summer.

Doors are extremely important because they give you access to get in and out of your

house and they give you access in emergencies. In most modern homes doors are made

of fiberglass and hard wood such as Kwila or Cedar.

You now need a roof and in most newer homes roofs are made up of metal

like galvanized steel or sheet metal. Sheet metal is good for high winds and

thunderstorms because it can move a little bit.

Now in the final bit, you will need all of your connections to work. For example, you need

your water or your electricity and also your internet and for all of those things, you will need to

call an Electrician and a Plumber and also your internet companies people.
